Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 633

Chapter 633 Choice Made

"Kendall, ask Dylan to look for Emma. I'm on my way to your place." Roger was speeding through the streets.

"Slow down, Roger. It'll be fine. I'll tell Dylan right away. Calm down." Kendall went back into the lounge.

Dylan was in the middle of a call when she came in, and he waved at her. She approached him, and he handed the phone to her. "It's Miss Finley."

Kendall took the phone and said to Roger, "Emma's calling me. Now slow down, Roger."

Roger heaved a sigh of relief. "Good to hear."

"Now drive slowly. I'll talk to her."

Roger grunted and hung up.

"Emma," Kendall said. "Roger almost had a heart attack. I did as well. He told me everything. How could you hide it from me? We're friends, aren't we? You should've told me."

Emma said apologetically, "I didn't mean it, Kendall. My phone died. I was worried Roger might panic, so I used Toddy's phone to call him, but he was in another call, so I tried to call you. You were taking a call too, so I called Mr. Coleman. Tell Roger I'm having dinner with Toddy. Tell him he doesn't have to

worry about me. We've cleared things up. He's a good man. He deserves better."

Kendall said nothing. Noticing everyone trying to listen in, she left the lounge again. She didn't want Kelly to find out that Emma might have cancer.

Kelly wanted to know what was going on between Emma and Roger, but Kendall left. Even though it was her house, Dylan was sitting right there. His cold aura stopped her from leaving. She stayed back, fearing that Dylan might destroy her.

"So, you've decided to go with Toddy?" Kendall walked along the concrete path around the house. Roger and Kendall were prepared for this outcome. Toddy was her most intense love, after all.

Emma promised she would give up if Toddy didn't come back to her. She said she only needed some time to forget about that relationship, but Toddy regretted what he did and was trying to woo her now. Yet, Emma was still holding on. Kendall thought Emma would eventually give in. Roger had no chance.

A moment of silence later, Emma said, "The results I showed Roger are real, Kendall. I'm dying. I can't promise anyone a future with me."

"It's not certain yet. Roger told me it's just a suspicion. Don't give up hope, Emma. Do a few more checkups in different hospitals. My friend did a checkup and got a cancer diagnosis when she was just having a normal period. She was shocked and went to get second and third opinions in different hospitals. They all gave her the same answer that the first doctor misdiagnosed. Put aside the relationship stuff and take a day off tomorrow. You need to get checked. I'll tell Roger to go with you, or you can ask Toddy to go with you. I'll tell Roger. He wouldn't mind. Emma, don't give up. I can't believe you kept this a secret. Once this is done, I'll smack your head."

Emma smiled. "Yes, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Calm down, Kendall. I'll take the day off tomorrow and do a few more checkups. Toddy helped me a bit. I should go to Imperia if it's really PMME. The oncologists there can help."

"Then go to Imperia. Orapolis has decent facilities, but you need an expert's opinion." It was her first time knowing PMME. She had no idea what it was, but she knew it spread fast. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Sure, Kendall. Now calm down."

"I will if you would see a doctor. Don't worry about me. I'm not an amateur anymore, and Dylan can help me if I need anything. Right now, your health is more important. I pray it's just a misdiagnosis."

Kendall put her hands in a prayer, praying that God wouldn't be so cruel to her friend. In her last life, she barely talked to Emma. She had no idea what kind of woman Emma was in her last life, and even until Kendall died, Roger never got married. She had never heard of Roger dating anyone in her past life either. The reason Roger and Emma met was thanks to Kendall being reborn.

Kendall kept trying to cheer Emma up, and she hung up when Emma said she had to have dinner. However, Kendall didn't go back inside right away, but she walked around the yard, watching the sun as it set behind the horizon. Slowly, dusk descended.

"Kendall," Dylan called out from behind her.

She turned around and saw Dylan approaching her. A moment of silence later, Kendall trotted over to him and pounced into his embrace, hugging him tightly.

Dylan asked nothing at first. He merely gave her a quiet hug.

The scent of Dylan and the feeling of his warmth calmed her down a lot. She looked up at him. "Can you kiss me?"

Dylan gazed into her eyes and pecked her lips. When she closed her eyes, he kissed her eyelids, then her forehead, then back to her lips, though the kiss went deeper this time.

They parted lips eventually, and Kendall blushed. She looked like a blooming rose. "Sometimes I wonder if this is all a dream." Kendall touched his chest. Only the sound of his heartbeat could assure her that this was not a dream.

"What happened?"

"Emma went for a checkup before she started working at Parker Corporation. They found an anomaly, so she went for another checkup. Now they suspect she's down with PMME. Oh, which reminds me. I have to Google it." She quickly backed out of Dylan's embrace and looked PMME up. Primary malignant melanoma of esophagus, or PMME, grew on the surface of human skin. The tumor looked like a birthmark, but not quite so.
