Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 550

Instead of responding immediately, Kelly questioned Laura, "Do you wish to see Kendall and Master Dylan being all

lovey-dovey?"

"So what if I don't want to? I don't even dare confess my love to him," Laura said dejectedly.

She had fallen in love with Master Dylan for as long as Yasmine had.

Though Yasmine had already given up, she was unable to do so.

However, she could only keep her love to herself since she lacked the courage to act upon it—this was something

she regretted immensely.

Had she known that Dylan's legs could be healed, she would have willingly wed him while he was still crippled. She

believed he would not reject her, but she was worried that he would never be able to get up, and she would have to

spend the rest of her life with a crippled husband.

To put it simply, Laura's love for Dylan was superficial.

Just like Yasmine, she was only in love with Dylan's status and his attractive appearance.

Once he became crippled, their love was gone.

"When Master Dylan was at his weakest, Kendall took the opportunity to marry him, and she successfully won his

heart. Now, even the elders of his family have accepted her. Her status in the Coleman Family is extremely secure."

After saying all that, Laura felt more and more regretful.

She knew Master Dylan before Kendall.

But now, she could only watch while Kendall secured her position as the eldest mistress of the Coleman Family.

"That might not always be the case. If she can't give birth to a son or daughter in her lifetime, the elders of the

Coleman Family will never keep her around."

Laura was stunned for a while before asking, "Kelly, did they manage to heal Master Dylan's manhood as well?"

"How would I know? My legs go soft whenever I see him. This man is too terrifying. I have no idea where Kendall

gets the nerve to act so arrogantly in front of him. However, he only ended up like this after getting into the car

accident."

"Since his legs can be cured, his manhood might've been cured as well. If he has fully recovered, it would be in

Kendall's favor. If she bears a child for him, her status in the Coleman Family would be secured. In the future, we'd

have to be humble and show respect to her. A bumpkin like her doesn't deserve all of this!"

In her mind, Laura thought that Kelly's biological parents were the real bumpkins here.

Just as she was about to speak her mind, she quickly swallowed her words back.

She and Kelly were on the same side now, so she couldn't argue with her.

After the mix-up was revealed, Kelly didn't like her biological parents and always referred to herself as the young

lady of the Parker Family; her expression would immediately turn dark whenever somebody mentioned her

biological parents in front of her.

"What do you want me to do?" Laura asked calmly.

Since Kelly had said so much, she must have had something in mind.

"You're aware of what the aroma of musk does, right?"

Kelly spoke in a low tone and explained, "When young women are exposed to musk, it often leads to infertility. If

they come into contact with it during pregnancy, it will result in miscarriage."

Laura was speechless. "Is Kendall pregnant?"

Kendall's pregnancy meant that Master Dylan had been cured.

"No, but there's no assurance she won't become pregnant later. Since Master Dylan is deeply in love with her now,

he'd want to have kids with her. He will seek medical treatment everywhere, and once the problem is treated, they

will start a family."

"Kendall still has two sets of unfinished winter clothes, right? Stuff some musk into her clothes, and it will come in

handy during the winter."

Since winter clothing was made of sufficiently thick materials, it would be easy to conceal anything in it.

Laura was startled upon hearing this.

If she hid musk in Kendall's clothes, Kendall would be infertile. However, if she was pregnant, a miscarriage would

occur if she wore those clothes during the wintertime.

Assuming that Kendall was already pregnant now and the fetus would be completely developed by winter, a

miscarriage would be extremely harmful to her body if that happened. This meant that Kendall might no longer be

unable to bear children in the future due to one miscarriage.

For a moment, Laura wanted to agree to it and follow Kelly's instructions.

However, when she imagined Dylan's glacial eyes boring right into her, it sent chills all over her body.

Once she returned to her senses, she was already covered in sweat.

All of that only came from her imagination, yet she was frightened.

"Kelly, I won't do as you say, and I don't have the guts to do so either. Musk has a distinct color and smell. If Kendall

smells the musk in her clothes, would she still wear them? My years of hard work would be ruined once she

discovers something deliberately hidden inside her clothes."

Thanks to her sweat and tears throughout the years, Laura had earned her status and the approval of many

noblewomen. She wouldn't throw it all away just because she was jealous of Kendall.

She wanted her to live in misery and even die, but she wanted all of these under the condition that she would suffer

no consequences.

Thus, she was always behind Kelly, instructing and pushing her to deal with Kendall.

"Kelly, a customer just asked me to choose a dress for her. I'll be hanging up first." Without waiting for Kelly to

respond, she quickly hung up the phone.

She felt that Kelly's hatred toward Kendall was too deep.

When the call was over, Kelly swore quietly, "You're useless!"

If they wouldn't help her, she would find a way herself.

As long as her road to obtaining love was bumpy and she wasn't living contentedly, Kendall shouldn't too!

After some time, the swelling on Kelly's face subsided as she applied the ice pack, and she finally went downstairs.

She even brought a document with her.

She warmed up a glass of milk for Charlotte after going downstairs, then walked over with it.

"Mommy."

Kelly addressed Charlotte with a smile and handed the cup of milk to her, saying, "Mommy, I made you a cup of

warm milk."

"Okay. Just leave it there. I'll drink it later."

Kelly did as instructed.

She took another look at Charlotte and asked, "Mommy, how much did you win?"

Lady Luck was on Charlotte's side today. She had won quite a fair amount, so she responded happily, "Ah, not

much. I only won a few thousand."

The other ladies added, "You've won so much of our money, yet you're saying that you did not win much."

One of them said to Kelly, "Kelly, your mother has been blessed with good fortune today. She's so lucky that it

terrifies us. Why don't you sit down and play in her stead?"

Kelly quickly replied upon hearing that, "I have to go back to the company, so I won't be able to accompany you

guys today. Maybe next time."

"Don't pull Kelly into this just because you want your money back. Kelly, go deal with your business if you have

something to do. I'll be here winning several more grand."

Kelly grinned and said, "Okay, I'll head off to work first. Mommy, don't forget to drink your milk."

"I got it," Charlotte answered without even looking up.

Kelly spoke to the ladies for a brief while before leaving.

After she left, Charlotte took the glass of milk and wanted to drink it. However, she appeared to have thought of

something as she set the cup down and continued to play her cards.
