Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 69

Kendall involuntarily trembled when she suddenly remembered Dylan, who was still angry at her. She figured it might be better for her to not agitate Frank in any way.

All she wanted after she had been reborn was to ride on Dylan's coattails, and with his support, become stronger herself before she could slowly exact her revenge on Jackson and Kelly. She wanted the duo to lose their standing and reputation and end up with nothing by the time she was done.

As for the other people who she didn't have anything to do with, Frank for example, it would be better for her to stay away as far as she possibly could.

Suddenly, a bright knock could be heard coming from the door.

"Come in," Frank announced.

His bodyguard proceeded to open the door without stepping in, and respectfully announced, "Master, Dr. Yellow is here."

"Have her come in."

Hearing that, the bodyguard stood sideways as Dr. Yellow, who was dressed in casual clothes, entered.

She was a gentle-looking woman in her forties who seemed like a nice person to get along with.

"President Mendelson," she greeted politely when she came in.

Frank gave a light nod. "Please give her a check."

"Alright."

He made his way out of the room and closed the door behind him to give the women their privacy after that.

Dr. Yellow finally came out again after ten minutes.

Frank didn't say anything, but he kept looking at her with his lips pursed.

"President Mendelson, that lady is still untouched."

With just one sentence, the doctor had proven that Kendall had never been pregnant with a child.

His expression immediately fell when he heard that. Could there really be something wrong with him mentally to assume she had his child?

Frank waved his hand to motion for his bodyguards to bring the doctor out of the Mendelson Hotel through a secret passage, so that no one knew she had been here.

Kendall then came out of the room and asked with a calm, collected tone, "The doctor you have brought here has proven my innocence, President Mendelson. Can I leave now?"

"I have inconvenienced you, Ms. Parker," he apologetically muttered. "I apologize for this whole

ordeal."

He might be a stubborn, bossy man, but he still had his manners.

She would probably have changed her opinion regarding him if only he wasn't the baby's birth father.

"I hope you do as you say, President Mendelson."

Kendall didn't want him to disturb her anymore. He was the one who took her innocence in the past life and yet, he had allowed her to marry Jackson. He didn't even show much of a reaction when they coincidentally met during the banquet.

It was most likely like what he said about him having a head surgery before, which must have been the reason why he had lost certain memories.

Her baby was dead. That sweet child would probably not be reborn as her child again in this life.

Their fate as mother and daughter had been short-lived.

Despite that, Kendall didn't want to hold any grudges against Frank. Since nothing had happened between her and him in this life, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

He soon had one of his men lead her to the secret passage to leave the hotel.

After this entire commotion, she decided not to go to the hospital anymore. Instead, she stopped a taxi and had the driver bring her to Parker Corporation.

As the biological daughter of the Parkers, neither the security personnel nor the front desk stopped her as she went into the company and directly headed upstairs to her father's office.

Adam was just about to leave to meet a client when his secretary notified him via internal call that Kendall was here. And so, he stayed in his office and waited for her to arrive.

She soon knocked on the door to make her arrival known and as soon as she saw Adam, she smiled sweetly and greeted, "Daddy!"

Hearing that lovely voice of hers swiftly brought a similar smile onto his face.

"What are you doing here?" he asked lovingly. "Did you come here by yourself? You didn't head home to Mommy?"

Kendall waddled to him before she wrapped her hands around her father's arm. "Do you not want to see me?" she grumbled playfully. "I don't care. I want you to see me everyday, Daddy."

When he heard that, he gently tapped her on her straight nose and cooed, "Oh—I love seeing you so much! How can I ever not want to see you?"

"That is much better," she replied and only released Adam's arm after rubbing against it.

Not one to act all chummy, Kendall couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she finally did it. She was glad that there wasn't a third person in the office with them to witness her being so dramatically affectionate with her father.

Then, Adam told her to sit down and when she did, he asked her, "Do you want something to drink?"

"I am not thirsty, Daddy. I will get myself water if I want to."

Not wanting to be overly courteous with his own daughter, he brought up something else to talk about.

"I wanted you to ask for Master Dylan's permission, yes? How was it? Did he agree to let you come work at the Parker Corporation?"

"He did. I can start working anytime now." Kendall smiled.

"Really?"

"I am not brave enough to joke about Dylan, Daddy. I wouldn't have come to tell you if he didn't agree to it."

Dylan was way too petty for this. Come to think of it, he was still angry at her. She had tried sending him messages and calling him earlier, but he continued to ignore all her attempts to contact him.

Adam thought about it, and he did think that his daughter would never have the guts to go against Dylan's words. "Since Master Dylan has given his permission, you can start coming to work next Monday. You must learn as much as you can with me as your mentor. You are my only biological child, so the Parker Corporation will naturally go to you someday. Don't let me down, Kendall."

Their fate as mother and daughter had been short-lived.

"Thank you, Daddy. I will work hard."

Adam nodded, feeling relieved. Having a son-in-law like Dylan gave him faith that his daughter would mature quickly. "Kendall, have you and Master Dylan—"

Her cheeks immediately flushed red, and she cut him off bashfully, "Daddy!"

"I am your biological father, Kendall. I worry about you."

Not only Kendall, even Adam felt embarrassed asking something like this.

"Daddy, I am married to him after all. I won't regret it, no matter how he is. As long as he doesn't leave me and I don't give up on our marriage, I am going to be with him for life."

Adam stayed quiet after hearing that. It seemed like the rumor about Dylan being impotent was true.

He might be overjoyed to have an in-law like Dylan, but as a father, it hurt him immensely to think that his daughter would have to live her life like she was an unmarried woman.

"Daddy?" Kendall called out hesitantly.

He looked at her, indicating to her to say anything she wanted to.

"Uh… Daddy, what kind of presents do men like receiving?"

It was his turn to pause this time. "Are you getting one for Master Dylan?"

She hummed in response.

"Everyone has their own preferences. I like collecting antiques, but that won't necessarily be something Master Dylan enjoys. I haven't caught wind of him liking anything either. Why don't you try giving him a necktie?"

Dylan's preferences were a well-kept secret. There was no way anyone would hear about it if he didn't want the public to know.

Normal people couldn't even get close to the man.

Once they did, his bodyguards would immediately ready themselves to fight. Their stance alone was enough to make everyone back away. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Adam then added, "Or you could give him an expensive watch. Master Dylan is a man of importance. You can't just buy him anything as you please. Do you have enough money, Kendall? I can transfer you some into your bank account if you are short on money. Get a proper gift for Master Dylan. Oh—you have to go to the Zorn Mansion with your sister the night after tomorrow for a banquet. Have you prepared a present for Miss Zorn?"

Unbeknownst to Adam, Kendall hadn't even thought about what she should get for Yasmine.

She remembered how much sincerity she had put into getting Yasmine a birthday present in her previous life, only for the birthday girl to look at it with disdain before turning around and passing it to a servant.

Now that she was given a second chance at life, she wouldn't put any effort into preparing a present for Yasmine.

And so, Kendall proceeded to pick a set of unopened skincare products from her mountain of skincare products and made it the birthday present. After all, Yasmine would give Kendall the cold shoulder no matter what the latter gave.
