Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 669 The Dust Finally Settles

In the end, Kelly couldn't hold her pain in. "My stomach hurts. I'm pregnant."

Before they came to arrest her, the cops were informed that she was pregnant. So, they quickly took her to the

hospital upon hearing her say her stomach hurt.

"Tell my folks, please. Tell them to go to the hospital," she pleaded.

The pain on her face seemed genuine, so Langley agreed to it and called Adam. When Kelly was taken to the

hospital, the Parkers came, along with Sally and Nelson.

By then, Kelly was already bleeding and was taken into the emergency room right away. Nobody managed to see

her, so they waited for the news. Everyone sat right outside the emergency room's entrance, conflicted gazes filling

their eyes. Kendall was the only one standing, keeping some distance from everyone.

Eventually, someone came out of the emergency room, but nobody moved. The cops looked at them.

In the end, Kendall went ahead. "How is she, doctor?"

"She lost the child, so we performed a dilation and curettage on her."

Kendall froze before asking, "But her baby was already moving. How did this happen? She wasn't hurt."

"She was in a state of high anxiety and neglected the baby. It died from the lack of oxygen. If she had come to the

hospital right after she noticed the changes in her fetus, we could've saved it."

A moment of silence later, Kendall said thank you to the doctor.

"The patient is agitated. She is unconscious at the moment, but she will most certainly stir up a storm once she

wakes up. You should console her. She's still young. Once she heals up, she can have more children." Noticing the

cops around, the doctor stopped talking.

Kendall thanked the doctor again. The baby she met in her past life did come back to Kelly, but he chose to leave

halfway through. It was perhaps for the best. If he were born to a pair of criminals, his life would be filled with

hardships. She prayed for the unborn child, hoping he could be born into a good family.

Kendall didn't wait for Kelly to wake up, and her parents didn't want her to stay either. They called Dylan to pick her

up. That night, the couple sat on the swing in the backyard. Kendall leaned on Dylan's chest, staring at the moon in

the heavens. "I had my revenge, but I gained no satisfaction."

Dylan thought she was immersed in her dream again, so he let her talk.

"I don't regret what I did, though. I did what I had to so that I could protect the ones I loved and myself. Whatever

befell her today, she only has herself to blame."

Dylan kissed her cheek and said gently, "Indeed. It's not your fault. She chose this path, so she can't blame anyone

else. You just did what you had to. Showing mercy to your enemies is an act of cruelty toward yourself." He thought

Kendall should've gone harder. Kelly only found herself at a dead end because of his interference.

"That child is innocent… But it's a good thing he wasn't born." She sighed and touched her belly. "I still feel for the

baby, though."

"Well, you said it's for the best that he wasn't born. So, don't think about it too much. And don't go to work for a

while. Rest up. I'll handle everything else."

Kendall nodded and wrapped her arms around his waist. Now that Kelly had been arrested, Kendall's vengeance

finally came to an end. In her past life, she couldn't bring Kelly and Jackson to face the music. She didn't do it either

in this life, but she was indirectly involved, so it was considered revenge as well.

"I'm not going to work tomorrow. They can handle things for me. I'll stay with you and prepare for the wedding."

"Thank you, hubby."

Dylan pinched her cheek. "I don't like that. It's too formal."

Kendall smiled. "It's called decorum."

He leaned down. Before he pressed his lips against hers, he lovingly said, "You've tossed decorum out the window

when you married me, and I prefer the wilder you. The real you." Before she could say anything, he kissed her on

the lips. His love for her would not change, no matter what kind of woman she was. He would continue to love her

until death did them part.

Despite finally having her vengeance, she had a fitful sleep that night. She kept dreaming about her life before the

rebirth. All the agony, despair, and regret made her cry. However, as she cried, she thought she heard her baby

calling out Mommy ever so sweetly.

My baby. Kendall looked in the direction of the voice and saw her baby waving at her not far away, calling her

Mommy. Her baby had died at seven months, so she shouldn't be able to walk. However, Kendall had a feeling that

the girl waving at her was her baby. The girl was calling her Mommy. Happily, Kendall ran up to the girl and pulled

her into her embrace. Then, she held her up in the air. "I can finally see you again, my baby."

"Mommy…"

"Baby…" Kendall held her daughter and kept kissing her cheek.

…

Dylan was awake the whole time, and he looked at his wife, who was holding his head in a vice grip and wouldn't

stop kissing him. Should I wake her up? Kendall was calling out to their baby. Even though it was their daughter,

Dylan couldn't help but feel jealous, so he soon made up his mind. I'm waking her up. He patted her cheek softly.

"Kendall? Kendall."

Kendall woke up. When she saw that it was him, she sat up and checked all over the bed. "Where's the baby? I

thought she had come back. She was calling me Mommy. She was walking, too."

The man chuckled. "She did come back, but she's still in your belly. What you saw just now was just a dream."

A dream? But she felt so real. I swore her cheeks felt real. "But—"

Dylan held her hand and put it against his face.

Kendall pulled it back quickly. "Why is your face wet?"

"Well, you were kissing me like mad. You were holding my face and calling me baby nonstop. You wouldn't stop

kissing me. I know she's our kid, but I'd get jealous if you mistook me for her."

Oh, no wonder the kisses felt real. I was kissing him all along.
