Chapter 196
At Orapolis General Hospital, Sally was already getting out of bed and moving around.
Every day, her favorite thing to do was to go to the balcony and look down; that way, she could see the parking lot at the entrance of the inpatient department.
At that moment, Nelson pushed the door open and came in. He was carrying a bag in his hand which contained his mother's packed dinner.
When he saw her still standing on the balcony and looking down, he put the packed dinner on the bedside counter and said, "Mom, stop looking. Your biological daughter won't be coming."
He had heard Kendall say that Kelly only visited upon Mrs. Parker's request. Kelly had to behave well in front of her adoptive mother, and that was the only reason she came to accompany Sally for a few days.
Although they knew the truth, both Nelson and Kendall did not tell their mother since they didn't want to hurt her.
In any case, Sally was very happy that Kelly was willing to come and spend a few days with her.
"I know that Kelly is very busy and doesn't have time to come here. I'm not looking forward to her visit. I'm just bored, so I want to count how many cars can be parked in the parking lot here."
Nelson went over. "Mom, let's go in to eat. The hospital is big, and the parking lot is not only at the entrance. Even if you keep staring like this, you might not be able to see her coming."
Sally turned her eyes away, let her son help her back to the ward, and said again, "I can be discharged from the hospital soon. Kendall said that she would come to pick me up from the hospital. I've thought about it, and I think I should tell her not to come. After all, we don't want her mother to feel unhappy when she finds out."
"Kendall will take care of that, but she's been very busy too. When I chat with her on social media from time to time, she only responds to my messages late at night instead of immediately."
Nelson was used to getting along with Kendall, whom he had grown up with. As for Kelly, he couldn't seem to gel well with his biological sister because she was aloof and looked down on them, which made him unable to accept her.
"In that case, you should stop sending messages and disturbing her. If we can't help Kendall, we shouldn't be dragging her down."
After Nelson was silent for a moment, he said, "I got it, Mom."
He didn't want to bother Kendall all the time either, but it had become his habit. They used to see each other every day, and they used to frequently text each other.
Now that they couldn't meet every day, how could he not send messages to Kendall?
"Mom, you should drink this."
Nelson opened the bag, handed the packaged bowl of soup to his mother, and said, "Here, have some chicken noodle soup."
Sally took it. When she saw that there wasn't any for her son, she asked, "Did you just pack one bowl of soup?"
"I'm strong, so I don't need to drink this, Mom."
"You take care of me every day. You barely get any rest, so you should have some as well."
Sally took a disposable cup, washed it, poured the soup inside, and put it in front of her son, saying, "Drink this. If you don't drink it, I won't either."
"Okay, I'll have some of it."
Nelson reluctantly accepted his mother's loving gesture.
The mother and son were eating when there was a knock on the door. Sally wanted to get it, but Nelson quickly said, "Sit down, Mom. I'll open the door."
He put down the bowl and got up immediately.
"Nell."
As soon as he opened the door and saw Kendall's familiar face, Nelson's smile widened while his gaze softened. However, the smile on his face stiffened a little when he saw Dylan next to her. He was about to ask Kendall when she pushed Dylan into the ward first.
As for Ronnie, he sent the supplements that had been prepared long ago into the ward.
"Mom," Kendall called out to Sally sweetly.
Sally hurriedly put down her bowl and greeted Kendall with a smile, saying, "Have you eaten, Kendall? If you haven't, ask your brother to go out and pack some food."
"That won't be necessary, Mom. We'll eat later when we get home."
If she came alone, she would definitely be willing to accompany her adoptive mother for lunch, but since Dylan was also here, she did not dare to have him eat with her family.
Sally looked at Dylan. This man was so handsome, and Kendall looked good as she stood beside him. However, he was wheelchair-bound.
"Hi, Mother."
Dylan did not speak until the mother and daughter had finished chatting. His voice was low, but it sounded pleasant.
Sally was overwhelmed by what he addressed her and looked at Kendall quickly.
Nelson was also shocked, and his face changed as he quickly returned to his mother's side so that he could face Kendall and also have a good look at this man who suddenly called his mother as his own.
"You…"
Sally didn't know what to say.
Before coming in, Kendall had promised Dylan that she would let him explain his identity by himself, so the former kept quiet.
"Mother, I'm Kendall's husband. My surname is Coleman, and my name is Dylan. I'm thirty-one years old this year. I'm the eldest at home and a current employee at Coleman Empire Holdings.”
Kendall snorted in her heart.
Is he an employee? Is there such a high-level employee as him?
After giving it some thought, he made sense.
Although Dylan was at the helm of the Coleman Family and held the highest position in the Coleman Empire Holdings, he was only in charge of the family business; it was not his personal enterprise. Therefore, he was indeed an employee working for the Coleman Family. Nonetheless, he was many times superior to the other employees.
Dylan only said he was an employee because he didn't want to put too much pressure on Sally.
The woman was always cautious in front of him and didn't even dare to say any presumptuous words, let alone put on the airs of a mother-in-law.
Since Kendall cared about the Woods Family very much, Dylan hoped that he could be accepted by the family and assimilate into their life without considering their difference in terms of social class.
"Dylan Coleman? The Master Dylan?"
Nelson murmured at first, but he raised his volume following that, clearly shocked.
He looked at Kendall. When he noticed the woman had no intention of elaborating any further, he stepped forward, grabbed her, then said to Dylan, "I'm sorry, Master Dylan, but I'd like to have a few words with Kendall alone."
Without waiting for Dylan to answer, he pulled Kendall out. Meanwhile, Sally noticed Dylan glancing coldly at her son's hand that was holding his sister.
She only felt frightened, for they had heard about Dylan's great achievements even in the countryside.
Such a god-like person had actually become Kendall's husband.
His gaze is so scary!
After remembering that Kendall and her son were siblings in name with no actual blood relations, Sally went pale.
"M-Master Dylan, u-uh... do you want to drink some water?"
Sally wanted to ask Dylan to sit down, but Dylan was in a wheelchair, so she changed her mind and asked him if he wanted something to drink.
"I'm not thirsty, but thank you for offering, Mom."
Dylan glanced at her unfinished lunch. Sally said embarrassedly, "We were just eating."
She didn't dare invite Dylan to eat with her. This was the Master Dylan, so how could she invite him to have a packaged meal?
