"I will be happy, Nell. Dylan treats me very well, and I like him very much." Kendall brought up her husband with a genuine smile.
Nelson, who knew her very well, looked at her and understood everything. The loss in his heart deepened.
For some time, their brother-sister relationship had changed a little, so he stopped and didn't dare to develop it further. As long as she was happy, he would be her brother for life.
"When are you holding your wedding?" Nelson asked worriedly. "It's been so long since the two of you registered your marriage, and you're only telling us about it today. Mom must be having many thoughts now, one of which is thinking that you don't even care to notify us of your marriage."
"How is that possible? You will always be my family. When I hold the wedding, I will definitely invite you. You are part of my maiden family, after all—just like Mom and Dad."
Kendall continued to explain, "I haven't announced it to save some trouble. Dylan is great, and there are too many women who like him. He thinks that I am still weak, so if we announce our relationship right now, others would come for me. We want to wait until I'm stronger before we announce our relationship."
Nelson frowned. "If he can't even protect you, Kendall, you should leave him quickly. That way, you won't be torn into pieces by his admirers. It's scary when women become crazy. Although you are good at boxing and kung fu, you'll be alone and can't fight them all."
"Nell, if Dylan can't protect me, who can? It's exactly what I want as well, so don't blame Dylan for this.
When we were younger, didn't our father teach us that it's better to rely on ourselves? I need to be stronger. My world used to be simple in the past, but now, it's very colorful. I can't live in a simple world all my life, you know."
Nelson fixed his gaze on his sister.
He knew that she had confidence when she spoke in such high spirits, and he knew that it was love when he saw her defending Dylan with such anxiousness.
In the end, she was getting farther and farther away from him, and she was no longer the same as her brother.
"Nell, why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing Nelson looking at her like this, Kendall was a little puzzled.
Her brother's gaze was complicated with a hint of disappointment and sadness. He stretched out his hand and touched the top of her head lovingly, then moved his hand along her head and found her hairpin. When he took a closer look at it, he found that her hairpin had changed.
"Kendall, you have a new hairpin." Nelson then smiled and added, "It's very beautiful."
"It's beautiful, right? Dylan gave this to me. He gave me a lot of hairpins and told me to use whichever one I liked. He also gave me two Ragdoll cats and a pet dog. Nell, Dylan doesn't like furry animals, but because I like them, he gave them to me to keep me happy. In his residence, the yard used to be very bleak and empty, but now it's full of all kinds of flowers, and those flowers are so beautiful—it's all
because I like flowers. He had someone buy them for me. I'll bring you around for a tour next time when I have the chance."
Whenever Dylan was mentioned, Kendall beamed with happiness. However, her sweet words were like a sharp knife that stabbed Nelson's heart viciously and caused him unbelievable pain, but he couldn't reveal any of it because he was her big brother.
She was happy, and he should be happy for her.
He kept smiling all the time, watching her smile and saying how good Dylan was to her.
Kendall spoke until her throat was dry, so Nelson said dotingly, "We'll talk more later. Let's go back to the ward, and I'll pour you a glass of warm water."
Kendall stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
She had told him so much because she trusted him and wanted to reassure him that she was really happy to marry Dylan and was leading a very happy life.
Meanwhile, Nelson took Kendall's hand a little forcefully. In the future, he probably wouldn't be able to hold her hand anymore.
She used to be his sister in the past. Even if he hugged her, no one could say anything. Now, even if they were still siblings, they both knew that there was no blood relationship between them. Moreover, she was married to the most important man in Orapolis.
The domineering Dylan would not allow him to touch her again.
As they pushed open the door of the ward, Nelson and Kendall entered together. Sally was relieved to see them come in.
Kendall guessed that Dylan's aura was simply overpowering, which made Sally feel suppressed and overwhelmed.
Even her own mother would feel this way when facing Dylan.
When the man saw that Nelson had just pulled Kendall in, his eyes glued to their intertwined hands until Kendall broke free and walked toward him. Only then did he withdraw his gaze.
"Kendall, it's getting late. You and Dylan haven't eaten yet. You should go back and get some food. I can get out of bed and walk around now, so I'm fine," Sally urged Kendall to leave.
The woman looked at the sky outside and realized it was still very early. During the summer, the days were long, and the nights were short. Only at 7.30PM would the sky be completely dark.
"Mom, I want to stay with you longer."
"I don't need you to stay."
Kendall replied, “Mom, do you not like me anymore? I just came here, yet you're driving me away."
Sally laughed and said, "I raised you, so how could I not like you? I'm worried that you'd be hungry
after being busy for a whole day. Since you haven't eaten yet, you're probably starving. Go back and eat, alright?"
Nelson poured a glass of warm water and came over, then handed the glass to Kendall. He said with a smile, "Kendall, you should listen to her. Otherwise, we won't be able to finish our food until tomorrow."
Kendall was speechless.
After drinking the glass of water, she said helplessly, "Mom, are you going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow or the day after?"
"Tomorrow. I don't want to stay here anymore. After being discharged from the hospital, I will go back home to rest for a while, and I will be fine by then."
Sally came to the city this time because she missed her biological daughter. Now, she had met her and spent some time together for a few days. Although she was still unhappy, her wish had been fulfilled, and she did not want to stay here any longer.
"In that case, I'll go on leave tomorrow to pick you up from the hospital. Mom, do you want me to invite Kelly over too?"
Clearly, Kelly would not take the initiative to come over.
After being silent for a while, Sally said, "She's busy with work, so forget it. Kendall, if you're busy, you don't have to come here. Nelson will be here anyway."
Dylan interjected, "Has the compensation been settled?"
"It's all been dealt with, and the compensation has been settled."
It was Nelson who answered.
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for a car to come over. Nelson, after you help Mother to complete the discharge procedures, you guys can ride that car home. That way, Kendall and I would feel more at ease."
Just as Nelson wanted to refuse, Sally hurriedly agreed to the suggestion. "Thank you, Dylan. You are a caring man."
Dylan nodded slightly. After Sally's continuous attempts to persuade them, Kendall reluctantly walked out of the ward with her husband.
After the couple left, Nelson said to his mother, "Mom, we can go back by ourselves or take a taxi home. We don't have to trouble Dylan."
