Having arrived at the hospital, Kendall saw her man waiting for her at the entrance of the inpatient department.
When passersby walked past Dylan, they would subconsciously take a few more glances at him, especially the young ladies who would have their gazes stuck on him. That man is so hot!
Kendall then thought that if it weren't for Dylan's overwhelming aura and his dull face—let alone the fact that there were about eight bodyguards by his side—every woman in the world would have stormed over to flirt with him.
That was her man, and such recognition certainly gladdened her.
"Dylan." Kendall trotted forward.
Dylan, too, walked a few steps forward, and when Kendall got close to him, he pulled out a sheet of paper towel and said, "It's a hot day. You shouldn't run fast. Look at you. There's sweat all over your forehead." As he spoke, he gently wiped her sweat off.
After indulging in the stunning man's warmth, Kendall joined in on his entry and asked, "Why are you here, though?"
"Nell is getting discharged today, so it's only right that I come to see him. Plus, I'm worried about you being alone."
In response, Kendall laughingly replied, "What's there to worry about? Roger and my parents are all here. Nell has been recovering perfectly. Once he's discharged, all he'll need to do is rest."
Somehow, it felt as though her adoptive mother and her brother tended to bump into troubles ever since she regressed. Perhaps it was because she altered the outcomes of many incidents. Since everything came with both good and bad, so did her regression.
All of a sudden, she felt sorry for her family.
"Is Roger sending your parents home? I have an RV ready. Perhaps your parents and Nell can take it home. I reckon it's more comfortable that way. As for Roger, I doubt that he'd want to return so soon."
After all, Roger had just begun his passionate pursuit of Emma, so he wouldn't be willing to return home just yet.
"Sure. I'll tell Roger afterward."
Dylan then added, "Kendall, let's buy a house for your parents."
As a matter of fact, Dylan had been carrying the idea to do so, but sadly, he had to give them up since the Woodses were against such a giveaway.
Even Nell and Roger objected to his gifting of a house as they were intent on purchasing one in the city with their own abilities. Besides, they had been saving some money, so acquiring an apartment unit wouldn't be a problem for them.
Had Kendall not been married to the Coleman Family, Nell would have bought a house, but after finding out that Kendall had become the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family, he changed his mind
and decided to save more to purchase a villa. Even living in a townhouse would feel more glorious than living in an apartment, as they wouldn't be embarrassing Kendall.
At the end of the day, they were still her family, and if her family appeared to be poor, she would definitely be ridiculed. Whatever the Woodses did, they would always put her first.
"They will not accept it. I once said that I wished to buy them a house, but they simply shot me down." Kendall seemed helpless. "Without their cooperation, I won't be able to make them the owners of the house despite having bought it."
When she first returned to her biological parents, her biological mother had given her some spending money, but she was reluctant to use it as she was always thinking to keep it to buy a house for her adoptive parents. However, her adoptive parents wouldn't cooperate with the procedures. Hence, she was deemed helpless.
Hearing that, Dylan remained wordless.
Kendall bore deep intimacy for the Woodses. Since she was capable of acquiring a house for her adoptive parents, she would have done so had they been willing to accept it; since they were opposed to the idea, Kendall, as the daughter, had no choice but to comply. Although the Woodses weren't as rich as the Colemans, they were a determined family that would never hold anyone back.
The couple then continued walking as they chatted. As they were conversing, Kendall brought up her biological mother and smilingly said, "My mother said that since we're at the hospital, I should go get checked and see if there's good news. It's hardly been days. The doctors won't be able to find anything, right?"
Dylan's eyes glistened as he was eager to test that out. "Wouldn't hurt giving it a test. Why don't you go get checked? Who knows, we might receive some good news."
After checking the time, Kendall grew excited as well. It was one week until her old friends would soon pay her a visit. A pregnancy test strip might show a faint sign!
"Sure! I'll visit the gynecologist later and see if I'm pregnant. It'll be quick."
Dylan nodded in response, and he was rather nervous.
To be honest, Kendall was also nervous, and she was more nervous than Dylan. In her previous life, she had been pregnant for months at this time.
Carrying such a thought, the couple entered Nell's ward and found that he had already packed his things. All there was left to complete was the discharge procedure and he would be free to go.
"Master Dylan, Kendall, didn't I tell you not to come? You're both busy people!" Nell spoke to his sister and his brother-in-law. Now, he was no longer as afraid of Dylan as he was before, and he had made it clear to Dylan that he would remain Kendall's brother for the rest of his life.
"You're getting discharged. There's no way I'd miss that!" Kendall took the bouquet from Ronnie and handed it to her brother. "Nell, from now on, you must always stay healthy and happy and as cheerful as the prettiest flower!"
Receiving the bouquet, Nell smilingly replied, "Thank you. As you wish, I shall stay in the pink of health and as cheerful as the prettiest flower!"
Everyone chortled at once.
Sally and Milo then caught up with Kendall out of their concern and were only relieved after being informed that she had been living well.
"Nell, my mother had me bring this over for you. She wants you to focus on resting and worry about nothing else. Tell me if you need anything and I'll get them for you." Kendall handed the credit card her mother had her bring over to Nell.
As soon as the card reached Nell's hand, he swiftly shoved it back to Kendall and rejected it. "I have enough money. The Whittles paid me a good sum of recovery fee." Apparently, his medication fees were afforded by the Whittles and the Caddels.
"Nell, my mother gave this to you. Just accept it, please? She also said that she did some awful things in the past and she is ashamed of them. And your refusal to accept the card must mean that you're still holding a grudge against her. Nell, please take it, will you?" Kendall persistently shoved the credit card back to her brother.
Since Kendall had described it that way, Nell refrained from resisting any further and decided to accept it for the time being, so that he could pay Charlotte back in the future.
While waiting for Nell to tend to his discharge procedure, Kendall whispered to Sally, after which the latter immediately grew gleeful as she urged her adoptive daughter. "You better hurry, then! I expect to receive some good news before I leave!"
"Mom…" Kendall slightly blushed.
With a beaming smile, Sally pushed her out of the ward, and naturally, Dylan followed after.
After a short while, Sally returned to the ward, only to see her husband and eldest son peering at her.
"What was that, Mom? What were you whispering about with Kendall? Where's she going? Master Dylan seemed somewhat nervous and uneasy. Is something the matter?"
Grinning, Sally answered, "There's no matter. Even if there is, it's going to be a good one. But since there's no conclusion yet, I'll refrain from talking about it. Once there's a concrete answer, I'll let you in on the joy." Having said that, she clenched her fists together and prayed, muttering something indistinct to herself.
As her muttering was inaudible, the suspicion in Roger's and Milo's hearts deepened.
