After Kelly was caught, the cops released a statement regarding her and Rosemi's involvement in the freak accident. Even though Kelly was in the hospital, she wasn't spared from the Internet's ire.
The Colemans saw the statement as well, and they weren't surprised in the least. The moment Kendall decided to work in Parker Corporation, they had a feeling Kelly would walk the path of crime just to get control over the company. Still, it was unbelievable she would go after her birth parents.
Truth be told, the Woodses weren't on her list. It only happened by chance that they were involved in the accident, but Kelly couldn't even prove that. The Parkers and Woodses were disappointed in her now.
The Colemans came to console Kendall the moment she came back. Even though she knew they loved her, their passionate concern still surprised her. She and Dylan didn't go back to work for a few days. They spent their days either lounging at home or visiting the Parkers.
Adam didn't go to work as well. After this incident, he seemed to age ten years overnight, much to Kendall's worry. She stayed with her parents every day. Until Kelly asked to see them one day.
Kelly lost her child. Since she woke up, she spent her days spacing out. In the first place, she never wanted the child. Back then, she and Jackson hadn't had the falling out, and she was worried her pregnancy might get in the way of her inheriting the company. Jackson kept begging her to give birth to the child. Every time he did, she would change her mind about getting an abortion, leading her to keep the child for months. Eventually, the baby started moving around in her belly.
She would rub her belly whenever she had time, and the baby would kick in response. The baby's movement filled her with delight, and she started feeling love for the baby, eagerly waiting for its arrival.
However, it was gone now.
After she lost the baby, Kelly cried for days. She had a feeling this was karma; she had lost her child because she had taken Krystal's baby from her. Krystal came to see her when she knew Kelly was in the hospital. Though, she wasn't there to ask how Kelly was doing. She went to curse her. To tell her that her sins came back to bite her.
If it weren't for the cops, Kelly was sure Krystal would have throttled her. Because of her miscarriage, Krystal would resume her sentence after her recovery period. As for Kelly, the erstwhile heir of the Parker Corporation, she would suffer a worse fate.
Adam didn't agree to the visit right away after the cops called him. As soon as he hung up, he asked Milo, "She wants to see us. Do you think we should accept it?"
Kelly was still in the hospital. Once she healed up, she would be slammed behind bars. She would have no right to see her family until her verdict was passed, so she wanted to see them before she was taken to prison. novelbin
Charlotte said coldly, "Why should we? I think she must be disappointed that we're alive."
Sally's face was pale, and Kendall nudged Charlotte. Noticing the look on Sally's face, Charlotte pursed her lips and kept quiet.
"I'd like to see her," said Sally softly.
The case affected her adversely. Over the last few days, Sally had been crying in secret. Her eyes
were always red and puffy, and she had dark circles under her eyes, as she had trouble falling asleep. Even though she had her two sons and Kendall with her, they couldn't heal the hurt Kelly gave her.
"She never saw you as her mother. Why do you want to see her? Just pretend we never had her. Kendall's our only daughter," snapped Milo. He had aged significantly since he found out what had happened. Life took its toll on him. Anyone would feel wrecked if they knew their own child was trying to kill them.
"I think you should go. I'll go with you," said Dylan calmly. Kendall was included in the list of people Kelly wanted to see.
A moment of musing later, Adam replied, "Fine. We'll see her." The next time we meet, she might be dead. That thought made his heart twinge in pain slightly.
No objections were raised, and they went to the hospital.
Kelly was on her bed. It had only been a few days, but she'd lost a lot of weight. She was spacing out, her hair unkempt. She only moved after the cop led her family in.
The cop stood at the doorway in case Kelly tried to escape with her family's help.
"Daddy, Mommy, you're here," she croaked. She wanted to smile, but it was an ugly smile. Kelly slid out of bed and approached her parents. Then, she went down on her knees.
Adam and the others took a few steps back, but none helped her up.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm sorry. I was tempted by my greed, which drove me to do something dreadful and irreversible. I won't ask for your forgiveness, and this is probably farewell. I'm sorry I failed you… I'm sorry." As she spoke, she started crying and sobbing.
Adam looked away, blinking his tears away furiously. Charlotte had already covered her mouth, letting tears stream down her cheeks and onto her hand.
"If there's a next life, I hope we'll be a real family." She banged her head against the ground three times
and looked at the Parker couple. Memories flooded her head, overwhelming her and engulfing her. Regret washed over her like a great wave swallowing up a soul.
"You idiot child!" Charlotte went down and smacked Kelly, crying. "We told you we'd be fair to you and Kendall, so why did you do this? Why did you hurt us? None of this would've happened if you'd just listened to us! If you hadn't tried to sabotage Kendall, you wouldn't have been arrested. We told you we'd split the inheritance fairly among you two when Kendall came back, but you let us down. Even so, we still decided to give you an inheritance worth over 15 million dollars! But you… you…"
Charlotte wailed, "I can't believe you did this! You went ahead and tried to kill us! I'll never forgive you, Kelly! Not in my life! Never!"
