Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120

"Please bring me outside for a stroll, Ms. Parker. It's my first time visiting the Parkers, so I'm going to take a good look around," Frank requested.

Kendall then approached him from behind while the Mendelsons' bodyguard moved aside for her to step in. With worry flooding in, Mr. and Mrs. Parker exchanged nervous glances.

The Parkers' villa might not have been as large as the Colemans or Frank's place, but they found themselves a quiet garden that was perfect for whisper talk. "President Mendelson, please let me know your intention," she said gently as they came to a halt under a large tree.

He raised his head to look at her while his handsome face was showcased. However, Kendall was not swooned by his beauty as she was already used to seeing Dylan's handsomeness. Still, when she met Frank's almond eyes, she chided him internally, How are ladies supposed to live in peace with such a good-looking man on earth?

"Well, it was you who stepped on me, Ms. Parker, so naturally, you would have to take responsibility. It gives me the impression that you don't want anything to do with me, judging from the way you asked."

A speechless Kendall finally found her voice. "I can have someone else to look after you."

"You should be held accountable for what you did. You're the one who injured me, so you must take care of me; I won't accept anyone else."

"President Mendelson, you promised that we won't have anything to do with each other."

"I've never approached you on purpose, Ms. Parker." Kendall was rendered dumbfounded by this statement.

After a moment of thought, she insisted, "It's incredibly inconvenient for me to take care of you. Please allow me to compensate you in another way."

Without a beat, he responded with a smirk, "Ms. Parker, your comprehension skills are lacking. I'm quite concerned."

Kendall nearly went insane. Frank is even harder to deal with than Dylan!

"Are you afraid of Dylan's opinion?"

"This has absolutely nothing to do with him. Please don't drag him into this." She flatly denied knowing that both of them were the most bitter enemies.

"You're truly protective of him, Ms. Parker. Is there something I missed?"

Kendall tried her best to remain cool so that Frank would not see right through her. She was not going to fall for his ruse any longer. "You're overthinking it, President Mendelson. I'm only here to make atonement. It would be ridiculous of me to get Dylan involved."

When he heard her response, he chuckled and looked away from her. "This tree grows wonderfully with lush foliage," he added while looking up.

Kendall remained silent.

"I have continuously done examinations and consulted experts in this field; they all said the same thing, which is that there wouldn't be any sequela or short-term amnesia. However, I still have this dream that haunts me endlessly; the dream where you were in it and I was touching your tummy… This is not normal."

"Since you've had multiple check-ups and consultations, I believe what the professionals are saying. You probably would not suffer any form of amnesia, President Mendelson, and it is most likely all a dream. Everything remains as it is when you wake up and nothing changes."

"This is not normal at all. I'm just curious whether this is a dream or reality. If it's a dream, why am I having the same dream over and over again? What does it imply?" Frank murmured.

Once again, Kendall remained silent. In actuality, she did not even tell Dylan, let alone confessing to Frank about her rebirth as she did not want anything to do with him. However, fate had always led them to each other as if it were going against Kendall for fun.

"Ms. Parker, please assist me inside." In an instant, he hid his perplexity under an indifferent expression. She then brought him into the villa as he wished.

Everyone in the villa was anticipating their return. When Adam and Charlotte saw them entering, they both stared at Kendall and wondered whether she had agreed to Frank's request.

"President Mendelson," Adam greeted with a smile.

Frank nodded and responded, "The Mendelsons would like to cooperate with the Parkers. What are your thoughts on this, President Parker?"

He glanced at Kendall when he asked Adam the question. When Adam noticed Frank staring at his daughter, he understood precisely what it meant. "It's an honor for us to work with the Mendelsons. When I return to the office tomorrow, I will personally go over to discuss our cooperation, President Mendelson."

"Let's go," Frank said to his bodyguard after another nod. The bodyguard then rushed up to him and pushed his wheelchair. When Frank was already a few meters away, he turned to face Kendall and said, "Ms. Parker, I still reserve the right to hold you accountable." After saying so, he let the bodyguard assist him into the distance without looking back.

The Parker Family sent him off; however, it was not until Frank's car had left that Adam finally breathed a sigh of relief. Adam cocked his head and asked his daughter, "What did you say to President Mendelson? He no longer requests that you look after him in person, right?"

"He didn't insist on it." She had no idea what made him change his mind.

"That's good, then. Frank and Dylan are sworn enemies. If you were to take care of Frank, that would be a total humiliation to Dylan; it would be hard to explain to him as well. If Frank ever knows about your relationship with Dylan, he will definitely use it to attack Dylan. Kendall, you must stay away from Frank starting today; this man is not someone we can provoke," Adam reminded his daughter.

He was afraid that Frank would make use of Kendall to attack Dylan if Frank knew of their secret relationship.

"I understand, Dad. I don’t want to provoke President Mendelson either, but there are always coincidences."

Kendall suspected that Frank did it on purpose, but she could not find any evidence to prove her assumption. It was mainly because their encounters were always coincidental and Frank not showing any interest to her. For instance, when the Zorn Family assisted her in requesting Brian's apology, Frank did not even glance at her.

As for Yasmine, he had always shown respect to her in public without deliberately favoring her. According to my sharp inspections, I guess he really didn’t mean to be around me.

"Do you really want us to cooperate with the Mendelsons, Dad?"

"President Mendelson is using you to threaten me, so I need to think about it carefully."

After Adam finished speaking, he comforted his wife and daughter while adding, "You don’t need to be concerned, my darlings. I can handle things well and if I can't refuse his request, let's just cooperate with him. It’s all thanks to you for marrying Dylan, which makes the Mendelson Family want to cooperate with us. This also means that they look up to us, the Parkers, and it's exactly what we are wishing for." Adam was Dylan's father in-law after all, therefore, he had to take Dylan into consideration when making decisions.

"I'm sorry for my actions, Dad," Kendall admitted guiltily.

Prior to marrying Dylan on her own, she did not even inform her parents about it. Dylan was an extremely efficient person; as soon as he agreed to marry her, he went to the Bureau of Civil Affairs immediately to register their marriage, giving her no chance to regret it.

Of course, she would not regret her decision about this.

In response, Adam sighed and explained, "Although you didn’t grow up with us, after being here for over a year, I know that you're a sensible child who won't do things mindlessly. Your mother claims that you're having a nightmare, but I don't care how true that is, as long as you walk proudly along the path you've chosen for yourself." He continued, "You have an entire life ahead of you and it will be full of ups and downs. We won't be able to be there for you at all times, therefore, you must rely on yourself. I only hope that whatever you do, it's always stemmed from the goodness in you and that you'd leave no regrets in this world."
