Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) novel Chapter 444

Kendall's appearance had led to Dylan's condition improving, but Tilly wanted to chase her out now. It was the act of someone who showed no gratitude at all.

However, this person was their grandmother.

Although Tilly's grandsons weren't pleased with it, none of them could voice it.

"Dad, you don't need to try and convince Grandma. She doesn't like Kendall and is determined to chase her away. Even if Kendall came back, she would continue to pick on Kendall." Dylan's voice was hoarse

With a defeated tone, he continued, "Kendall has parents who love her and dote on her, too. Her parents would be just as furious and heartbroken to see Grandma treating Kendall like that and making Kendall suffer through all sorts of baseless accusations. How can I… allow her to continue getting hurt like that? Grandma is hell-bent on separating Kendall and me, so let her have her way."

Dylan gestured for Amos to wheel him away.

Fergus had more to say, but when he saw how despondent Dylan looked as Amos pushed his wheelchair away, all the words died on his tongue. He couldn't say anything.

No one else knew what to say, either.

The conflict was between the two people who had the most say in the family.

Even though some of them were Dylan's uncles, it wasn't their place to try and advise Dylan or tell him off.

They were certainly not in a position to say anything to Tilly.

Fergus went back into Tilly's room.

She was slowly regaining consciousness.

Looking around the room, she saw her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and even her good friend, Mary, and Mary's granddaughter, Jane.

The only one she didn't see was her most beloved grandson, Dylan.

"Mom, you're awake!"

"How are you feeling, Mom?"

"Grandma, do you still feel uncomfortable in any way?"

Everyone came nearer and asked Tilly how she was doing out of concern.

Tilly tried to sit up.

"Mom, you need to lie down. Dr. Gill said that you need to rest."

Fergus pressed Tilly down to stop her from getting up.

Tilly pushed his hand away and stubbornly sat up anyway. "I'm not so weak that I can't even sit up yet. Where's Dylan?"

The others exchanged looks.

Tilly snorted. "What now? What are you trying to hide from me? You're all here, and he's the only one missing. Did he seize his chance while I was unconscious to run off to the Parkers and look for Kendall?"

"Mom, Dylan didn't go to the Parkers. He waited along with the rest of us and only left when Dr. Gill said you were fine," Fergus defended Dylan.

Tilly's heart started aching when she recalled what had happened before she fainted out of anger.

She leaned against the headboard as her expression softened. Her heart was aching as she said softly, "Dylan must resent me right now. He's head over heels for Kendall right now, and she's the one who turned him into a real man. I can understand why he's infatuated with her. Did… Did I really make a mistake?"

No one dared to respond to that, not even Fergus.

Even though they thought that Tilly was indeed the one in the wrong, she was the family matriarch, and even Fergus didn't have the guts to say she had made a mistake.

"Tilly."

It was Mary who spoke up. She and Tilly were good friends and of similar age. She was the one who was in the position to respond.

"Tilly, not only did you make a mistake, but you made an egregious mistake."

Mary didn't show any mercy as she pointed out all of Tilly's wrongdoings.

"You keep saying that Kendall isn't good enough for Dylan, and you keep saying that Kendall has something going on with Frank, but do you have any proof that the two of them did anything disgraceful behind Dylan's back? Do you have any proof that Kendall is Frank's spy that he planted beside Dylan?

"Dylan is the one who knows whether or not Kendall is suitable for him. If he accepts her, what's there for you to be dissatisfied with? Kendall isn't married to you. She's married to Dylan. Dylan's going to spend the rest of his life with her, not you. I don't even know what to say about you anymore. You refused to listen to anyone else no matter how many times we tried to advise you.

You're separating the couple just because of a few photos and the tabloids' viral headlines. Kendall's not the one who drove a wedge into your relationship with Dylan. You did it yourself. Perhaps this is exactly what Frank wanted out of this. You're the one who went along with Frank's malicious schemes. You're the one who seems to be acting as Frank's spy."

Fergus and his brothers all stared at Mary. They agreed with every word Mary said, though all five of them weren't about to say it aloud.

Meanwhile, Emily and all the other daughters-in-law stood on Tilly's side.

It was mainly because they had to suffer under the constraints of the Coleman Family's rules while Kendall had her freedom to do whatever she wanted, thanks to Dylan's support.

They were jealous and resentful.

Therefore, they naturally took Tilly's side.

Tilly felt humiliated that her friend was lecturing her right in front of her children and grandchildren, but she couldn't lash out at her friend.

"What's done is done. Even if you regret it now, you can't change the past. The hurt cannot be undone. You should just rest for now," Mary said.

Tilly pursed her lips.

After being friends with Tilly for decades now, Mary could tell that her old friend still didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Mary sighed. She had already said what she could. Even though Tilly refused to listen now, there would come a time when she would have to lower herself and plead for Kendall to come back.

Unless, of course, Tilly didn't truly care about Dylan.

If Tilly did, then she would certainly be losing this battle.

Mary could sense Dylan's resolve.

He was willing to hurt himself, and that would be enough to break Tilly's heart. Eventually, it would be Tilly who had to give in.

After leaving the main house, Dylan received Kendall's call.

He didn't plan on answering his phone at first.

His mood was the foulest it had ever been, and he would only be taking his anger out on the person who was disturbing him now.

However, Kendall kept calling, so he whipped his phone out in fury, but when he saw that it was Kendall who was calling, his expression changed right away, and he answered at once.

"Kendall!"

As soon as the call connected, Dylan cried out hoarsely, "How could you be so cruel, Kendall? You took my heart with you when you left me!"

However, before Kendall could respond, he started apologizing. "Kendall, I'm sorry. I broke my promise. I told you that even if the sky came crashing down, I would hold it up for you, but in the end, I couldn't do it at all. I allowed you to get hurt. I'm sorry. I'm so useless. Kendall… I miss you. I miss you so much. When you left, the sun left with you. Now, all I see is darkness."

Dylan's voice was hoarse. Kendall could hear him choking back his tears, and her heart twisted up in pain as well.

"Dylan…"

"You must be disappointed in me, right? You don't want to call me 'darling' anymore, right?"

Dylan sounded so pitiful.

Kendall immediately changed her words. "Darling, I'm not disappointed in you. I only left with my parents because it was the best option at the time. I can't let you become an unfilial grandson who gave his grandma a heart attack.

"I'm fine, darling. You need to take care of yourself, too. You're not allowed to torment yourself. Even though I'm back home with my parents now, our companies are still doing business together. I can come and see you as a business partner. If I notice that you've lost weight or have become haggard, I'll be upset and angry too."

The more she said, the more Dylan despised himself for his failure to protect her.

She wasn't mad at him. She didn't resent him. She was worried about him and even tried to comfort him.
