After a moment of silence, Dylan stated, "No matter what she wants, I will provide her with anything that is within my abilities."

Yoseph did not know how to respond to him.

Looking at his brother, Dylan mocked himself, saying, "Yoseph, with the state I am in right now, I am even unfit when matched up to Kendall. It could even be said that I've dragged her down by marrying her. Who else does Grandma want me to marry? Who else can I even marry?"

"Dylan, you will get better soon."

Snorting, Dylan replied, "If Grandma really is planning on chasing Kendall away, maybe I should just stay in this state. In this way, even if I'm unworthy of her, Grandma will at least not make it hard on her, seeing how we're husband and wife. Instead, she might even be scared that Kendall might leave me."

Yoseph said, "Dylan, I believe that you'll be cured. But, you have to keep up with your rehabilitation. I trust that Kendall will also be very happy on the day you can stand up by yourself again. As for Grandma, have you ever feared her before?"

After a while, Dylan nodded and replied, "You're right, Yoseph. I wasn't myself just now."

This all made Yoseph think, It seems like Dylan cares so much about Kendall that he uttered that, seeing how much he's worried that Grandma might chase Kendall away.

"Yoseph, since you're not going out, help me with my rehabilitation today. I want to recover quickly."

In this way, if Kendall encountered anything dangerous again, he would be able to rush to her side at a moment's notice.

This was so he could protect her as best as he could.

"Okay."

Yoseph did not reject his brother, as it was good news that he wanted to rehabilitate.

Kendall, who was oblivious to what the brothers had talked about after she left, had the driver send her to the hospital first to visit Sally.

Maybe it was due to her daughter accompanying her, but Sally had been recovering nicely, and her body's condition was slowly improving.


With a bouquet of flowers in her hands, Kendall also brought a lot of supplements. Entering the ward, she saw Sally browsing through social media using her son's phone while laughing from time to time.

As for Nelson, he was peeling an apple for his mother.

Upon seeing Kendall made the mother and son stop their actions. Sally put the phone on the bedside table before smiling. "Hello, Kendall."

Shifting her focus to Kendall, she was a bit disappointed upon seeing no one appearing behind Kendall.

Knowing that Sally had anticipated Kelly to show up, Kendall explained, "Mom, I didn't come from home, so I didn't come with Kelly. Last night, we were at an event where she drank quite a lot. So, I think she should be resting at home today."

Sally immediately replied, "Why did she drink so much? It's bad for her stomach. How about you, Kendall? Did you drink a lot too? You like to drink, so you must have had a lot too last night."

After greeting Nelson, Kendall handed over the bouquet to Sally and set the supplements down on the table before sitting down.

She then smiled. "Mom, it's not like you don't know how much I can drink. Don't worry, I won't allow myself to get drunk. Dad told me before that a woman must know her limits when drinking outside to avoid getting drunk and getting into trouble."

She had been drunk once.

It was when she became an adult, at the age of eighteen, that her adopted father, Milo, and her two brothers brought her to a bar. Stating that she was an adult now, he allowed Kendall to drink as much as she wanted.

Then, she drank until she blacked out.

The next day after she woke up, Milo told her how much she drank before she passed out and told her how every woman should know her limits, be aware of when she would get drunk and control her intake before anything unfortunate happened.

Society can be a cruel place, especially for women who would get drunk drinking outside. If there were no family or friends to take care of them, one could easily guess what would happen to them.

So, from then on, every time Kendall drank outside, she would drink until she reached a certain amount before refusing any more drinks, as she would never let herself get drunk.

"Aren't you smug?"

Sally advised her, "No matter if you get drunk or not, you should cut back on drinking."

"I know. You don't have to be worried about Kelly either, as she has to entertain her clients by drinking when talking about business, so her alcohol tolerance is also quite high."

Sally was still worried about her even though Kendall said all this.

But in front of her, Sally did not continue to ask about Kelly.

"You've bought so many supplements again. How can I consume them all?" Sally remarked after seeing what Kendall bought for her.

Smiling while taking two pieces of apple from her brother, Kendall gave one to Sally before saying, "Mom, I have a job with a stable income now. Besides, the family isn't really in any financial difficulty either. I didn't know where to spend my money, so I only thought about buying some supplements for you. Mom, if you don't eat them all, it'll be equivalent to you wasting my salary. I don't think you want that to happen, right?"

"You and your glib tongue…"

Sally, who looked to be mildly frustrated on the surface, was actually feeling very blessed.

Even though Kendall was not her own flesh and blood, after spending 25 years together, their mother and daughter relationship was still going very strongly.

Unfortunately, Charlotte was not all happy that Kendall kept on visiting them.
