Chapter 601


    "Thank you for the offer, Vice President Parker. I''m President Parker''s secretary, so I do whatever he


    requests. I don''t think it''s demeaning just because I''m assisting Ms. Parker."


    Emma knew Kelly didn''t actually appreciate her ability but wanted to drive a wedge between her and


    Kendall.


    Come to think of it, she and Kelly were around the same age and had also been in the business world


    for years. However, her little schemes were still not enough to fool Emma.


    Toddy once told her that manyrge corporations, including Mendelson Group, wished he could join


    theirpany. However, it wasn''t because they appreciated his ability but because he was Dn''s


    right-hand man and was deeply trusted by Dn. Hence, they wanted to remove him from the picture


    to knock Dn down.


    s, Toddy would lose his value as soon as he left Dn, who would eventually find himself a new


    assistant. That was unless he could help his new boss surpass Dn, but it was rather unlikely.


    As Toddy''s mentee, Emma knew this very well. Hence, she would never betray her employer, no matter


    what others promised her. Not only was she clear-headed, but her moral standing forbade her from


    doing it.


    "I believe this is where you get out, Vice President Parker," Emma reminded Kelly, who replied with a


    sneer, "How loyal of you, Miss Finley. But the loyal ones usually have a miserable ending. They always


    say you can bear torment with someone but never share happiness together. One day, you will regret


    your decision to help Kendall, Miss Finley."


    With that, she walked out of the elevator with her nose in the air.


    Emma, too, sneered after Kelly left the elevator. "You say it as if I''ll have a happy ending if I follow you.


    I never regret any decisions I make!"


    She wanted nothing to do with the Parker sisters'' feud. She just wanted to do her job, and since Dn


    assigned her to help Kendall, she would do everything she could.


    When Kendall no longer needed her support, she would retire to Coleman Empire Holdings. Even if


    she could no longer be Dn''s secretary, she believed he would assign her to the perfect job.


    Dn would never mistreat anyone meritorious, after all.


    Emma also believed Kendall wasn''t the person Kelly had painted her as. Kelly was only sowing


    discord, and Emma wouldn''t fall for it.


    …


    Meanwhile, at the hospital, Dn and Kendall dressed inly, put on some makeup to ruin their


    appearances, and even wore face masks to avoid attention and make it hard for people to recognize


    them at first nce. They didn''t even bring bodyguards with them, and Dn believed he alone could


    protect his beloved wife now that he could move freely.

    While waiting for the results toe out, the couple sat quietly on the bench and stared at therge


    monitor on the wall, which would disy the patient''s name when the results were ready for them.


    Kendall came to the hospital to confirm her pregnancy, and it was a result that woulde out very


    quickly.


    Sure enough, Kendall''s name appeared on the monitor in two shakes.


    "I''ll do it, honey." Dn pressed Kendall back down on her seat while he got up and scanned the


    barcode on the receipt at the machine, which automatically printed out Kendall''s results.


    Instead of reading the paper at once, Dn returned to his beloved Kendall, held her hand, and cooed,


    "Let''s go."


    "What does it say?" Kendall asked.


    "No rush. We can take our time looking at it after we get in the car. I''m sure it''s as we expected."


    "Okay, then." Kendall beamed.


    If Dn could refrain from looking at it, then so could she. Being the expecting mother, she was certain


    they were expecting.


    After all, she had even dreamed about Baby calling her Mommy. It must be that her baby girl had


    returned to her.


    As the couple walked with their fingers inteced, they ran into Charlotte at the entrance.


    "Mom," Kendall called out to Charlotte, who looked in the direction Kendall''s voice came from. She was


    on the phone right then, and when she made out Kendall and Dn, she immediately ended the call


    and strode toward them with a sophisticated purse in her other hand.


    "Kendall, Master Dn, what are you two doing here?"


    Did something happen to Dn''s legs again? At that, Charlotte gazed toward Dn''s legs. However, it


    seemed that he was walking pretty steadily.


    "We came to do some tests, Mom. What are you doing here? Are you sick?"


    However, Charlotte was more concerned about the couple''s issue. "What test? Is it a body checkup?"


    However, the Colemans never needed toe to the hospital for their body checkups. They would


    normally ask a trusted team of physicians to go to them instead.


    Then, Charlotte noticed a piece of report-looking paper in Dn''s hand, so she instinctively reached


    her hand out to him. "Master Dn, can I please take a look at that paper?"


    At that, the couple exchanged a nce; they thought they could''ve hidden it from Kendall''s mother for


    a while.


    Meanwhile, Charlotte''s heart skipped a beat when she saw the couple''s interaction, and she


    immediately pulled the report out of Dn''s hands.


    At first nce, she widened her eyes. Then, at second nce, she beamed.


    "Turns out you''re pregnant, Kendall. Goodness, you really scared the hell out of me. I thought


    something bad had happened to one of you. You''re pregnant. This is wonderful!"


    While Charlotte was in seventh heaven, Kendall sighed under her breath.


    Sometimes, the bestid ns of mice and men often went awry. She had only let her father in on this


    so far, and she even made sure he would be quiet about it for a while. But who''d have thought they''d


    run into her beloved mother at the hospital''s entrance?!


    "I''m in my early first trimester." Kendall smiled. "Other than being lethargic and constantly craving


    something sour, I don''t feel anything yet. Plus, bloody Mary hasn''t visited. I came to check and realized


    we''re expecting."


    She didn''t reveal this was her second checkup, for Charlotte would instantly know she had deliberately


    kept Charlotte in the dark.


    "Being pregnant is good. It''s very good." Charlotte couldn''t stop beaming.


    She could finally lift the boulder off her shoulders.


    Dn was a decent guy, and now that Kendall was expecting, their life would only get better.


    "So, Mom, what brings you to the hospital? Are you sick?" Kendall hadn''t heard her parents talking


    about being unwell at all.


    She had been busytely and hadn''t gone back to her parent''s home for a while now. But she would


    call her birth and adopted mother every day, so she knew about their situation.


    Charlotte lived pretty eventfully, for she would either y poker, shop around with her friends, or go to a


    spa. If there really was anything, it''d be Charlotte''s worry that Kendall could never be a mother.


    "It''s nothing big. I just have trouble sleeping through the nighttely. I asked Dr. Lee to prescribe me


    some medication, but it wasn''t working, so he rmended me to a specialist. I was just about to call


    that doctor when I heard you."


    Kendall''s heart skipped a beat. Be it in this life or thest one, she had never heard Charlotte talking


    about having trouble sleeping.


    Could Kelly have drugged Mom? Knowing Kelly, she wouldn''t poison Mom but drug her with something


    that''ll break her mentally. First, Mom will have trouble sleeping, then gradually, her mentality will be


    affected, and she might even go insane in the end!
