The Imposter Bride

Chapter 263

The maid didn’t want to stick around any longer. Upon hearing Addison’s words, she quickly nodded and headed back. “Yes, ma’am.”

“You’re all useless!” Addison glared at the maid’s retreating figure, cursing under her breath. “Don’t think I don’t know You’re all snickering behind my back about Kendra being assaulted by men You will become men’s plaything, too!”

Having voiced her frustrations, Addison let out a long sigh, as if venting her annoyance. She bent down, intending to pick up Kendra, who was lying on the floor “Kendra, let’s stop this, okay? Mommy will take you shopping for new clothes, and buy you toys, okay?”

Unfortunately, Kendra was now far from the well–dressed girl she used to be. Her eyes were dull, her hair was dry and yellow, and her body was streaked with hideous scars, the ones left by the disgusting men in the underground gambling den she was sold to

In the underground world, Kendra lived a life worse than hell, enduring endless verbal abuse and horrifying torture every single day. She was treated like a plaything, and those men used every means imaginable to torment her if it weren’t for her hatred for Natalia driving her, Kendra might have broken down long ago.

It wasn’t until her mother, Addison, and her father, Kyler, found her that Kendra was able to let down her guard. The moment, her parents saw her in her pitiful state, her spirit completely collapsed Kendra became somewhat dazed and childlike

But there was one thing she didn’t forget that was to keep repeating Natalia’s name.

Whether she was eating or smashing things, she would only repeat that name, Natalia. This intense hatred occupied her mind, almost becoming her instinct. Just like now, even though Kendra was held in Addison’s arms, she kept muttering. “Natalia, I hate you!”

Tears fell from Addison’s eyes, and she sobbed, “Kendra, I know, mommy knows you hate her! Don’t worry. Even if it takes my life, I’ll make Natalia pay! She’s just a worthless piece of trash, but you’re different, Kendra. You’re mommy’s precious baby Be good, alright?”

Kendra, pacified by Addison, suddenly became very excited. She broke free from Addison, trembling in terror. “No, I…I’m not baby, not…not…!

Addison’s heart shattered She realized that she had unintentionally triggered Kendra with the word that had become a taboo That was because in the underground gambling den, Kendra was constantly humiliated and bullied, and those disgusting guys always shamelessly called her “baby”

“Ah, Kendra, I made a mistake Come here, let me help you get dressed Let’s not lie on the ground anymore. It’s cold, and it will make you get sick, my Kendra” Addison was softly calming down Kendra’s emotions. Seeing her daughter’s fearful eyes, her heart was breaking.

Kendra was still stuck on the word “baby” She curled up, mumbling to herself. “No, no, I’m not baby, I’m not…”

Addison couldn’t control her tears anymore. She turned to Kyler, who was standing aside, and scolded him. “It’s all your fault! My daughter has been bullied like this, and you can’t do anything. Are you even a father? Worthless!”

Kyler was hit, but it was his heart that hurt the most. He was deep in self–blame. If he had known that adopting Natalia would lead to this situation, he would never have brought Natalia back from England

He had provided her with the best life and care, but how did Natalia repay him? Natalia, you shouldn’t have done this to Kendral

Kyler’s heart was filled with boundless hatred. He looked at his suffering wife and his naked daughter lying on the ground. He said coldly to Addison, “Addison, send Kendra to a mental institution, and stop provoking the Andersen family”

“Kyler Addison’s eyes were full of resentment “Our daughter has become like this, and you still want to send her to a mental institution! Are you even human?”

Kyler was speechless “Honey you can see Kendra’s condition is getting worse. If we don’t send her to the hospital, shouldn’t we at least get her a doctor?” Kyler discussed carefully with Addison, fearing that she would lose her temper

He felt guilty This was his daughter, after all. His heart was in pain!

As expected Kyler was right. As soon as his words fell, Addison yelled again, “No! I absolutely won’t let outsiders look at my daughter with judging eyes! Every time I think of them snickering behind my daughter’s back, I want to kill them! I won’t allow it. I won’t!”

“Honey, calm down.” Kyler tried to calm down the furious Addison “We won’t send her to a mental institution, but we’ll hire a specialist at a high price. Is that okay?”

Addison finally calmed down. She thought for a while and nodded. “Then you go and hire one. Remember, don’t let him leak any information about Kendra’s condition

Kylers eyes were icy “Don’t worry. After he treats our daughter, I’ll make sure he won’t have the chance to talk.”

Addison understood immediately “Then do as you say, go”

Kyler might not have been the richest man in Melfort, but hiring a renowned doctor wasn’t difficult for him. However, he didn’t go out to hire one. Instead, he had kidnapped the doctor on his way home from work

After examining Kendra, the doctor shook his head. “This is a traumatic psychological disease. It requires time to recover and rest. There’s no major issue. I’ll prescribe some medication to soothe her nerves and relieve her emotions. Follow the prescription for a while, and it should gradually ease Just remember, never bring up these matters in front of her, or else she’ll have another episode”

“Really? That’s fantastic” Addison’s face lit up with joy, then she shot Kyler a grateful glance ‘Thanks, doc.”

Kyler nodded appreciatively “Thank you for making a house call, doctor. We’re really counting on you to treat my daughter’s illness. Could you please write out the prescription now?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sure, here’s the prescription. Your daughter is just dealing with some emotional trauma. If she takes these medications and rests, I believe she’ll bounce back from her current state very quickly. The doctor handed the prescription to Kyler and then turned to leave. “Mr. Kyler, if there’s nothing else, I need to take my leave I have some matters back home that need my attention”
