As they stepped out of the hospital, Kelly looked at Zev She asked, “What are you doing here? It’s too dangerous for you to be here.”
Turning off the recorder in her pocket, Kelly thought about a way to release the recording out and make it public.
“More dangerous than Solmaris?” Zev asked, an unconvinced look on his face.
“It’s different,” Kelly replied urgently, gesturing. “In Solmaris, the danger came from guns and ammo. Here, it’s people that chew you up.”
It was invisible smoke and hidden battlefields.
The terrifying scheming could kill you.
It was all about deception, power struggles, and the fight for dominance.
“So you need me to protect you,” Zev said, as if he didn’t understand, trailing behind Kelly.
Kelly was anxious but helpless.
She and Zev were from completely different worlds; there was no way she could make him understand.
Finally, Kelly relented, signaling with her hands. “I’m hungry.”
Zev looked at her and asked, “What do you want to eat?
“Barbecue, fondue … anything,” Kelly said, avoiding his gaze.
Zev paused, raising an eyebrow. “Can you handle spicy? Non–spicy fondue has no soul.”
Kelly was a native of Seaville; she had always eaten light meals at home. She rarely ate spicy or rich- flavored foods like barbecue or fondue. Since she started dating Eric, the two had mostly eaten non–spicy broths with tomatoes and mushrooms for fondue.
She had never tried the spicy fondue before.
But Zev loved spicy food.
Kelly hesitated, then nodded firmly, as though making up her mind.
Zev smiled, feeling unexpectedly cheerful, his mood improving for no apparent reason.
He walked ahead, then handed Kelly the corner of his jacket. “Hold on to this; don’t get lost. It’s hard to find you.
Kelly lowered her head and grabbed the edge of his jacket.
They walked, one behind the other, heading to a fondue restaurant.
Instead of going to the fondue place near the hospital, ev led Kelly to a humble, old shop tucked away in
a narrow street.

Chapter 83 Kelly Gets Drunk
The place wasn’t crowded; the decor was worn but clean.

“I used to come here a lot for fondue when I was a kid, ev explained. “The owner’s from Ucrosa, and the cheese fondue here is authentic.”
Kelly stared at the large pot where the cheese that had yet melted with some chilies on top of it. She was shocked.
Would eating this wreck her stomach?
“Don’t chicken out.” Zev said, offering one of his usual old philosophies. “Spice is pain, and after pain, endorphins will make you feel happy.”
Kelly watched the cheese slowly melt at the bottom of the pot and started to bubble.
Zev picked up a piece of meat that had been cooking for just a few seconds and placed it in her bowl. “It’s mildly spicy; it just looks scary. Want to try?”
Kelly took a bite, and her face turned red from the spiciness.
Zev watched her, chuckling. “Maybe I should have gotten you a non–spicy fondue instead.”
Kelly shook her head. For some reason, she was determined to try new flavors.
It was like how she had resolutely decided to leave the past behind and start a new chapter in her life.
Zev watched her silently for a long moment, then ordered a cool drink for her. “If it’s too spicy, drink this. It’ll help cool you down.”
Kelly broke into a sweat from the spiciness, but after taking a sip of the drink, her eyes widened in amazement. Surprisingly, she gave Zev a surprised thumbs up.
It tasted amazing.
Zev just watched her, as the entire spread of delicious food before them couldn’t get his attention.
Before meeting Kelly, Zev had never realized how much of a hopeless romantic he was.
He used to think his friends were pathetic when they cried over women. Now, here he was, eating his own words.
Zev gave a helpless smile and went back to cooking more meat for her.
Kelly was sweating, but like Zev had said, the spice was a form of pain, and pain could trigger the release of endorphins.
After intense pain, the body healed itself.
“Beer,” Kelly said, looking at a nearby table where people were drinking. She slapped the table and demanded her own.
Zev was shocked. “You want beer?”
He had seen how Kelly handled alcohol before.

Chapter 83 Kelly Gets Drunk
Finished:
Back in Solmaris, when Lucas had clinched a big deal, everyone celebrated by drinking. He’d forced Kelly to drink a glass of liquor. That night, Kelly had cried and screamed Eric’s name all evening.
Zev was so angry he almost sealed her mouth shut. He quietly swore to himself that he would never let Kelly drink again.
She was more annoying when she was drunk–when she didn’t drink, she stayed silent, but when she did, she would call out for Eric.
Kelly’s eyes lit up as she nodded eagerly.
Zev had no choice but to order three bottles of beer, figuring that if Kelly couldn’t finish them, he would.
But Kelly drank one after another.
She hadn’t drunk much before, but now she seemed fearless.
Before long, she was drunk, and started to cause a scene
“Kelly, you’ve had too much,” Zev said, watching as she almost tumbled into the fondue pot. He quickly grabbed her by the neck to stop her.
“Mmm,” Kelly mumbled, eyes glazed over, holding the beer bottle in one hand and showing three fingers, signaling she wanted three more bottles.
Zev dared not let her drink. He quickly paid the bill and pulled her out of the restaurant.
Kelly could no longer walk in a straight line, stumbling and swaying.
Zev had no choice but to kneel in front of Kelly and offered his back. “Hop on; I’ll carry you.”
Kelly glanced at Zev, then hesitated briefly before climbing onto his back.
Zev stiffened and took a deep breath.
Looks like he’ll be drinking more with her in the future.
“Eric!” Sure enough, the drunk Kelly spoke up, still calling for Eric.
Zev froze. As he carried Kelly under the streetlight, his emotions were a swirl of anger, frustration, and jealousy.
“Hey!‘s them.”
But before he could let her stay mad, a car pulled up at the side of the road.
Zev frowned, watching warily as people got out of the car.
Around eight men, all carrying sticks and wearing baseball caps and masks, charged toward Zev and Kelly.
