The doctors had worked tirelessly through the night, barely managing to keep Zev alive.
When they finally moved him to the ICU, the head doctor commented that he had never witnessed such a fierce will to survive.
It was obvious–Zev wasn’t ready to give up.
Kelly felt weak, her legs trembling beneath her. She steadied herself against the wall and sank to the floor. Zev was still alive.
But when he would wake up?
That was still unclear.
“The sun’s coming up soon,” Melody said, her voice a little thick with sleep as she sat up from the bench. “You should rest, Kelly. Tomorrow’s your day off. Go home, get some sleep. You can’t fall apart when he’s still holding on.”
Kelly nodded, too tired to argue, but her mind was far away.
Melody stretched and gave a small smile. “Oscar’s with him. That guy Gary? He’s Oscar’s uncle.”
“Yeah. It’s a complicated family,” Melody muttered under her breath as she started the car. “Gary’s a few years older than Oscar, but his rank’s much higher. The whole family’s scared of him. He’s military.”
Kelly tried to process what she was hearing.
“After Oscar and I got married, we moved to Solmaris. I still don’t know half of his family. Now, this trip… rumors are everywhere. Oscar’s mom–she wants us to get divorced.”
Kelly’s jaw tightened. “What? Why?”
Unbelievable!
“People are just like that,” Melody said, frustration creeping into her voice. “The Wagner family’s got this huge reputation in Seaville. My family’s not poor, but we’re nowhere near their level. Even though we’ve managed to make a life in Solmaris, people don’t believe we’re clean. And since I don’t want kids, his mom thinks… something’s wrong with me. Like I’m broken.”
Kelly’s heart clenched. She’d always thought she was the only one struggling with whispers and judgment.
“I’m sorry,” Kelly said, her voice thick with empathy.
She thought no one would attack Melody as long as she endured their comments alone.
“Don’t be,” Melody replied, the bitterness hanging in the air. “I’ve thought about divorcing Oscar. We’ve fought about it for years–five years of constant bickering. If he feels the same way, then fine. Let it happen.” She forced a laugh, but Kelly saw the hurt beneath it.
Melody was the strong one, the one who always acted like things didn’t bother her. But Kelly could see

Revenge with My Undercover Cop Hubby
Chapter 116 Lost Memory
Finished
Although Regina had lost all sense of decency, Faye was still her daughter–the child she had carried for nine long months.
Eric was really trying to convince Faye to go against Regina, wasn’t he?
It was too much to bear.
“Eric, Kelly said, her voice even but firm. “Regina was your benefactor, wasn’t she? This is how you repay her?” She forced out a laugh, but there was no amusement in it.
“Kelly… I owe her, but I love you,” Eric said, trying to explain himself.
“Shouldn’t you be getting to work by now? You’re the youngest head physician. You can’t afford to keep showing up late,” Kelly remarked, glancing at the time, and cutting him off. Without hesitation, she slammed the door shut, leaving him standing on the other side.
Eric stood frozen for a moment, shaking his head, then walked away.
He couldn’t wrap his mind around the idea that Kelly no longer had any feelings for him. He convinced himself it was just her anger.
Once she cooled down, once everything calmed down, she would see the truth–how much he truly cared for her.
Regina’s sentence had been handed down–there was no hope of avoiding prison now.
Yvonne had received her punishment as well. The events had given Kelly a certain notoriety at the hospital. Aside from Beau, who seemed intent on causing trouble, no one dared to cross her.
Zev’s condition had calmed down after three major surgeries. For all practical purposes, he had been pulled back from the edge of death.
But no one knew when he might finally wake up.
“Kelly, could you help me check these medications in the pharmacy?” One of the nurses on duty had been struck with cramps, unable to continue her task, so she asked Kelly for help.
Kelly nodded and took the list with her to the pharmacy.
A new shipment of medications had arrived, but there had been reports of damage during transport.
Kelly inspected the boxes. Most of the medications were stimulants, known for easing pain but also for their addictive nature.
“Didn’t they file for damaged goods? The boxes look fine to me. Are we sending these off for destruction?” Kelly asked, examining the medications carefully. The boxes didn’t show any signs of damage.
“Don’t worry about it. Just check what’s in your department. If everything’s good, you can head back,” the nurse replied.
