Before long, officers from the police force, criminal investigation team, and drug enforcement unit arrived on the scene.
The man who had given Zev the package was quickly apprehended, and the illegal contents inside were discovered.
Panic spread across the man’s face as he desperately tried to shift the blame, “It wasn’t me—it was him! He’s my accomplice!”
Zev smiled. “How much are they paying you to pin this on me?”
The man clenched his teeth, doubling down, “It’s the truth! You agreed to deliver it for 10,000 dollars!”
Oscar smirked. “You clearly don’t know who he is. Do you truly think he’d risk everything over a measly 10,000 dollars?” He then signaled his team to search the grocery store.
“Well, well, that was almost too easy. You just handed us a whole operation on a silver platter,” one of the drug enforcement officers joked.
They had been investigating for ages with little success, yet the entire scheme was exposed in an instant.
“It’s not that simple.” Zev’s expression remained serious as his gaze drifted toward the store and then to a black car speeding off nearby. “That car was following me before this guy handed me the backpack. Track it down.”
Oscar nodded, immediately ordering his team to intercept the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Andrew, seated inside the car, hadn’t expected his plan to backfire so spectacularly.
However, he had taken precautions–there was no direct evidence linking him to the contraband.
As Oscar approached, Andrew flashed a casual smile. “Officers, is there a problem?”
Oscar leaned against the car window, his tone cool and measured, “You’ve been watching Zev all day. Who exactly are you?”
“Ah, so you caught on.” Andrew wiped the sweat off his forehead and smirked as he passed the camera to Oscar. “Someone hired me to shadow Zev–I’m doing private detective work for them.”
“Who sent you to spy on him?” Oscar’s voice was low and steady.
“I can’t reveal that. Client confidentiality.” Andrew maintained a calm facade and was experienced in handling those situations.
“No answer? Then you’re coming with us.” Oscar signaled for someone to pull Andrew from the car.
“Hold on, I haven’t broken any laws. All I did was take some photos. My job was to watch Zev and report any wrongdoing. The client is a doctor–he claims Zev stole his wife. He just wants proof to pressure him into a divorce.” Andrew chuckled as if it were nothing.

“Fine, you’re free to go,” Oscar dismissed him.

“You’re letting him off that casily?” Zev frowned. “If I get caught with illegal goods, that’s a serious charge. I have every reason to think Eric set me up.”
“This guy’s a pro. He knows we can’t pin anything on him, so dragging him in for questioning would be pointless. But if we keep an eye on him, we might dig up something useful Oscar patted Zev’s shoulder. “Appreciate the effort.”
Zev stayed silent, his expression grim.
Eric targeting him was one thing, but it was clear the Lynches were after Kelly. Otherwise, Eric wouldn’t have tried to pressure her with shared debt.
He couldn’t afford to waste any more time.
“Where are you going?” Oscar offered him a ride, but Zev was already walking off.
“The hospital. Picking up my wife. Take the potatoes and tomatoes home for me–I’ll see you tonight.” Zev waved him off, his mind already on Kelly.
At Seaville Hospital, Kelly was finishing her shift when she overheard the nurses chatting excitedly at the
entrance.
“Oh my, there’s a gorgeous guy outside! Tall, with the kind of smile that makes your heart skip a beat.”
“He looks mixed or from an ethnic minority–his face is unreal…”
Curious, Kelly stepped out of her office and spotted Zev.
His sharp features and composed expression gave him a distant, untouchable aura. Even though he was undeniably attractive, his cold demeanor kept most people at bay, preventing admirers from swarming him.
Kelly found that rather satisfying–it saved her the trouble of dealing with other women trying to get close to him.
“Honey!” Zev’s face lit up the moment he saw her, his smile completely different from the aloof expression he had moments ago.
One of the younger nurses gushed, “Oh my god, Dr. Yeager, is that your husband? You’re so lucky!”
Eric had always been considered the most attractive doctor at the hospital, but now, after her remarriage, Kelly’s new husband was stealing the spotlight.
“Is he a model?” another nurse asked, fascinated.
Kelly looped her arm through Zev’s and introduced him proudly, “This is my husband. Let’s all have dinner together sometime.”
Zev raised
an eyebrow in surprise but was pleased. At least Kelly wasn’t hiding their relationship.

Not far away, Eric had just finished his shift and was watching the scene unfold, his expression darkening
Zev noticed Eric immediately. His gaze sharpened as he pulled Kelly closer, sending a silent warning
Eric clenched his jaw, looking like he wanted to say something, but before he could, Regina stormed over.
“Eric!” she snapped, her eyes blazing as she turned on Kelly. “You have no shame! Even after the divorce, you’re still trying to seduce my husband?”
Kelly sighed, realizing there was no reasoning with Regina. “If you’re hallucinating, the psych ward is that way. If you think you have rabies, feel free to visit our department. Are you blind or just in denial? My husband is taller, better–looking, and far more impressive than yours. Maybe you should get checked for paranoia.”
Without waiting for a response, she grabbed Zev’s hand and walked off.
Regina, still ranting like an angry dog, was yanked away by Eric. “Stop it! You’re embarrassing me!”
“What? Eric, do you think I’m embarrassing you now?”
