Wade sneered. “Do I need an appointment to talk to her?”
Fuming, he stood up and headed toward the hospital room.

As the door swung open, Kelly, thinking it was Zev returning, was about to stand. But when she saw it was Wade, her expression immediately soured, and she sat back down.
“Kelly, is it?” Wade asked coldly, clearly displeased by her presence.
Kelly didn’t respond, her attention fixed on Faye in the bed.
“I’m your elder, and yet you treat me like this? Such poor manners. What kind of upbringing did you have?” Wade demanded angrily.
Kelly took a deep breath and turned to face him. “You barged in uninvited. Do you even know what it means to have good manners? If you had any, you wouldn’t be standing here saying these things to me.”
Wade sat down, his expression darkening. “I think you understand why I’m here.”
Kelly remained silent.
“I’m not an unreasonable person. If you want something from the divorce with Zion, you can name it. The Lockhart family can afford it,” Wade grumbled, his voice thick with frustration. “You’re lucky, really.”
Kelly said nothing.
Wade stared at her coldly. “I expect you to be sensible. Those who know how to act in their best interest are the wise ones. The Lockhart family will never accept someone like you into the family.”
Kelly continued to remain silent.
Wade’s anger boiled over, but he struggled to find a way to vent it.
“Let’s set a time to talk privately,” Wade said, placing his business card on the table.
Kelly tossed the card into the trash. “I have nothing to discuss with you. Stop wasting your time. Zev and I married through the proper channels. Our marriage is legally protected. Unless Zev wants a divorce, I won’t be divorcing him.”
Wade’s face darkened, his gaze heavy with meaning. “It seems Clarissa was right–you won’t cooperate. You’re too greedy… be careful not to stretch yourself too thin.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t want anything from the Lockhart family,” Kelly said, her hands clenched into fists.
“Hmph, that sounds too good to be true,” Wade muttered, his suspicions deepening. “I’ll be back. You’ve got a week to reconsider.”
Kelly didn’t look up, nor did she say anything.
With a frustrated sigh, Wade left.

tugging at Kelly’s sleeve. “Kelly… That grandpa was so mean”

“Don’t be scared. Go back to sleep, sweetheart, Get some more rest” Kelly stroked Faye’s forehead. The fever
was gone.
“Kelly, are they trying to get you and the bad guy to get a divorce?” Faye asked again.
“Kids shouldn’t ask about such things.” Kelly gently wiped Faye’s forehead with a towel.
“That bad guy is actually pretty nice. When you were with my dad, you were always crying. But with that bad guy, you’re always smiling.”
Children always seemed to see things clearly,
“You sure know a lot for a little one. Now, sleep” Kelly smiled softly.
Glancing at the clock, she got up and walked to the window.
Did the Lockhart family take Zev home?
If Wade insisted on the divorce, what would Zev think?
Meanwhile, downstairs, Zev stood frozen in place, his expression grim.
The officials had already left.
Gary walked over and patted Zev on the shoulder.
“You liar…” Zev’s eyes narrowed, his glare sharp and accusing.
Gary met his gaze with an apologetic look. “The higher–ups reviewed your injuries. You’ll never reach your former level again. There’s no way they’ll let you take part in this mission.”
His earlier promises … had been nothing more than a stalling tactic.
“I told you, if I expose my identity, I can draw Lucas out! Just give me the chance!” Zev’s voice was tight with frustration. “I’m already exposed. If we don’t act now, the people around me will be in danger!”
“The higher–ups won’t approve it. Zev … let it go.” Gary took a deep breath, his voice heavy. “If you’re truly worried about Kelly, then divorce her.”
Only when Lucas was caught would Zev finally be free from this nightmare.
“Never!” Zev snapped, his eyes burning with defiance.
He had fought so hard… for Kelly to become his wife.
“I warned you,” Gary sighed, his voice weary. “Back when you insisted on marrying her, I told you this would happen. But you wouldn’t listen.”
“I will never divorce Kelly. I’ll protect her using my way!” Zev’s voice dropped, cold and resolute, “If they
won’t send me on the miccion then I’ll go on my own

“Watch me,” Zev’s steps were firm, his tone unwavering.
He would handle this himself.
If the higher–ups refused to act, then he’d lure Lucas out on his own.
Gary let out a weary sigh.
But even if Lucas was eliminated… Wade was another ticking bomb waiting to explode.
Wade had gone behind Zev’s back and let Clarissa carry a Lockhart heir.
That, too, was a thorn driven deep between Zev and Kelly.
