Sitting on the bed, Kelly dialed his number again and again, but each time, it went straight to voicemail.
At some point, Zev had become her anchor–the one who could calm her nerves and chase away her worries.
It should have been a good thing, but the side effects came along with it.
When Kelly got the feeling Zev might be in danger or might leave her, her anxiety and fear would hit her hard, causing obvious physical reactions.
Her fingers began trembling uncontrollably again. Stiffly, she swiped on her phone and called Ken.
With no way to reach Zev, she had no idea who else to call:
At that moment, she truly realized how lonely and terrifying it was to be unaccepted by her husband’s family.
In the past, she had convinced herself that as long as Zev loved her, nothing
to humble herself or go out of her way to win Wade’s approval–whether he accepted her or not had
mattered. She didn’t need
nothing to do with her.
But now, tears welled up in her eyes, trembling on the edge of falling.
Because she didn’t even know who to contact.
Beep…
After what felt like an eternity, Ken finally picked up. “Kelly …
”
His voice carried a trace of urgency, but he quickly composed himself. “Wade had a medical emergency and was rushed to the hospital. He’s still unconscious. And … Zion is missing.”
“Missing?” Kelly forced herself to stay calm, her voice barely above a whisper. “What do you mean by that?”
“Zev was driving Wade to the hospital, but on the way back… he went missing. I called him repeatedly, but he didn’t answer. Someone… reported his car abandoned near Rivercross Park, and he’s… gone Don’t worry. Stoneville isn’t like being abroad; it’s not a big deal. I’ve called the cops, and Gary’s gov/people looking for him.”
Kelly took a deep breath, holding the phone tightly.
She had to force herself to stay calm.
Otherwise, both she and Zev might end up in danger.
“Stay in the hotel room with the baby and don’t go anywhere,” Ken said, thinking of Kelly’s safety and telling her to look after Jasper.
Kelly’s voice was faintly hoarse as she asked, “Wade’s condition was stable. How did he end up in the hospital so suddenly? What’s going on?”
He medical instincts were kicking in, sensing something was off.

“He’s been on medication for years, and his immune system’s been weak. His allergies have gotten worse,” Ken said softly. “This morning, after breakfast, he had a severe allergic reaction that led to a series of complications.”
Kelly slowly shut her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
Heh… Wade’s nutritionist follows him everywhere, and his meals are meticulously planned. There’s no way such a major error could happen. It’s obvious Zev’s been set up.
Someone is using Wade…
Kelly was sure of it. It was someone close to them.
Clarissa must have realized by now that Shane wasn’t Zev’s son; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so cruel to him yesterday, pouring cold water on him.
She’s completely lost her mind.
“Call the police…” Kelly murmured.
“We’ve gone over Wade’s meals, and everything seems fine,” Ken said, though right. Zev wouldn’t just vanish for no reason.
knew something wasn’t
“The problem wouldn’t be with the food; that’s too obvious…” Kelly stood up, clenching her fists. “Who did Wade have breakfast with this morning?”
She forced herself to stay calm, biting her lip so hard that blood started to spread in her mouth.
“Me and Shane,” Ken replied.
“Don’t let Clarissa take Shane. Get him to the police station and have them check his clothes for any allergens that could have been fatal to Wade … and don’t forget to check his hair and body as well.” Kelly took a deep breath.
Ken understood what Kelly was implying.
He fell silent for a moment before speaking, “You suspect Clarissa is using Shane.”
“Yes,” Kelly didn’t hide her suspicions or determination.
“Okay.” Before hanging up, Ken hesitated and asked, “Do you trust me?“.
His voice was cautious.
At this point, Wade was in the hospital due to a severe allergic reaction and might not make it. Zev was missing, and it was clear that the people who stood to gain the most included him as well.
“Yes,” Kelly responded, knowing she had no other option. She didn’t know who else to trust besides Ken. She had to take a gamble.
“You might want Zev dead, but you would never hurt Wade.”
Kelly was certain that if Ken had truly wanted to harm Wade, he had plenty of opportunities in the past, when she and Zey were both absent.

Tll get to the bottom of this,” Ken said before hanging up.
Kelly glanced back at Jasper, who was sitting quietly on the bed, watching her with big eyes. She smiled, trying to hide her anxiety. “Jasper … Great–grandpa is sick, and Daddy needs to stay with him.”
She knew she couldn’t leave the hotel right now; she didn’t want to make things worse for Zev.
All she could do was wait and hope.
Though the waiting was unbearable, there was nothing else she could do.
Zev will definitely protect himself and will surely return safely I couldn’t let myself become a burden to him.
