“I love him. I love him so much,” Kelly said, deliberately unzipping her sunblock jacket, revealing the hickey on her neck.
Before she left, she had caught a glimpse of it in the mirror–Zev’s playful mark.
At first, she had shot him a few irritated glares and, in her frustration, thrown on a jacket to cover it.
But now, that felt unnecessary.
Zev was her husband, and she didn’t need to hide their relationship anymore.
“Kelly!” Eric’s voice cracked with disbelief. “You let him touch you?”
“Are you out of your mind? He’s my husband,” Kelly snapped, her patience running thin as Eric rushed toward her and grabbed her wrist. “Let go of me, or I’ll scream.”
A woman’s voice interrupted them. “Dr. Yeager? What a coincidence! I was just looking for you.”
The woman approached with purpose, her heels clicking sharply on the floor. She quickly pushed Eric’s hand away and pulled Kelly into a warm hug.
Kelly blinked, trying to place her, though the face seemed faintly familiar.
“Hattie, this is none of your business. We’re talking here,” Eric growled, clearly annoyed.
Hattie rolled her eyes and didn’t seem to care about Eric’s outburst. “Dr. Gray, can’t we talk at home? We’re in a hospital, after all. Dr. Yeager and I have things to discuss as well.”
With that, Hattie turned toward the small crowd gathering around them and raised her voice. “Dr. Yeager, I heard you donated millions to medical institutions, and you just got back from peacekeeping duty–what a hero!”
The mention of Kelly’s donation grabbed the attention of several onlookers who had already seen the news.
Kelly looked around, but didn’t stop Hattie. She let the conversation unfold, noticing the dark look on Eric’s face as he turned and stormed off.
“Thank you…” Kelly murmured to Hattie, still trying to recall where she had seen her before.
Hattie pointed to herself with a big grin. “I’m the pharmaceutical rep. You know, the one by the kindergarten gate?”
The memory hit Kelly. Hattie had been there when Kelly had stormed the kindergarten, taking Faye in front of Regina.
“Did you and Dr. Gray get divorced?” Hattie asked, clearly eager to gossip.
Kelly nodded quietly.
“Good for you!” Hattie said, her voice taking on an excited tone. She glanced around, ensuring no one was too close, before taking Kelly’s arm and leading her down a quieter path. “Not that I’m trying to stir

Hattie pulled out a photo and showed it to Kelly. The woman in the picture had a sweet, innocent look- similar to Kelly’s appearance years ago.
Kelly stared at the photo for a long time, but her feelings remained calm, almost detached.
She should have known. If Eric had been unfaithful to her and hooked up with Regina during their marriage, it only made sense that he would have done the same with other women.
“Though this isn’t something honorable…” Hattic lowered her voice. “The girl set Eric up. They were drinking together, and she slipped something into his drink.”
The girl had used the same trick Regina did to win over Eric.
“Regina found out about it afterward and dealt with it quietly. The girl’s life went downhill after that. She had to leave the country because there was no future for her here. The Lynches aren’t exactly known for being kind–hearted,” Hattie fumed. “Regina’s the mistress, but she’s out there catching other mistresses. It’s really pathetic.”
Kelly was stunned, silent in the face of these revelations.
She hadn’t realized just how eventful Eric’s past few years had been.
How foolish she had been to think that while she lay awake at night in Solmaris, Eric would be waiting for her, crying over her absence, longing for her return …
It was naive.
“Even if the girl trapped him, he still played along,” Hattie added with contempt. “The drug may have made him less aware, but it wasn’t enough to make him helpless. He had no self–control … Dr. Yeager, with all the money you’ve donated, you must be a good person. Honestly, this world is a circus of fame and fortune, but you’re different. It’s probably for the best that you’re out of it.”
Kelly looked at Hattie thoughtfully before asking quietly, “Since your world is so messed up, have you ever thought about changing jobs?”
Hattie gave a small, self–deprecating smile. “Ah, the money’s good. The profits are high: I’ve got two kids to raise on my own, so I don’t have many choices.”
Kelly was surprised. “You don’t look old enough to have two kids. You have such a great figure, and you’re beautiful. I wouldn’t have guessed.”
Hattie chuckled, a warm and cheerful sound. “Well, they’re not actually mine. They’re my brother’s kids. He was a doctor here at this hospital, but he passed away unexpectedly while working. Beau covered it up, but he did offer us a deal. I asked for long–term cooperation with the hospital, so Beau kind of owes my family a favor…”
So, she was raising her brother’s children now. “My sister–in–law took off with the compensation money from my brother’s death and left behind two kids. Who else was going to take care of them? I couldn’t just leave them.”
Kelly admired Hattie’s resilience and strength. She liked people like her–those who kept shining no matter how tough life got.
“I’ll let you go now, Dr. Yeager. I’ve got things to do. Just stay away from bad men, alright? Things will get

Chapter 138 Kelly Confesses Her Love for Zev
Kelly watched her go, feeling grateful for people like Hattic–those who radiated light.
Just like Zev.
No matter how hard life had been or how many setbacks they had faced, they still managed to shine.
Their struggles hadn’t broken them.
They were like beams of light, illuminating everything around them.

A message from Zev popped up on Kelly’s phone. “Babe, you’ve been gone for an hour, thirty minutes, and sixteen seconds. I miss you,” followed by a cute dog emoji.
Kelly laughed, feeling the weight of Eric’s presence lift slightly.
She replied, “I miss you too. I’ll be back soon.”
Zev was probably typing a response, with his messages showing that he was typing over and over, though
none were sent.
He was likely deleting and retyping his message.
But just her simple reply was enough to make his entire day.
