Chapter 198 Zev Refuses to Divorce
Kelly sat on the sofa in the hospital room, her face pale.
Zev walked in and knelt in front of her. “Kelly…”
Her eyes turned red as she looked at him.
Just how far could they walk this path together?
She raised her hand and gently touched the scrape on his face. “Zev… should we get a divorce?”
“I won’t,” Zev’s voice was tight with panic as he gripped her hand firmly. “I won’t divorce you.”
“But your grandfather won’t accept me.” Kelly sighed softly.
Finished
I’m the one marrying you, not him. I don’t care about his inheritance. We can stay far away from the Lockhart family.” Zev pulled her into his arms, burying his face in her chest.
Kelly glanced down at him and changed the subject. “Lucas’s men are after you. What happened today made me so terrified.”
Zev tightened his hold on her. “Kelly … I’ll catch Lucas soon. I swear.”
“You can’t go after him. We both know how bad your injury is.” Kelly squeezed his fingers gently. “I never wanted to say it–I know how much it would hurt you–but you’re well aware. Your hand… it can’t hold a gün the way it used to.”
Zev’s eyes burned red, his face pressed into her warmth. His voice came muffled but unshaken, “I can do it.”
“Even without you, the peacekeeping force will catch Lucas. Who knows? Maybe they’ll get him tomorrow.” Kelly hugged him close.
A soft voice piped up, “Kelly, what are you and the bad guy doing?”
Zev jolted, springing up and sitting stiffly to the side. “Mind your own business, kid. Go to sleep.”
Faye tilted her head, watching them. “Bad guy, can I stay with Kelly for a while?”
“You want to stick to my wife?” Zev frowned. “Absolutely not.”
“Your opinion doesn’t matter. Kelly already said yes.” Faye stuck out her tongue, clearly pleased to annoy him.
Kelly stood and looked at Faye. “You can stay only until the end of the holiday. Got it?”
Faye pouted but nodded.
Zev, however, was clearly displeased. “I don’t want to deal with a freeloader.”
“Bad guy, you’re the real freeloader,” Faye huffed.
The two glared at each other, equally annoyed.

Chapter 198 Zev Refuses to Divorce
Finished
Ignoring Faye entirely, Zev clung to Kelly, refusing to let go. “Honey… Did my grandpa offer you money to
leave me?”
Kelly chuckled softly, shaking her head. “Do you think this is some soap opera?”
Wade had come today only to issue a warning. He hadn’t gone all in–yet,
But Kelly knew one thing for sure: In a week, Wade would come back… and next time, he wouldn’t be holding back.
Zev spoke softly, “If he offered you money to leave me, just tell me. I’ll give you double–to stay with me.”
Kelly narrowed her eyes. “Oh? Are you that rich? Hiding some secret stash, are you?”
“I’ve given you everything I have…” Zev murmured quietly,
He had already put every last bit of his assets and inheritance into his will, leaving it all to her.
“I don’t want it.” Kelly ruffled his hair gently. “Just stay safe. That’s enough for me.”
Zev’s heart raced, and he pulled her into a tight embrace, his voice trembling with excitement, “Honey, are you… falling for me?”
Kelly froze, her eyes flickering with something unreadable.
But she did not answer his question.
Faye only stayed in the hospital for one night. By the next day, she was already bouncing with excitement, ready to go home.
She was overjoyed, holding Kelly’s hand and skipping excitedly toward the exit.
“Faye.” Eric appeared, carrying Faye’s backpack, which he handed to Kelly. “Kelly … thanks for looking after her. About her living expenses…
“Ten thousand dollars. Transfer it now,” Kelly didn’t hesitate, making it clear he should pay upfront. She wasn’t foolish enough to raise his child for free.
Eric chuckled. “Sure.”
Kelly frowned.
What the hell is he laughing about?
“Kelly, think it over again. Zev isn’t right for you. If you …” He was still trying to stir up trouble and push her toward a divorce.
“You’re asking for a beating.” Zev pulled up to the hospital entrance, his eyes cold as he stared Eric down.
Eric’s expression darkened.

Chapter 198 Zev Refuses to Divorce
Eric watched them drive off, his brows knitting tightly.
Sooner or later, Kelly will come back to me.
“Dr. Gray, I’ve got some interesting news for you.”

A voice came from behind. Andrew, a medical equipment salesman, approached, leaning in to whisper by Eric’s car. “That man, Zev… he’s actually the sole heir of the Lockhart family–Zion Lockhart.”
Eric froze, his face shifting instantly. “What did you say?”
Andrew’s eyes glinted. “Your ex–wife really hit the jackpot. After divorcing you, she ended up marrying the Lockhart family’s sole heir.”
That meant Kelly had gone from an ordinary woman to a wealthy socialite overnight.
With that status, why on earth would she ever divorce Zev to get back with him?
Eric stood there, stunned, his mind blank from the shock.
Zev Lockhart is Zion Lockhart…
Impossible. How could that useless punk … that thug …
How could he be Wade Lockhart’s grandson and the heir to the Lockhart family?
“If your ex–wife and Zev don’t split up, Ms. Clarissa’s going to be a laughingstock.” Andrew’s voice carried a sly undertone, “If you want them to divorce, you’ll need to join forces with Ms. Clarissa.”
A smirk played on his lips as he added, “If you can’t have her, it’s better to destroy her than let anyone else enjoy it.”
