"Mr. Wade, please calm down," Gary said as he entered the room, his voice calm and measured. “You''re getting older, and this level of anger can''t be good for you."
Kelly was taken aback. She hadn''t expected to see Gary here at the hospital.
"Mr. Wade, I don''t think you understand Kelly," Gary continued, his stance firm as he walked toward Kelly to stand by her side. "She deserves the recognition she''s getting."
rissa couldn''t believe what she was hearing. Gary is stepping in to defend Kelly again?
Gary is an extremely busy man. For him toe all the way here just to support Kelly is both surprising and revealing. No wonder Kelly seems so confident.
"Hmph, you must be blind to the truth if you''re defending this girl," Wade said with frustration, his voice rising. "Gary, I don''t care who she is to you-if she dares toy a finger on anyone from the Lockharts, she''ll face the consequences."
"Anyone from the Lockharts? Who exactly are you referring to?" Gary asked calmly, his eyes sharp as he took in the scene.
rissa felt a sudden unease under Gary''s unshaken gaze. His calmposure and strong sense of justice made her feel guilty, as if she were the one in the wrong.
Without thinking, she nced at Beau and instinctively took a step back behind Wade, feeling vulnerable.
Beau, ever the opportunist, chuckled before speaking up. "Gary, rissa and Zion are engaged. She''s carrying his child. Soon, we''ll all be family."
Gary raised an eyebrow and looked at him with skepticism. "Ha... Zion is in the ICU right now, recovering from injuries sustained on duty. How exactly did rissa manage to get pregnant with his child without him knowing?"
Gary''s words were sharp, his gaze now focused on Wade, as if searching for
answers.
Mr. Wade has always been in control and been used to being a dominant man, but age has made him senile. How did a young woman manage to deceive him so easily? And the idea of rissa getting pregnant with a Lockhart''s child is almostughable.
"You''re Zion''s uncle, and his well-being is your responsibility,” Wade spat out, clearly angry. "As Zion''s grandpa, I have the right to ensure he has heirs. Gary, you can''t me me for not showing you respect. Tell that brat behind you to apologize to rissa and let her p her in return. If you teach her a lesson, I''ll let this matter go, but if she refuses-"
"I refuse," Kelly interrupted, her voice steady and unyielding. "Have you ever been defied in your life? Hiding behind power and wealth, arrogance is second nature to you. It''s actually kind of sad."
Gary rubbed his forehead, clearly frustrated with the situation. Kelly had no filter, and her words stung.
"Ahem," Gary said softly, trying to smooth things over. "Kelly, he''s still an elder. You can''t be so unreasonable."
"Ha. he''s not my elder. Why should I change my approach?" Kelly shot back without hesitation.

"Kelly has principles. She wouldn''t p someone without a good reason, Gary said firmly, defending her once again.
Wade''s face grew pale with rage. "Fine. I''ll see how long you can protect her.
"Mr. Wade, Kelly pped her for me," Melody stepped forward, taking a deep breath before continuing "We''re refusing to apologize because rissa has malicious intentions. She deliberately tarnished the reputation of our medical team that went to Solmaris on a peacekeeping mission. Not a single word about our aplishments or the hardships we endured-just usations about us bringing back diseases. I know you have a military background, and I trust you don''t blindly listen to one side of the story."
Wade frowned, briefly ncing at rissa.
"Wade, Melody misunderstood. I only mentioned seeing Hannah at a family dinner and talked about the challenges we faced in Solmaris. I didn''t intend to nder anyone," rissa said, her voice trembling as she feigned innocence.
"I don''t know much about the youngdy standing behind you, but I''ve known rissa for a long time," Wade interjected, his tone unwavering. "When I had a heart attack at Grandeur Bites, it was rissa''s quick thinking and bravery that saved my life. If it weren''t for her, I''d probably be dead. She''s smart, kind, and courageous. She''s not the type to have bad intentions."
rissa, standing proudly behind Wade, wore a subtle smirk as she basked in his praise.
Gary nced at Wade before speaking up again. "Apologizing isn''t an option. rissa is also at fault here. From what I know, Kelly is an honest, kind, and brave young woman. Let''s both take a step back and settle this matter without further conflict, shall we?"
Wade snorted, his face twisting in anger. "Gary, do you think I''m some child who can be pacified with a few kind words?"
"Kelly..." Eric, who had been watching the exchange nervously, finally spoke, but his voice was hesitant. He didn''t know where to stand.
"Eric, you know Kelly better than anyone. You know her character. Why don''t you speak up and tell us the truth?" rissa urged, trying to force Eric to take sides.
Eric knew he had to choose, but he also realized that rissa was pushing him into a dangerous position, trying to make him betray Kelly.
"You''re Regina''s husband, aren''t you?" Wade said, turning sharply to Eric. "Why don''t you distance yourself from this woman? Your future will be ruined if you continue down this path!"
Eric''s face drained of color, and he hurried to exin, "Mr. Wade, we''re divorced."
Wade scoffed, eyeing Gary with a sarcastic smile. "Why did you get divorced? Isn''t she supposed to be thi righteous and good person?"
Eric clenched his fists, struggling to find the right words.
Beau, who had been watching the scene unfold, chimed in, warning, "Eric, you''d better tell the truth."
