"Grandpa, did you hire a tabloid photographer for this?" Zev sneered, tearing the photo into pieces and tossing it into the trash. "If you''re so bored, why not have some tea or take a walk instead of spying on my
wife?"
Wade was fuming. He nced around Zev''s living space with obvious disdain. "Even the bathroom at Lockhart Mansion is bigger than this! I built an empire for you to enjoy, yet you choose to live in a ce like this with some random woman?"
Zev frowned, visibly displeased. “Grandpa, Kelly is my wife. I have my responsibilities and obligations. Stay out of it and just leave."
He pushed Wade toward the door. "And for the record, Kelly isn''t ''some random woman. If it weren''t for her, I''d be dead ten times over in Solmaris."
Wade paused, momentarily caught off guard. "You need to separate gratitude from reality. She''s not the kind of woman you can build a life with. Look at her- she''s still hung up on her ex.
"Her ex is a piece of trash. You''re overthinking things. Just stay out of our business." Zev kept pushing Wade toward the exit.
Wade was beyond frustrated. "I came all the way here, and you won''t even offer me a ss of water?"
He had missed Zev. The real reason he came was to check on him.
Zev sighed. "What''s so special about the water in my ''bathroom''? I''ve got things to do-I need to pick up my wife."
Right now, he was dying to rush to the hospital and make it crystal clear to Eric that Kelly was his.
"You''re pathetic! No matter how rebellious you want to be, you can''t marry a divorced woman!" Wade barked, refusing to leave.
He was furious at Zev, but seeing the scars covering his corbone, fingers, and even the parts of his legs that were exposed made his chest tighten.
He had spent his whole life building a legacy so his family could live infort, yet none of them ever made things easy. Every single one insisted on running straight into danger.
"So what if she''s divorced? When Grandma married you, you''d just gotten out of a divorce. She didn''t hold it against you, and you were ''second-hand'' too," Zev muttered as he changed his clothes.
"That''spletely different! Men and women aren''t the same! A man is the head of the household-no one cares if he''s been married before. But for a woman, being divorced carries a bad reputation-" Wade started lecturing with his outdated beliefs.
He spoke as if being a man was some grand achievement.
"Oh, in that case, I''ll just marry into her family instead," Zev said, slipping on his shoes and making a run for the door, clearly not taking Wade seriously.
"Stop right there! Your legs are still injured-why are you running?" Wade shouted, chasing after him.

Gary''s voice stopped him in his tracks. Wade''s expression darkened, and he let out a cold snort before turning to Gary. "Look at what you''ve done. I entrusted my grandson to you, and now he''se back covered in scars!"
"This was Zev''s choice," Gary said in a deep voice.
Wade''s face soured. "His name is Zion. He''s my grandson-my only heir
Gary remained silent.
"I''ve already spoken to your superiors. I only have one grandson, and I won''t allow him to keep putting his life on the line. When the timees, he must retire and return home to help with thepany," Wade stated firmly. Zev had to leave the military-there was no room for debate.
Gary frowned as he looked at Wade. "He''s an adult. He has his own choices to make and responsibilities to fulfill. I''d appreciate it if you didn''t interfere too much."
"Sometimes, I wonder if you''re his uncle. Do you just not want to see him do well? You and your sister are the same-you never want anything good for the Lockharts!" Wade''s face turned pale with anger as he pointed at Gary. "No wonder you defended that ill-mannered woman, Kelly, the other day! As his uncle, how could you stand by and let him marry such a scheming, divorced woman?"
"Kelly''s character is beyond reproach. She''s a far better person than rissa. You have terrible judgment when ites to people, so maybe you should stay out of the younger generation''s marriages," Gary snapped.
Wade was just as furious. "rissa is the wife I chose for him! She''s the perfect match-she can help him with thepany. Besides, she''s carrying his child. He has to marry her! You need to make him divorce Kelly immediately-she is not fit to marry into our family!"
"You are hopeless!" Gary spun around and mmed the door behind him.
Wade trembled with rage. They were allpletely unreasonable.
At Seaville Hospital, Faye had fallen asleep after receiving an IV. She had a fever
that night, but it never went above 102°F and soon subsided.
"Kelly, thank you for taking care of Faye." Eric handed Kelly ate-night snack, his voice gentle, "The room is quiet now-it''s a good chance for us to talk."
"There''s nothing for us to talk about," Kelly replied coldly.
"Kelly, aren''t you taking care of Faye because you''re trying to get back on my good side? When are you going to stop being so stubborn? I knew from the start that your marriage with Zev wouldn''tst. It''s only a matter of time before you two divorce," Eric said confidently as if her separation from Zev was inevitable.
When Kelly didn''t respond, Eric assumed her silence meant agreement. He stepped forward, reaching out to embrace her. "Kelly, I''ve been miserable without you. And you-posting those stories just to get a reaction out of me ..."
The hospital room door suddenly swung open. Zev stood in the doorway, his expression dark and cold.
