Chapter 260 Cecil Spared Zev


    In the hotel room.


    Jasper was asleep, and Kelly sat by the bed, watching Zey unt himself like a peacock.


    "Can you put a shirt on?" she asked, exasperated.


    Zev proudly wiped his damp hair. "Honey, don''t you think I''ve gotten more bufftely?"


    He was obsessed with his own physique.

    It was probably the time spent bedridden that had caused so much muscle loss, which scared him.


    "You have a solid foundation, and you eat well. Of course, you''re recovering fast," Kelly said as she stood up, reaching out to gently touch the scar on his chest.


    That gunshot... must have been painful, right?


    "Cecil''s aim is scary good," Zev muttered.


    He rarely acknowledged anyone''s skill.


    But Cecil was an exception.


    Kelly, of course, knew just how deadly Cecil''s marksmanship was.


    Back in Solmaris, Lucas''s men were alwayspeting in marksmanship, and both Zev and Cecil had left everyone in awe with their skills.


    Cecil was never any worse than Zev.


    With marksmanship that precise, there was no way he had missed the heart by ident.


    "He spared you on purpose?" Kelly asked softly.


    She still remembered what Cecil had said in Oasisvale, that he could still leave him a way out.


    At first, Kelly had assumed he was talking about Jasper.


    Looking back now, the way out he gave Zev was the chance to survive.


    "Maybe," Zev murmured, pulling Kelly into his arms.


    He sneakily nced at their son, making sure Jasper was still asleep, then leaned down and kissed her.


    Kelly froze for a second before nervously pushing him away. "Stop being so flirty... Jasper just fell asleep."


    Zey didn''t care. H scooped her up and headed straight for the bathroom. "I''ll be gentle. Keep your voice down..."


    "Do you have no shame?" Kelly''s cars burned red.


    Being with someone this shameless, dignity was out of the question.

    Zev''s breath was warm a he kissed her ear. "Ever since this little guy showed up anymore."


    Are you seriously jealous of our son?" Kelly sighed with a helpless smile.

    ...


    you don''t love me


    As he pulled at her clothes, her back pressed against the cold bathroom tiles, making her instinctively shrink into his arms.


    Zev looked down at her. "Honey ...


    "Be serious, hurry up-


    Just as Kelly was about to tell Zev to hurry up and get it over with, the sound of a vibrating phone came from outside.


    They''d put their phones on silent so they wouldn''t wake Jasper, but the phones could still vibrate.


    "Go check who it is. What if ... "Kelly started, trying to nudge him away.


    Zev didn''t care. He was too caught up in the moment. Even if there were an earthquake, he wasn''t going anywhere.


    "Zev ..."


    Kelly gasped, biting her finger in frustration.


    This man is so shameless!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Just as the phone stopped vibrating, loud knocks


    ded at the door.


    Kelly held back augh, watching Zev''s expression darken in frustration.


    "Mommy..."


    Jasper''s cries filled the room-he had woken up from the noise.


    Kelly smiled, pushing Zev away as she grabbed her clothes. "If you can''t calm down, go take a cold shower."


    Kelly thoughtfully closed the bathroom door for Zev.


    Zev''s face darkened as he kicked the toilet in frustration.


    The smart toilet immediately started flushing.


    Kelly, on the other hand, gentlyforted Jasper. "I''m here. Don''t cry." She held


    him close before opening


    the door.


    Outside stood Wade''s assistant, looking anxious as he peered inside.


    "Where''s Mr. Zion? Shane has a high fever and having seizures. It''s an emergency. Mr. Zion needs to go with Ms. rissa to the hospital!"


    He even sounded impatient treating Kelly without any pe

    mistress of the Lockhart Group, while Kelly was just an insignificant mistress. Kelly frowned, her voice low. "Zev isn''t a doctor, and he doesn''t know first aid. What''s the point of calling him?"


    "Kelly, don''t be so heartless! Shane is also Mr. Zion''s son! Or do you think you can have him all to yourself?" the assistant snapped. "Get Mr. Zion out here now! If anything happens to Shane because of the dy, can you take responsibility?" Kelly let out a coldugh. "He''s my husband. We''re legally married. ''Have him all to myself"? Were you raised without parents or just without manners?" Then, she mmed the door shut.


    Bang! The assistant pounded on the door in frustration. "Kelly, get Mr. Zion out here right now!"


    Ignoring him, Kelly settled back on the bed with Jasper and picked up the phone to call the hotel front desk. "What''s going on with your security? There''s a dog barking in the corridor, disturbing our rest."


    The hotel manager arrived quickly.


    Even if the man outside was Wade''s assistant, he still had to respect the hotel''s quiet policy.


    Zev stepped out of the bathroom, still dripping from his cold shower. "Honey, what''s going on?"


    "Shane has a high fever. They want you to go with them to the hospital," Kelly replied.


    Zev frowned. "I''m not a doctor."


    "You stay with Jasper. I''ll go check it out." Kelly had no doubt that rissa''s real goal was to lure Zev over.


    But whether the child was truly sick or not, Kelly needed to see for herself.


    After all, she was a doctor.
