“It’s impossible. She couldn’t have donated everything. I’m going to see her!” Eric snapped, spinning on his heel and rushing out the door, intent on confronting Kelly.

His frustration was building.

How could she give away that money without his approval?

Half of it was his, even if it had gone through legal channels.

What right did Kelly have to make that call on her own?

At Kelly’s apartment …

After a restless night, she was up early, handling the massive donation. The amount was so large that it took a while for them to verify the source. Once everything was confirmed, she found herself swarmed by reporters eager for interviews.

One of the researchers from the institute told her that the news had spread. The higher–ups were already aware of her actions. Now, everyone knew what she had done.

Kelly had become the town’s latest sensation.

But this was far from the kind of attention she wanted.

She hadn’t done it for the spotlight. It was just a statement to Beau.

“Honey, drink some milk,” Zev said, limping toward her, his crutch supporting his injured leg. He was putting more weight on it, though he still moved with a noticeable limp.

Kelly lay in bed, drained from the night, not wanting to move. She just wanted to sleep. “Don’t bother me.”

She shot him a warning glance, but Zev didn’t seem to care.

He was lively, the opposite of the ‘handicapped‘ man who had kept her up all night.

“Honey, does your back hurt?” Zev asked, setting the milk down before starting to rub her lower back.

Her waist was so delicate.

Last night… he had held her so easily. It had been overwhelming.

Kelly didn’t say anything, allowing him to continue.

The massage felt good at first, but soon, it shifted.

Zev’s hand began to wander.

“Zev, if you don’t get your hands off me, I’ll break them,” Kelly warned, her voice tight with frustration.

Chapter 135 in His Place

Suddenly, there was a sharp knocking at the door

Zev froze, irritation flashing across his face as he looked at the door

They were in a military district. The only person who could be at the door was Gary

And if it was Gary, it had better be for a good reason.

Grinding his teeth, Zev hobbled toward the door, his crutch tapping against the floor

Kelly shot up from the bed, her senses alert as she moved toward the door.

She wasn’t surprised to find Gary standing outside.

He gave her a quick look before asking, “You donated all that money to the research institute? You didn’t keep any for yourself?”

“Yeah, it’s all gone,” Kelly answered with a nod. “If I kept it, it’d only cause trouble.

Gary exhaled sharply, then glanced at Zev. “You. Go back inside. I need to talk to your wife.

Zev stiffened. “Who are you? Why would I let you talk to her?”

Zev was still playing tough, despite the situation.

Gary, knowing Zev’s memory was still unclear, didn’t waste time with pointless arguments. “Kelly, this is serious. We need to talk.”

Kelly gave Zev a quick pat. “Go back to the room.”

Zev hesitated, confusion flashing across his face.

He had no idea why Gary needed to speak with Kelly, but seeing no real threat, he reluctantly retreated into the room.

Once Zev was out of earshot, Gary lowered his voice. “I’ve got the list of the medical team heading to the hospital. Are you sure about this? Have you really thought it through?”

Kelly met his gaze. “I’ve made up my mind, Mr. Wagner. We discussed this already. I’ll be taking Zev’s place in the next phase.”

Gary fell silent, his thoughts heavy. “I agreed to this thinking Zev wouldn’t come back. But now… he’s up and walking. He made it through the worst. If I send you in his place, how do I explain that to him?”

He was stuck.

If Zev found out, it could destroy everything.

“A promise is a promise,” Kelly said quietly. “You gave your word. You can’t back out now. We’ll keep it from

him.”

Gary rubbed his forehead, clearly troubled. “After your last mission, nobody at the hospital wants to join the peacekeeping force. But guess who I found on the list?”

“Melody and Darren.”

Kelly’s eyes widened. Melody and Darren had signed up too?

The list was supposed to be confidential. So Melody had kept it hidden, even from her friends,
