“What if my hands never fully heal? What if it stays like this for the rest of my life?” Zev’s voice trembled with frustration, his eyes reddened.

Gary wanted to reassure him, but looking at Zev’s scarred, misshapen fissers, he couldn’t bring himself to offer empty promises. The truth was that Zev’s recovery was uncertain.

“I have to go.” Zev insisted, clenching his fists so tightly that his fingers turned pale. “Unless you manage to capture Lucas soon, I won’t wait. If he’s not caught in three months, I’ll go after him myself”

“Zev!”

But Zev ignored him. Without another word, he slammed the door and left.

Standing outside, he didn’t get inside the house right away. His fingers hesitated on the doorknob as he remained still for a long time.

Three months wouldn’t be enough.

Maybe no amount of time would be enough. His hands might never return to what they once were.

But waiting wasn’t an option. Even if his injuries meant he could no longer aim or fire a gun accurately, he had no intention of sitting back any longer.

Lately, he refused to let Kelly go anywhere alone.

They weren’t just watching him. They were watching her, too.

It was his fault–he had exposed himself and put her in danger. Now, he had to fix it, no matter what.

“Ah!”

The door suddenly swung open. Kelly, stepping out with the trash, nearly jumped at the sight of Zev standing there, his red eyes staring blankly ahead.

Pressing a hand to her chest, she glanced up at him, about to ask why he was just standing there. But when she saw the emotion in his gaze, the words caught in her throat.

“Did Gary scold you?” she asked softly.

Zev shook his head and took the trash from her hands. “I’ll take care of it.”

“Just leave it outside for now. Come inside and eat first,” she said, gesturing for him to follow her in.

But he didn’t move.

His head was bowed, his posture stiff–like a child who knew he had done something wrong.

Zev hated himself for dragging Kelly into danger because of his recklessness.

She sighed, reaching for his hand. His fingers were still swollen and stiff, and the sight of them made her heart ache.

The sadness in his eyes deepened. “Honey, can we wait to travel until I’m healed?” His voice was low,

hesitant.

He was afraid that leaving Scaville would only bring more danger. “Just give me a little more time. Three months… No, four months at most.”

By then, he would catch Lucas. He had to.

“I’ll wait,” Kelly said with a nod. “We?

She was lying.

can go when you’re better. There’s no rush–we have plenty of time.”

She said they had time, but in reality, hers was slipping away.

“Yes.” Zev pulled her into an embrace from behind.

Kelly knew he was uneasy, so she let him hold her.

“Kelly…” His voice was hoarse. “If I had died back in Solmaris, would you remember me the way you remember Michael?”

Even after all these years, Michael’s name still escaped her lips in her nightmares.

Her body stiffened, her heart aching at the mention of death.

“Don’t say things like that! If you die, I’ll forget you immediately and marry someone else!” she blurted out, panic creeping into her voice.

She didn’t even know why the thought unsettled her so much.

Zev didn’t reply. He simply smiled.

That was fine too.

“Don’t say such unlucky things again,” Kelly murmured, still feeling a lingering pain in her chest.

He smiled as he apologized, “I was wrong, honey.”

Since Zev refused to go on their trip, Kelly decided to return to the hospital for the time being.

Life had to go on. Work wouldn’t wait.

Besides, Beau was no longer the director.

“Kelly, you’re our hero!”

A chorus of excited voices greeted her as she stepped into the department.

After everything that had happened, the hospital had undergone a massive overhaul. Irene had taken over as director, and the entire system had been restructured. Darren had even been transferred back to the Department of Infectious Diseases.
