Chapter 18 Shameless as Ever
“You deserve to be single at your age, Zev retorted, ignoring Gary’s threat.
Gary didn’t bicker with Zev and simply turned to Kelly. He was hit by a stray ricochet that fractured his clavicle. Even though it missed any vital gans, he refused treatment and kept running off. As a doctor, you understand the implications of that”
Kelly frowned slightly and lowered her head to look at Zev
Clearly, Gary had realized it too–if anyone could get Zev to belave, it was Kelly
Kelly remained silent, but just that line frown was enough to make Zey surrender. “I promise I won’t run this time… but you have to promise my wife will be safe
Kelly was furious. She immediately signed to Gary, “I am not his wife
Gary didn’t understand and turned to Zey. “What did she say?”
“She said okay, Zev’s lips curled into a smirk..
Kelly was livid. But without a voice to protest, she could only let him get away with it.
Back when they were trapped in that terrorist organization, Zev loved to mess with her like this–taking advantage of the fact that she couldn’t speak
“The video, Kelly signed to Zev.
“He deleted in Zevs face darkened as he looked at Kelly. He should’ve beaten that stand up earlier.
Kelly nodded.
“Well, I saved a copy for you. Keeping it on your phone wasn’t safe Zev reached out, took Kelly’s phone, and deleted the forwarded messages from their chat history.
Kelly watched closely, her expression serious, Pionthedayshavesomanyfeatures.
After live years without using a smartphone, she needed time to adjust.
“You want to find out who betrayed you?” Zev asked.
Kelly nodded firmly.
She owed Mid
anvwer. And she owed herself, and her parents, an answer too.
“That’s a job for the police. You just focus on keeping yourself safe, Zev reminded her.
Kelly lowered her gaze, staying silent.
“Fine. At least wait until I’ve recovered, alright?” Zev sighed,
He understood Kelly too well. If she was determined to do something, nothing could stop her.
Since she was determined to go, he had no choice but to support her
“Taught it in time this time, but what about next time? Zev fixed his gaze on Kelly. “You can’t expect me to keep running out of the hospital for you”
However, Kelly viewed herself as a resilient desert cactus–intelligent, courageous, and capable of enduring any challenge
“She’s trustworthy. And besides, headquarters told us to find a reliable informant. You think I’d volunteer her if I had a choice? Zev scoffed.
“I agree! Kelly signed immediately, anxiously pulling out her phone and typing for Gary to see. “I can cooperate. I’ll assist with the investigation.”
