“Kelly, why don’t you take a few more days to rest?” Darren suggested when he noticed her walking into the office. “Melody’s already applied to return, so the team is back together. Now I can finally sleep well and even enjoy an extra meal!”

Kelly chuckled. “Now that Dr. Chasey is the director, we don’t have to worry about unfair treatment anymore.”

“It’s such a relief. I heard Beau got kicked out,” Darren said excitedly. “That’s all thanks to you!”

He flashed her a thumbs–up.

Kelly focused on sorting through her documents. She wasn’t seeing patients today, so she needed to prepare for consultations. “Things will only improve from now on. You should seriously consider whether you want to go on a peacekeeping mission.”

Darren glanced around and then declared, “Kelly, if you go, I’m going too–unless the whole team decides against it. I have to watch your back.”

He patted his chest in determination. “I promised Michael that if he wasn’t around, I’d be the one to protect you.”

Kelly’s hand froze as she organized the papers. Michael–his name alone still brought a dull ache to her heart.

“I’m sorry, Kelly. I didn’t mean to bring him up.” Darren immediately regretted his words, wishing he could slap himself.

Before he could say anything more, a knock on the office door interrupted them.

Eric stood at the entrance, his expression sour as he locked eyes with Kelly. “We need to talk.”

Darren shot him a glare. “You’ve got some nerve showing up here! What’s there to discuss?”

Eric had been struggling lately. With Beau gone, the hospital felt like an entirely different place. The people who once flattered him now treated him with disdain, making each day harder than the last.

Unable to handle the drastic shift, he clung tightly to the Lynches for support.

“Kelly, we need to talk,” Eric said, completely ignoring Darren.

Kelly glanced at Darren and said, “You have patients to see, don’t you? Go do your job. He wouldn’t dare try anything here.”

Darren glared at Eric, shoved him aside, and stormed out, leaving just the two of them in the office.

Eric stepped closer and lowered his voice. “Kelly, what’s the meaning of those posts on your social media? Are you doing this just to provoke me?”

His voice was rough, his hands balled into fists, and his eyes burned red with emotion. Every time he saw Kelly flaunt her relationship online, it felt like a knife twisting in his gut.

“Love” Kelly let out a cold laugh. “Tell me, where is this so–called love? Was it love when you had me locked away in a mental institution and tried to kill me? Or when you took advantage of my family’s downfall, seizing our assets while my parents died without reason?”

Her words left Eric momentarily speechless. After a long pause, he finally said, “I did it all for your sake.”

“For my sake?” Kelly’s eyes narrowed as she scoffed. “And yet, you had a second child with Regina? Do you still think you can say that with a straight face? What does she mean to you, then?”

“Kelly, I knew it. You posted those things just to get a reaction out of me, didn’t you?” Eric asked, his voice laced with unease. “Regina and I aren’t real. It’s just an act. I don’t love her–I only need the Lynches‘ support. Besides, she had to get pregnant to qualify for parole.”

Kelly sneered. “Oh? Is that all? Anything else you’d like to confess?”

Before Eric could respond, Kelly had already sent voice messages to Regina. “I added Regina today. She accepted my request. What a coincidence–she’ll be hearing every word you just said.”

“Kelly!” Eric clenched his fists, glaring at her, but then forced himself to stay calm. “Do we need to be at each other’s throats like this?”
