Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388 Kelly’s Car Crash

Zev’s eyes darkened as he stared at Shawn. “I’m warning you one more time–whatever game yeni want to play, I’ll play it with you. But Kelly is where I draw the line.

Kelly came out of the kitchen with pasta. “Let it cool down a bit before eating. Don’t drink cold water, either Try to keep things warm–not too hot, not too cold. Your stomach’s still sensitive.

“Thanks.” Shawn’s expression changed instantly. His eyes were red, and he walked over like he might collapse at any second.

Kelly hurried to support him. “The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. Eat something and then get some sleep.

Shawn nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. “I know Zion doesn’t like me; I apologize for being a burden. He’s always had a sharp tongue, but I don’t let it bother me.”

Kelly frowned, shooting a glare at Zev that was sharp enough to cut glass. “Zev, what nonsense have you been telling the patient?”

Zev looked shocked. Honestly, Shawn was something else–an actor through and through.

“If this guy doesn’t win an Oscar, the world’s missing out.” A second ago, he looked ready to destroy the world. Now, in front of Kelly, he looked fragile and miserable.

“Just shut up.” Kelly scolded him. “Come home with me. Stop bothering someone who needs to rest.”

She grabbed Zev’s arm, trying to drag him out.

But suddenly, Shawn started gagging and rushed toward the restroom.

“What? Is she pregnant now?” Zev snapped, clearly annoyed.

“It’s just the side effects of the anesthesia–it upsets the stomach.” Kelly shot him another look before hurrying after Shawn. “Are you okay?”

Tears were streaming down Shawn’s face now as he looked up at her with red eyes. “I feel a little dizzy. Could you please stay with me a little longer?“,

Kelly nodded gently. “Of course.”

“I’ll help him walk–come on, we wouldn’t want the expecting mother to trip,” Zev muttered sarcastically, squeezing in beside them.

“Zion, don’t you have something else to do? If I’m in your shoes, maybe I should be home taking care of the kids, helping Kelly out, instead of hanging around saying petty things,” Shawn sighed, glancing at Kelly with a look of pity. “You look exhausted, Kelly. Taking care of Jasper and Shane is tiring enough, and you’ve got to take care of Zion too. He’s just another overgrown child.”

Kelly froze, feeling awkward. That comment was a little too on the nose–so pointed, it almost made her laugh.

But she held it in. “Zev, go home.”

Zev looked at her, clearly upset. “I’m not leaving.”

“Go now!” Kelly lifted her chin and warned him,

“No way. I’m staying,” Zev insisted.

Shawn didn’t press it. He’d known Zev wouldn’t leave. That was the point–he’d said it to get under the skin’s

Since Zev refused to Budge, Kelly didn’t argue any further.

Once Shawn had finished the pasta and gone to rest, Kelly finally dragged the stormy–faced Zev outside.

“Zev, the stupidest thing you ever did was drag Kelly into your family mess, Shawn called from the bedroom doorway as she left. “You’re such a fool. The few times you do something smart, everyone assumes it was Kelly’s idea. Without her, you’d be an easy–to–manipulate puppet.”

Zev turned, brows furrowed. “What are you trying to say?”

“You’ve made her a target. There are people who want to keep you clueless–and when someone tries to make you smarter, like Kelly, that’s when it gets dangerous. Being with you puts her at risk, Shawn warned again.

He hadn’t planned on saying this. If Zev couldn’t protect Kelly, Shawn had hoped to step in and take his place.

But now he couldn’t gamble with her safety. He was worried Kelly would get hurt.

Kelly was no longer a chess piece for him.

She mattered, and he didn’t just use her all this while.

Zev stood there, frowning, silently processing Shawn’s words.

Shawn definitely knew something–but he wasn’t telling.

For Zev, none of Lockhart Group’s power or wealth really mattered. The only thing he truly cared about was Kelly.

And clearly, Shawn’s words had shaken him.

He had played the fool for so long, letting everyone think Kelly was the real brain behind him.

And in a way, that had put her right in the crossfire.

“Zev, let’s go.” Kelly pulled up to the front door, rolled down the window, and called out to him.

Zev gave Shawn one last look before he walked away.

“What’s on your mind?” Kelly asked once he got in the car and suddenly found the situation hilarious. “Weren’t you just full of sass back there? Why so quiet now?”
