Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 Wade Has Passed

Ken’s voice trembled with emotion. He was trying hard to hold himself together in front of the younger

ones.

Despite this, Kelly could still hear the heartbreak and desperation in him.

The person who understood him best was leaving the world.

After today, there might never be anyone else in the world who could truly understand and forgive Ken again.

Ken had spent his whole life trying to prove his innocence.

Maybe his name had been a poor choice from the start; he was a weakling from the start.

After hanging up the phone, Kelly felt a numbness in her hands and feet as she made her way to the kids bedroom. “Wade’s not going to make it. Caden, if Zev checks in, tell him to get to the hospital right away.”

She knew she needed to stay calm now.

Caden’s face went pale. He began to pace, stamping his feet in place. “Zev didn’t even get to see his parents before they died. If he misses saying goodbye to Wade too-”

He couldn’t finish the sentence.

Choking back tears, he tried calling Zev, but the line didn’t go through–Zev was out in the field and couldn’t answer.

Feeling helpless and useless, Caden collapsed onto the couch. He couldn’t do a thing at a time like this. He felt like a complete failure.

Eventually, he made up his mind. He had to force his brother’s hand. “Sidney! Zev went after Charles, but Wade’s not going to last much longer. If Zev doesn’t get to say goodbye, or if anything happens to him, you’ll never sleep peacefully again, you hear me? We all owe him!”

Caden shouted at Sidney, voice hoarse, almost unhinged.

If it were just about Charles, maybe Sidney wouldn’t have cared. But Zev had gone–he had no choice but to

act.

Whether or not his family had ever been involved in the kidnapping of Sylvester, none of that mattered anymore. Sidney had to make a choice now. He had to stand with Zev.

Even if it meant turning his back on the others.

Or dragging the entire family down with him.

“We owe him. And we’re going to pay that debt. Don’t start with me about how it’s all the old folks‘ fault and has nothing to do with us. Don’t tell me that you don’t want to drag the whole family down with this–don’t pretend like you’re protecting me. I’m already in this mess, and now you’re not getting out of it ei Caden’s temper flared. He didn’t even give Sidney a chance to argue.

Sidney was silent for a long time. Then he sighed. “Got it. Zev will be okay.”

That was a promise, and Sidney didn’t make promises lightly.

Chapter 396 Wade Has Passed

Seaville Hospital.

When Kelly arrived, Wade had just been wheeled out of the emergency room.

Kelly’s supervisor shook his head at her.

Clearly, there was nothing more they could do.

This time, there was no saving Wade.

“Let’s all go in and say goodbye,” the supervisor said softly.

In the hospital room, Ken stood beside the bed, his back hunched and sorrowful.

Wade was too weak to open his eyes, but he was still holding on. He wanted to see his grandson one last time.

“Great–Grandpa.” Kelly gently led Shane and Jasper into the room.

The boys didn’t fully understand death, but they could feel the heaviness in the air.

Jasper rubbed his swollen eyes and leaned on the bedside. “Great–Grandpa,” he whispered.

Shane’s eyes were red. He looked up at Kelly. “Mom, what’s wrong with Great–Grandpa?”

“Great–Grandpa’s tired,” she said softly. “He wants to rest now.”

Shane nodded, then quietly walked to the bedside and held Wade’s hand. “Great–Grandpa, have a good rest.”

Wade smiled at him. He used the last of his strength to squeeze their hands gently.

His gaze stayed fixed on the doorway.

He was waiting for Zev.

His grandson. The one person he had felt most guilty about in his entire life.

Kelly bowed her head, anxiously waited, and silently prayed.

Praying that Zev would make it in time. That he could see his grandfather one last time.

“Sylvester!

“Helena!”

Maybe in the moments before death, the mind starts showing you the people you’ve longed to see.

“You’ll be with them soon,” Ken said hoarsely.

Wade smiled again.

Still watching the door, he smiled.

Ken looked toward the door too. Maybe, deep down, he wanted to believe that souls really did exist after all,

“Grandpa!”

Just before Wade took his last breath, Zev arrived.

He hadn’t even changed out of his field gear. His clothes were dirty, and his face was scratched up.
