Chapter 41 Eric Buys High–Value Insurance for Kelly’s Parents
Finished
“Grandpa, Clarissa’s eyes welled up, and she nervously spoke. “I didn’t mean it that way, I was just scared for a moment.”
Wade turned to Zev. “You’re so reckless. Of course she’s scared. You two should spend some time together and get to know each other. Don’t let such a good girl slip away.”
Zev let out a mocking laugh ‘Grandpa, you’ve lived this long, and you’re still so naive. You can’t even read people”
“Your injuries…” Wade didn’t argue, seeing how badly Zev was hurt.
“I need to go back to the hospital to avoid infection. It’ll take at least three months. Zev said. leaning back in the wheelchair, speaking calmly,
Clarissa let out a quiet breath, feeling some relief. At least… at least he had to return to the hospital. She wasn’t sure how long she could bear to look at that disfigured face.
“Don’t worry. I know many plastic surgeons. You’ll be just fine. Clarissa said softly, holding back her disgust as she tried to
comfort him.
Zev frowned in disgust. A woman like her, so insincere–only this old man would appreciate someone like that.
In comparison, Kelly seemed like a pure white jasmine in Zev’s eyes.
He had never encountered anyone as pure as Kelly, someone who could bloom like an untouched white flower, even in the harshest desent.
“If you can’t go back to the hospital, just stay home for a few days. We have doctors here, Wade said, clearly reluctant.
“Grandpa, you need to follow the rules. You were in the military too. Zev gently reminded Wade.
Wade had no response to that and could only wave his hand. “Alright, alright, I shouldn’t have insisted on you coming back You’re always so secretive. I thought you were just out there having fun.
Add Clarissa’s contact, keep in touch with her, and get to know her. Once you’re out of the hospital, spend some time with. her. I’ve already arranged the marriage for you. When you’re ready, you’ll get married, Wade said domineeringly.
People of his generation were overbearing and patriarchal, believing they had absolute control over family matters, including their grandchildren’s marriages
Zev furrowed his brow, tightening his grip. Grandpa, you’re taking charge of my marriage. But if I die out there, who will marry her after you’ve arranged it? You’re not thinking of remarriage at your age, are you?”
Wade’s face turned pale with anger as he pointed at Zev. “Say that again!”
Zev lazily leaned back in his wheelchair. “I’m asking, Grandpa, are you planning to remarry? This one seems too young for you. It doesn’t match your age!”
Wade raised his hand, about to hit Zev.
He had been domineering all his life, never tolerating anyone defying him–even his own grandson.
In his moment of anger, he forgot that Zey was severely injured.
“Mr. Wade the butler exclaimed, rushing to stop him. “Please, don’t do this. Mr. Zion is badly hurt.
Wade scowled and lowered his hand with a snort. “Don’t think just because you have some military achievements that you’re invincible Clarissa is a good girl, so treat her well!”
Then, he turned and left.

taking a deep breath and cautiously approaching careful not to get too close to Zev
Zey looked at Clarissa, his tone cold. Tve heard that the Lynchs medical division had quite a few malpractice incidents in the past, and after that, the company went downhill. How did you manage to turn things around?”
Clarissa siúiled, looking a bit proud. When I took over the Lynchs Group. I shifted the strategy, focusing more on medical aesthetics and medical equipment”
Your family has that much money” Zev asked, clearly skeptical. The Lynchs, a family with a medical background, are facing bankruptcy–how could they come up with over a hundred million?
