Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 366 Take Away

"She probably wouldn't dare come after you, Kelly said honestly. Unlike Zev, Caden's reputation in their circles was far from clean. Clarissa had carefully researched and planned her target before setting her sights on Zev.

She chose him because he had spent most of his years in the military, had little experience with the outside world, and led a relatively simple life-making him easier to manipulate.

Caden, on the other hand, had a worse reputation, a fiercely protective brother, Sidney, and no real power in the Hardison Group. All the company shares were under Sidney's control.

Simply put, Caden was a rich second-generation heir who could live a carefree life under his brother's wing-but he was not the kind of wealthy heir Clarissa was after.

"I'm hurt..." Caden fake-sobbed over the phone.

He couldn't believe Zev ranked higher than him in terms of usefulness.noveldrama

Kelly chuckled. "Well, in a way, that's a good thing."

Caden continued cursing Clarissa under his breath before hanging up. Just as Kelly was about to head back to her office, she unexpectedly ran into Shawn.

She hadn't expected to see him at the hospital.

"What a coincidence. Are you here for a check-up?" Kelly greeted him first.

Shawn smiled at her. "Yeah, I just got to Seaville not too long ago. I'm still not familiar with the healthcare system here. I'm feeling a little unwell-can I see you for a consultation?"

It was obvious he wasn't here because he didn't understand the medical system. He just wanted an excuse to see her.

As the CEO of a publicly traded company, even if he was unfamiliar with the local healthcare setup, he would have private doctors on call. There was no reason for him to come looking specifically for Kelly.

Kelly hesitated for a moment, trying to be tactful. "Are you sure?"

"Are you too busy?" Shawn looked at her, a little hurt.

"No, that's not it. I am a doctor, and if it's within my specialty, I'd be happy to help. But I specialize in infectious diseases-most of my cases involve contagious illnesses and STDs. Are you sure that's what you need help with?"

Shawn was stunned for a moment before coughing twice. "Uh, no, nothing like that. I've just been having. some digestive issues ... A bit of a loss of appetite.”

"Then you need to see a gastroenterologist. I'll take you there." Kelly smiled. Since she had some free time, she figured she might as well see/what Shawn was really up to.

"How have you been lately, Kelly?" Shawn asked casually as they walked. "Not bad. My routine is just hospital and home, that's all." Kelly smiled.

"Is Zev treating you well? I heard he'd rather stay at a hotel or his office than go home." Shawn lowered his voice as if he were standing up for her. "People like us —sure, we're busy, and life at the top can be exhausting. But at the end of the day, life matters. If it were me, I'd say nothing is more important than family."

Kelly felt incredibly awkward inside, but she couldn't let it show.

Shawn was practically stepping all over Zev at this point.

It was as if Shawn was saying, "Sure, I've just taken over the company, and it's exhausting and busy, but I'm a family-oriented guy. Unlike Zev, who only focuses on work and even chooses to live at the office."

Shawn's emotional intelligence was quite high. Seeing Kelly go silent and look down, he knew to stop pushing. He understood that breaking up someone's relationship couldn't be rushed-it had to be done patiently, little by little. If he kept speaking badly about Zev in front of Kelly, she might eventually start to see him in a negative light.

"I've booked you an appointment with a specialist. Just keep an eye on the screen, and when it's your turn, go ahead," Kelly said as she helped Shawn check in. It was almost time to finish work, and most of the patients had already been

seen.

Shawn looked at Kelly. "Kelly, I'm a little scared. I used to get sick a lot when I was younger, and I've always hated going to the hospital. I'm only here today because I worked up the courage to come see you. Will you stay with me?"

Kelly couldn't help but admire his acting skills.

"All right, I'll wait for you here," Kelly nodded.

Shawn smiled and took a seat next to her on the bench, waiting for his name to be called. "By the way, my dad called to say Uncle Gary is coming back tonight. Zev will be there with the family for a gathering. After you're done here, you can ride with me, and we can head there together."

Kelly thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay!

Finally, it was Shawn's turn to see the doctor.

Kelly quickly texted Zev. "Shawn came to the hospital to see me. After the whole Lynches and fire incident, he's been keeping a low profile, but now it looks like he's making his next move."

"Get away from him right now," Zev texted back, using an angry emoji. "He's just a hypocrite."

Zev was certain that Shawn only wanted to take Kelly away from him.

Kelly chuckled and replied, "I heard we're going to Uncle Patrick's for dinner tonight. I'll be riding with him."

"No way!" Zev texted back, furious, "Honey, I'm sorry. I'll pick you up as soon as my meeting's done."

He followed up with a pitiful emoji. "I admit, the company's been crazy busy lately. I've been reflecting, and I know I messed up. I shouldn't have stolen the covers last night. I shouldn't have put sugar in your milk this morning, and I definitely shouldn't have added so much salt when I cooked. I shouldn't have lain in bed without taking a shower."

It seemed like Zev was reflecting on every mistake he'd made over the past year.

Kelly laughed softly and shook her head in resignation. "All right, you focus on work. If he wants to try to win me over, let him. But I still need to figure out what his next move is.

Shawn was clever-he was here to test Kelly.

Well, Kelly could test him right back.
