Kelly stood still for a moment, her mind struggling to catch up with what Zev had just said. A wave of shock and confusion swept over her.

"I asked Gary to look into our parents' history," Zev spoke quietly, his tone measured. "Your parents dedicated their lives to healthcare. They donated a significant amount to medical research, and they even talked about using the money from the heritage house once it was torn down to contribute to the nation's healthcare."

"Zev..." Kelly's voice caught in her throat. She was overwhelmed. She never expected Zev to offer her such unexpected revelations, and it left her speechless.

"Let me finish," Zev said, pulling her close, his hand resting gently on hers. "You've got a lot of money now- not a small sum. But if word gets out, it could cause trouble. You've got to be careful. When people see it, they'll start circling. That's when things could go bad."

Zev wasn't just concerned about Eric; he feared the dangerous consequences of having so much money. People became unpredictable when large sums were at stake.

He was afraid-afraid for her safety.

"You should donate it," Zev suggested, his gaze steady. "Do it publicly. In your parents' name. That way, Eric and anyone behind him will know you don't have the money anymore. They'll see it's gone."

To Zev, everything revolved around her protection.

If Kelly made the donation public, the attention it drew would offer her some protection. She would be praised for her generosity, and her story-her time with the Solmaris peacekeeping force-would be remembered. She would be put back in the spotlight, where her heroism could be recognized.

Anyone thinking of hårming her would hesitate before doing anything.

"But if we do that, we'll be broke," Kelly said, half-laughing, trying to ease the tension. "Don't you think Eric might be right? Life isn't just about dreams and poetry. There's money to think about, too."

"Really? You think I'm a burden?" Zev grinned, teasing her. “I've still got my pension, disability pay, and a bonus coming. When the mission's over, I'll have-"

He stopped himself, almost saying something he hadn't meant to.
