At Scaville Hospital, Kelly finally managed to get Zev to stay home, allowing her to head to the hospital by herself.

Although she was still on leave, she wanted to meet up with Darren and Melody.

"Are you both free tonight?" Kelly messaged in a group chat with Darren and Melody.

Darren had been reassigned to the emergency room after a period of being sidelined. Even though he had returned as a hero, his situation hadn't improved. He was swamped with work, barely managing to squeeze in a meal now and then.

Melody, on the other hand, had strong backing from the Wagners, and Irene had personally interceded for her. At the hospital, she received the best treatment.

Kelly didn't quite understand why Melody, with all her advantages, still chose to take such risks. Though she wasn't heading to Solmaris, other regions like Oasisvale, which had experienced their share of conflicts, were just as dangerous. Lucas was still on the run, probably hiding somewhere, making it dangerous to leave.

"I worked the night shift, and I'm about to collapse. My department head seems to have gone crazy and told me to cover him today," Darren typed, clearly frustrated.

"You can say no if you need to," Kelly suggested.

Darren replied with a meme, sighing. "Ever since we came back from Solmaris, it feels like Beau's people are always on our case. Melody's fine, though-she has the Wagners behind her."

Melody replied, "Anyone who wants the Wagners' support can have it."

Kelly thought for a moment before typing a reply. "How about 6:30 p.m. tonight? I booked a private room at the barbecue place across from the hospital. I'll wait for you both."

Darren wrote back, "Sounds good. I'll be there at 6:30 p.m. Don't pay for anything, though-I'll cover the bill after."
