Hubby 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.
