Kelly stood silently by Zev's side, quietly offering him comfort with her presence.

The doctors had already left. The head nurse held out the death certificate for Zev to sign.

He stood frozen, raising his hand twice but unable to grasp the pen.

The assistant and Ken had already dressed Wade in his funeral attire-everything had been prepared.

They both turned to Zev, waiting for his nod of approval before moving the body to the funeral parlor.

"Mr. Zion, Mr. Wade said before he passed that he wanted things simple. No big show. Just let those who want to come and say goodbye... come," the assistant said, voice trembling.

Zev gave a nod. And with that, the assistant and Ken wheeled Wade away.

"Ms. Lynch, it's a sensitive day. Unless there's something urgent, you should go home," Ken said, his voice low and firm.

Clarissa narrowed her eyes at him, full of resentment, then scoffed and turned to Caden. She reached out her hand toward Shane. "Come home with Mommy, sweetheart."
