Chapter 471 Ken and Patrick Die Together?

Zev had been away for nearly two weeks. Initially, he was still reachable, but as time passed, it became harder to contact him due to his mission.

Cecil regained consciousness in a hospital, and Kelly visited him. The first thing he asked was whether Zev had died.

Kelly found Cecil's way of speaking rather unpleasant, so after leaving his meal, she walked away without a word.

Cecil grinned as he offered an apology, but Kelly paid him no attention.

She wasn't truly upset with him. Cecil had grown up as an orphan and had mastered the art of masking his pain with a façade.

Yet deep inside, he feared that Kelly might be the same, someone who put on a brave front.

More than anything, he worried that if Zev encountered any danger during his mission, Kelly wouldn't be able to bear it.

That's why, whenever she visited, even though he knew it would irritate her, he would still jokingly ask, "Is Zev dead?"

His words were always laced with sharpness and sarcasm, a defense method he had developed... a way to shield himself from pain.

By bracing for the worst beforehand, he believed he could keep his emotions in check when the tragedy actually occurred.

Throughout his time at Solmaris, he had watched teammates die right before his eyes, yet he couldn't shed a single tear. He had seen strangers die, yet no sorrow surfaced in him, so he had learned to mask everything behind cutting words and a careless demeanor.

"Kelly, if Zev dies, why don't you marry me instead?" Cecil quipped with a smirk when she brought him another meal.

Kelly stood by the window, her eyes reddened as she glared at him. She was obviously furious.

Cecil froze, realizing that he had probably taken the joke too far this time.

He wanted to say sorry but couldn't bring himself to utter the words, so he simply lowered his head in guilt.

It was a matter of life and death. Only he truly understood how dangerous this mission was, If Zev hadn't stopped Patrick in Seaville and let him flee to another region-or worse, escape across the border, the entire mission would have been ruined.

dib "Get some rest," Kelly said instead of scolding him. Checking the time, she added, "Zev is going to be fine. No one's going to die. Stop worrying

Cecil was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to not only overlook his harsh words but also try to ease his anxiety.

Kelly seemed to realize that beneath his sharp tongue, he wasn't trying to be cruel, he was just more afraid than anyone else of this mission ending in failure.
