His hand hovered near the door, hesitating. Just as he was about to knock...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calm voice startled him. Jay turned around abruptly, his eyes widening in surprise as he saw Kael standing there. \"You...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael exhaled slowly, his expression unreadable. \"It’s not a good time,\" she said. \"They’re... occupied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint pause followed before he added, \"Very occupied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay blinked, then let out a small, awkward laugh. \"Honestly... I didn’t want to interrupt them either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile faded slightly. \"But this is important. If I don’t stop Ember... she might do something reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael frowned. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay gestured toward the dining area. \"Come... I’ll explain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing everything, Kael fell silent, his fingers tapping lightly against the table as he processed his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, neither of them spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sighed softly. \"For now... I think Ember is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay shot him a sharp look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael raised his hands slightly. \"Not because I’m blindly supporting her,\" he clarified. \"But because you both need proper confirmation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back slightly, his voice turning more serious. \"Consult a doctor. Get everything checked thoroughly before making a final decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay’s expression darkened slightly, but Kael continued before he could argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand you,\" he said, his tone softer now. \"I really do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at him meaningfully. \"But sometimes... what we think is the safest choice isn’t what our partner wants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze lowered briefly. \"And sometimes... they choose something completely different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay froze slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha’s situation flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael exhaled slowly. \"If I have to give you one answer... then support her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at him again. \"If something goes wrong, you’re not alone. There are people who will help both of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice softened. \"So don’t carry everything on your shoulders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay’s expression eased slightly, and after a moment, he gave a small nod. \"I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned, he agreed to Ember’s decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went for a medical checkup together. Ember’s fingers were tightly intertwined with his, her grip filled with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the report came... everything shattered. Her eyes scanned the paper, her breath hitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words were clear. Her body... wouldn’t be able to handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not now. Not after everything she had been through. If she continued... it could cause severe, irreversible damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember froze. Then slowly, her world crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\" she whispered, her voice breaking. \"This... this can’t be right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands trembled as she clutched the report. \"It’s just numbers... we can fix this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Jay desperately. \"We can ask Alana... she can heal me more. It’ll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay shook his head gently, his expression pained. That silent refusal...broke something inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, she turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay didn’t stop her. ’She just needs time...’ he told himself, though unease gnawed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when night fell...and he returned home... Ember wasn’t there. At first, he thought she might have gone to Helena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she wasn’t there either. A cold dread crept into his chest. He searched everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every room. Every corridor. Every familiar place. But she was nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew uneven. ’Where did she go...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic set in. He informed everyone immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they heard what had happened, the argument, the pregnancy, reactions were mixed. Some were surprised, even happy for a fleeting moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that happiness quickly faded, replaced by worry. Fear. Without wasting time, everyone began searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy stepped forward, her expression turning serious as she activated her sensing ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later...her eyes opened. \"I found her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember... was at her best friend’s house. At Pearl’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, amidst everything that had happened, Ember and Pearl had grown close, closer than anyone had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now... that was where Ember had gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Pearl had a child, Ember often found herself visiting more frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Ivy had always assumed it was simple, that Ember just loved children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, knowing everything... seeing Ember sitting alone in Pearl’s house... Ivy couldn’t shake the feeling that it meant something deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivy and the others arrived, the door opened almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pearl’s husband, Keith, stood there, his expression calm yet heavy, as if he had already expected their arrival. He gave a small nod, stepping aside without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they entered, the faint scent of baby powder and warm milk lingered in the air, soft and comforting, yet today, it only made everything feel more fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes landed on Ember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat beside a cradle, gently cradling the baby in her arms, rocking him slowly as she patted his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child’s soft cries filled the room, uneven and fragile, and Ember’s movements were careful, almost reverent, as if she was afraid to hurt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment... no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight stirred something complicated within all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ember noticed their presence, her hands stilled slightly. Her expression fell quiet, her eyes dimming just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying anything, she stood up and carefully handed the baby to Pearl, who sat on the sofa with worry written all over her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go now,\" Ember murmured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pearl hesitated, then nodded, her gaze flickering between Ember and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ember stepped forward, Jay moved to hug her tightly. She didn’t push them away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t return the embrace either. Her arms remained still at her sides, her body stiff, as if she had forgotten how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That silence... Spoke louder than anything else. No one said a word after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they returned to the grand tower, Ivy’s tower, the towering structure stood like a quiet guardian against the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","feac7b2e74037591337032026d0525ce5ae02c2d89d14529557410fed2622cf0","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-618","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-616",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
