Chapter 296 +25 Bonus "Watch out! Falling rocks!" Someone shouted, and Nick turned just in time-his pupils snapping wide. A massive boulder, wrapped in soil and debris, was tumbling down the mountainside! Panic erupted immediately. People scattered in every direction. But directly in the boulder's path, a small girl, no more than seven or eight, had fallen to the ground, paralyzed with fear. She was staring up at the collapsing rocks, completely forgetting to run. "Look out!" The girl was close to Nick. He didn't pause to think. He pivoted instantly and charged back.
"Nick!" Michelle screamed from ahead, turning just in time to witness the scene, her face drained of color. "Sir!" Lenny froze in shock. Yet, in the face of this sudden disaster, fear overwhelmed him, paralyzing him from taking even a single step forward. The other bodyguards and bystanders were the same. Everyone saw the little girl, but only Nick moved without hesitation. Amid the thunderous roar of the falling rock, he scooped the girl tightly into his arms, using his back as a shield, and lunged to the side with all his strength. A deafening crash shook the earth.

The jagged boulder grazed Nick's side before smashing into the ground, sending shards of rock flying like bullets against his body. The impact blackened his vision. He hit the ground hard, the girl still in his arms. Pain surged through every nerve and sinew. Warm blood trickled from his temple, blurring his sight. He could feel his ribs might be broken, each breath ripping through him like knives, "Mr. Hunt!" Through the cloud of dust, Lenny and the bodyguards rushed forward, clawing at smaller rocks atop him. The little girl, cradled in Nick's arms, had fainted from terror and the impact.
But aside from a few scrapes, she was unharmed. She was the first to be carried to safety. "Nick! Nick!" Michelle threw herself to her knees beside him, ignoring everything else. Seeing his neck soaked in blood, tears streamed down her face like rain. Her heart ached as if it were breaking. 1/2 Chapter 296 +25 Bonus "The girl..." Nick rasped through the pain, his voice faint. "She's fine! You have to hold on, sir!" Lenny shouted back, already choking on his own tears, anticipating what Nick wanted to say.
Blood continued to seep from Nick's head and body, and no one could tell the full extent of his injuries. He tried to tell them not to panic, but even opening his mouth pulled at the wound. He groaned low, pain stealing his strength. Consciousness began to fade, darkness creeping into his vision. In the last second before he slipped into blackness, his lips barely moved as he uttered, "Don't... let her know..." Nick was directing Lenny. Lenny understood immediately-he couldn't let Nick's injuries be discovered by Khloe. "All right. Hold on...
the medical team is coming right now." "Nick!" Michelle reached for his hand, but hearing him still thinking of Khloe at a moment like this, her heart felt as if it were being cut apart. Elsewhere, Khloe had just driven up to her office building. She froze, an inexplicable chill running down her spine. She glanced at her phone-still before ten o'clock. Nick had promised to contact her in the morning. She had messaged him as soon as she woke, but there had been no reply. Was he busy?
