Chapter 325 +25 Bonus The surrounding villagers fell silent at first, then whispers began to ripple through the crowd. Khloe's words carried tremendous weight. Michelle had merely tried to poke at Khloe subtly, yet Khloe had openly accused her of attempting to seduce Nick-bluntly, without any concern for decorum. "Khloe, don't talk nonsense! I... I'm only doing my job-" "Your devotion to Nick hasn't gone unnoticed. But even though we've only been married a short time, the bond between Nick and me isn't something you can judge-or interfere with." Once again, Khloe cut her off.
Her voice was soft, almost gentle, yet the force behind it sent a chill through the air. Michelle's face drained of color, then flushed red. Her earlier confidence evaporated as she realized the villagers gazes had shifted. What had been sympathy for her moments ago now turned to scrutiny and surprise. For the first time, they understood: Michelle wasn't simply kindhearted-she'd been trying to undermine the rightful wife. Who could have guessed? A woman who seemed so warm and approachable on the outside could be so unscrupulous inside. "Khloe!
I know you care about what others say, but even if you're angry, you can't... you can't speak so cruelly!" Michelle paused, then quickly resumed her act of wounded innocence. "When has my wife ever needed to care about such baseless gossip?" Before Khloe could respond, a slightly hoarse yet unmistakably familiar voice rang out from behind, instantly drawing every eye. Everyone turned to look, and there stood Nick, appearing out of nowhere behind them. He wore simple hospital clothes with a jacket draped casually over his shoulders, accompanied by Lenny and the others.

She turned, seeing him just a few steps behind, and for a moment her mind went completely blank. Before she could react, he had reached her. Up close, she saw how much he had wasted away-the paleness of his lips made her heart ache. Yet his sharp, chiseled features remained. Tears streamed down Khloe's cheeks instantly. Her lips curved in a mix of joy and heartbreak, her expression twisting as she tried to speak. "You...
when did you..." She snapped back to herself, instinctively wanting to throw herself into his arms, to hold him tight-but hesitation stopped her. She worried about hurting his still-recovering body. "Come here, silly." Nick saw every thought flicker across her face. A faint haze softened his own eyes as he let out a short laugh, 1/2 Chapter 375 +25 Bonus then reached for her shoulders and pulled her into a firm embrace. Feeling his warmth, pressed against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart-Khloe could no longer contain herself.
She clung to him tightly, burying her hands in his waist. He was awake. Truly awake. This was not a dream. Nick was real, and he was standing right in front of her. Joy and anguish mingled, stinging her nose as her tears soaked the front of his shirt. Nick's brow furrowed at the sudden ache in his chest. He cleared his throat and brushed her hair back before speaking. "I'm sorry. I made you worry again." Khloe barely responded, shaking her head and quickly raising her reddened eyes to him. "Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Why aren't you still in the hospital?" "I'm fine now. But you...
you slept on the sofa last night. Feeling any better from your cold?" His voice was low, filled with care and a softness that threatened to overflow.
