Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 608 Nick clenched his teeth and pulled Khloe forcefully into his arms. Khloe did not dare struggle too hard, afraid she might hurt Nick. Nick brushed his cheek against hers. His breath was warm, his voice low and pleading. "It's my fault. | shouldn't have kept it from you. Don't be angry with me... please, okay?" Khloe said nothing. Of course she was angry. She was furious-so furious she could barely contain it. From the moment she rushed over and saw how sick Nick already was, she could no longer forgive herself either. There was no way his condition had worsened overnight.

During all the time they had spent together recently-the days that had seemed so happy-what state of mind had he been in? She should have noticed earlier. She had been so close to him, close enough to sense every change. Yet, she had been immersed in her own happiness and paid no attention at all. ---- This time, Nick had even kept it from his family. Lenny had refused to tell her what was wrong. Only then had Khloe realized something serious had happened. So she had made a promise to Henry and secured ten days of freedom from him. But she was still too late...

"Then tell me," she said hoarsely. "Your illness... how far has it progressed?" Before long, Nick's doctor was alerted. When the medical staff entered the room and saw Khloe there, panic flickered across their faces. Her eyes were swollen and red, but her expression had already returned to calm. She asked about Nick's condition, her voice hoarse, distant, and exhausted. She already had a rough idea of his diagnosis, yet she still held on to cautious optimism: It was a tumor-but at a low-risk stage. If it could be controlled, then it could be treated as a chronic condition.

---- The chief physician met Nick's gaze and immediately said, "Mrs. Hunt, there's no need to worry too much. As long as we keep it under control, it can be managed like a long-term illness. It's just that Mr. Hunt is still rather weak right now..." Watching Khloe's face grow paler by the second, even the female doctor felt a pang of sympathy. But Khloe forced herself to remain composed, clenching her fingers tightly so Nick would not worry. "Mrs. Hunt," the doctor added gently, "the medication he took today is very painful.

Even after the injection, the pain will likely last through the night. But it's good that you're here. With you by his side, | believe he'll feel much better." Khloe escorted the doctors out of the ward. The female doctor hesitated, then finally spoke. Khloe paused, then nodded. "Thank you." "This is what | should do, Mrs. Hunt. You really... truly are wonderful." The doctor stopped, then couldn't help adding one more sentence. ---- She had never expected Khloe to find this place. Nick had endured the pain and even rushed to move out of the hotel just to keep it hidden from her.

She knew very well that for Khloe to come here now, she must have endured enormous pressure. One person was willing to sacrifice himself without hesitation for the sake of the other. The other could always catch him when he was most fragile. This kind of love-running toward each other from both sides- she would never have believed in if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. If it were her, no matter how deeply she loved someone, she doubted she could do what Nick and Khloe had done. Especially in a world ruled by fame and profit, where emotions were fragile under the weight of gain and loss.

Perhaps only two people this brave and unafraid truly deserved each other's love Khloe closed the door and returned to Nick's bedside. Outside the window, the deep night was already beginning to glow faintly at its darkest edge. ---- Nick leaned against the bed. His complexion was poor, yet when he looked at her, his expression remained calm and gentle, as. though nothing were wrong at all.
