Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 655 Knowing that men liked to put on a brave front, Khloe always paid close attention to Nick's expression. "'m not tired. When I'm with you, nothing | do feels tiring," Nick said softly. Their whispered exchange immediately caught Arista's attention "Both of you should get some rest. I'll wait for the news," Arista said, gently herding them from the sitting room toward the bedroom. Khloe was about to speak, but Nick didn't argue. He simply took Khloe's hand. "Thank you, Mom." Arista smiled with quiet happiness and waved them off. Khloe could only comply.

Before the matter was resolved, she had no real mind to rest at all. After they returned to their room, Nick suddenly coughed. Khloe immediately grabbed him, alarmed. "Are you feeling unwell? I'll call-" "| already did." ---- Nick quickly pressed her back down. It was actually a side effect of the strong medication. Although he had seemed in good condition these past few days and his illness hadn't flared up again, his resistance was much lower. His body felt as if he constantly had a mild cold. To keep Khloe from worrying, he planned to rest more.

But her complexion today wasn't much better than yesterday's, and he was worried about her too, That was why he had called the doctor earlier. As they were speaking, there was a knock at the door, and one of the staff brought the doctor in. Khloe immediately asked the doctor to examine Nick. Nick cooperated fully, lying on the sofa and remaining quiet through the auscultation and examination. "There's nothing physically wrong, This is actually a good sign.

As long as the medication keeps things under control, your bodily functions should remain stable," the doctor said, finally putting his mind at ease. Then he turned to Khloe. "Madam, where are you feeling unwell?" Khloe froze. "I don't feel unwell anywhere..." ---- "From your complexion, it looks like your energy and blood are a bit deficient," the doctor said, already beginning the consultation before she finished speaking. He reached out to take her pulse. Khloe instinctively stepped back half a pace and looked at Nick.

So he had been waiting for this all along "Lreally don't have any problems." She knew that refusing too forcefully would only make Nick worry more, so she reluctantly extended her hand. But before the doctor could even take her pulse, the moment he touched her, she pulled her hand back again. "Do you have another way to examine me?" she asked softly, lowering her head and holding her wrist, looking a little embarrassed. Nick couldn't help but smile, as if he understood her thoughts. He said calmly, "Just question her." The doctor was momentarily awkward. "Ah...

all right." Seeing the situation, he gave Khloe a brief examination and quickly reached a conclusion. "Madam is only slightly deficient ---- in energy and blood. I'll prescribe some mild supplements. Strengthening the foundation is always beneficial." Nick looked deeply at Khloe before finally nodding. "Thank you for your trouble." The doctor tactfully wrote out the prescription and left. The moment the doctor was gone, Nick pulled Khloe back into his arms. "Why were you so uncooperative? | always cooperate when you worry about me." "| just... I'm not used to letting another man hold my hand.

It's kind of embarrassing," Khloe said quietly, turning her face away. Even she felt that her excuse was a bit forced. She wasn't that coy by nature, and with Nick's sharp eyes, he would probably see through her in the next second. Sure enough, after hearing her words, he fell silent.
