Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 848 The doctors still gave Nick a precautionary injection. In the worst -case scenario, if his body weakened too much, there was still a tisk of relapse-or even further complications. But listening to all this, Khloe only grew more optimistic. As long as things were fine now, there was no need to worry about the future. Life and death, sickness and aging-everyone had to face it. Facing it together made it bearable. Lucas hadn't expected her to be so open and carefree. He had his biases about women, thinking many of them were indecisive, overly sentimental, and far too fragile.

But Khloe's free-spirited optimism blew those preconceptions away. His admiration for her surged to its peak. "Nick... your wife is stronger than you. She's the wise one," he teased. "It's just an illness. If the people around you don't worry, neither should you. Don't torment yourself. From now on, we'll find the best medical team. Big resources, big family-you won't suffer alone." Lucas took the chance to joke with Nick. But as soon as he finished, a chill ran down his spine.

---- In front of Khloe, Nick could admit fault all he wanted-but with anyone else, Nick was a merciless, cold-faced king Nick glanced at Lucas, and the icy edge in his expression seemed to swallow him whole. "Cough... cough..." Lucas quickly rubbed his hands, realizing he'd crossed a line. His trip to help Nick return to Goldmont had been successful, and he was already planning to return to Naraida in a few days. But he had offered to help Nick find the best medical team for his stomach tumor. Khloe, knowing he had the resources, eagerly discussed options with him.

They talked for a long while. Khloe had originally planned to accompany Nick to Swinterland, and Lucas agreed it was a good idea. The tumor wasn't at the highest grade-treatment was still possible-but it needed to start as soon as possible. "When are you planning to go?" Lucas asked, hoping to help arrange things in advance. "As soon as possible. The sooner, the better," Khloe said firmly. Nick finally spoke, "It'll have to wait a little." "Why?" Khloe frowned.

"You need treatment as early as possible." ---- "You forgot-we still have one important thing to do first." He took her hand, a small, teasing curve at his lips. "You promised Grandma. And the Royal Palace appointments have time limits too. We can't delay them any longer." Khloe went momentarily silent, thinking of the wedding. A rush of warmth swept through her, and a shy flush appeared in her eyes. "The wedding! That's a big deal!" Lucas immediately jumped in. " Treatment isn't urgent anyway. There's already effective medication. His condition hasn't worsened...

Besides, from what | see, ever since Nick returned to your side, he seems almost half healed already." "Sometimes," he added with a teasing grin, "the strongest cure is in the heart. Maybe Khloe, you're the real medicine for Nick." Khloe blushed and laughed, unable to take his teasing seriously. "Don't forget to invite me to the wedding!" Lucas said heartily "Of course," Khloe replied with a nod. "You have to come. You're our benefactor." "Benefactor's too much," Lucas said with a laugh. "With Nick, we're even.

| also hope to expand my work in Goldmont in the future, so I'll rely on you two." ---- He reached instinctively for a drink, only to find the cups filled with hot water, and sipped carefully. Khloe and Nick exchanged a knowing smile. By the afternoon, Charlotte and Lenny had arrived at Khloe's home with a huge haul of groceries.
