Chapter 323
“Nick…” Khloe murmured, and then jolted awake.
She opened her eyes, realizing she had somehow moved from the sofa to the bed-but she had no memory of getting there.
A thin sliver of sunlight slipped through the slightly parted curtains, and a warm ray landed across her brow. The gentle morning light brought a faint sense of peace.
Glancing at the time, it was still before noon-but the date… had already advanced by a full day. She had slept straight through to the next morning.
Khloe hurried to grab her phone, only to realize she hadn’t charged it. It was dead. She’d deal with it at the hospital.
She quickly got ready and stepped out of the hotel, only to find a crowd gathered at the entrance, holding banners.
The banners were expressions of gratitude toward Nick, from the little girl he had saved.
Khloe recalled what Lenny had told her: the girl and her family had already visited Nick before, feeling immense guilt over his injuries. Now, the villagers, accompanied by local officials, had returned with the girl to present a banner in thanks.
Michelle, serving as the charity representative, immediately stepped forward to document the moment with photos-and maybe a brief interview to keep for records and later release.
Khloe came out just in time to see the little girl tugging at Michelle, chattering away.
“Michelle, I hope Nick gets well soon! I wish you and Nick a happy ever after!”
“Yes, Michelle, we are very sorry for what happened to Nick. We hope he recovers quickly. Please take care of yourself, too…”
The villagers spoke eagerly, one after another, clearly assuming Michelle and Nick were a couple.
Since the accident, Michelle had been constantly by Nick’s side, day and night. Online rumors had also spread that Michelle and Nick were romantically involved. Kids love the internet; once they saw it, the story snowballed, and soon the entire village accepted it as fact.
To them, Michelle and Nick were a perfect match: a charity ambassador paired with a business tycoon who risked his life to save a child. It was practically fate itself.
Michelle hesitated on clarifying but chose not to-simply accepting the blessings on Nick’s behalf.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Nick will be fine. Now, let’s all stand together. I’ll take a photo for you.”
Khloe quietly watched Michelle finish taking the photos before stepping forward toward the crowd.
When the villagers saw her, Michelle instinctively lowered her camera, intending to greet Khloe. But Khloe ignored her, walking straight toward the little girl standing in the center, holding the small banner.
“You must be the child Nick saved, right?” Khloe crouched slightly and smiled gently.

The little girl glanced at her timidly, nodded, and then instinctively looked toward Michelle.
“And you are…?” the girl’s parents quickly asked, their eyes narrowing in curiosity as they studied Khloe.
Meeting their gaze, Khloe replied calmly, “I’m Nick’s wife.”
“Nick’s wife…?”
The adults’ eyes immediately flicked toward Michelle, and astonishment swept across everyone’s faces. Even the little girl blurted out, “But… isn’t Nick supposed to be with Michelle? How could you be his wife?”
“Shh.” Realizing the mistake, the parents quickly hushed her, covering her mouth.
Apparently, they had misunderstood. Michelle had never denied the rumors before, so everyone had assumed she and Nick were a couple. Knowing now that wasn’t true, the villagers all felt a touch of disappointment.
Khloe stood, scanning Michelle briefly with her gaze.
