Khloe was in too much pain-so much that she felt herself about to pass out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe, dazed, fumbled for her phone, wanting to call someone for help\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She tried Charlotte, but there was no answer. Glancing at the time, she saw it was already two in the morning- everyone was probably asleep. Outside, the rain pounded relentlessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, her phone screen lit up with a message from Nick:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick: [What\u2019s wrong?]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, while she had been trying to text Charlotte, her thumb had accidentally tapped Nick\u2019s chat icon. Now, feeling like she couldn\u2019t hold on any longer, her hand slipped, and she dialed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He answered instantly. Nick hadn\u2019t slept either-he\u2019d just finished a video call at home. Remembering her message from this morning, he had absentmindedly opened the chat, never expecting a late-night ping from her \u2026 and now a call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There was silence on the line at first, only heavy, uneven breathing. His brow furrowed, and he instinctively stood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe. Speak. What happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026My stomach\u2026 hurts so much\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her eyelids drooped, her body trembling. Pain tore at her nerves so fiercely that even her voice was hoarse, barely audible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re in pain? What happened? Where are you now?\u201d Nick\u2019s tone tightened, laced with urgency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMorr\u2026 Morrison Group\u2026\u201d she managed to whisper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The last words barely came out before another groan escaped her lips. Her breathing was ragged, and she couldn\u2019t answer any further. Then, somehow, the call disconnected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Without hesitation, Nick grabbed his phone and jumped into his car. He was still in his pajamas. He hastily threw on a coat as he left.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The car roared through the streets, speed climbing recklessly, as he continuously called her-her phone remained off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon, he arrived at the Morrison Group building and sent a quick code to get straight inside. He raced up to her office floor, scanning one meeting room after another until he finally saw a light.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He pushed open the door. She was there, curled on the floor by the entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe\u2026 what\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He scooped her into his arms. Even in her weakened state, she felt weightless, like a small cat. Her skin burned with fever, sweat dampened and slick. Instinctively, he reached for his phone to call an ambulance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo\u2026 it\u2019s just\u2026 period pain\u2026\u201d she whispered, straining to speak. \u201cNo need for a hospital\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 72\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s gaze swept over the messy office. Papers were scattered across the meeting table; her computer glowed, showing she\u2019d stubbornly stayed late, working through the pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His jaw tightened. Taking a slow, deep breath, he held her closer and strode quickly out of the building.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He moved as smoothly as he could, trying not to jostle her. But her hands clutched at his waist, gripping tightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill hurting?\u201d he asked, though he knew the answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her like this twisted something in him, a quiet ache of helplessness he couldn\u2019t ignore.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou really don\u2019t take care of yourself,\u201d Nick muttered. He had meant to soothe her, but the words came out edged with frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>M\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 72 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 72 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26589\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
