Chapter 96\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe hadn\u2019t expected Nick to return so soon. The moment she saw him, her face flushed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick\u2026 you\u2019re back?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Loretta had clearly said he\u2019d be working late tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard it was serious,\u201d Nick said. His tone was cool, but the concern underneath was unmistakable. \u201cHow are you feeling now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He crossed the room in quick strides, his sharp eyes scanning his grandmother from head to toe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta immediately let go of Khloe\u2019s hand, her face glowing with healthy color-nothing like the frail voice she\u2019d used on the phone, insisting she could barely move and didn\u2019t want to go to the hospital, demanding he return right away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell\u2026 it was quite bad earlier,\u201d Loretta said, coughing lightly, \u201cbut after Khloe stayed with me all evening, I feel much better. Everywhere.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes darted toward Khloe with a touch of guilt before she turned to her grandson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, you have to thank Khloe properly. She even pushed off work just to come take care of me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick didn\u2019t reply right away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At those words, Khloe realized what was going on. So that was why Grandma Loretta had insisted she come over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d been na\u00efve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The old woman had been in high spirits, chatting and laughing for hours. Khloe had simply thought she was lonely and wanted company. She hadn\u2019t guessed Loretta had been waiting for Nick to come home-waiting to set the two of them up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need,\u201d Khloe said quickly. \u201cI didn\u2019t do anything. It\u2019s only right to keep you company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She rose to her feet. \u201cIt\u2019s getting late. I should head back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, Khloe, don\u2019t rush off just yet!\u201d Loretta said, feigning concern as she glanced toward the window. \u201cI heard the weather\u2019s turning bad-there\u2019s supposed to be a heavy storm tonight, isn\u2019t there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes flicked meaningfully to the maid. The woman hadn\u2019t checked the forecast but nodded immediately. \u201cYes, the wind\u2019s really picking up. Looks like rain\u2019s coming.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so late, and with a storm brewing-you should stay here tonight,\u201d Grandma insisted, gripping Khloe\u2019s arm with surprising strength. \u201cTomorrow morning, Nick can drive you to work. Everything you need is here. It\u2019s very convenient!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was practically glowing with energy-nothing like someone with a back injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCareful, Grandma, your waist-\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, it\u2019s fine now,\u201d she said with a laugh. \u201cAll thanks to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she shot her grandson a pointed look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick knew that look too well. His grandmother was formidable. For all his composure, he could feel the start of a headache.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Khloe hesitated, Grandma\u2019s voice took on a dramatic sigh, \u201cIf you don\u2019t stay, I doubt I\u2019ll sleep well tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick sighed and said, \u201cYou might as well stay. Otherwise Grandma really won\u2019t rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026Alright then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Between Loretta\u2019s insistence and Nick\u2019s calm pressure, refusing again would have seemed rude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta beamed, immediately sending a maid to prepare a room. Then, declaring she needed her rest, she waved them both away-with another not-so-subtle glance in Nick\u2019s direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They both knew what she meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After leaving the room, Nick and Khloe sat for a while in the quiet of the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, I\u2019m really sorry,\u201d Khloe said softly. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize Grandma Loretta would\u2026 well, make you come back like this. It must\u2019ve interrupted your work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t cause any trouble,\u201d he replied. \u201cIf anything, you were the one inconvenienced-coming all the way here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s no trouble,\u201d she said with a faint smile. \u201cShe\u2019s always been so kind to me. Making sure she\u2019s at ease is the least I can do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
