Chapter 121\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe froze. \u201cGrandma\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw that after we mentioned Nick during dinnertime, you couldn\u2019t eat a thing,\u201d Loretta said softly. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to pretend when you\u2019re with me. Worrying about Nick is perfectly normal. After all, you two will soon be husband and wife. A wife caring about her husband-that\u2019s only natural, isn\u2019t it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Khloe\u2019s face flushed a deep red at being called \u201cwife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She immediately sat up and turned her head away. \u201cPlease, don\u2019t tease me like that. I\u2019m just worried Nick is pushing himself too hard and it\u2019ll affect his health.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, all right, no more teasing. I\u2019ll call him now,\u201d Loretta said, taking out her phone without waiting for a response and dialing Nick\u2019s video line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ringtone sounded, and Khloe instinctively straightened her clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After what felt like an eternity, the video finally connected, and his deep, low voice came through the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma\u2026 it\u2019s late. Is something wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something about Nick\u2019s voice was off. Before, when he spoke on the phone, he was brief, and it was hard to detect anything-but now it was unmistakable. His tone was not only hoarse but heavy with congestion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, are you sick? You don\u2019t look well at all,\u201d Loretta said, immediately noticing something was wrong. Khloe, too, dropped all pretense and hurried closer to her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the screen, Nick leaned against his chair, his face unusually pale. One hand covered the base of his nose as he coughed a few times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he saw Khloe, his pupils flickered, and his body stiffened. Startled, he coughed even harder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, are you all right?\u201d Khloe\u2019s voice trembled. She had never seen him look so frail and weak; her heart ached for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta quickly explained, \u201cKhloe came over for dinner today. When she heard about what happened on your side, she was very worried. And you, when you get busy, never say a word. You\u2019re already engaged-Khloe is your fianc\u00e9e. Don\u2019t let her worry, okay?\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though she was scolding him, there was clear affection in her voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing\u2026 cough\u2026\u201d Nick began, annoyed at first by Loretta\u2019s meddling. But seeing Khloe there, eyes fixed on the screen, glistening with concern, all his irritation melted. His heart twisted in a thousand ways, and his pride completely vanished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lowered his gaze, speechless, a faint flush creeping across his pale cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick had always feared being cared for. As a child, he thought concern was a sign of weakness, so no matter the hardships or illnesses he endured, he never let anyone know. Growing up, with the weight of the family on his shoulders, he had even more reason to never show vulnerability.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Khloe\u2019s direct concern hit him differently, like a wave of childhood loneliness crashing back. It felt like wound exposed for everyone to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe studied him carefully. \u201cNick\u2026 do you have a fever? Your face is really red\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2019m fine. Just a small cold,\u201d he said quickly, forcing his voice to sound normal, though he avoided meeting her\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you seen a doctor?\u201d Khloe asked again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Loretta was also worried, she didn\u2019t want to interrupt them further. Silently, she handed the phone to Khine and, with the housemaids, quietly left the ver\u00a0<\/p>\n
