He remembered working in the study all night, but he had no memory of when he\u2019d returned to his bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He threw back the covers and was about to get out of bed when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight. Squinting, he wondered if he was imagining things.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s me. Your fever just broke-don\u2019t move. Lie down and rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe carried a bowl of chicken porridge to the bedside. After setting it down, she gently held his arm, guiding him back onto the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s frame was large and imposing, and even in his weakened state, her strength alone couldn\u2019t restrain him. As he shifted, he effortlessly drew her into his embrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe pressed herself against his broad, firm chest like a small kitten, their eyes meeting in an instant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A thin veil of haze clouded Nick\u2019s dark eyes, red veins visible beneath, while Khloe\u2019s gaze shone like stars scattered across the night, soft and luminous, her cheeks tinged with a delicate blush.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Afraid she might have hurt him, she whispered, \u201cSorry\u2026\u201d but Nick\u2019s hands remained firmly on her waist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His heated breath brushed against her ear and neck, making her shiver slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was worried about you, so I came to check on you. Some of those project files fall under my expertise, so I handled part of the work for you without asking. Now you can rest a little longer without slowing progress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her lashes fluttered as she spoke softly, glancing at his still-pale face and the crease between his lightly furrowed brows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up the phone last night, she had immediately called Lenny to confirm Nick\u2019s condition. It wasn\u2019t just a minor cold, as he had claimed-he\u2019d been running a fever for days while still working.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Without hesitation, she decided to come to Jayelle City to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the time Khloe arrived in the early morning, Nick had already collapsed at his desk, utterly exhausted. She had Lenny carry him back to bed, waited for his fever to break, and then helped complete the unfinished work he had left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, a flicker of surprise crossed Nick\u2019s eyes, but his expression quickly returned to calm. Only now, as he held her hand, he applied a little more force than necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho told you to do all this? You didn\u2019t sleep all night?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you had listened, Nick, I wouldn\u2019t have had to interfere\u2026 Besides, staying up all night is better than watching you pull a few consecutive all-nighters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe now understood him better-he was stubborn but soft-hearted, always speaking with a feigned authority. Sure enough, upon hearing her words, a faint trace of guilt appeared across his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 122\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2026\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough. I have things to handle at the Morrison Group this afternoon, so I\u2019ll be leaving soon. But before that, I need to see you resting properly. Promise me you won\u2019t overexert yourself, alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick froze. Since taking control of the Hunt Group, no one had ever spoken to him like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was Nick Hunt, the sole heir of the Hunt family, wielding power capable of shaking global markets. At eighteen, he managed the family empire; at twenty-two, he quelled internal strife to take full control; at twenty- six, he had taken the company international. No one had ever dared to treat him like a child, let alone coax him in this way. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe smiled gently. As Nick was still caught off guard, she reached up and removed the cooling patch from his forehead, checking his temperature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally\u2026 no more fever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She carefully moved his arm aside, sat up straight, and stirred the porridge she had brought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 123 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 123 \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-26640","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\/26640","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=26640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26640\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
