With so many people around, at most, she would have been injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unless\u2026 Michelle was behind this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that Michelle\u2019s self-sacrificing act-throwing herself in harm\u2019s way to save her-was a little too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Michelle\u2019s injuries were undeniably severe. She had lost a great deal of blood when she was brought to the hospital, nearly going into shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If it were all for show, would she really have gone that far?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Khloe could sort through her thoughts, members of the Keller family arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was Michelle\u2019s mother and her second uncle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both looked stricken with worry. When Michelle\u2019s mother asked Khloe about what had happened, tears immediately welled up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichelle has been delicate since she was little-she can\u2019t bear even the slightest pain\u2026\u201d she cried.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s second uncle comforted her, his own face equally heavy with concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t say much to Khloe. When Khloe tried to offer comfort, they didn\u2019t seem inclined to engage either. Soon, the doors to the operating room opened.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The moment the doctor stepped out, the Keller family rushed forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only after hearing that Michelle\u2019s life was not in danger did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cut on her wrist was deep, but it hadn\u2019t damaged any nerves. She would only need to stay in the hospital for observation while her arm healed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After thanking the doctor, Michelle was wheeled by a nurse into a private ward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s mother followed alongside the bed, tears once again blurring her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy baby, how could you be so reckless? That was a criminal!\u201d she sobbed. \u201cThank goodness it didn\u2019t hit anything vital\u2026 You must never put yourself in such danger again!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s second uncle cast a meaningful glance at Khloe,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, you don\u2019t need to blame yourself,\u201d he said pointedly. \u201cMichelle has always been straightforward. Even if she gets hurt herself, she can\u2019t bear to see someone else in trouble.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. We were fortunate that Michelle stepped in when she did,\u201d Khloe replied, catching the underlying\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 225\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>implication in his words. She spoke sincerely. \u201cI\u2019ll take full responsibility for Michelle\u2019s medical expenses and her recovery afterward.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not what I meant. Our family doesn\u2019t lack money,\u201d Michelle\u2019s second uncle said somewhat awkwardly. \u201cIt\u2019s good that you\u2019re safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As he spoke, a set of hurried yet steady footsteps approached.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick appeared at the doorway of the hospital room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He wore a broad overcoat, his tie loosened, his stride urgent-his anxiety unmistakable. Only when he saw Khloe standing there, unharmed, did the tension between his brows finally ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny followed close behind with two bodyguards, lowering his head slightly in greeting to the Keller family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s second uncle was just about to speak when Nick had already walked straight up to Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ignoring everyone else, he pulled Khloe toward him and gave her a swift once-over from head to toe. Only after confirming she was truly unharmed did the chill in his eyes recede.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fine. But Michelle was injured,\u201d Khloe said softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Afraid his concern for her might upset the Keller family, she shot him a subtle look of warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick had been working late as well. Knowing Khloe had a business dinner, he planned to find her afterward- only to receive her call instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had practically had Lenny speed all the way here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even though Khloe had told him over the phone that she was fine, his heart had remained tightly clenched the entire drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the way Nick focused solely on Khloe, Michelle\u2019s mother immediately felt aggrieved on her daughter\u2019s behalf. \u201cNick, Michelle was injured today protecting Khloe. How is it that you\u2019ve come all this way and don\u2019t even check on the patient first?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 225 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 225 \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-26746","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\/26746","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=26746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26746\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
