After much pleading, Khloe could only insist that\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>she return home to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once Loretta was sent off, Khloe returned to the ward and noticed Arista speaking quietly on the phone in a corner. She was likely updating George on the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arista\u2019s voice was choked with emotion. Whatever the person on the other end said seemed to displease her, and after a pause, she muttered, \u201cHe\u2019s your son,\u201d before hanging up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe waited a moment, then entered the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arista glanced up, smoothing her expression, and gave Khloe a gentle smile. \u201cTonight, Nick will be in your care. If anything happens, call us immediately. If you can\u2019t manage, just step out and rest. There are plenty of people here to help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d Khloe replied, nodding. She stepped forward and hugged Arista briefly. \u201cThank you\u2026 Mom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arista was momentarily surprised, then understood. Khloe\u2019s gratitude was for Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though Nick had lost his mother at a young age, he had Arista as a stepmother who cared for him as if he were her own son.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing to thank me for. We\u2019re family\u2026 Khloe, if Nick-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arista glanced at Nick as though about to continue, but she stopped herself. Earlier, during her call with George, she had explained Nick\u2019s condition. While he was concerned, most of his worry wasn\u2019t about Nick\u2019s recovery-it was whether Nick would have the strength to manage the Hunt Group afterward. He had only this one son. If not, he needed to make plans quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe seemed to understand Arista\u2019s thoughts. Before she could speak, Khloe softly said, \u201cNo matter what happens, I\u2019ll be by his side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re still young. If Nick doesn\u2019t wake\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arista\u2019s eyes filled with tears. She was touched that Khloe could say such words and felt relieved for Nick. Yet, long illness leaves no filial comfort, and Khloe and Nick had only just married; their wedding hadn\u2019t even taken place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick will wake up.\u201d Khloe smiled faintly, interrupting her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arista nodded. \u201cYou\u2019re right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Late at night, Khloe was awakened by the chill outside. She opened her eyes suddenly, instinctively reaching for Nick\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The man lay still, his features softened by the dim light.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick\u2026 you have to hold on. I can\u2019t bear as much as you think\u2026 If-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s thoughts flicked back to Arista\u2019s words.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though she didn\u2019t want to imagine the worst, she had steeled herself for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 313\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t wake\u2026 I\u2019ll be heartbroken for so long. Nick\u2026 if you can\u2019t walk through life with me, then my whole life will be lonely. I\u2019ll be completely alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She whispered softly into his ear. She had meant to speak with more strength, as if sheer will could summon him awake, but when the words came out, they turned into a plaintive, tender plea.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After speaking, she rose to close the window.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The full moon hung high, spilling clear, white light across her face. She pressed her hands together in silent\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>prayer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeaven\u2026 please. If Nick can come through this safely, wake soon\u2026 I am willing to shorten my life by five years. No-ten years, even, if necessary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her low murmur seemed to stir the man in the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under the moonlight, Nick\u2019s long hand shifted slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By noon the next day, in Naraida, at the diplomatic embassy, Michael and his entourage were ushered into a private reception room to wait.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He wanted to ask questions, but the other side offered no answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 313 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 313 \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-26834","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\/26834","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=26834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26834\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
