Chapter 354\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the moment she pushed the door open, what greeted her was a quiet, pitch-dark home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe couldn\u2019t help but feel a flicker of surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The living room\u2019s vast floor-to-ceiling windows captured the city lights, letting them spill softly across the carpet beside the sofa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The apartment seemed\u2026 empty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For some reason, a subtle unease crept into her chest. Her voice dropped almost instinctively, as if afraid of disturbing something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only when she reached the side of the sofa did she notice him: his figure curled in the corner, covered by a thin blanket, eyes closed, so still that it stirred an inexplicable ache in her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Relief washed over her. She immediately dropped her handbag and crouched beside the sofa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gently, she called his name twice, brushing her hands over his forehead and his hands, afraid something might be wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As if just waking from a brief nap, Nick\u2019s voice was deep, husky. He opened his eyes; long lashes fluttered, and he looked at her with a gentle warmth. \u201cThat was fast. I thought it would be a little longer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you turn on the lights? Were you tired? If you were, you should have gone to bed\u2026 Are you feeling unwell anywhere?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Questions spilled from her one after another, leaving him no chance to answer. Seeing her rise, about to do something, he simply reached out and pulled her into his arms, seating her on his lap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was a little drowsy. It wasn\u2019t this dark earlier\u2026 I was thinking, and I must have dozed off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was low and calm, his warm breath brushing the shell of her ear, sending a sudden rush through her. Khloe quickly pushed his face away, then touched their foreheads again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, you\u2019re not right. You don\u2019t have a fever, do you? Your forehead is so hot!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d he murmured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s check your temperature!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, Khloe refused to take his word for it. She wrenched free of his arms and went straight for the medicine cabinet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick sighed, a little helpless. His body was heavy, so he didn\u2019t follow her-he simply waited, tilting his head when she brought over the thermometer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the soft electronic beep, Khloe\u2019s expression changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c37 degrees\u2026 you do have a fever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a slight rise. The inflammation hasn\u2019t fully subsided yet. The doctor said it\u2019s normal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick tried to divert the conversation; he didn\u2019t want her to worry. But she ignored him, dialing the doctor directly. Her voice was polite, warm, and measured, yet her concern and anxiety seeped through every word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching her move around, calling for him, his heart-scarred and long buried-throbbed in sudden, sharp pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If time could stop at this moment, never moving forward\u2026 would he be happier?\u00a0<\/p>\n
His phone screen beside him had gone completely dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had replied to Michelle\u2019s message that morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[We\u2019re no longer dating. I wish you happiness.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
He understood Michelle\u2019s intentions perfectly, but he couldn\u2019t reciprocate. That message was all he could give, the last acknowledgment of what had once been beautiful between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle surely knew she posed no threat. Her message might even trouble her family, but she was clinging to a fantasy from the past, careless of the consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since her family had once helped him, Nick naturally had no desire to harm Michelle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides\u2026 even if he silenced her, could he truly keep his secrets forever?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had no confidence. And he would never deceive Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle\u2019s words only reminded him: no matter how careful or perfect he was, mistakes were inevitable. Even if he was certain Khloe would never leave him, how could he bear to put her at risk?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick had been bracing himself for the possibility that Michelle would reveal his past to Khloe. The entire day had left him uneasy, as if awaiting judgment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
