He scolded Nick, bewildered by his grandson\u2019s sudden, reckless behavior. But Nick\u2019s gaze remained distant, unfocused.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He stared at everything in front of him, brow furrowed, as if lost in a chaotic fog.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an instant, the knife had cut through Khloe\u2019s palm. Blood trickled slowly down her delicate wrist, drop by drop, staining the floor. Yet Nick showed no sign of letting go. His grip didn\u2019t weaken, and the knife tip inched\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gasping under the sharp intake of air from the onlookers, Khloe strained against his strength. The pain made her breaths ragged. \u201cNick\u2026 what\u2019s wrong with you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She could feel it\u2014he was almost not himself, acting as if his body moved without his mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Hunt family rushed forward to help. Seeing the severity of Khloe\u2019s injury and Nick\u2019s refusal to release the knife, they feared that forcibly intervening would only worsen things. They shouted, tried to reason, but it was as if no one could reach him-not Loretta, not Arista, not even Leon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d Khloe said calmly, her voice steady. Her words were both for the family and for Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s eyes shimmered, a sudden wave of emotion surfacing. His eyelashes flickered, yet the tense veins on his forehead remained taut. His whole body was coiled with effort, trembling with a restrained fury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick\u2026 don\u2019t be afraid. I\u2019m here. It\u2019s okay\u2026 really, it\u2019s okay\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe felt a pang of worry. She didn\u2019t fully understand what had overtaken him, but the warmth and tenderness in her gaze spoke volumes-soft, forgiving, and full of care.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, her strength was waning, and Nick\u2019s hand continued to press. Blood had already soaked his shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta could no longer watch. She motioned to the stunned George, urging him to intervene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Khloe spread her hand, letting the knife tip edge toward her own throat\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In that last heartbeat, everyone\u2019s sweat ran cold. Yet, Khloe\u2019s gaze remained unwavering, calm as though she had never doubted he would hurt her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The knife fell to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick seemed to snap back to reality. His palm trembled, exhausted, and his broad frame slowly, heavily collapsed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everyone rushed forward. Khloe wrapped her arms around him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 414\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cK-Khloe?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s eyes were red, raw, almost bloodshot. His voice hoarse, he called her name. Only then did he notice the blood on the floor, on her hand-the hand she had raised at him. She\u2026 had cut herself?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The moments replayed in his mind, crystal clear. Nick\u2019s face drained of color, his brow twitched, his heart stinging sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2026 had relapsed!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s okay, it\u2019s okay,\u201d Khloe murmured. She could tell he had been triggered, and without waiting for him to speak, she wrapped her body around him, shielding him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>George wanted to step forward, but dared not. His mouth twitched; he opened it, then let out a frustrated, \u201cHe\u2019s really insane! I wasn\u2019t wrong!\u201d before storming out, slamming the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But no one paid him attention. The maids rushed for the first-aid kit. Arista grabbed her phone to call their private doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only Loretta understood Khloe\u2019s unspoken intention. She held Nick close, watching the frantic, flustered family struggle helplessly around them, and silently shook her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>COIN BUNDLE: get more free bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 414 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 414 \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-26935","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\/26935","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=26935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26935\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
