Nick finally settled into Khloe\u2019s embrace. The tension in his body slowly eased. He needed a quiet moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta had quietly sent a maid to bandage Khloe\u2019s hand and tidy the bloodstains on the floor. Arista stayed silent, and Leon steadied Loretta, their eyes filled with worry as they glanced at the two.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once everyone had discreetly left, the room was left with nothing but the mingled sound of Khloe and Nick\u2019s heartbeats and soft breathing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t let go. Instead, she rested her chin lightly on the top of his head, using her uninjured hand to gently stroke the tense muscles along his back, over and over, feeling his trembling body slowly relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right\u2026 everyone\u2019s gone now. It\u2019s over. You\u2019re an adult-why are you acting like a child?\u201d Khloe\u2019s voice was calm, ordinary, almost as if nothing unusual had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But they both knew: the more placid her tone, the more deliberate it was-an attempt to cover up the storm beneath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At last, Nick whispered her name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shifted slightly, careful not to break the fragile peace. \u201cFeeling better?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His head remained lowered. One leg stretched out, the other half-bent, his posture no longer upright and composed as usual; there was a subtle slump to his frame, a trace of desolation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t answer. Slowly, he raised his hand, fingertips trembling uncontrollably, and touched her bandaged palm with painstaking gentleness. His eyes\u2026 they looked at her hand as if it were a priceless treasure he had shattered with his own hands, full of unbearable pain and self-loathing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes it hurt?\u201d The words came out hoarse, barely more than a whisper, forced from deep in his throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExternal wounds heal quickly, but if it\u2019s the heart that hurts\u2026 that\u2019s much harder to fix.\u201d Khloe\u2019s voice was soft, like a night breeze, soothing and tender.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just\u2026 I\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick didn\u2019t dare meet her gaze, consumed with regret, wishing he had never existed. He saw the parts of\u00a0<\/p>\n
himself he could not bear to face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could someone incapable of facing himself protect the person he cherished most?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay. We\u2019ll deal with that later. Just calm down first.\u201d Khloe\u2019s words were gentle but firm; she could tell this wasn\u2019t a simple emotional outburst. Nick had, for a brief moment, lost himself entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you scared?\u201d he asked quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cScared?\u201d she echoed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cScared of me.\u201d Nick let out a faint, bitter laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe frowned. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s normal to\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t answer directly.\u201d He cut her off. \u201cBut it\u2019s natural for you to be scared.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her instinctive flinch said it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause\u2026 my father was right. I really am a lunatic.\u201d He drew a deep breath, leaning back slightly, releasing her arm and bracing himself with his other hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the tightly wound nerves, the self-restraint he had clung to for years, all collapsed at once. His jaw tensed, the sharp angles of his face under the light revealing his exhaustion down to the bones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say that. You\u2019re not a lunatic.\u201d Khloe\u2019s tone had grown colder; she refused to hear him degrade himself\u00a0<\/p>\n
like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He tilted his head, the faint pink in his eyes soft but self-mocking. \u201cActually\u2026 Michelle betrayed me because of this. I\u2019m ill-mentally ill. It could happen again. I might relapse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop\u2026 just stop.\u201d Khloe lowered her gaze, staring at her own thickly bandaged hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No wonder\u2026 no wonder Michelle said what she did. She thought only she could tolerate Nick\u2026 and it was because of this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe\u2026 I\u2019ve been so selfish. From the beginning, I never intended to tell you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
