But instead, the emotions flooding her mind were mostly worry and unease. She even felt a twinge of regret for having argued with him last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick was unwell. How could she possibly feel fine?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What had he meant by, \u201cIf you regret it, we can end it here\u201d?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What had he meant by \u201cgiving her the chance to leave\u201d?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing his cold words cut through her heart like ice. He spoke endlessly about trust, yet the moment trouble arose, his first reaction was to doubt her, to push her away. Not once did he ask how she felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even if she wanted to leave, couldn\u2019t he hold her back firmly? After all, she had made her feelings clear to him\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>countless times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of this, Khloe\u2019s anger flared-not just at him, but at herself too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Nick couldn\u2019t focus on work either.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The doctor came for the routine check, noting a slightly irregular heart rate and the deep crease in his brow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny stood anxiously at his side. \u201cDoctor, Mr. Hunt\u2019s been feeling well these past few days. It should be nothing serious, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking the medication on schedule?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. He takes it every day. Mrs. Hunt even calls me daily.\u201d Lenny deliberately mentioned Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s expression didn\u2019t change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s odd,\u201d the doctor said, observing him. \u201cYesterday\u2019s blood work looked normal. You haven\u2019t felt discomfort?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The doctor suspected he hadn\u2019t rested enough. Internal injuries demanded recovery, and above all, rest. Even with top-tier medicine, mental state mattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have,\u201d Nick said, his hand moving instinctively to his phone. \u201cA heaviness in my chest, shortness of breath, a faint ache.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even though he had prepared himself for the possibility that Khloe might leave, even after having said everything, he now wanted to take it back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Michelle had left, he hadn\u2019t even flinched-but now\u2026 his heart was breaking into pieces.

Just a little will help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny interjected carefully. \u201cDoctor, could it be\u2026 a heart condition?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He knew his boss better than anyone. This wasn\u2019t illness-it was heartbreak. But Nick never wore his emotions on his sleeve; his coldness was his armor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA heart condition?\u201d The doctor paused, realizing something, then spoke quietly under Lenny\u2019s hint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He spoke to Nick, \u201cIf it\u2019s a heart condition, it takes a heart remedy. Do you have something unresolved weighing on you? Best to address it early.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m tired. I want to rest.\u201d Nick turned to the side, closing his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny could do nothing but lead the doctor out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moments after they left, Nick\u2019s phone vibrated. His body twitched slightly; his eyes flickered open with a faint clarity. He didn\u2019t even check the caller ID\u2014he answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello, my dear grandson. How are you today?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was Loretta.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His recently stirred heart sank again, but Nick froze for a moment, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He caught himself-just a touch of wishful thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm. Sorry about yesterday for worrying you all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, yesterday was all your father\u2019s fault! We scolded him severely when we got home. But he\u2019s your dad, and decades of that temper don\u2019t change easily\u2026 You poor boy, stuck with a father like that.
