And no matter which one | think about, | like it.\u201d Nick\u2019s answer was exactly what Khloe had expected, yet she still felt embarrassed. She cleared her throat softly and turned to Dr. Yale. \u201cUm\u2026 Dr. Yale, could you maybe stop talking about me? Can we\u2026 talk about something else?\u201d \u201cAll right,\u201d Dr. Yale nodded. Then he asked Nick, \u201cMr. Hunt, in your daily life, are there moments when you feel particularly at ease, or when your emotions feel especially stable?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d Nick didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n<p>He tilted his head, his gaze once again falling on Khloe. \u201cMany moments. For example, waking up at night and seeing my wife next to me. Or\u2026 ike now. She just sits with me. Even if we don\u2019t speak, as long as | know she\u2019s here, | feel calm. My emotions stay steady.\u201d Khloe froze. Weren\u2019t they supposed to stop talking about her? Was this session for Nick\u2019s psychological comfort-or hers? The entire conversation had revolved around her. Yet, despite her embarrassment, his words made her heart \u2014- soften. She realized that to Nick, she had become the center of his emotional world.<\/p>\n<p>And she hadn\u2019t anticipated just how much weight she carried in his life. \u201cThen it seems, Mrs. Hunt is a very important source of strength for you. You are fortunate-many people spend their entire lives searching and never find this kind of strength,\u201d Dr. Yale said eamestly. Nick nodded in affirmation, holding her hand a little tighter. \u201cIl know,\u201d he murmured. Finally, Dr. Yale pulled out a psychological assessment form and asked Khloe to assist Nick. He would choose the answers, and she would mark them.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe had expected him to resist the assessment, but Nick engaged fully, answering with sincerity and focus, as if he were offering himself completely. As he made his choices, Khloe couldn\u2019t help but imagine herself inhis place. Some of his thoughts were completely alien, sometimes even extreme, and she would instinctively tap his hand. \u201cNick, you can\u2019t think like that. Bottling things up won\u2019t solve them.\u201d \u2014- \u201cWhat if it\u2019s you? What if you feel you\u2019ll burden someone else- would you tell them?\u201d \u201cDepends. But | know the people who matter most to me deserve to know.<\/p>\n<p>They have the right to worry, the right to care. For example\u2026 if you were hurt and didn\u2019t tell me, I\u2019d be devastated once | found out.\u201d Khloe pointed to one of the questions and noticed something striking: Nick\u2019s fear of calling others for help stemmed from his childhood. Whenever he tried to reach out, there was never a response. Silence had been absolute despair. Her chest tightened, and the pen in her hand trembled. Seeing her eyes glisten, Nick felt a pang of guilt, though he hadn\u2019t thought much of it before. Now, he shared her ache. \u201c| feel much better now,\u201d he murmured.<\/p>\n<p>Khloe didn\u2019t reply. She lowered her head and continued to the next question. But then, she suddenly spoke ina firm, steady voice, \u201cFrom now on, if you ever can\u2019t reach me, it\u2019s okay to be angry. No matter what anyone else does, whenever you call me, | will always answer your call as soon as | can.\u201d Her words were impulsive, born from concern. Nick knew it was impossible to expect such a thing from her. But hearing it, he couldn\u2019t help the surge of emotion, nearly \u2014- wanting to scoop her into his arms and kiss her right then and there.<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 450 Advertisement Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 450 \u2013 \u2014- [&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-28349","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\/28349","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=28349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28349\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
