Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 459 \u2013 \u2014- Chapter 459 Khloe turned away from the window and wrapped her arms around Nick. Nick had long grown used to ignoring his own pain, yet he reacted almost instinctively to anything that mattered to him. Now that Khloe was here, she would be the steadying medicine for his emotions, shortening the time he lingered in the shadows. \u201cAlright. I\u2019ll listen to you.\u201d Nick nodded. Her concern softened the cold indifference he had relied on for years to shield himself from everything.<\/p>\n
He brushed his face against the curve of her neck, feeling her warm breath, as if his entire life had finally been placed in her hands. Even as night fell and the rain continued without end, there was no longer any loneliness in his heart. News that Lauren had been rushed to the hospital quickly reached the Fox family. By the time Trey arrived, it was already deep into the night. Alicia and Stanley stood outside the ward. Alicia\u2019s eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying. Stanley lingered beside her. \u2014- When he saw Trey arrive, he stepped forward and patted his shoulder.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo in and see her.\u201d The moment Alicia saw Trey, she broke down again. \u201cTrey\u2026 Grandma, she\u2026\u201d Before she could finish, Trey pushed open the ward door. Inside, the old woman lay barely alive on the bed, tubes and monitoring equipment covering her frail body. A bodyguard stood at the door. Stella sat quietly by the bedside. A caregiver was wiping Lauren\u2019s arm, and a doctor nearby seemed to be giving instructions-only to be interrupted by Trey\u2019s sudden entrance. Stella lifted her head calmly.<\/p>\n
Seeing Trey, she gave the doctor a slight nod The doctor turned to leave, but Trey stopped him at once, Doctor\u2026 my grandmother\u2026 she\u2019ll be fine, right?\u201d \u201cPlease accept my condolences.\u201d The doctor sighed, said no more, and walked out. \u2014- Trey clenched his teeth as the color drained from his face in an instant. He grabbed the wall to keep himself upright. When he\u2019d received Alicia\u2019s call, the hospital had already issued a critical condition notice. He hadn\u2019t believed it.<\/p>\n
Just yesterday, his grandmother had been standing in front of him, full of energy and scolding him at the top of her lungs. How could it be\u2026 How could someone decline so suddenly in the span of a single day? Stella raised her hand, signaling everyone else to leave the room. Only then did she say softly, \u201cTrey, come over and talk to your grandmother.\u201d Her voice was unusually calm and steady, yet it sent a chill straight through him. After a long moment, Trey staggered to the bedside. His legs gave out, and he dropped heavily to his knees. \u201cGrandma\u2026\u201d His throat burned.<\/p>\n
His eyes ached fiercely, yet not a single tear would fall. The old woman was unconscious now, her labored breathing \u2014- echoing through the room. She looked so aged, so unfamiliar. Trey leaned closer. Perhaps it was only his imagination, but he thought he caught a faint scent of decay. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t have much time left,\u201d Stella said. \u201cI\u2019ve already had people prepare what\u2019s needed. From now on, you\u2019ll stay here and keep watch.\u201d Her voice was low, her head bowed as she touched the corner of her eye.<\/p>\n
Her relationship with her mother-in-law had never been good, but they had endured together for so many years. Now that the old woman was truly about to leave, she couldn\u2019t help feeling grief. \u201cWhy?\u201d Trey suddenly asked. \u201cJust yesterday\u2026 she was still fine.\u201d He remembered returning to the Fox family estate the day before, when his grandmother had even come to see him- yelling at him for being useless, for being toyed with by two women at once. She\u2019d even chided him for seemingly wanting to rely on the older generation\u2019s support for the rest of his life<\/p>\n
