Whatever Khloe offered him to eat, he took without a single question. \u201cYou haven\u2019t eaten much today, have you?\u201d Khloe recalled mealtime. He had barely touched anything, and worry tugged at her again. \u201cNot feeling hungry?\u201d she asked softly. \u201cMm\u2026 it\u2019s late. I\u2019m not very hungry,\u201d Nick replied, avoiding her gaze. He stretched his arms, intending to return to the room to change, but Khloe seemed to sense something and stepped close, matching his pace. \u201cAre you\u2026\u201d She stopped him, standing on tiptoe.<\/p>\n<p>Her hands cupped his face as she leaned in, scrutinizing him carefully. His features were sharp and sculpted, even more so up close. But those ocean-deep eyes held a layer of exhaustion that made her heart ache. \u201cKhloe\u2026\u201d \u2014- \u201cYou\u2019ve lost weight?\u201d she whispered, tilting her head. Nick froze for a moment, then a surge of tenderness overtook him. Without thinking, he swept her up, wrapping his arms around her waist. With a faint gasp from Khloe, he carried her effortlessly back to the bed, placing her gently in the center.<\/p>\n<p>His arms were strong and steady, his breathing even, his heart unhurried. Only once she rested on the soft mattress did he exhale, warm breath brushing her nose. \u201cWant to test how strong | am?\u201d he teased. \u201c..No,\u201d Khloe quickly shook her head like a spinning top, remembering the lingerie in the suitcase. \u201c| believe you\u2019re strong enough.\u201d Today had been exhausting, and tomorrow would demand more. Nick had only been teasing her. But seeing her like a startled little rabbit, so delicate and vulnerable, made him instantly relent. He didn\u2019t speak.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leaning forward, he planted his arms beside her, gently pinning her as she collapsed slightly against him. His lips brushed hers in a fleeting, feather-light kiss. \u201cStop fussing. Go shower. Welll rest early tonight.\u201d \u2014- \u201cOkay,\u201d Khloe murmured, her gaze shimmering like waves, reflecting the lingering warmth in his eyes. She paused briefly, then shook herself awake and hurried to the bathroom. Nick exuded an intoxicating aura-majestic and masculine, yet irresistibly alluring. Once Khloe left and the sound of running water filled the room, Nick finally sat up, a faint cough escaping him.<\/p>\n<p>He frowned slightly, pressing a hand over his lower abdomen. For some reason, his stomach ached again Last night, the pain had woken him. After a bout of nausea, the vomit had streaks of blood. He remembered the doctor mentioning a shadow in his stomach-probably residual bruising. The discomfort was sharp, but Nick didn\u2019t want Khloe to worry. He had rinsed himself off in the bathroom to relieve it temporarily, thinking it would pass with rest. But tonight, the familiar ache had returned. Even during their late-night snack, he had forced down an entire bowl to avoid alarming her.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, he had consulted the doctor again. The consensus: it was most likely lingering bruising, though other conditions couldn\u2019t be ruled out. A thorough check-up was \u2014- necessary. He had promised Khloe he would always be honest with her. But seeing her happy face, the words wouldn\u2019t come. He had to convince himself: it was probably just a reaction from the bruising, and it would pass. If it were something serious, he would tell her after the examination. That night, Khloe was utterly exhausted. After her shower, she nestled against Nick, drifting into sleep almost instantly.<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
