He withdrew his hand and pulled her closer into his chest. \u201cIt\u2019s cold at night. Without you here, even the bed feels cold.\u201d \u201cYou-seriously, you have a cold and still don\u2019t wear more clothes And just now, you stood outside for so long, didn\u2019t you?\u201d Khloe pinched his cheek lightly, scolding him with a teasing frown. The temperature had dropped recently, and Nick\u2019s pajamas were thin. He probably hadn\u2019t dared disturb her while waiting outside the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>He was always like this-thoughtful of everyone else, yet the one who worried others the most. \u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d he murmured. Hearing her concern, his face softened into the kind of endless gentleness that seemed etched into him. His fingers brushed along her smooth brows, lingering as if he could never get enough of her. \u201cKhloe\u2026 you looked uncomfortable just now. Are you all right?\u201d Khloe had forgotten about it, but his question reminded her. She \u2014- nodded. \u201cA little queasy just now, but it passed quickly.\u201d \u201cYour stomach?\u201d Nick frowned and tried to sit up. She immediately held him down.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s probably just a mental discomfort. My body feels fine.\u201d \u201cYou should still get checked at the hospital, so | know you\u2019re okay.\u201d Khloe nodded. \u201cAll right. I\u2019ll go when we get back.\u201d Satisfied with her compliance, Nick turned back toward her. His hand, now warm again, pressed lightly over her abdomen through her pajamas. \u201cLet me massage it for you.\u201d Khloe felt a warmth surge to her chest. Even though she wasn\u2019t uncomfortable now, she obediently nodded, like a child leaning on a guardian. Nick\u2019s care ran deep into his bones.<\/p>\n<p>Even when she pressed on his back, he couldn\u2019t bear to go over a minute-but massaging her abdomen, he could go on forever. Even when Khloe gently pushed his hands away, saying she was fine, he would start again moments later. His palms were firm yet gentle, kneading and smoothing every tense spot, as if determined to banish every trace of discomfort \u2014- from her body. Cradled in his arms, Khloe\u2019s eyelids gradually grew heavy, and soon she drifted into a peaceful sleep. Nick, however, did not feel sleepy for a long time. At dawn, a sudden burn in his stomach roused him.<\/p>\n<p>While Khloe remained asleep, he rushed to the toilet and emptied himself. He had eaten very little these past two days, so his stomach was almost empty. After vomiting the acidic fluid, streaks of blood appeared-sharper and more abundant than before. He continued until his mouth still reeked of metallic tang. Furrowing his brow, he looked into the mirror. His face was pale and drawn, and unease gnawed at him. Could something really be wrong with his body? Returning to bed, Khloe still slept peacefully, the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains, spilling over her hair.<\/p>\n<p>She curled up on the soft bed, leaning into his side, immovable The scene was the very picture of tranquility-exactly what he had always wished for. And yet, now, it filled him with a strange, inexplicable sadness. Perhaps even happiness could make one fragile, vulnerable to the slightest ripple. \u2014- The next morning in Goldmont City, Angela changed into a professional suit and, accompanied by Barney\u2019s representatives, headed to Morrison Group for the signing. The ceremony was formal, and Trey, being an outsider, did not attend.<\/p>\n<p>He waited in the reception area of Morrison Group\u2019s hall while Angela completed the proceedings. They arrived early. Trey sat but did not relax, constantly glancing toward the entrance. Yesterday, Ethan had told him that Khloe was on leave and might not return for some time. The Solara Energy collaboration project was not minor in Morrison Group. As the heir, even on leave, Khloe would not be completely unaware of it.<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
