Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 767

"Madam, I also believe he'll come back. But most likely… that person isn't him."

Lenny's words cut through the tense silence. Khloe felt a pang of defeat. She sat still for a long moment before finally nodding, then waved him off.

…

Evening. On the outskirts of Goldmont City, in a scenic villa, a man in loose hospital clothing was pushing his body through grueling exercises under a doctor's guidance.

Lucas watched quietly from the side, waiting until it was time to break.

Nick was soaked in sweat, his complexion pale from the relentless practice. To return to Khloe's side, he was exhausting himself to the limit of his endurance.

This past week, his days had revolved around medication and rehabilitation exercises, and the results were surprisingly better than expected. He could now walk freely, and control over his body was largely restored.

Yet, compared to before the accident, many movements still demanded effort. The doctor warned that this could be a temporary improvement from the high-dose medication. A full recovery would only be clear after he had stopped the drugs and his body stabilized.

But the moment he gained some strength, Nick was determined to return to Goldmont City. Lucas escorted him personally, leaving nothing to chance.

He had expected Nick to rush straight to Khloe the moment he returned. But to his surprise, Nick was patient.

"Did you go out this morning?" Lucas asked casually, handing him a towel.

Nick took it and rubbed his face hard. He didn't answer, eyes fixed on his fingers, which trembled slightly. His gaze was heavy, dark, as if weighed down by something unsaid.

Seeing the veins on his forehead tense, Lucas continued, "I saw that Khloe attended the bid with Solara Energy Group this morning."

At the mention of her name, Nick's hand tightened on the towel, knuckles whitening. His Adam's apple moved with difficulty.
