Khloe actually had one more thing she wanted to tell Charlotte: Ethan had come looking for her yesterday.
But at that time, she had accompanied Nick to the hospital, and she didn't know how that matter would develop—she didn't want Charlotte to get her hopes up for nothing.
Now, just as Khloe was about to ask, Nick interrupted.
"Who are you chatting with?"
"Charlotte. She complimented your photography skills."
A faint smile curved Nick's lips. He wrapped his arms around Khloe from behind and kissed her cheek.
Leaning back into his embrace, Khloe casually set her phone on the coffee table.
"Charlotte also mentioned something else," she said, tilting her head. "Remember the medical team that cared for you before? There's a female doctor named Anna Reid. She came to see me at the office today, saying she had some alternative remedies she wanted to try on you."
Nick paused mid-motion, his brow barely furrowing.
"Anna?" He repeated the name in a flat tone, betraying no emotion.
"Do you remember her?"
"No."
He released his hold on Khloe and, seemingly uninterested in the news, picked up a glass from the table and took a sip.
Khloe glanced at him but didn't press further. Nick wasn't the kind to engage with unrelated people—forgetting her was normal.
"But I think she's genuinely a good person. She still cares about your condition. Even if it's an alternative remedy, it might be worth a try."
Khloe wanted nothing more than to cure Nick's illness.
That afternoon, just after arriving in Swinterland, she had sent the staff to settle their things while she accompanied Nick straight to the specialized hospital.
Although the local tumor research was world-class, after a comprehensive analysis of Nick's condition, the best they could offer was a drug regimen to slow its progression. The risk of further deterioration could only be slightly reduced.
Essentially, it wasn't much better than what they could do back home, far from what Khloe had hoped for.
