Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1025

"But where exactly is T7 extracted from? If it can treat terminal illnesses, why keep it secret?"

At last, Nick couldn't hold back and spoke again.

This was the core issue he cared about.

Even if it involved military-grade confidentiality, how could Naraida possibly refuse to commercialize something that could generate enormous profit?

More than that, it was a breakthrough that could overturn the entire medical field, redefine the global economy, and reshape control over critical resources.

Unless… its source material could not be made public at all.

Khloe had the same question, which was why she had asked Lucas to investigate the true nature of T7.

But even Lucas couldn't trace it. That meant the truth likely lay beyond the level they were even qualified to access.

Yet, with her husband's life on the line, she could not afford to hesitate over hidden risks.

"Maybe Naraida is just waiting for the right timing. Or maybe curing cancer comes with other hidden consequences… In any case, it's complicated. I don't want to think about it anymore."

She quickly cut him off. But even she knew her explanation sounded forced.

"Khloe…"

"Anyway, once we return and the drug is manufactured, we'll be able to verify whether it works. As long as it can cure you, I don't care about anything else."

Afraid the conversation would spiral into disagreement, she ended it decisively, climbed into bed, and turned away, curling herself tightly to one side.

The night fell into silence.

Nick's breathing gradually eased into calm steadiness.

After a while, she felt warmth behind her. His hand once again settled firmly around her waist. His breath brushed against her ear.

She shifted her hand slightly, then again—and in the end, she still reached back and held onto his fingers.

The next evening, on the eve of their return flight, Khloe checked her bag for the tenth time. Even though she knew the T7 couldn't simply disappear, unease still clung to her.

Nick took her hand, gently pulling her attention back.

"Will Winnie continue staying with the Morrison Group?"

"Winnie…" Khloe paused, dragging her thoughts back. "She's essentially a partner now. She's contributed the patent as equity, and the new drug development team will operate under her name."
