Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1080

"George! Shut up!" Arista immediately stopped him.

George's words were far too harsh—Nick, already mentally and physically shattered, simply could not bear them.

George also realized he had gone too far. But before he could step forward to comfort him, Nick once again spat, "Get out."

His voice had gone eerily calm. Yet, he still stood with his back to them, as though refusing to allow either of them to come any closer.

George's anger had not fully subsided, and he was about to speak again when Arista quickly covered his mouth, shooting him a frantic warning look.

Remembering the promise he had made to his wife earlier, he forced himself to hold back.

Arista turned back to Nick and said gently, "Nick, calm down first. Your health is the foundation of everything. If you ruin your body like this, how will you face Khloe and the baby in her belly?"

Nick did not respond. He simply stood there, his tall frame seemingly swallowed by a suffocating shadow that made him feel untouchable and cold.

Arista knew further persuasion was useless for now. She silently pulled George out of the room.

The room fell into silence again.

Only then did Nick's body suddenly loosen, as though all strength had been drained from him, and he collapsed to the floor.

He slumped against the foot of the bed. A dull pain lingered in his stomach—burning, not intense, but piercing and nauseating.

Yes. Khloe was right. Everyone was right.

It was him who was useless.

This body… was useless.

Suddenly, Nick clenched his fist and pressed it hard against his lower abdomen, digging in with force so deep that the veins on his neck bulged as if they were about to rupture. Only then did he abruptly stop.

Time passed quickly, and before long, dusk had fallen.

Arista paced in and out of Cloud Palace repeatedly, hoping Khloe would return—but she already knew that was impossible.

Nick had locked himself in his room all day. During that time, even the doctor was not allowed in, and he refused to eat a single bite.
