Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1139

It was a threat—and not even a subtle one.

Michelle's brows tightened. Her whole body tensed.

Nick had always meant what he said.

Her current work was closely tied to the Hunt Group; in effect, he was her immediate superior. The warning carried real weight. After hesitating again and again, she gave up the idea of contacting Khloe.

But she immediately called Lenny instead. Whatever treatment Nick planned to undergo, his family needed to know—just in case something went wrong.

As soon as he received Michelle's call, Lenny rushed over.

They ran into each other right at the hospital entrance.

They hadn't seen each other much lately, and even when they did, it was always hurried. Time truly was the best healer—whatever had been between them… seemed to have completely faded.

Lenny looked noticeably thinner. He clearly hadn't had an easy time these past days.

Michelle opened her mouth, about to offer a greeting, but Lenny frowned. The first thing he asked when he saw her was about the female doctor.

"She's gone."

"Why did you let her leave?" Lenny's voice dropped. "You should've kept her—at least until I could investigate her background."

Michelle hadn't expected that tone from him. Whatever sympathy she'd felt vanished instantly. "Hey, are you giving me orders now? I told you out of goodwill!"

"Thank you, Miss Keller," Lenny said with a slight nod. "But since you know the boss's condition, you shouldn't have brought someone in to disturb him without permission."

With that, he turned to leave.

Michelle froze for a few seconds, then grabbed his arm.

"What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me?"

"I wouldn't dare." His tone softened a fraction, polite as ever. But his attitude remained cold, without the slightest concession.
