Nick opened his eyes. Through the haze, he saw the silhouette of a woman standing beside the bed–and for an instant, Khloe’s face took shape before him.

Her cool, clear eyes seemed filled with worry.

But as his vision sharpened, he realized the person before him was not the one he longed for.

In a moment of such utter vulnerability, longing spread like wild vines, growing uncontrollably-more unbearable than the pain in his body. A hollow ache unfurled from deep within Nick’s heart and seeped into every limb.

He had just been dreaming of her. In the dream, Khloe had come to him. She said that no matter what happened, she would stay by his side.

And in that dream, he did not hide his desire. He kept her with him.

But now the dream had ended, and reality once again stretched the distance between them.

Nick looked at the back of his hand, bruised purple and blue from the IV, and slowly curled his fingers. His brow tightened.

“Mr. Hunt, are you feeling very uncomfortable? Have some warm water-it might help,” the female doctor said softly, sensing his condition was worsening as she poured him a cup and held it out.

Nick did not take it. His gaze remained fixed on his hand.

The head physician, familiar with his temperament, stopped the female doctor when she tried to say more. He adjusted the drip rate-though it could not ease the pain, at least it was something.

“You may go,” Nick said in a low voice. “I want to be alone.”

His words echoed through the quiet, empty ward, sounding especially desolate.

The female doctor left with the lead physician, reluctant. After only a few steps, she stopped.

“Mr. Hunt, if it hurts, you don’t have to endure it alone. And if you miss her… you can tell her.”

She didn’t truly know what it meant to love someone so deeply. But she believed that the woman Nick loved would not be so fragile.

That day in the hotel room, when she saw Khloe disguised and coming to him, she had understood-neither of them loved the other any less.

If Khloe could be by his side right now, wouldn’t the pain… be easier to bear?

Nick did not answer. Realizing she had spoken out of turn, the doctor lowered her head before the lead physician

could scold her and hurried out.

The ward fell completely silent.

Nick lifted his hand and stared at the ring he could never bring himself to remove from his ring finger. A bitter curve touched his lips.

The night grew deeper. The pain grew fiercer.

He tossed and turned until a muffled groan escaped him. He tried not to make too much noise, not wanting to disturb anyone outside, but the coughing would not stop. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

It splattered onto the floor, dark and shocking against the pale light.

Amid the wrenching coughs, the ward door was flung open from the outside.

A figure rushed in.

Khloe hadn’t expected she would still be too late. When she saw how frail and drawn he looked, her heart shattered in an instant. She had long suspected he was hiding something from her.
