Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 906

Chapter 906

“The patient is out of immediate danger… for now. Thankfully, the transfusion was given in time,” the doctor said.

The Lemont family elders all let out quiet sighs of relief. After giving a few instructions to those staying behind, they left first.

They had considered going over to exchange a few polite words with Nick and Khloe, but in the end, Nick’s cold, imposing presence kept them at bay.

Barney was transferred to a regular ward, still unconscious.

Nick wanted to take Khloe home to rest, but she caught his arm.

“Alright.”

She didn’t say a word, yet Nick agreed without hesitation.

The two of them stayed in the nearby lounge until evening.

At last, one of their subordinates hurried in. “Sir, ma’am-Mr. Lemont has regained

consciousness.”

Khloe lifted her head from Nick’s shoulder, but before she could speak, he said softly, “Let’s go see him.”

This time, she tugged at his sleeve again.

“Maybe… we should just go back.”

But Nick didn’t waver. He took her hand and stood. “No. You’ve already given blood, and we’ve waited this long. At the very least, we should see him before we leave.”

Standing outside Barney’s room, Khloe felt an unfamiliar tension tighten in her chest.

She had imagined facing all kinds of people in all kinds of situations-but never, not once, had she imagined that she would one day face her own flesh and blood. She didn’t even know what name to give the emotions stirring inside her… or what kind of place they should occupy in her

heart,

Nick leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her eyelids, offering silent reassurance.

After a moment, Khloe pushed the door open.

The room was so quiet she could hear only her own heartbeat,

The spacious ward held no one else, Barney seemed to have been waiting for her. He lay flat on the bed, pale and frail, his entire body weakened,

Compared to how he usually looked, he seemed to have aged in an instant.

Khloe stepped to his bedside. Seeing the monitors and tubes attached to him, a tangle of emotions rose within her, leaving her speechless for a long while.

Barney’s gaze rested quietly on her.

From the moment she entered, something surged beneath the calm of his eyes-like waves hidden beneath the surface of the sea. He had no strength left. His throat moved as he tried to speak, forcing the words out with effort.

“Thank you… I heard… you donated your blood…

As soon as he woke, the nurse and his assistant had already told him everything.

Barney had never expected Khloe to come. Before losing consciousness, he had been thinking -of all the people in his life, the ones he had wronged most were his mother and his sister. If not for securing his inheritance of the Lemont family, his mother wouldn’t have had to endure a lifetime of compromise… wouldn’t have suffered to the point of destroying herself.

And the most innocent of all… was Khloe. Unlike him, she hadn’t even had the comfort of a warm childhood or a mother’s gentle love. She was nothing more than an irreparable mistake their mother had made.

Barney had once sworn that when he found his sister, he would atone for their mother’s sins- repay her a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

But… fate had its own cruel designs.

“I wouldn’t just stand by and watch someone die

Khloe’s voice was soft. It cut off his strained words-and perhaps, in some way, it was meant for herself as well.

Silence fell over the room again. Only the faint, rhythmic beeping of the machines filled the

air.

Khloe lowered her gaze. She looked at the needle marks and bruising on the back of Barney’s pale hand, then unconsciously touched the small puncture left on her own arm from the blood draw.

“I’m sorry,” Barney said after a long while. “I must have… disappointed you.”

From the looks of it, she already knew everything. More than anything, Barney wanted to hear her call him brother. He had imagined it countless times-after finding her, the two of them sitting together, talking as family, hand in hand,
