Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1029

"Don't make such a fuss. The doctor already said I'm fine," Khloe said.

"The doctor clearly said you need rest. If you don't rest properly, 'fine' will turn into 'not fine' real fast." Nick sighed, his furrowed brows never once relaxing.

Seeing that, Khloe smiled and reached out, smoothing the crease between his brows.

"Alright, I'll rest properly. I just want to take a nap now."

"Good. Sleep. I'll stay right here with you."

"Mm."

She hummed softly, said no more, and held onto his hand as she closed her eyes.

She really was exhausted these past few days. Sleepiness rose like a tide, pulling her under.

In the haze before sleep took her fully, she felt a soft kiss land on her forehead.

…

A biting, icy sensation of snow suddenly swept through her entire body. All she could see was endless white. The world around her was so bright it felt almost transparent. In the piercing cold, she used every ounce of strength she had to drag a small unconscious boy up onto her back.

"Don't fall asleep… We'll catch up to the team soon…

"When we get back, we'll have hot milk… and something good to eat.

"I'll sing you a song…"

Her small frame staggered forward under the weight, each step leaving a deep imprint in the solid snow. Her thick shoes were already soaked through from long exposure to snowmelt. Her legs were going numb. By the end, she was barely able to keep going.

But the boy on her back suddenly murmured something, his breath faint and fragile.

Abruptly, Khloe opened her eyes—dragged back into reality.

It was fully dark now. The curtains were drawn tight, and the man beside her slept with steady, even breathing.
