Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1045

Seeing that his always stubborn and unyielding son had resorted to such an irrational act, Oscar felt both heartache and rage. He immediately declared that once the culprit was found, he would tear them to pieces without mercy.

Michael had woken up in the afternoon, but upon seeing Winnie sitting by his bedside, he said nothing—only turned his head away again and went back to sleep.

By the time Oscar arrived, Michael was still asleep.

Winnie knew Michael had not yet recovered from what had happened. All the questions and words pressing at her throat were forcibly swallowed back down.

The police had already opened a case. Lucas and the Morrison family had also sent out people to investigate. It would not be long before the truth of what happened last night came to light.

Yet, for the first time, Winnie found herself wishing she knew nothing at all.

The next morning, Khloe and Nick returned to Goldmont City.

The first piece of news they received upon landing was about Michael.

Khloe wanted Nick to go home and rest first, while she rushed straight to the hospital to see Michael—but Nick refused to leave her side, so the two went together.

Michael seemed unwilling to see anyone and remained asleep the entire time.

Oscar, physically exhausted, had already returned home, leaving only Winnie to stay by his side.

After assessing Michael's condition, the doctors concluded that he was not in a state suitable for disturbance.

Khloe and Nick met the doctor together with Winnie in a private consultation.

After learning the details, Khloe nearly blacked out on the spot. A surge of blood rushed to her head.

Nick quickly pulled her into his arms. Although he, too, was deeply shaken, he still reminded her immediately, "Don't get worked up. You're pregnant."

"Those damned bastards…"

Khloe gritted her teeth, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. The force was so great she could barely feel the pain.

Seeing this, Nick quickly pried her fingers open and forced her hand into his.

"Sorry… are you okay?"

Guilt flashed in her eyes. Nick immediately lifted her face in his hands.

"I'm fine. I'm more worried about you. Now that things have come to this, Michael still needs us. You absolutely cannot fall apart right now."

"You're right. We can't fall apart. The ones who deserve to die are those bastards. They will all die horrible deaths! Right now, the most important thing… is Michael."

Winnie's emotions were not much better than Khloe's at this moment, but she had regained some composure.

Right now, Michael needed her. She had to stay by his side. She could not cry. She could not break. She could not fall apart.

After Khloe and Nick finished speaking with the doctor and came out, Charlotte and Ethan were already waiting outside.

It had already been a full day. Michael neither ate nor drank—he only slept. The doctors could do nothing but keep him on glucose infusion.
