Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1055

But now, hearing Khloe's lofty, well-meaning words of comfort, Winnie no longer felt as certain.

If being together couldn't bring happiness, then perhaps parting… might also be a kind of fulfillment—a release.

…

Khloe stayed at the Morrison Group for only half a day.

She had come specifically to examine the specialized technology Winnie had brought.

Ethan personally took her to the lab.

But her schedule was tight. She had to return home before evening. Nick was still undergoing medication treatment—she needed to be there with him.

Yet, after seeing the efficiency of that technology with her own eyes, Khloe couldn't calm her thoughts.

If T7 hadn't been lost, then in less than a month, they could have developed a targeted drug capable of reversing Nick's condition…

By the time she returned to Cloud Palace, Khloe spotted Lenny coming out of the villa from a distance, preparing to leave.

She stepped out of the car and greeted him, noticing the briefcase in his hand.

"How are things at the Hunt Group?"

"For now, things are stable," Lenny replied. "But the projects still aren't going smoothly."

There was a trace of hesitation in his expression. Khloe guessed Nick had told him not to say too much.

After all, she must be really worried about Michael right now.

"Is it because of Olympus?"

"Yes."

Lenny nodded honestly.

Olympus had previously made moves against both the Morrison and Hunt Groups. But recently—perhaps because the matter with Winnie and the Olson family had just settled, and Morrison Group had regained the upper hand—they had shifted their focus, now competing directly with Hunt Group for resources.

Leaning against him, Khloe replied calmly, "Michael went to Jayelle City."

Nick's hand paused slightly. "He left on his own?"

"Mm. Without a word." Khloe hesitated briefly. "Winnie is having a hard time."

Nick didn't speak.

Khloe continued, "I've asked Barney to keep an eye on him. He has a company in Jayelle City—he probably won't do anything reckless… but Winnie is worried. She's afraid he won't come back."

Nick lowered his gaze to her. "Why wouldn't he come back? It wasn't easy for them to end up together."

Khloe spoke softly, "Michael may seem gentle on the surface—someone who would give up everything for love. But deep down, he's proud. Maybe… facing the person he loves right now is its own kind of torment."

After a pause, she tilted her head up to look at him.

"If it were you—facing someone you love, but knowing that being together might no longer bring happiness… what would you do?"
