Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120

“Did something happen?” Khloe asked.

Loretta’s words immediately made Khloe anxious.

“I heard there’s an emergency at the newly acquired lithium mine, and there have even been casualties,” Loretta replied, uncertain whether to continue.

Leon sighed and took over the explanation.

“Nick has always been extremely responsible. All the weight of the Hunt Group rests on his shoulders now, and he never allows himself a moment of slack. Whenever there’s a crisis, he insists on handling it alone. Until the problem is resolved, he probably won’t get any proper sleep or rest…”

“No rest? How can his body endure that?” Khloe’s voice trembled with worry.

She thought back to his recent car accident-though the injuries were minor, he still needed proper care and rest!

“That’s exactly what we worry about most,” Loretta said, shaking her head anxiously. “He hates seeing us worry. Even when something happens, he won’t tell us the details. These past few days, he hasn’t come home at all. We only learned about the situation after making inquiries.”

Loretta’s worry was palpable. Nick never wanted others to worry about him-but that was precisely what made them fret. He seemed capable of everything, able to manage any crisis, yet he never knew how to take care of himself. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before he completely exhausted himself.

Khloe’s expression darkened, her heart twisting with an unrelenting weight. She no longer had any appetite for the meal before her.

All this time, Nick’s hurried phone calls had made her think he was simply too busy to pay attention to her. She hadn’t imagined he was facing such a serious situation-and hadn’t even returned home.

Now, thinking back, his voice had sounded off, hoarse even. That day, after the car accident, he had simply said he had “something to deal with,” just so she wouldn’t worry.

Could it be that the current situation was even more serious? Or perhaps he had run into a difficulty he didn’t want her to know about?

Her thoughts plummeted.

But to avoid adding to Leon and Loretta’s stress, she forced herself to ease the mood, complimenting the food and attempting small talk. Yet even as dinner ended, her mind remained consumed with concern for Nick.

Suddenly, a plate slipped from her hands and shattered on the floor.

Her thoughts snapped back with a jolt. She had been helping the housemaids carry dishes back to the kitchen and had accidentally caused a mishap.

“Khloe! Are you okay? I told you there was no need to help! Did you get hurt? Let Grandma see!”

Loretta hurried over, pulling Khloe close to inspect for any injuries.

“I’m fine,” Khloe shook her head, apologetic. “I’m sorry, Grandma… I broke your plate.”

“One plate is nothing. If you were hurt, that’s when I’d be heartbroken.”

Loretta’s voice hardened slightly, unusually stern as she firmly guided Khloe from the kitchen to sit in the living

room.

“Sit here with me and talk for a while. If you’re tired, you can go rest in your room. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have someone escort you. This is your home now. When you’re here, there’s nothing you need to do.”

Loretta’s words once again touched Khloe deeply. The warmth in them made her feel as though Loretta was truly her grandmother-someone she could lean on without hesitation.

Khloe immediately wrapped her arms around Loretta, her eyes brimming with tears. “Grandma…”

“My dear child,” Loretta said softly, patting her back, a gentle smile spreading across her face, “do you want me to help you video call him?”
