Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Khloe knew Lauren’s health was fragile. Even though the elderly lady disliked being disturbed, Khloe would still make sure someone regularly brought high-quality supplements to Lauren, under Trey’s name.

“Sigh… I’m getting old. One can’t live forever, right? All these old ailments… they’re really just emotional problems. The doctor said I got too worked up, my temper flared, so now I have to be observed in the hospital for a few days. I’ve been thinking about you these past few days… could you come see me?”

Lauren’s voice was weak, tinged with melancholy.

Khloe felt a pang of guilt. Lauren had gone out of her way to call-could her sudden illness have something to do with Khloe moving out? At over eighty, Lauren’s mind was remarkably sharp. Trey’s clumsy lies might not fool

her at all.

“All right. I have something to take care of right now, but I’ll come see you later. Send me the hospital room info,” Khloe said without hesitation, recalling how much care Lauren had shown her in the past.

After hanging up, she immediately called her assistant, asking them to prepare a gift for Lauren. Once she wrapped up matters at the Morrison Group, she grabbed the package and drove straight to the hospital.

Her mind kept racing, thinking of how to calm the old lady when she arrived, completely ignoring the messages from Nick on her phone.

At the hospital parking garage, Khloe parked and immediately grabbed the gift to head upstairs.

“You bad woman! You bad, bad woman! Always bullying me! Give me back Angela!”

A familiar child’s voice rang out, making her pause.

Khloe looked over and saw Pete, brought downstairs by Trey’s assistant. Clearly, it was late, and the assistant was trying to take him home.

Sharp-eyed, Pete spotted Khloe and immediately wriggled free, racing over. Before she could react, he picked something up from the ground and hurled it at her arm.

Khloe didn’t indulge him. As soon as he tried to run off after his tantrum, she leapt forward and twisted his arm.

“Pete, do you really think no one’s here to stop you? That I won’t teach you a lesson? Did you forget what I told you last time-my punishments are heavy!”

“Waaahhh-“Pete cried out, knowing Khloe’s temper all too well, trying to make a scene.

The assistant rushed over, flustered. “Ma’am, he doesn’t know better. Don’t be upset. I was about to take him home anyway, and everyone else is waiting upstairs for you…”

“Perfect,” Khloe said, unfazed. “Since he’s holding such a grudge against me, he should make it clear in front of his family. Pete, if you love Angela so much, I’ll do a good deed for you-she can become your mom.”

Ignoring the assistant’s protests, Khloe grabbed Pete and started walking. (1)

Pete struggled wildly, dragging himself across the floor, wailing and cursing. He knew he shouldn’t go up there; Khloe would ruin him!

Her move worked. The assistant lunged to stop her, and Khloe released Pete. The boy’s momentum carried him forward, and he landed hard on the floor with a painful thud. Now truly hurt, he cried even louder.

The assistant, flustered, had no choice but to check on Pete and soothe him. Khloe, however, immediately called

Trey.

“Are you at the hospital? Pete’s hurt. Come and see him.”
