“As long as you believe you’re doing the right thing, there’s no need to care what anyone else thinks.”

Khloe’s voice was calm, yet carried a quiet, unshakable strength. Her gaze softened as she looked at Nick, full of acceptance and understanding.

Hearing her words, the shadows clouding Nick’s expression began to lift. A faint smile curved his lips as he pulled her into his embrace. His voice regained its usual clarity. “With you here, none of that matters.”

“Mm… no matter what happens in the future, I’ll face it with you. Just like you said-you don’t need to put on a brave front in front of me…” Khloe rested against his shoulder, pouring all the warmth in her heart into gentle reassurance, hoping to soothe him even a little.

Nick composed himself and reminded her not to visit Michelle for the time being. In the midst of such a sensitive situation, he worried about the Keller family’s reaction—and even more about Khloe being caught in public scrutiny.

“I understand,” Khloe said. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to appear now. It might even upset Michelle. I’ll have my assistant send a message of comfort instead.”

Nick knew she could handle everything, but for some reason, just looking at her made him unbearably anxious.

At noon, Ethan arrived at Michelle’s hospital room carrying an expensive fruit basket.

Michelle lay on her side, staring blankly out the window, utterly drained.

Earlier that morning, while her family slept, she had used a fruit knife to reopen her wound, spilling blood across the bed. Fortunately, a nurse making her rounds discovered it in time to save her life.

The scare had exhausted Michelle’s mother as well, who had stationed multiple caregivers and security guards around the room, inside and out, 24 hours a day, before she could even rest at home.

“Why were you so reckless? You’ve barely started and already can’t endure it?” Ethan muttered as he squeezed the fruit basket among the pile of gifts. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Khloe and Nick had also sent their own high-end offerings-luxury supplements, carefully selected.

He muttered under his breath, “Even so… he hasn’t come to see you.” He was somewhat stunned; after all, Nick had managed the Hunt Group alone for years without a single mistake. He was a ruthless man.

Michelle didn’t respond, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

“Michelle,” Ethan began, “do you know how a war is lost?”

She remained silent, and he continued, “A war is only lost when one side surrenders. As long as the war isn’t over, no one has lost.”

Something in his words stirred Michelle slightly. She turned her head to look at him.

Ethan picked up a pastry from the table, took a bite, and then offered it to her. “Eat something. Your body is the foundation. If you collapse, the war is over.”

Michelle ignored him. He finished his own quickly, then stood and patted his hands together.

“You know best what Nick likes about Khloe… and what he likes about you. A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by ants. Just because Nick didn’t come see you this time doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.”
