"You're saying… Khloe came?"
Michelle froze. Didn't Nick explicitly order the news to be kept from her? Even the Hunt family had only just learned of the accident. From their expressions, there was no intention of telling Khloe.
So… how had she gotten here already?
Lenny's expression remained calm. "That's correct. Miss Roswell is inside. Miss Keller, please leave."
A shadow passed over Michelle's eyes. Her lips twitched, but she said nothing more.
Her hands still held the supplements she had brought for Nick, praying he would wake today and see her first. But with Khloe here, all her hopes collapsed.
Just as Michelle, crestfallen, turned to leave, the room door opened.
"Michelle."
Khloe had heard the movement and stepped out.
The moment Michelle's eyes met hers, guilt flared in her chest. She quickly averted her gaze.
"Khloe… Nick's condition isn't good. Thank you for taking care of him."
Lowering her head, she extended the supplements she was carrying toward Khloe.
Lenny instinctively moved to intercept, worried Khloe might refuse, but she calmly took them without a word.
"I will accept your concern on behalf of my husband," Khloe said, her lips twitching slightly without a trace of a smile. "Taking care of him is my responsibility as his wife. There's no need for you to worry about it."
Michelle knew Khloe's words were a pointed rebuke, but she had no words to respond. She cast a quick glance at Nick through the doorway and silently turned to leave.
Once Michelle departed, Lenny immediately stepped forward to take the supplements from Khloe. "Leave these to me. I'll handle them."
Khloe didn't stop him. The supplements were still warm, and Nick wasn't awake yet—throwing them away would have been wasteful.
