Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 313

Loretta wanted to stay overnight in the hospital with Khloe. After much pleading, Khloe could only insist that she return home to rest.

Once Loretta was sent off, Khloe returned to the ward and noticed Arista speaking quietly on the phone in a corner. She was likely updating George on the situation.

Arista's voice was choked with emotion. Whatever the person on the other end said seemed to displease her, and after a pause, she muttered, "He's your son," before hanging up.

Khloe waited a moment, then entered the room.

Arista glanced up, smoothing her expression, and gave Khloe a gentle smile. "Tonight, Nick will be in your care. If anything happens, call us immediately. If you can't manage, just step out and rest. There are plenty of people here to help."

"Okay," Khloe replied, nodding. She stepped forward and hugged Arista briefly. "Thank you… Mom."

Arista was momentarily surprised, then understood. Khloe's gratitude was for Nick.

Though Nick had lost his mother at a young age, he had Arista as a stepmother who cared for him as if he were her own son.

"There's nothing to thank me for. We're family… Khloe, if Nick—"

Arista glanced at Nick as though about to continue, but she stopped herself. Earlier, during her call with George, she had explained Nick's condition. While he was concerned, most of his worry wasn't about Nick's recovery—it was whether Nick would have the strength to manage the Hunt Group afterward. He had only this one son. If not, he needed to make plans quickly.

Khloe seemed to understand Arista's thoughts. Before she could speak, Khloe softly said, "No matter what happens, I'll be by his side."

"You're still young. If Nick doesn't wake…"

Arista's eyes filled with tears. She was touched that Khloe could say such words and felt relieved for Nick. Yet, long illness leaves no filial comfort, and Khloe and Nick had only just married; their wedding hadn't even taken place.

"Nick will wake up." Khloe smiled faintly, interrupting her.

Arista nodded. "You're right."
