Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 323

"Nick…" Khloe murmured, and then jolted awake.

She opened her eyes, realizing she had somehow moved from the sofa to the bed—but she had no memory of getting there.

A thin sliver of sunlight slipped through the slightly parted curtains, and a warm ray landed across her brow. The gentle morning light brought a faint sense of peace.

Glancing at the time, it was still before noon—but the date… had already advanced by a full day. She had slept straight through to the next morning.

Khloe hurried to grab her phone, only to realize she hadn't charged it. It was dead. She'd deal with it at the hospital.

She quickly got ready and stepped out of the hotel, only to find a crowd gathered at the entrance, holding banners.

The banners were expressions of gratitude toward Nick, from the little girl he had saved.

Khloe recalled what Lenny had told her: the girl and her family had already visited Nick before, feeling immense guilt over his injuries. Now, the villagers, accompanied by local officials, had returned with the girl to present a banner in thanks.

Michelle, serving as the charity representative, immediately stepped forward to document the moment with photos—and maybe a brief interview to keep for records and later release.

Khloe came out just in time to see the little girl tugging at Michelle, chattering away.

"Michelle, I hope Nick gets well soon! I wish you and Nick a happy ever after!"

"Yes, Michelle, we are very sorry for what happened to Nick. We hope he recovers quickly. Please take care of yourself, too…"

The villagers spoke eagerly, one after another, clearly assuming Michelle and Nick were a couple.

Since the accident, Michelle had been constantly by Nick's side, day and night. Online rumors had also spread that Michelle and Nick were romantically involved. Kids love the internet; once they saw it, the story snowballed, and soon the entire village accepted it as fact.
