“Me? I’m fine.” Khloe froze for a moment, then realized. “Oh, sorry-I just took a call from Uncle Oscar.”

Nick still held his phone, open to the dial screen. Their earlier conversation had ended too abruptly when Khloe had briefly talked to Oscar. She hadn’t expected that in just a few minutes, Nick would be this worried.

Hearing her explanation, Nick finally relaxed his clenched hands. A faint embarrassment crossed his face, and he gave her a gentle, almost protective hug. “Next time… let Lenny pick you up.”

“I’m not a child anymore… and besides, would you really want to tire him out?” Khloe felt a warmth in her chest, though her voice carried a mixture of amusement and exasperation. Especially at a moment like this, Nick relied on Lenny constantly, giving him tasks over and over during the day.

“I see…” Nick admitted, realizing his own thoughtlessness. “Then… let someone else do it.”

Not wanting him to linger by the doorway any longer, Khloe quickly closed the door and led him back into the

room.

She noticed he was already putting on his shoes, the car keys still on the entryway table-but he was wearing the pajamas she had personally picked out for him.

“You weren’t planning on coming after me, were you?” she asked, drawing a sharp breath.

“Mhm.” Nick nodded calmly, showing no sign that he saw anything wrong.

Khloe inhaled sharply. “Nick!”

“What?”

“I really shouldn’t even pay attention to you!”

This time, she was truly angry.

“I told you to take care of yourself! How can you keep ignoring your health like this? Don’t you know what condition your body is in? Why do you always make me worry like this?” She glared at him, her tone firm, her expression stripped of all playfulness. For the first time, she was giving Nick a real black look.

Nick’s composure faltered instantly. “Khloe-”

But she ignored him, striding to the corner of the living room and plopping down on the sofa. She really wasn’t going to respond.

“Sorry,”

Nick followed slowly. His nerves were still raw, and his right leg was recovering, so he couldn’t walk quickly.

Out of the corner of her eye, Khloe watched him struggle forward, and her heart ached. But thinking about how he constantly refused to take care of himself, her frustration flared.

He finally sat beside her, his gaze serious, brows dark and furrowed, his voice thick and heavy. “I remember. From now on, I’ll do everything you say, okay?”

Khloe said nothing.

Nick coaxed her further. “I’ll follow the doctor’s orders. No unnecessary movement. I’ll rest.”

She had planned to teach him a lesson and let him stew a little. But as soon as he finished speaking, a cough escaped him, and she couldn’t contain herself any longer.

“You’re not feeling well?” she asked, reaching for her phone. “I’ll have Lenny call the doctor!”

“No.” Nick’s eyes gleamed with a sly spark as he gently pressed her hand. “You said we shouldn’t bother Lenny every time, remember?”
