Chapter 525
“How is my husband’s condition now? Is he recovering well?”
That was what Khloe cared about most, and she asked it the moment she sat down.
The doctors exchanged glances before going over the test results one by one.
Overall, all the indicators were normal. Most of the internal bruising had been absorbed. The main issues left were physical weakness and muscle injuries, which meant he needed to be careful and avoid overexertion.
Khloe finally relaxed and turned to look at Nick. “Did you hear that? You still need to rest properly.”
“Mm, I heard.” Nick replied softly, pulling her closer until she was almost leaning against his chest.
Khloe asked again, “What about the occasional fever? Is that normal too? Does it mean the inflammation in his body is still serious?”
“That… is possible.” The doctor hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Khloe was about to say more, but Nick wrapped an arm around her and pulled her to her feet. “Let’s go. I’m hungry. Let’s eat.”
“Wait…”
Khloe felt that something wasn’t quite right, but Nick insisted on dragging her away.
Before the examination, Nick had already spoken to the doctors, asking them to perform only basic tests.
Although the specialists had advised him to undergo a gastroscopy and biopsy as soon as possible, he stubbornly insisted on waiting until Khloe left the country.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would definitely stay behind to accompany him.
He didn’t want her to stay with him.
Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance of bad news, he didn’t want her to worry alongside him.
Originally, Loretta had called that morning and suggested having a meal together. Khloe had agreed, but no matter what, Nick refused.
Khloe was leaving early the day after tomorrow, and for these two days, he didn’t want anyone taking even a minute of her time. Not even his grandmother.
So Khloe could only stop by to see the elderly couple briefly on her way out that morning.
Loretta and Leon lacked nothing materially; they simply missed Khloe and Nick from time to time. But when they learned that Nick and Khloe had begun preparing for their wedding, they didn’t intrude much.
They only said that if there was anything they could help with, the two of them were too idle at home and found it boring.
Khloe pressed Nick’s head down as she agreed, saying that once she returned from abroad, she would come home and stay for a few days.

They would also set a date for the wedding and discuss the details together.
Hearing this, Loretta instantly beamed like a child, holding Khloe’s hand and repeating, “Then you must come home as soon as possible.”
Khloe wanted French food, so Nick hired the country’s top French culinary team and arranged a private lunch for the two of them at the Sky Tower’s top-floor restaurant beside the Hunt Group headquarters.
The restaurant was wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, like a dreamlike spire. Standing inside felt as though one had stepped into a crystal palace.
But its most breathtaking feature was the view.
Sky Tower had eighty-seven floors and was the tallest building in Goldmont City, offering a sweeping panorama of the entire city.
Its vantage point was unmatched.
Sunrise in the morning was a spectacle; the evening glow was the gentlest; and at night, the city lights resembled a vast, scattered galaxy.
