Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588

Seeing Nick lower himself to patiently explain to the female doctor, even the chief physician couldn’t help but

be moved.

Outwardly, Nick’s reputation was formidable. He acted decisively, kept to himself, avoided socializing, and was indifferent to women. To outsiders, he seemed flawless, a man without weakness. In rumors, he was often demonized-cold-blooded, ruthless, driven only by profit, harsh and demanding. He was a terrifying presence.

But now, both doctors saw that beneath his icy exterior was a gentleness that no one had expected.

Even Nick himself wasn’t sure when it had started-when speaking from the heart, when interacting with people, had begun to come naturally.

Thoughts of Khloe now crossed his mind again. It was because of her, her presence, that he had let down his guard, that he had learned to connect with others.

At that moment, a sound came from outside the room.

Nick’s hand trembled slightly, as if sensing something.

Before Khloe could even swipe her card, the door was opened from the inside.

A gust of cold air swept in, yet it didn’t matter. She barely looked up—and already, her body collided with his familiar embrace.

Nick pulled her close, holding her as if the few days apart had been an eternity. 1

“Nick…”

Just a hug, and Khloe’s eyes were already red. A sudden ache filled her chest.

He didn’t need to say anything. Simply by holding her tightly, his longing and worry poured into her heart. The emotions he had held back over the phone-the ones he hadn’t shown-now surged like a storm, consuming her completely.

Khloe closed her eyes, pressing her hands into his broad back. She drew warmth from him while trying to give back all she could, letting it serve as reassurance.

After a long moment, Nick seemed to regain his composure, reluctantly releasing her. He had missed her so desperately that rationality had left him. The instant he saw her, all he had wanted was to claim her for himself, selfishly discarding everything else, never letting her go.

His lips trembled, and a faint haze clouded his dark eyes. His brows knitted as he studied her face intently, finally speaking in a hoarse whisper, “Let me look at you properly…”

His hands were slightly cool at first, tracing from her neck to her ears, climbing up to her cheeks, gradually warming as they lingered. His breath was gentle, his movements careful and deliberate.

Khloe, calm a moment ago, felt tears prickling her eyes under the intensity of his touch.

“Really? Just a few days apart, and you act like you don’t recognize me?”

“Even if I see you in the next life, I’d recognize my wife at a glance,” Nick said softly.

Khloe didn’t catch the depth of emotion behind his words, thinking he was merely teasing.

As he leaned in to kiss her, Khloe finally noticed that others were in the room. She quickly nodded, gently pushing his shoulder.

“There’s someone else here…”
