Chapter 1131
Did Khloe mean… for him to start with Clarice?
The reason he had ever managed to get in touch with Lacuna before was entirely because of Clarice.
An organization like Lacuna was terrifying. Once he became entangled with them, he would inevitably be dragged into their fallout sooner or later.
He had known from the start that Clarice was no innocent party. Perhaps she had been using him all along, waiting to reap the benefits from the sidelines.
Maybe… this was the perfect chance for him to reconcile with Khloe.
Nick and Khloe were already divorced. Even if Khloe regretted it and wanted to reconcile, the Hunt family would never agree again.
And Khloe had already taken action against Ariana just to retaliate against him-proof that she still cared.
If he could use this opportunity to bind himself to her again, or even rekindle their relationship, not only could he reclaim his dignity, but he might even secure a stake in Morrison Group in the future.
Compared to revenge against Khloe, perhaps becoming her man again was far more “cost-effective.”
Thinking this, Trey couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle.
Since he couldn’t let go of Khloe anyway… then they might as well torment each other for a lifetime.
Late at night, Nick woke in the hospital room.
The moment he opened his eyes, his first instinct was to look toward the bedside.
Lenny was curled up asleep on the sofa nearby. In the partially drawn inner partition, a caregiver rested quietly inside.
Other than that, the entire suite was empty.
Streetlights from below were filtered through the curtains, casting broken circles of light that swayed faintly across the floor.
Perhaps because of the worsening condition, even breathing felt painful.
He picked up his phone from the side and swiped through the screen, seeing countless messages. But among all of them, there wasn’t a single one he wanted to see.
Having once stepped through the gates of death, he had thought he would become more detached. Yet even in his dreams, it was still Khloe-him and her sharing sweetness and hardship, to the point where he didn’t even want to wake up.
If time could just stop… Stop at the moment she loved him the most, and at the moment they were both most certain of each other.
“Sir, you’re awake…”
Lenny jolted awake suddenly. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Nick looking at his phone.

He immediately stood up, intending to press the call button for the doctor on duty. 1
“Lenny.”
Nick called him back. His voice was very low.
“Did she come?”
“Sir…”
Lenny’s gaze flickered. He knew exactly who Nick was referring to.
Arista and Loretta had given instructions–if Nick woke up, no one was to mention Khloe. Everyone understood clearly that the situation had already become irreversible.
Since Khloe had chosen to cut things off completely, the sooner Nick gave up, the better. Otherwise, enduring illness while also suffering emotional torment-how pitiful would that be?
Seeing Lenny hesitate, a faint redness crept into Nick’s dry eyes. He gave a self-mocking smile.
“Forget it. I already know.”
“Madam came,” Lenny finally said through gritted teeth. “After hearing the news, she rushed over immediately. She was very worried about you, but… the chairman didn’t allow her to see you, so she was sent away.”
“So even if I die, it still won’t be complete relief for her.”
Lenny had expected that hearing this might bring Nick some comfort-at least to show that Madam still cared deeply for him. But instead, Nick’s tone only turned more sarcastic.
“Sir, don’t overthink it,” Lenny said quickly. “Madam would never think that way. I think… she might even feel regretful and blame herself seeing you suffer…”
Nick tightened his grip on his phone and lowered his head.
“Is that so?”
