“Of course! Madam’s eyes were red when she came. She waited until the operating room lights-”
“Enough.”
Nick interrupted Lenny before he could finish.
In the past, he would have pressed for every detail without missing a single word. Not a trace of Khloe’s presence, no matter how small, would ever escape him.
Lenny immediately noticed the change in him, and a quiet ache settled in his chest. He lowered his head and poured a glass of warm water, placing it by Nick’s hand.
Nick shook his head.
“Tomorrow… help me take care of something.”
Early the next morning, Arista and George hurried to the ward, only to find several people already standing by Nick’s side.
One of them appeared to be a lawyer.
Seeing them, Lenny quickly stepped forward to explain.
It turned out Nick was going through notarization in advance-arranging all assets under his name.
Arista and George were both slightly surprised, but since they had no intention of interfering with Nick’s decision, they quietly stepped out to wait.
It was only by afternoon, when Loretta and Leon arrived, that the lawyer and others finally left.
Only Nick and Lenny remained in the room, but Nick’s complexion had already turned extremely poor.
“Sir, you should rest for a while,” Lenny said, worried that Nick’s body might not hold up.
But Nick did not respond. Instead, he handed over a document.
“Send this to the Morrison Group. Give it to her.”
Lenny’s hand trembled slightly as he took the file.
“Sir?”
Arista and George exchanged a look-and immediately saw the words on the document.
Divorce Agreement.
So Nick had truly made up his mind.
But even knowing this was the outcome, Arista still felt an ache in her chest.
Loretta and Leon had also seen it clearly. Yet neither of them spoke.
A few seconds of silence passed.
George frowned impatiently at Lenny.

“If you’re told to do it, then do it. Why are you hesitating?”
“Yes, sir.” Lenny lowered his head.
Just as he turned to leave, a subordinate entered the ward.
Seeing everyone inside, he hesitated for a moment.
“Mr. Hunt…”
“What is it?” George asked sharply.
“Well…”
“Spit it out!”
The subordinate flinched under the pressure and quickly lowered his head.
“Khloe has arrived. She said she wants to see Nick.”1
In an instant, all eyes turned toward Nick.
George’s expression darkened with fury.
“Didn’t I already give the order? Are you all deaf?”!
He had clearly instructed that Khloe was not to be allowed in. Were these people stupid enough to report this directly in front of Nick?
Arista frowned, wanting to say something but holding back.
Loretta also looked over at Nick with concern.
The subordinate quickly apologized and was about to leave when Leon stopped him. The old man’s expression remained steady.
“Since Nick is awake, we should ask for his opinion. If he doesn’t want to see her, then she doesn’t come in.”
“Let her in.”
As expected, Nick spoke.
There was no hesitation. No surprise. No resistance.
George’s throat tightened. He looked displeased and was about to speak when Arista stopped him with a glance.
Loretta stood up with her cane, wisely using an excuse to take Leon out of the room first.
When Khloe entered, only Lenny remained inside.
Lenny nodded at her slightly.
“Madam, Mr. Hunt is not in good condition right now.”
“I know. I won’t take much of his time.”
Khloe’s tone was polite and distant, as if she were nothing more than a formal visitor.
Her voice also reached Nick clearly.

Lenny nodded and stepped out.
Once the door closed, Khloe began walking toward the bedside.
