"Comforting her wouldn't change anything. If it could, she wouldn't be in this state."Mr. Olson remained unmoved. In a cold voice, he ordered the servants nearby to bring over the private doctor they had hired.Until Veronica returned to normal, she was not allowed to step outside her room. No one was permitted to see her either.Once his orders were given, Veronica was placed under strict confinement—even Mrs. Olson was restricted from visiting her.In the past, within a few hours at most, Veronica would have come out to admit her mistake. But this time, her silence was unsettlingly prolonged—far beyond what Mr. Olson had expected.The doctor arrived quickly. After Veronica had showered and changed clothes, she underwent a full examination.There were not many external injuries. On her neck and back were numerous scratch marks, along with large patches of bruising, as though she had been violently restrained and beaten. All other physical indicators remained within normal range

Khloe's sudden movement jolted Nick awake. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "You okay?"The moment he spoke, his strong arms had already drawn her into his embrace."I don't know. I just feel uneasy. I think I had a nightmare…""Having nightmares more often lately?" he asked, frowning with concern as he reached up to feel her forehead. It was cold, covered in a fine layer of sweat.She shook her head and tightened her arms around him.Feeling his steady heartbeat and breathing in his familiar scent, her restless emotions quickly began to settle."Maybe it's just pregnancy hormones. Let me comfort you two. Want to hear a story?"He sat up, adjusted his posture, and pulled her comfortably into his arms, gently patting her back."What kind of story?""A fairy tale?"She closed her eyes and smiled faintly. "You can tell fairy tales too? Which one?""The Little Prince," he said softly. "Want to hear it?"She shook her head. "I want to hear your story.""My story?""Yes. What

"But where exactly is T7 extracted from? If it can treat terminal illnesses, why keep it secret?"At last, Nick couldn't hold back and spoke again.This was the core issue he cared about.Even if it involved military-grade confidentiality, how could Naraida possibly refuse to commercialize something that could generate enormous profit?More than that, it was a breakthrough that could overturn the entire medical field, redefine the global economy, and reshape control over critical resources.Unless… its source material could not be made public at all.Khloe had the same question, which was why she had asked Lucas to investigate the true nature of T7.But even Lucas couldn't trace it. That meant the truth likely lay beyond the level they were even qualified to access.Yet, with her husband's life on the line, she could not afford to hesitate over hidden risks."Maybe Naraida is just waiting for the right timing. Or maybe curing cancer comes with other hidden consequences… In any

Khloe shook her head fiercely, repeating only one word, "No."Nick did not rush her. He simply stayed with her, waiting for her emotions to settle.Soon, it was time to board.He tried to take her with him by force, but she refused to stand."Come on," he said softly. "Lacuna has already targeted you. It's dangerous to stay here.""You said you'll never forgive anyone who hurts me. Find them now!""I will. But right now, you and the baby—""If they're really that dangerous, then even if we manage to escape today, we might not escape tomorrow. When you're gone, I'll just wait for them to come after me, to kill me!"For the first time, she argued back with him—truly losing her temper, her face flushed with emotion.But her words struck right at his weakest point.When he was gone… if she encountered danger again, or made any reckless decision again, he would no longer be able to stop her. And worse—what was pushing her into despair and fury right now… was him.Seeing him fall

"Don't make such a fuss. The doctor already said I'm fine," Khloe said."The doctor clearly said you need rest. If you don't rest properly, 'fine' will turn into 'not fine' real fast." Nick sighed, his furrowed brows never once relaxing.Seeing that, Khloe smiled and reached out, smoothing the crease between his brows."Alright, I'll rest properly. I just want to take a nap now.""Good. Sleep. I'll stay right here with you.""Mm."She hummed softly, said no more, and held onto his hand as she closed her eyes.She really was exhausted these past few days. Sleepiness rose like a tide, pulling her under.In the haze before sleep took her fully, she felt a soft kiss land on her forehead.…A biting, icy sensation of snow suddenly swept through her entire body. All she could see was endless white. The world around her was so bright it felt almost transparent. In the piercing cold, she used every ounce of strength she had to drag a small unconscious boy up onto her back."Don't fa
