Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's Match: Kabanata 311 - Kabanata 320

The medical facilities near the border weren't advanced, but Nick's injuries were severe—multiple internal bleeding, damage to several organs. Immediate treatment was the only chance for survival. Even here, in the best hospital available, it had been touch-and-go.At the moment of the accident, Nick had probably realized the danger he faced. That was why he had reminded Lenny not to tell Khloe immediately.Lowering his head, Lenny apologized softly. "Miss Roswell, please don't be angry with him. He just didn't want you to worry…""Khloe… I know Nick," Arista choked back her tears. "He hates showing weakness to anyone. He feared that if something happened to him, you'd be hurt…"Arista's voice trembled as she spoke. Seeing Nick like this tore her heart apart.Although he was born into the Hunt family, Nick had never truly enjoyed a privileged life. He had always endured hardship, grown strong through it. But he had never allowed anyone to see him falter—even in illness, he bore it

Loretta wanted to stay overnight in the hospital with Khloe. After much pleading, Khloe could only insist that she return home to rest.Once Loretta was sent off, Khloe returned to the ward and noticed Arista speaking quietly on the phone in a corner. She was likely updating George on the situation. Arista's voice was choked with emotion. Whatever the person on the other end said seemed to displease her, and after a pause, she muttered, "He's your son," before hanging up.Khloe waited a moment, then entered the room.Arista glanced up, smoothing her expression, and gave Khloe a gentle smile. "Tonight, Nick will be in your care. If anything happens, call us immediately. If you can't manage, just step out and rest. There are plenty of people here to help.""Okay," Khloe replied, nodding. She stepped forward and hugged Arista briefly. "Thank you… Mom."Arista was momentarily surprised, then understood. Khloe's gratitude was for Nick.Though Nick had lost his mother at a young age,

Michael lowered his gaze, letting his eyes travel from the smooth curve of her forehead down to the depths of her eyes.She hadn't changed—at all.Though they hadn't been this close in what felt like an eternity, the past seemed to collapse into the present, as if everything they had shared were only yesterday.A thousand emotions surged through him, and before he even thought, his body reacted.Long fingers lifted her face, his head tilting just slightly, and his lips brushed against the center of her brow.The light, sudden kiss caught Winnie completely off guard. She froze.Her lashes fluttered as she blinked at him in confusion, but her eyes quickly cleared. Still, she leaned into him, pressing herself quietly against his side.Michael was exactly as he had always been—even pretending to be playful, he was reserved to a fault. But this time… this time his actions were bolder than ever, and even her heart couldn't help but stir.Soon, they returned to the hotel.Winnie chec

If Michael had contacted Oscar earlier, he probably would have just said not to bother."Was it the Starr family?" Michael asked softly."Yes, Lindsay. You offended her," Winnie replied. "But Clarice took revenge for you. The Starr family is currently too busy dealing with their own mess. Once you get back, don't let her off the hook—make sure she knows that the Morrison family, and you, are not to be trifled with."Winnie spoke with a certain satisfaction. Seeing Clarice's ruthless methods used in this context was strangely gratifying."I did make her look bad," Michael admitted. "Her retaliation is reasonable.""Stop talking about 'reasonable.' No matter the excuse, if someone hurts you, you should be angry, hate them, and take revenge. That's the right way to feel!" Winnie rolled her eyes in exasperation. Every time she discussed these topics with Michael, she ended up in full-on teacher mode."If that's the case, shouldn't my first target of revenge be you?" Michael suddenly

Winnie parted her lips, drawing a shaky breath. "It's good that you know that."The atmosphere cooled once more. She didn't want to linger in the awkwardness and quickly stepped into the bathroom.The next afternoon, on the way back, Michael and Winnie were seen off by diplomats from Naraida who had arrived at the hotel.The men were dressed in deep blue uniforms, looking more like military staff than diplomats. Michael watched as Winnie handed over a set of documents, signed and sealed. After inspecting the materials, the men saluted her before allowing their convoy to depart.Michael immediately sensed something was off. He grabbed Winnie's arm. "What… what did you just give them?"A memory struck him. Winnie's mother had several state-level patents, including one that was far ahead of anything else in the world, carefully guarded by the Olson family.Could Winnie have used something like that to exchange for his safe return?"I said it's none of your business," Winnie repli
