Chapter 120 "Did something happen?" Khloe asked. Loretta's words immediately made Khloe anxious. "I heard there's an emergency at the newly acquired lithium mine, and there have even been casualties," Loretta replied, uncertain whether to continue. Leon sighed and took over the explanation. "Nick has always been extremely responsible. All the weight of the Hunt Group rests on his shoulders now, and he never allows himself a moment of slack. Whenever there's a crisis, he insists on handling it alone. Until the problem is resolved, he probably won't get any proper sleep or rest..." "No rest?

How can his body endure that?" Khloe's voice trembled with worry. She thought back to his recent car accident-though the injuries were minor, he still needed proper care and rest! "That's exactly what we worry about most," Loretta said, shaking her head anxiously. "He hates seeing us worry. Even when something happens, he won't tell us the details. These past few days, he hasn't come home at all. We only learned about the situation after making inquiries." Loretta's worry was palpable.

Or perhaps he had run into a difficulty he didn't want her to know about? Her thoughts plummeted. But to avoid adding to Leon and Loretta's stress, she forced herself to ease the mood, complimenting the food and attempting small talk. Yet even as dinner ended, her mind remained consumed with concern for Nick. Suddenly, a plate slipped from her hands and shattered on the floor. Her thoughts snapped back with a jolt.
