The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 289 A Car Accident

Kerr hit Kim in the face. In a huff, Kerr strode over to the burning car. Harley ran up to him and slapped him in the face, shouting, "Kerr! Calm down!"

Kerr and Nicole had already once experienced an explosion together, but it was different this time. Kerr never even had a chance to save her.

Harley knocked Kerr to the ground and the latter didn't stand up.

Harley sighed and squatted. "The professionals will clean up the scene. We will find her." He knew very well that even if they found Nicole, she was already dead.

It had never occurred to him that in just a day, Nicole would fall into mortal danger. They had tried their best to protect her, but in the end, they failed.

Kerr was silent, lying on the ground. The fire near him was still burning. Though he was in the midst of a heat wave, he didn't move. He was in a daze, unaware of the world.

He couldn't hear the outside world, nor could he see the people around him.

Ken and Bonnie arrived on the scene. When Bonnie saw what had happened, she was so scared that she fainted. Ken patted Kerr's shoulder to comfort him, and then sent Bonnie to the hospital.

Harley then told his bodyguards to send Jay to Avery, but he didn't tell them what had happened.

Everything had occurred so quickly that Harley was at a loss.

"Mr. Su, the fire has been put out and cleaned up. The person in the Ferrari is confirmed to be Maggie Chen." Seeing that Kerr was out of his senses and couldn’t even talk with others, Kim had to report the situation to Harley.

But because Jared‘s car was severely wrecked, Kim hadn't found Nicole's corpse. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Harley nodded. Before he said anything, he saw Kerr stand up from the ground.

Kim was about to help Kerr, but Harley stopped him. "Follow him. Give him some time. He should want to stay alone now."

Harley looked at Kerr with deep concern in his eyes.

After Kerr got into his car, he drove straight away from the scene. He didn't even ask about the details of the accident.

As he drove along the road, he lowered the window. The night wind blew in and the sky gradually darkened. His heart was empty. He drove slowly and looked at the passenger seat.

He seemed to see Nicole smiling at him.

He put his hand out to stroke her face, but there was nothing but cold air.

It usually took him 20 minutes to go back to his villa, but today, it took almost an hour for him to arrive. Standing at the door, Vedder saw blood at the corners of Kerr's mouth.

"I'm sorry, sir. I should have stopped Mrs. Gu." At the thought of this, Vedder felt guilty.

But Kerr just ignored him and kept walking upstairs with dull eyes and a hollow heart.

Kerr walked into the bedroom, lay on the bed, and seemed to be able to breathe in Nicole's smell. He held Nicole's pillow while closing his eyes, dreaming of Nicole in his arms.

Standing at the door of the room, Vedder didn't dare to go in and disturb Kerr.

The whole thing happened so suddenly.

In Jack’s villa

The corners of Moore's mouth rose slightly. "Dad, you can put yourself at ease now. I received the news that Nicole has died in a car accident. Kerr will have to give up on her now."

Hearing what Moore said, the frown on Jack's face smoothed. He asked him, "Moore, do you hate me for handing over the Gu Group to Kerr?"

He had always thought highly of Moore in the past, but Moore failed to handle the crisis of the company recently. Only then did he realize what a vast difference there was between Moore and Kerr.

Moore shook his head and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? I’m not as good as Kerr. I really hope that I can learn a lot from him. What's more, I was only taking over his position temporarily.

Don't worry. As long as it's good for the Gu Group, I have no objections." He tried to appease Jack with smooth and apologetic words.

Standing by Jack's side, Kelvin heard Moore and was stunned. For a moment, he didn't believe it.

"It's great to hear you say that. I know what you have done for the Gu family. Don't worry. I will treat you well." Contrasted to Kerr's willfulness, Jack had greater appreciation for Moore's obedience.

However, Jack had greater need for Kerr's experience and capability in business.

After walking out of the study and pouring tea for Jack, Kelvin dialed Vedder's number. After confirming the news, he felt profound pity in his heart.

On the road

A pregnant woman was walking frantically. Sweat poured across her forehead and her heavy body weighed her down, so she had to take frequent rests.

Nicole‘s skirt was already wet with sweat, and her long hair stuck to her face, which made her look rather desperate.

But she didn't dare to enter any stranger's car. Whenever a car passed, she would immediately hide away from sight.

The road seemed to be endless, but her tired feet moved forward.

She wanted to call Kerr, but it was impossible as she didn't have a phone.

"You're such a fool. Kerr, why haven’t you come to me? It's been so long!" she screamed. She sat on the road and pulled the grass on the ground in anger.

It took her a lot of effort to persuade Lily, but Kerr hadn’t shown up yet. The situation made her feel very resentful.

At the same time, she was also worried about Lily. She wondered if Moore would make a lot of trouble for Lily. As she thought of this, the beam of a car's light appeared from not far away, and Nicole turned around to hide. It was all she could do.

As the car approached, she felt it was somehow familiar. It seemed to be Harley's car.

"Harley!" Nicole called out Harley's name, but the car didn't stop for her. It gradually disappeared from her sight.

After parking the car at the gate of Kerr’s villa, Harley got out and asked, "Uncle Vedder, how is Kerr doing?"

He was in deep anxiety about Kerr.

Vedder shook his head and said, "Master has locked himself in the room. He still refuses to come out." He was also worried about Kerr.

With knitted brows, Harley walked to the door of the bedroom and suddenly found that the door was locked from the inside. He gently knocked on the door and said, "Kerr, come out. I have something to tell you."

Kerr made no reply.

"Kerr, the scene has been combed through. There is a woman in Jared's car, but she doesn’t look like Nicole." He could only guess.

The result of the DNA test hadn’t come out yet, so there couldn't be any certainty. He didn't want to give Kerr any false hopes.
