The Reunion After Seven Years

Kim fell silent. He was not able to confirm if the tire tracks belonged to Kerr's car. He had only hoped that Kerr was all right.

"Jared, how far is the site from here?"

Nicole turned to Jared.

She could not wait any longer. She would not feel relieved until she was sure that Kerr was safe and sound.

"About three kilometers."

Jared had once come to the site with Kerr, so he was a little more familiar with the place.

"I have an idea. Kim, you stay here and clear the road. Have someone check if the fallen vehicle was Kerr's car or not. Jared and I will walk to the construction site."

Nicole was unusually calm as she doled out the tasks.

A car might not be able to pass through the road, but she could. She wanted to make sure Kerr was all right, and there was no stopping her.

"Director Ning, the rain is too heavy. You'll be worn out. Please just stay in the car until the road is cleared. I'll go to the site with Kim's people."

Jared was not about to indulge Nicole. If something happened to her, he could not afford the consequences.

"Mr. Kang, I didn't come here to wait. I should've just stayed at the hospital if that were the case. I know my own health. I'm going."

Nicole tightened her coat, put on her hood, and prepared to get out of the car. Kim stopped her.

"Miss Ning, at least put on this raincoat."

Kim took off his raincoat and handed it to Nicole. It was dripping wet, but it was better than nothing. There were strong winds outside, so it was impossible to hold an umbrella.

"What about you?"
