The Reunion After Seven Years

Nicole had trouble sleeping that night. In her dream, the scene of the explosion replayed vividly in her mind. She felt so terrified, but she managed to keep all her fears hidden deep in her heart. She could only force herself to remain strong seeing Kerr, still lying unconscious.

Tenderly, she regarded his face, and she could discern a hint of a smile etched on the corner of his mouth. But despite that, Kerr showed no signs of any response, no matter how hard she called his name. And this made her eyes welled with tears as she sobbed, "Kerr..."

Nicole stirred from her sleep as she suddenly felt frightened. She was having a nightmare again. Eventually, when her eyes fluttered open, her tears immediately streamed down freely. She instinctively looked at Kerr as she gasped for air. The moment her gaze landed on him, she marveled at how his mere presence comforted her and quickly put her heart at ease.

She carefully reached out and lovingly held him. Then in a voice laced with worry, she said, "Kerr, are you seriously going to sleep like this? You promised Jay and me that you would protect us. But when will you keep your promise?"

How fervently Nicole wished that Kerr could give her a response at this very moment. But she received nothing, only his silence that turned her negative emotional state up a notch. With this, she suddenly became afraid of the stillness of the night that seemed to want to devour everything.

However, she fell asleep while coaxing herself that the night would soon pass. Not long after, rays of morning sunlight shone into their bedroom, and her eyes were once again filled with hope as she appreciatively watched the beautiful sunrise.

"Kerr, I'm going to help you deal with something. Now, will you trust me?" Nicole softly said as she kissed Kerr's mouth gently. She then carefully stood up and quickly packed her things before leaving him in the bedroom.

As soon as she reached downstairs, she immediately noticed that Harley and Jared were already sitting on the sofa, and both wore a worried expression on their faces.

Jared hurriedly stood up the moment he heard the approaching footsteps of Nicole, and greeted her, "Miss Ning."

Nicole nodded and went directly to sit on the sofa, feeling a bit more apprehensive. "What happened?" She had a full understanding that the days to come wouldn't be easy for her. And if she was not careful, she knew she would be in deep trouble. But on the brighter side, she was learning to adapt well to the situation and getting used to it.
