The Reunion After Seven Years

"Help me pick out a remote place among Kerr's properties.

And find someone to clean it up. The house needs to look as if Kerr and I were living there," Nicole told Jared. Nicole believed this was the best option to keep Kerr safe. "We must do a good job to protect him."

She hoped her plan would work.

On the next day, Nicole got up early in the morning and fixed a clean cloth, which she used to wash Kerr's face. Studying the wound in his arm, she noticed that every new day it looked a bit better than the previous one. She couldn't help but wish that Kerr would wake up as soon as possible.

"I'm going to the Gu Group today, so take care of yourself here. I'll be excited if you can surprise me when I come back." Every day, Nicole managed to talk to him for a while.

Although she was most likely talking to herself, she needed to try on Harley's idea. He explained to her that hearing familiar voices could immediately stimulate Kerr's cerebral cortex and help him wake up. Thus, she couldn't give up on their casual chats.

Moreover, Harley believed it was only a matter of time until Kerr woke up since he had such a strong will to survive.

Once she was running out of time, Nicole placed a kiss on Kerr's lips and finally left the room.

The moment she stepped out of the door, Nicole saw Harley coming with a medicine box in his hands. With a smile she nodded at him and said, "Please, take care of him today. I'll be back as soon as possible."

Nicole didn't really want to leave Kerr at all, but if she didn't, it would be difficult to explain his absence to the board of directors later. Also, there would be no one else capable enough to represent Kerr in the company.

"Take care of yourself and don't get emotional. If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask Jared to send you back. Do you hear me?"

Harley was also worried about her. But now wasn't the time to leave Kerr short-handed, so all he could do was staying with him in the villa while Nicole handled everything at the Gu Group.

"I know. Don't worry about me." After reassuring Harley, Nicole left the villa with Jared.

In the car, Nicole looked out of the window as she absently watched the view. She was feeling a bit melancholic but was unafraid of what was ahead of her. Everything she was doing was for Kerr. In fact, only thinking about him brought a tiny smile to her lips.

Jared glanced at Nicole at this moment and felt relieved to see her smiling.

Soon the car parked in front of the Gu Group. Jared got out first and traveled to the other side to open the door for Nicole. Then he was careful to follow her up close to protect her.

Nicole looked to the building with confidence before she walked inside. The receptionist quickly stared at her in astonishment but didn't dare to stop her. Maybe it was because she had Jared on her back. Yet, Nicole didn't give it much thought as she moved ahead.
