The Reunion After Seven Years

Just as Avery was wondering, she was startled when she suddenly heard Bonnie scream,

"Aaaah!" Bonnie went ghastly pale when she clearly saw what was in the box. Too frightened, her mind went blank in panic. And as her body trembled uncontrollably, she ran into Ken's arms.

Someone turned over the box, and everyone's eyes immediately darted towards it, including Zachary and Ken, who instinctively looked at each other. They instantly knew that someone had a hidden agenda behind this scene.

"It's okay. Don't be afraid. We are going to the hospital to check on Nicole,"

Ken whispered as he patted on Bonnie‘s back gently. His voice sounded soothing, lovingly comforting her.

Avery didn't see it with her own eyes, but she knew it would not be something nice. After Zachary took her into the car, only then he released his hand from her eyes.

"How... How do you know?" Avery stammered. She didn't know what to say exactly, but she felt lucky that Zachary had protected her.

And at the same time, her impression of Zachary seemed to have changed.

"If it's a good thing, Nicole won't be in danger," Zachary replied to her while driving. He didn't look good, and there was a complicated expression on his face.

For one thing, he was very clear about what Nicole had gone through, and she did nothing wrong to deserve this. But why did she have to bear all of these just because she had chosen Kerr?

What was worst now was that even though she didn't commit anything wrong, she still became the target of public criticism.

With a myriad of thoughts running in Zachary's mind, an overwhelming uneasiness crept within him, and he felt apprehensive all of a sudden. He didn't want Avery to end up like that.

"Avery, I won't let you suffer this," Zachary suddenly promised her after a brief silence.

A faint smile slowly tugged on her lips when Avery heard Zachary's words. Although she felt that he was a little disgusting, in her heart, she felt a tinge of sweetness that kind of surprised her.

And for the very first time, she couldn't refute him. Flushed with sudden shyness, Avery abruptly looked out of the window, averting her gaze.
