The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 119

Nicole continued, "You see, I'm strong enough to take care of Jay and myself."

Leaning against Kerr, Nicole felt unprecedentedly secure.

Kerr had indeed come into her life earlier than Baron. But she didn't speak out the truth yet. She simply decided to hold off until Kerr proposed.

She would reveal Jay's identity to him as a gift. She believed there would be nothing better than that.

"I trust you. It's him I don't trust," Kerr announced.

Right on cue, there was a knock on the door. Kerr gripped Nicole's hand more tightly.

"Come in."

Nicole tried to break free of Kerr's tight embrace, but the man didn't budge a little as if he were a statue.

The door swung open and revealed a man standing in the doorway. With a bouquet of flowers on hand, Baron walked in. Nicole in Kerr's arms was the first thing he noticed. Nicole seemed fine. She actually looked happy.

He had finally and truly lost Nicole.

"Are you feeling better?"

Baron's face betrayed no emotion. He knew how much Kerr liked Nicole and had found out about Nicole's feelings for Kerr, although he did not want to acknowledge it.

"Better. Are those for me? They're beautiful."

Nicole looked down on the purple flowers in Baron's hand as Baron handed them to her. Her face shone with delight.

It was a bouquet of purple forget-me-not. It seemed that Baron had already understood Nicole's choice.

"Good. From now on, please remember to eat on time. You know your tummy hurts when you forget to eat. But I think you don't have to work too hard anymore."

Baron looked at Kerr who was sitting beside Nicole with dispirited eyes.

Between him and Kerr, he was the loser. People said Kerr was a ruthless businessman who only cared about making money, but it was Baron who gave Nicole up and chose his business this time.

"I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she eats on time. You don't have to worry," Kerr interjected.

Kerr turned and gently kissed Nicole on the forehead. He looked so proud to have her. He moved around her as if he was marking his territory in front of Baron.

He did not want Baron to fantasize over Nicole. She only belonged to him.

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became awkward. It was so quiet that Nicole did not know what to do.

Fortunately, a nurse walked in.

"Mr. Gu, you need to come see Jay. He fell from the bed."

Worry instantly clouded Nicole's face. She immediately started out of bed to rush to Jay, but Kerr stopped her.

"It's all right. I'll go check on him."

The bed in Jay's ward was customized to allow him to get up and down easily. There was also soft carpet under his bed so that it would not hurt if he fell down.
