The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 171

There were still four minutes left on the countdown. Without any hesitation, Kerr kissed Nicole. Even if death was in front of them, he just hoped that what he brought to her was only joy and happiness.

Nicole's tears streamed down her cheeks to her mouth, which was a little bitter but surrounded by sweetness as she felt the kiss from Kerr.

"Nicole, listen to me. If there are only three minutes left in our lives, I can kiss you in these two minutes and fifty seconds and hold you tight during the last ten seconds."

Kerr looked much more composed rather than fearing for his life.

If this was the ending between Nicole and him, then Kerr was willing to accept it. After all, he would be buried with Nicole one day. Therefore, it was just a matter of time for him.

"What are you even doing? Kerr, just go! Don't be silly! I don't want you to die with me. Who will take care of Jay if we both die in here? Go. I don't want Jay to grow up alone for the rest of his life. I need you to look after him!"

Nicole did not give up persuading Kerr. It was already enough for her to have met him in this life.

"Master! Master!"

Kim finally returned. He went straight to the bomb with a scissor in his hand as he looked at Nicole and Kerr who were hugging each other tightly.

At the sight of Kim, Kerr snatched the scissors from his hand, seized Kim's collar and threw him to the staircase.

"Go Kim! Go!"

With a smile on his face, Kerr returned to Nicole. There was less than one minute left. He asked with a smile, "Nicole, would you like to bet with me? If we win the game, we will have a family reunion. I promise you that we will never be separated ever again. If we lose the game, then that's it. I will accompany you until the end."

Nicole shook her head desperately as she heard what Kerr just said. There was no time left to stop him. He was more persistent than her in that moment.

Lowering his head, Kerr held Nicole's hand and chose a yellow wire. Just when there were only ten seconds left, he cut it off.

Sweat dripped down from his forehead as he closed his eyes. This wasn't the first time for Kerr to remove a bomb, but it was the first time that he had been so nervous to do it. He had Nicole's life in his hands after all.

Suddenly, the countdown stopped at the last ten seconds.

Nicole felt that her heart was about to stop beating. With her eyes closed, she dared not to look at Kerr.

The sound of the beeping ceased and the countdown finally came to an end. When Nicole opened her eyes, she looked directly into the eyes of Kerr.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Gu. You win."

As Kerr spoke, he untied the rope off her body and held her tightly in his arms.

"I really thought we were going to die. I was so scared..."

Hugged by Kerr, Nicole wept in a low voice. She had never been through such a heart stirring process before. It had been her first near death experience.

Kerr gently patted Nicole's back and tried to comfort her. He held her up and began to walk out of the building. Unexpectedly, Kerr heard a beep just as he had taken a few steps.

Almost in an instant, Kerr grabbed Nicole's arm and jumped away from the upcoming explosion as he realized what was about to happen.

"Bang!"

When Kerr fell down with Nicole in his arms, the time bomb exploded.

The explosive sound impacted so loud in Nicole's ears that she started to lose consciousness as Kerr firmly held her in his arms. Seconds later, the blood began to drip down from his neck.
