The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 173

The thought that Kerr would wake up in time to see their unborn child coming gave Nicole great hope. The mere possibility of this made their reality seem less challenging than it actually was.

But despite the easiness she felt talking to Kerr, Nicole eventually had to end their long chat and leave the ward.

On the outside, Kim and Harley were waiting when they saw her coming out. Quickly, they straightened themselves and looked anxiously at her.

"I know something happened to the Gu Group. Tell me. I'm ready to hear it no matter what it is. I'll protect everything that belongs to Kerr for him."

There was no fear or sadness in Nicole's eyes, but an unshakable firmness in her voice as she spoke.

Kim tore his gaze away from Nicole and looked at Harley standing beside her.

"Miss Ning, you have to save your strength. After all..."

If Harley was right and Kerr couldn't wake up again, then the child Nicole was expecting was Kerr's only heir and a rightful Gu.

Harley looked at Nicole's peaceful face, nodding in agreement with Kim's words.

"I know. I won't let anything happen to my baby."

Nicole stared at Kim earnestly.

"Alright, then. Well, on the same day you and Master Kerr suffered that accident, Moore had officially joined the Gu Group under His Lordship's approval. However, Master Kerr had sent me to observe him in secret before.

What I found out was that Moore has been quietly collecting the Gu Group shares. Of course, we know he can't be up to any good with these."

Yet this wasn't the only thing that worried Kim. Although the purpose of what Moore had done was obvious, he actually presumed there was more to it. But taking Nicole's condition in mind, he chose not to reveal his suspicions in order not to frighten her.

"I'm sure this isn't everything. It was too much of a coincidence that Kerr and I got into an accident precisely at that time. You were also there that day. It was obvious that someone wanted us dead."

Nicole's eyes were sharp as she calmly analyzed the situation. Despite not having any evidence, she knew there weren't so many coincidences in the world but someone with a clear intention out there.

She just couldn't tell if that person was really Moore. Unless he had them tracked since they arrived.

At that moment, Harley stared at Nicole with appreciation in his eyes. This wasn't the first time he witnessed her sensibility. He had also seen how gracefully she had dealt with the Gu family when they confronted her.

No wonder that the arrogant Kerr had fallen in love with such a gentle, wise, and composed woman like Nicole.

Kim also looked at her, but somewhat perplexed. He didn't expect that Nicole would voice his exact suspicions.

"Miss Ning... As a matter of fact, Master Kerr and Moore had never got along, so I suppose Moore could have acted behind our backs.

I'll look into what happened on that day."

Kim knew that if Kerr wished to kick Moore out of the Gu family, he would need irrefutable evidence.

"Maybe it's not that simple. Moore's people could have been keeping an eye on us since we got here. I've felt nauseated and vomited before, and now Harley confirmed I was pregnant.

But the doctor who attended me told me that my discomfort was a reaction for not being used to the weather of this place and prescribed me some medicine. I'm sure he wanted me to abort this child."
