The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 245

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.

In the hospital, however, everyone seemed to be hustling around.

Soon after Kerr worriedly sent Nicole to the emergency room, he had warned Harley seriously that he wanted his wife and the baby to be safe at all costs.

Taking a deep breath, Kerr lowered his gaze, and unconsciously it landed on his hand. Only then he noticed the thick blood. Anxiety eclipsed his thought as fear choked him, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Mr. Gu! Mrs. Gu will be fine," Jared promptly comforted Kerr as he stared at the horrible expression on Kerr's face. It looked as if he was going to blow up the entire world if something ever happened to Nicole.

"Investigate who sent that thing to us," Kerr ordered, gnashing his teeth.

Jared silently nodded as he continued to observe Kerr.

Nicole was still in the emergency room when Zachary and the rest of them arrived at the hospital.

The bloodstains on Kerr's hand didn't escape everyone's notice, but no one dared to go forward and ask about Nicole's condition.

So everyone resorted to praying in silence.

A long time had passed before the door of the emergency room burst open. There emerged Harley, who was taking off the mask on his face, and he looked quite relaxed.

"Don't worry. Both Nicole and her baby are fine. But now she needs good care. They should better stay in the hospital during this time,"

Harley reminded Kerr, reassuring him.

Nicole and her child would have been in grave danger if they were not sent to the hospital in time.

When he heard that the mother and child were finally safe, the look on Kerr's face softened.

Jared lifted his head and slightly nodded.

With Jared's confirmation, silence engulfed them as everyone fell disturbed about how Kerr would react once he learned about the news. Right now, the only thing that worried him was that Nicole was still in a coma.

Kerr lovingly held Nicole's hand and kissed her fingers as he stared at the ring on her ring finger of her left hand, which he had put in on for her.

"You're my wife, Nicole. Wake up, please? I don't want anything from the Gu family anymore. When you wake up, I'll take you out of here,"

Kerr pleaded as he didn't want to wait any longer. He had made Nicole bear with his mistakes, but he hadn't expected that it would become such a disaster to this extent.

He would never let Nicole get hurt anymore. The Gu family had nothing to do with him. He couldn’t live up to everyone’s expectations, but he would not let Nicole down.

Moments later, Nicole stirred from her deep slumber. Slightly frowning, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Nicole! How are you feeling?" Kerr anxiously asked as he noticed her movement and watched her wake up.

When she heard his voice, Nicole turned to look at him and weakly said, "Kerr..."

All the memories flashed back to her mind bit by bit. It then occurred to her that she fainted because of fright. As the realization hit her, her eyes immediately widened, and she instinctively touched her belly with both hands.

"Kerr, how is our baby?"

She knew that in her stage of pregnancy, such a tremendous fright could be fatal to a baby.

Too distressed that it would hurt the baby in her belly, she suddenly regretted and scolded herself for her recklessness.

This baby was the blessing of their love, and God knew how she cherished it very much. As she thought of this, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
