The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 246

Kerr reached over and wiped the tears from Nicole's beautiful eyes. "Don't worry. Our baby's fine. Everything's okay. You'll feel better soon, I promise." His tone was gentle and soothing.

When it came to Nicole, Kerr's patience and thoughtfulness knew no bounds.

If she was scared, it was because he'd failed to protect her. His heart filled with shame and self-recrimination.

"I'm so sorry, Nicole. It's all down to me. I should have looked after you better."

Nicole shook her head. "No, no. It's not your fault at all. Someone wanted to hurt me and my baby, and we never could have predicted it." The main thing was knowing that her baby was fine. It was a huge relief.

Still, she couldn't completely get her head around it. Who could possibly be so cruel and vicious that they actually wanted to kill her and the baby like this?

"We have to find whoever did this and stop it from ever happening again."

Remembering it now brought her skin out in a prickly, cold sweat. Fear struck deep in her heart. She should have been more careful at the time. She'd been so lucky that their baby wasn't hurt because of this.

Kerr took Nicole's hands in his. "It must have been Sunny. But don't worry. I've sent my team out to look for her. I won't let her get away with it this time."

The reason he hadn't done anything to Sunny before was that she too was pregnant. No matter what, the baby was innocent. But now it seemed that Sunny had been asking for trouble.

And she deserved to be punished.

Nicole frowned at the sound of Sunny's name. It seemed to her that as long as this woman was in her life, she could never be at peace. She'd forgiven Sunny over and over again, but Sunny never left her alone.

"She blames me for taking you away from her. But the baby is innocent. How could she hurt the baby?"

Sure, Sunny could be jealous, and Nicole knew it. But she didn't think the woman could also be quite so vicious.

"Nicole, you need to look after yourself. Let me handle this." Kerr really didn't want to burden Nicole. He hadn't expected her to suffer so much because of him.

After planting a soft kiss on her forehead, he turned and walked out of the hospital ward.

At the door, Avery and Bonnie watched Kerr leave, casting quick glances at each other. Together, they walked into the ward to stay with Nicole.

"Mr. Gu..." Jared saw Kerr walk out and hesitated, unsure of what to say. By now, the whole business circle probably knew that Kerr had been dismissed.

What Jack had done had undoubtedly made Kerr a laughing stock. Jared was worried that Kerr would be angry if he found out about it.

"Did you find Sunny?"

Kerr didn't want to think about anything else right now. Someone had attempted to harm Nicole, and he wasn't about to let it go any time soon.

"I asked someone to go looking for her but I haven't heard any news yet. Mr. Gu, about the Gu Group... Something has changed." Jared hadn't dared to leave, so he'd asked Kim to look for Sunny.

Before Jared could say anything more, he noticed Kim approaching from the other end of the hallway.

"Mr. Gu, I've just come from the He family's villa. Daniel isn't home and they have no idea where Sunny is now. Apparently, she left the villa in the morning before the wedding. Nobody knows where she's gone."

Kerr's eyes glinted meaningfully as he stubbed out his cigarette, his gaze focused on Zachary, who was sitting in silence. "How about you? What do you think of all this?" he asked.

He waited patiently for Zachary's answer. The man always acted like he refused to have anything to do with the Gu family.

Harley and Ken both also looked at Zachary, confusion written all over their faces. Until today, they'd thought Zachary was Nicole's friend. They didn't know much about him, apart from the fact that he'd been adopted by the Lin family.

Zachary always kept a low profile. Besides, he lived abroad all year round. It wasn't like they even had much contact with him.

Zachary made no move to avoid Kerr's eyes. He opened his mouth slowly and asked, "Do you think I will want Avery to end up like Nicole?" Zachary glanced in the direction of Nicole's ward where Avery was.

Nicole was calm and smart while Avery was...simple. He wasn't sure if she could accept a life like that.

"If you want me to sort this out for you, you'll never be entirely free of it. You can never truly run away from it." Zachary wouldn't shoulder the responsibilities for Kerr so easily. After all, Kerr was the one who had caused so much trouble.

If Kerr wanted to leave, then he had to clean up his own mess first.

"Don't worry. I'll get rid of Moore for you before I leave here," Kerr promised. Kerr had been holding back in the past, biding his time and using it to find evidence of Moore's little tricks.

Now that he had all the information he needed, it was time to fight back.

"What are you talking about? I don't get it. I've only been away for a few months, but it feels like a century! I don't understand a word you're saying," Ken said.
