The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 25

Bonnie Ning lowered her head to avoid the gaze of the man with her, gathered her clothes, and ran to the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, her face wore a bitter smile as she examined her haggard body.

Her low spirit couldn't be hidden. She was spent, exhausted.

A stray tear fell from her eye, and soon more began to flow out. But there was no time for weakness. With new resolve, she wiped her tears away, dressed and walked out.

"Let's go."

She had no idea where they were going to go or who they were going to meet, but she had to follow Ken.

He held his hand up to stop her. "Just a second."

Ken saw the dark purple marks on Bonnie's neck. He picked up the silk scarf from the bed, walked up to her and wrapped it around her neck. After making sure the material covered the exposed part, he handed her some medicine.

"Take the pills. It's good for you. Don't mention what happened last night when you see her. I didn't mean to sleep with you. It's just an accident."

He didn't forget what Kerr had warned him before. Not to mention that from the expression on Nicole's face, he could tell that she cared a lot about her sister.

He knew he had to hide what happened between him and Bonnie.

Hearing Ken's words, Bonnie held the pill box tightly, opened it and swallowed it in front of him.

It was bitter, but the taste was nothing compared to the resentment in her heart.

They were silent the entire car ride. When they arrived at the hospital, she found it odd, but she followed Ken inside all the same.

Knowing his way around, they found the door they were looking for. He knocked and faintly heard a response from inside, "Come in."

When he pushed the door open, he saw Nicole sitting on the bed, playing with Jay. Near the two was Kerr, who was still in the room. Ken couldn't help but give a tiny smile.

Looking directly at Nicole, he gestured, "Hey Nicole, I've brought the person you want."

His face was beaming with delight. There was a large contrast to how cold he looked when he was alone with Bonnie.

Looking at Ken's side profile, Bonnie was stunned. She didn't expect that he would smile to anyone else, but he was so cold to her.

"Bonnie."

Hearing the familiar voice, Bonnie was snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Nicole, her half-sister.

They used to be on good terms when they were in the Ning family, but since the Ning family went bankruptcy and Nicole went abroad, they stopped contacting each other.

"You are back."

Bonnie sounded calm. She didn't look thrilled to see Nicole and looked at her in a strange way.

Nicole looked stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Jay, follow Uncle Kang to see the school you are going to attend tomorrow."

Noticing the strange behavior of Nicole and Bonnie, Kerr decided to ask Jay to leave with Jared first. After all, he didn't want children to get involved in the adult's world.

Hearing Kerr's voice, Jay looked up at his mother with a little hesitation. After seeing his mother nod, he jumped out of the bed, waved bye and left with Jared.

Nicole gave Kerr a grateful look and lifted the quilt to get out of bed. She walked to Bonnie and held her hand.

"It's been seven years. You have grown up. Don't you remember me?"

Nicole thought her sister looked more beautiful than before. When she left, she was just a little eleven-year-old girl, but now she had grown up.
