The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 289

Kerr hit Kim in the face. In a huff, Kerr strode over to the burning car. Harley ran up to him and slapped him in the face, shouting, "Kerr! Calm down!"

Kerr and Nicole had already once experienced an explosion together, but it was different this time. Kerr never even had a chance to save her.

Harley knocked Kerr to the ground and the latter didn't stand up.

Harley sighed and squatted. "The professionals will clean up the scene. We will find her." He knew very well that even if they found Nicole, she was already dead.

It had never occurred to him that in just a day, Nicole would fall into mortal danger. They had tried their best to protect her, but in the end, they failed.

Kerr was silent, lying on the ground. The fire near him was still burning. Though he was in the midst of a heat wave, he didn't move. He was in a daze, unaware of the world.

He couldn't hear the outside world, nor could he see the people around him.

Ken and Bonnie arrived on the scene. When Bonnie saw what had happened, she was so scared that she fainted. Ken patted Kerr's shoulder to comfort him, and then sent Bonnie to the hospital.

Harley then told his bodyguards to send Jay to Avery, but he didn't tell them what had happened.

Everything had occurred so quickly that Harley was at a loss.

"Mr. Su, the fire has been put out and cleaned up. The person in the Ferrari is confirmed to be Maggie Chen." Seeing that Kerr was out of his senses and couldn’t even talk with others, Kim had to report the situation to Harley.

But because Jared‘s car was severely wrecked, Kim hadn't found Nicole's corpse.

Harley nodded. Before he said anything, he saw Kerr stand up from the ground.

Kim was about to help Kerr, but Harley stopped him. "Follow him. Give him some time. He should want to stay alone now."

Harley looked at Kerr with deep concern in his eyes.

After Kerr got into his car, he drove straight away from the scene. He didn't even ask about the details of the accident.

As he drove along the road, he lowered the window. The night wind blew in and the sky gradually darkened. His heart was empty. He drove slowly and looked at the passenger seat.

He seemed to see Nicole smiling at him.

He put his hand out to stroke her face, but there was nothing but cold air.

It usually took him 20 minutes to go back to his villa, but today, it took almost an hour for him to arrive. Standing at the door, Vedder saw blood at the corners of Kerr's mouth.

"I'm sorry, sir. I should have stopped Mrs. Gu." At the thought of this, Vedder felt guilty.

But Kerr just ignored him and kept walking upstairs with dull eyes and a hollow heart.

Kerr walked into the bedroom, lay on the bed, and seemed to be able to breathe in Nicole's smell. He held Nicole's pillow while closing his eyes, dreaming of Nicole in his arms.

Standing at the door of the room, Vedder didn't dare to go in and disturb Kerr.

The whole thing happened so suddenly.
