The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 290

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Harley's words, Kerr opened the bedroom door. Staring at the man, Kerr demanded, "Where is she?"

Even with just the tiniest shred of hope left, Kerr was not about to give up. From the very moment the explosion happened, Kerr had never been convinced that Nicole had really left him. He felt like she was waiting for him just around the corner.

Harley looked at Kerr and sighed deeply. "You should stay at home and wait for news. Even if you saw the body... I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to recognize her."

The body had been so badly burned that, at first sight, Harley couldn't even tell whether it was male or female. It was only after identification that Harley knew for sure it was a woman.

Ignoring Harley's words, Kerr rushed past him. He drove straight towards the Gu Group's hospital.

The car roared down the street as Kerr slammed hard on the accelerator, not wanting to waste a single minute. It couldn't be Nicole. Even though Kerr felt like his heart was empty, he felt no pain.

He truly believed that Nicole would never be so heartless as to leave him like this.

Meanwhile, when Nicole finally neared the Gu family's property, she saw a car hurtling past her. Although she couldn't clearly see who was inside, she had a strange feeling that it could be Kerr.

Standing in the middle of the road, Nicole stared at the car as it disappeared into the shadows.

"Kerr..."

Harley had jumped into his car and followed Kerr, but the man had driven so fast that he'd left Harley for dust a while ago.

Suddenly, a woman appeared in the middle of the road, startling Harley. He stomped hard on the brakes, screeching to a halt just a few feet away from her.

As the shrill braking noise rang out, Nicole instinctively raised her hands to cover her ears.

The pain she expected didn't come. Her breathing was rapid and shallow as she heard footsteps from the car behind her.

"Nicole? Harley's face filled with astonishment and his mouth hung open in surprise. He couldn't believe his eyes. "Are you real or a ghost?" His words were tentative.

Nicole turned around and looked at Harley, her expression dark. "You really think I'm a ghost?" Nicole realized that if Harley had heard her voice earlier, she would not have to walk back all by herself.

Harley walked up to the woman and put his finger under her nose. Not until he felt her breath clearly did he truly believe that the person in front of him was a living Nicole.

She did actually look a little rough and a bit like a ghost.

"Great! You're not dead!" Harley heaved a sigh of relief.

Nicole gave Harley a strange look. "What are you talking about? Of course I’m not dead! I'm exhausted, though." As she spoke these words, she felt her legs grow weak.

She had never walked so far, let alone while pregnant.

Harley reached for Nicole. "Hang in there. I'll take you home right away." He helped her into the car. He was very worried about the woman. Right now, her face was looking so pale that it was almost lifeless.

Nicole sank wordlessly into the seat and closed her eyes, finally able to rest and relax. Within seconds, she was asleep.
