"Nicole!"
Struggling to keep her eyes open, a man's voice, Kerr's, called out to her from behind. She used all her willpower to keep her eyelids from shutting but the blood dripping from her forehead blocked her sight. Before long, her consciousness slipped away.
The car halted to a stop. Kerr got out and ran to Nicole's car in record time, finding her unconscious and her blood flowed down her face from the impact. The scene in front of his eyes shattered him.
As they reached the hospital, Nicole and Jay were rushed to the emergency room. Outside, Kerr watched the woman he loved and the little boy he adored disappear behind the doors, as he waited anxiously, clenching his fists in suspense.
When Jared and Ken arrived, they saw Kerr standing by the door of the emergency room, face washed with anguish.
"What happened?"
It was the first time that Ken saw him so nervous.
He recalled that when he was on a mission with this man in the past, Kerr was injured and sent to the emergency room. Before he blacked out, Kerr looked calm and unbothered.
The wound was so close to Kerr's heart. It almost damaged the main artery. Even then, Kerr was still very calm.
Yet now, his face was plastered with unease. Although he didn't say anything, the clear veins on his forehead showed his nervousness.
Soon after, a doctor came out from the operating room. Before the doctor said anything, Nicole was pushed out to be transferred to the recovery room.
"Nicole!"
Kerr immediately reached out to hold her hand, but she was still unconscious and her face was still very pale, her forehead wrapped in gauze.
Looking at the young woman, Kerr felt a pang in his heart.
"Mr. Gu, you can be assured that Miss Ning is fine. The wound on her forehead is just a small one. It has been treated. She will wake up soon. However, the boy's injuries are quite serious."
The doctor turned grim when Jay was mentioned.
When the car accident happened, Jay was sitting in the back seat, but he didn't sit on the children's special seat, nor was the seat belt fastened, so he was even more severely injured than Nicole.
Hearing his words, Kerr turned to look at the doctor and his eyes became fierce.
"If anything happens to that boy, this entire hospital will go to the ground with him, do you understand?"
Only he was aware that his heart dropped when he heard that Jay was in serious danger. He had never felt this protective of anyone before. If Jay wouldn't make it, he would tear this hospital down brick by brick.
He would never allow anything to happen to Jay, never.
"Rest assured, Mr. Gu, we will do our best."
Upon hearing this, the doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand subconsciously. He lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at the fierce eyes of Kerr because he knew that what Kerr said would come to fruition if they didn't succeed.
Hearing this, Ken was stunned and then looked at Jared in a little confusion. There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and even Jared shook his head helplessly.
Looking at the reaction of Kerr, Jared was not shocked with what happened at all. After all, he had seen how much Kerr valued Nicole and Jay, so naturally he did not feel surprised.
