"Were you able to transfuse blood to Jay?"
When Nicole saw how pale Kerr looked, she felt bad for him.
Nicole knew that Kerr would be able to transfuse blood to Jay because Kerr was her son's real father. But right now, Kerr knew nothing about that fact. She was actually rather impressed that Kerr would go through all of that just to save the life of a child who had nothing to do with him.
Kerr wasn't usually the type who liked to meddle with other people's business. But why did he do that? Nicole somewhat knew the answer in her heart.
Upon hearing that, Kerr gave Nicole a bright smile and gently held her soft hands.
"It wasn't that big of a deal. I told you he would be fine. I promised you that I wouldn't let anything happen to him. I never break any of my promises."
He had disappointed Nicole when he couldn't explain himself during their previous misunderstanding. However, now the situations were different. Since he had the power to save her son, he wouldn't disappoint her again. He had to keep his promise this time.
In fact, Kerr would do everything to save Jay even if Nicole wasn't around.
"Why did you save a boy that had nothing to do with you?"
Tears were threatening to come out of Nicole's eyes, but she took a deep breath and managed to hold them back.
Nicole suddenly had an idea in her mind, but she couldn't believe that she even thought of it.
"Because he…" Kerr paused and blinked at her. "He is your son. I love you, Nicole, and I am willing to love him too like he was my own child," Kerr finally said.
Kerr didn't want to hide his feelings from Nicole anymore. He just wanted to express his love for her clearly.
He couldn't even begin to imagine how devastated he would be if the car accident had taken Nicole's and Jay's lives. It would crush him.
It was the first time that he wanted to badly let Nicole know how much he loved her. He loved the child too, even though he wasn't related to him by blood.
Ken, who stood next to them, widened his eyes in shock at Kerr's statement. Ken even thought that maybe he was hearing things.
Nicole gave Kerr the sincerest look; she couldn't believe it. This time, she let the tears fall from her eyes.
"I..."
The doctor suddenly came out of the emergency room, unaware of what was just happening between Kerr and Nicole. He immediately looked at Kerr and said,
"Mr. Gu, Jay has been transferred to the ICU. If he could live through the next twenty-four hours, he will be out of danger."
Everyone felt a sense of relief when the doctor shared the news, except for Kerr and Nicole.
They knew that they wouldn't feel at ease unless they could see Jay finally awake.
After that, Kerr decided to stand up because he wanted to send Nicole back to the ward. However, he felt dizzy as soon as he did so. Luckily, he was able to lean on the wall behind for support, which stopped his fall.
Then, he just stood there motionless.
"Kerr!"
Ken was quick to react and immediately held on to Kerr's arm. He shook his shoulders slightly and slapped his cheeks gently. How much blood did he give to Jay? Kerr had always been a strong person, yet, he looked so pale and weak at the moment.
"Take him to the ward. I need to go to the ICU," Nicole told them.
