The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 96

Kerr's intense gaze silenced Bonnie as soon as she saw him.

When she noticed that Nicole was comfortably wrapped around in the arms of Kerr, she decided to quietly leave the room. Standing alone in front of the door of the ward, she caught a glimpse of Ken walking towards her from the other end of the corridor.

"Bonnie, why haven't you gone in?"

Ken was a little confused when he saw that Bonnie was just pacing to and fro in front of the door of the ward that Nicole was in.

He called Bonnie so she could take care of Nicole. She was injured so someone must look after her. Ken reached for the doorknob.

"Don't go in!"

Bonnie immediately stopped Ken from opening the door of the ward.

"My sister is already resting. You'd better take me to see my nephew. How is he doing? Any updates?"

When Ken told her what happened on the phone, she was petrified from shock.

"The doctor told us that Jay would be alright as long as he gets through the next 24 hours."

Ken took her hand and led her to the ICU. She felt a little uncomfortable by the gesture.

It was a 24-hour waiting torture for both Nicole and Kerr. Halfway through the wait, they had to give emergency medical attention to Jay once more due to a small complication but thankfully, he pushed through it.

Quietly sitting next to Jay, Nicole looked at the pale face of her son with a heavy feeling in her chest.

"Don't worry. The doctor told us that he will wake up by tonight," Kerr reassured her.

Kerr was by her side the whole time and never left. He would attempt to comfort her with his words every time that he would see her distressed face.

Upon hearing Kerr's words, Nicole just nodded without saying anything else. Nicole knew that she wouldn't feel even an ounce of relief until she saw her son open his eyes again.

"Mom…" a voice suddenly called out. "Mommy…"

Jay's small mouth slightly opened, and his voice was soft like a kitten's. His eyes were still closed. Perhaps because he was still in pain. His face suddenly scrunched up, like he was feeling something uncomfortable.

He frowned.

"Mommy is here, baby. I'm always by your side. Tell me, Jay. Where does it hurt?"

Nicole let out a sob as she whispered to Jay. She couldn't imagine why such harm would ever come to a child.

When he heard Nicole's voice, Jay slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing the worry in her face, Jay immediately gave her a faint smile and looked into her eyes.

"Mommy,"

Jay softly called out to Nicole. When the car accident occurred, he remembered that he felt nothing but pain. He even thought that he would never see his mother again.

"Mommy is here, Jay. I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's all my fault that you ended up here. Tell me, baby, where does it hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"

Tears kept flowing out of Nicole's eyes; she couldn't stop them. Her voice was full of regret as she sobbed in front of her son. She held his little hand with both of her hands and stared at the back of his hand inserted with the infusion tube.

She wished that she was the one lying on the bed and not her son. She would be willing to accept all of his pain if she could. Jay was still so young, he shouldn't be suffering like this. He didn't deserve it.
