The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 95 I Will Keep My Promise

"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.

She looked at them with concern. She knew that Ken and Jared would take good care of Kerr while she was gone. She just couldn't rest until she saw her son in the ICU.

When she was about to turn the wheelchair, Kerr slowly stretched out his hand in an attempt to stop her.

"I want to go with you."

He put his hands on the back of her wheelchair.

Kerr was also concerned about Jay, at the same time, he was also worried about Nicole. She was definitely chipper compared to hours ago, sure, but she was still hit in the head. Kerr didn't feel comfortable letting her do anything alone or letting her go anywhere by herself.

"You can return to the ward now. Jared and I will go check on Jay. I will update you if I hear anything else from the doctor. The most important thing right now is for the both of you to get some rest and regain your strength. That's the only way that you'll be able to take good care of him,"

Ken told them. Upon seeing Kerr's and Nicole's actions, he figured that they would be stubborn about who would get to see Jay. So, he made sure not to give them a chance to protest and directly sent them back to the ward.

Kerr helped Nicole settle back to the bed. Naturally, he lay down beside her and gently pulled her into his arms.

When she felt him pull her into his embrace, Nicole was a little stiff at first but in the end, she made no effort to push him away. Their position enabled her to stare at him; her feelings about him were mixed.

It wasn't easy for her to trust anyone and Kerr didn't exactly cherish the chance she gave him before. They had a complicated relationship. It was difficult for her to trust him again.

"What's on your mind?"

Although Kerr's eyes were closed, he could still feel her eyes on him. His voice was soft and gentle. Kerr knew he wouldn't be able to sleep until he was sure that Jay was truly out of danger. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

When she heard Kerr's voice, she quickly turned around in embarrassment. She looked up and stared at the ceiling instead.

"I was just thinking of Jay," she answered.

She couldn't tell him the whole truth. She was worried about her son, of course. However, her mixed emotions about Kerr and his intentions also flooded her mind. She couldn't help but feel anxious about it.

Every time she placed her trust on Kerr, she would get slapped hard by reality and end up disappointed. Whenever she thought that she had finally buried her feelings for him, Kerr would find a way to dig it out once again.

Maybe fate just liked playing tricks on her? The repeated disappointments made her cautious of his intentions. She had no idea whether she should let Kerr back in her life once more or not.

If love always came with pain, she would rather live without either of them.

"Don't worry. He will be okay. I will not let anything bad happen to him,"

Kerr said with confidence.

Kerr felt that the car accident was kind of a blessing in disguise. He felt bad for even thinking about it but without the accident, he wouldn't have had any reason to get close to her like this. If he hadn't been there, he might have lost both Nicole and Jay.

Nicole did not say anything.

She was a little worried that Kerr would figure out that he was actually Jay's father. It was definitely dangerous but judging from Kerr's actions, he was not suspicious of anything... yet.

Even though Nicole did not feel sleepy at all, her eyes slowly closed because of the calming ingredients in her medicine.

Listening to Nicole's steady and soft breathing, Kerr gently kissed the top of her head. He opened his eyes and looked at her with concern.

"Nicole?"

The door suddenly opened and revealed Bonnie on the other side of the door. She opened her mouth to say something but quickly halted when she locked eyes with Kerr.
