The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 57

When Jared heard Kerr, he came to Bonnie and picked her up, promptly leading her to the ward.

Nicole frowned, disappointed that Kerr didn't make an effort to help Bonnie. However, she had another concern in mind, so she decided to follow Jared and see how Bonnie was doing. She only didn't count with a firm grip on her arm, holding her in place.

"You are the only woman I want to hold in my arms."

Kerr wasn't the type of man who would embrace any woman unless he had to.

His eyes never left Nicole's as he told her that. Not even the hardness on her delicate features could've intimidated him to turn away from her.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I just want to see Bonnie."

Although she would never admit it, Kerr's words caused her cheeks to flush in a light shade of pink. As she distanced herself from him and walked towards the ward, she absentmindedly put on a smile.

Before Nicole could walk into the room, Jared came out and tried to soothe her.

"There's nothing to worry about, Director Ning. Miss Bonnie Ning just got scared. She will be fine as long as she rests for a while."

Noticing the blush adorning Nicole's cheeks, Jared's face twisted with worry.

"Director Ning, is something wrong? You seem quite flushed!"

Unconsciously, Nicole brought her hands to her reddened face.

"I'm fine," she said, trying to hide her embarrassment. "Thank you, Mr. Kang."

Nicole walked by Jared and went straight to the room. Inside, she approached Bonnie and sat next to her.

With concern, Nicole inspected Bonnie's pale face and looked at the hospital gown set beside her.

Then, she gently lifted the blanket covering Bonnie's body and carefully changed her clothes.

"No! Don't touch me!"

In her sleep, Bonnie had the feeling someone was touching her against her will. She woke up frightened, waving her arms and groaning as if she was trying to resist an assault.

"It's all right, Bonnie, don't be afraid. It's all right!"

Seeing the fear on her face, Nicole held her hand in order to soothe her.

"Don't worry. You've just had a nightmare."

Nicole gave Bonnie a few gentle pats on the back, hoping this would bring some sense of comfort to her.

"Sister!"

Looking upon Nicole's concerned eyes, Bonnie sought the safety of her arms and held tightly to them before bursting into tears.

Nicole hugged her sister back, silently allowing her to get it all out of her chest. Her lips curved into a smile as she felt relieved after hearing the name Bonnie used to call her.

Meanwhile, Kerr was watching everything from the outside. He witnessed the whole scene with a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Qin is awake and he's looking for Miss Bonnie."

Jared wasn't expecting that Ken would wake up anytime soon, so he hurried to report it to Kerr.

"Got it."

Since Kerr didn't wish to disturb Nicole and Bonnie, he turned around and headed towards Ken's room.

Jared glanced at Bonnie's door and caught a glimpse of her crying while Nicole embraced her. Saddened, he lowered his head for an instant before following Kerr.
