Kim fell silent. He was not able to confirm if the tire tracks belonged to Kerr's car. He had only hoped that Kerr was all right.
"Jared, how far is the site from here?"
Nicole turned to Jared.
She could not wait any longer. She would not feel relieved until she was sure that Kerr was safe and sound.
"About three kilometers."
Jared had once come to the site with Kerr, so he was a little more familiar with the place.
"I have an idea. Kim, you stay here and clear the road. Have someone check if the fallen vehicle was Kerr's car or not. Jared and I will walk to the construction site."
Nicole was unusually calm as she doled out the tasks.
A car might not be able to pass through the road, but she could. She wanted to make sure Kerr was all right, and there was no stopping her.
"Director Ning, the rain is too heavy. You'll be worn out. Please just stay in the car until the road is cleared. I'll go to the site with Kim's people."
Jared was not about to indulge Nicole. If something happened to her, he could not afford the consequences.
"Mr. Kang, I didn't come here to wait. I should've just stayed at the hospital if that were the case. I know my own health. I'm going."
Nicole tightened her coat, put on her hood, and prepared to get out of the car. Kim stopped her.
"Miss Ning, at least put on this raincoat."
Kim took off his raincoat and handed it to Nicole. It was dripping wet, but it was better than nothing. There were strong winds outside, so it was impossible to hold an umbrella.
"What about you?"
Nicole refused to take Kim's raincoat. She looked at him hesitantly. Kim might work for Kerr, but that did not mean his life mattered less than hers.
Kim was just as important ali
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
orrow morning at the earliest."
It was impossible to ask people to get it repaired in such a bad weather.
Kerr was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Looking out the window, Kerr spotted several flickering lights in the distance. They were very small and could not be noticed if one did not look carefully.
Kerr stepped out of the car and into the pouring rain.
"Where are you going?"
Kerr ignored Ken's question. Ken had no choice but to follow.
"We're almost at the site, Director Ning. Keep going," Jared encouraged Nicole.
Nicole was beginning to falter on her steps but trying very hard not to show it.
She nodded, bit her lip, and kept going. The wind and rain made it difficult for her to keep her eyes open.
At this moment, Nicole was very grateful for Jared, for without him, she would not have made it this far.
"Nicole?"
Perhaps it was an illusion. Nicole seemed to hear Kerr calling her name, but when she raised her head, it was still dark and she could not see anything.
"Director Ning, I think I heard Mr. Gu."
Jared heard Kerr's voice but could not be sure.
Kerr fumbled in the rain by instinct.
