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?"
Nic
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.
cognized the familiar smell of Kerr, she quickly turned around and threw herself into his arms.
"Let me lean on you for a while," she whispered to him.
Even though she was aware that she shouldn't depend on Kerr so much, she couldn't help it anymore. She just felt so helpless. It seemed that all the pain and fears that she had hidden in her heart for seven years just poured out of her.
Kerr's shirt quickly turned wet from Nicole's tears.
"It's okay. Don't be scared. No matter what happens in the future, I won't let you face it alone ever again. I will be by your side. You are not alone,"
Kerr told her in a comforting manner. This was something that no one should ever experience twice.
They stayed like that for quite some time. Nicole just cried her heart out until her voice became hoarse. Eventually, she wiped her tears away and took a step back from Kerr's embrace.
"I'm really sorry for ruining your shirt," she said sheepishly.
She felt a little bad once she saw the giant, wet stain on his clothes.
Admittedly, she felt so much better after crying. She had so many pent up things in her heart for so long. Her mood was so much better and she had better control of it now.
Even though Kerr had been nothing but sweet to her this whole time, she knew she couldn't let it get to her. She had to return to reality once again. After all, Kerr didn't belong to her, so she shouldn't be so greedy for his warm and gentle embrace.
