The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 125 The Password Is Her Birthday

Kelvin sat back on the sofa after Nicole left.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he picked up the glass of water from the table and took a sip. Vedder went downstairs and found him.

"She's not going to honor your deal."

With a sigh, Vedder placed a recorder in front of Kelvin. His tone was calm but determined.

"You don't know that. Besides, no one wants to die. I'm sure that woman doesn't." Kelvin frowned slightly.

"You want to bet? I'm sure she won't leave,"

Vedder said firmly.

"If she stays, I'll kill her and her son." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

That was the simplest but worst plan. There was no telling Kerr's reaction.

"You won't dare. The young master will have your head." Vedder knew that if it were not for Jack, Kelvin would not consider murder to solve the problem with Kerr. "Have you seen Jay Ning?" Vedder asked.

Kelvin shook his head.

"That boy is a spitting image of the young master. He must be his son."

Vedder then stood up and walked out, leaving Kelvin in the living room sighing.

Kelvin's eyes suddenly lit up. Vedder had just given him an idea.

At the hospital, Nicole headed back to the ward.

She was about to enter her room when she saw Harley coming from the other end of the corridor.

"Doctor Su, can I leave the hospital now?"

Nicole had to leave the hospital and figure out a solution. She could not just sit by and do nothing. Her next moves would decide her future.

Her happiness was on the line. She would never give it up easily.

Harley nodded.

"Your physical indexes are almost normal now. If Kerr agrees, you may leave the hospital. I can arrange your discharge."

Harley did not really think that Nicole was seriously ill. Kerr was just overreacting.

"I have to leave the hospital and take care of something today. Will you watch Jay for me? I would really appreciate it."

Nicole was about to turn around and leave when Harley stopped her.

"Are you going to meet with Kerr? You can take my car."

With a big smile, Harley handed Nicole his car key.

Kerr chose Nicole after all, and Harley was happy for both of them. Last night, he had gotten a general idea of what had happened between Kerr and Nicole from Ken. He also saw the change in Kerr since Nicole showed up.

As Kerr's good friend, all Harley could do was to support him and, by extension, Nicole.

"Thank you."

Nicole took the car key, went back to the ward, and changed her clothes. She checked on Jay and then left the hospital.

Watching Nicole leave, Jay turned on his laptop and sent a signal. The call was soon connected.

"What's up, Jay?"

A young girl's voice chirped through Jay's earphone. His laptop screen remained dark.

"Callie, my father said I would have a brother or sister soon."

Jay was excited.

"Wow, that's great. Anything else? I'm kind of busy."

Callie's voice was sweet and calm.

"Are you in trouble? Can I help you?"

Jay asked with great concern.

"It's not a big deal. I'm just destroying a system. Wait, you've found your father?"

Not long ago, Callie remembered that Jay was skeptical about that.

"Yes, I have, but there might be a little trouble. Have you gotten any information about your mother?"

"Not yet. I have to go, Jay. Bye."

Before Jay could say any more, Callie had already ended the call. He had heard the disappointment in her voice. When they first met, Jay was looking for his father and Callie was looking for her mother.

It had become the foundation of their friendship, but they had not seen each other in person.

On the road, Nicole drove aimlessly. She eventually found herself in front of the Gu Group building. Looking at the tall building, Nicole imagined Kerr working earnestly in his office.

Since they had been together, Nicole thought of Kerr all the time.

She stepped out of the car and walked toward the building.

"Director Ning, what are you doing here? Aren't you on holiday?"

Lily was surprised to see Nicole. She had received the notice on the day of the bidding that Nicole was going on a long vacation.

"I have something to deal with. Is the bidding finished?"

Although Nicole was confident, she was a little nervous about the possible results.

"The results will be out tomorrow."

"All right. Thanks."

Nodding at Lily, Nicole walked toward the exclusive elevator to Kerr's office and got in.

Jared was walking out of Kerr's office when she arrived.

"Is Kerr inside?"

Jared was surprised to see Nicole.

"Director Ning, why are you out of the hospital? Mr. Gu is in a meeting, and it may take a while. Let me tell him you're here."

Jared turned around and started walking to the conference room. He knew that nothing was more important to Kerr than Nicole.

"No, don't tell him. Let him concentrate on his meeting. I'll just wait for him in his office. It's not an emergency anyway."

Jared nodded, and Nicole headed to Kerr's office.

She approached Kerr's desk and picked up a pen sitting on it. Once again, Nicole imagined Kerr holding the same pen.

She pulled Kerr's office chair away and saw a safe under the desk. She wondered what could possibly be inside.

Nicole knelt in front of the safe and hesitated. She then went ahead and entered her birthday as the combination. To her surprise, the safe door flew open.

An envelope was sitting inside the safe. She suddenly thought of something. Nicole reached for the envelope and opened it with trembling hands. It contained 2,642 dollars.

The corners of her mouth lifted up slightly. This was her hard-earned money. She did not expect that Kerr had kept it. She put the money back into the envelope and put the envelope back in the safe. Then, she stood up and walked to the French window.

The door of the office swung open.

"Who are you? Who allowed you to come in here?" a serious female voice asked.

Nicole slowly turned around and saw a young woman in a black suit. She must be a new secretary.
