The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 55 Don't Open Your Eyes

"Since you won't move a muscle to save my sister, then I'll do! Put your hands off me now!" Nicole shouted.

Her sister was being bullied in that building, but Ken and Kerr were totally uncaring towards her. Although they were not familiar with Bonnie, Nicole still thought they were so cruel to just stand by.

Due to the disappointing reaction from Kerr, Nicole stopped feeling grateful for him.

"We have to wait for the right moment to intervene and save Bonnie. You need to relax, Nicole."

Kerr grabbed Nicole with his wide arms and got her into the car as he said these words.

He was also sure that Ken would take good care of Bonnie since he had come here with her. Kerr knew that Ken wasn't much of a cold-blooded person.

He was aware as well that the only reason that would make Ken smoke was if he encountered himself in a alarming position.

"You're a liar! I can see it in your eyes. Just let me go for once! I swear that if my sister isn't okay, I will make your life a living hell! Don't think I don't know what you guys did in Good Times!"

Even if they didn't tell her, Nicole already guessed why they went to that club and what had happened to Bonnie that night.

The disappointment was too much for Nicole that it came to the point that Kerr and Ken were exactly the same sort of person in her eyes.

"What did I do?"

Kerr wasn't even annoyed with Nicole's statements as he kept an expectantly straight look at her.

If she was mad at him because he went to that kind of place to have fun, it meant that she actually cared about him.

"Just let go of me for God's sake! What is your problem?"

She realized that there wasn't time to waste arguing with Kerr since the atmosphere in the warehouse wasn't safe at all yet, especially for a girl like Bonnie that would show up alone there late at night.

Even if Nicole was a weak girl herself, she couldn't bear to see Bonnie suffer any harm. What Bonnie was experiencing might be a devastating blow to her.

Ken started to move and walked directly to the warehouse while Kerr still had Nicole trapped in his arms.

Ken was expecting for the perfect moment to act.

"What can you do to help even if you go inside? You will just be another plaything for those men in the warehouse."

Kerr just wanted Nicole to realize how risky trying to interfere with Ken's plans would be for her safety. But he was worried that she would even get way more upset.

Just like last time, she went to Good Times alone. If she had met a drunken man instead of meeting Kerr, she might have been raped already.

Nicole's tears silently started to stream down her cheeks as she heard Ken's words. Then she pushed Kerr away.

"Don't try to think that I'm like you. You probably have the guts to be stone hearted, but I don't. I never thought you would behave like this. It seems that after all this time, the true self of Kerr Gu has finally come to light, the cold-blooded beast in fancy suits."

Nicole was drugged when she met Kerr seven years ago. He could've avoided her or helped her out in some other way but he didn't.

He was just like any other man who would've never missed such a cheap chance to get a girl.

Nicole's tears kept falling harshly as she said those words to Kerr, which made her feel wronged for no reason.

Kerr could feel her heavy tears as cold as a freezing breeze on his hands.

"Ken is already on his way to help Bonnie out, Nicole. I know for sure that he will keep her out of danger. You should stop letting those tears drop."

Kerr tried to calm her down with comforting words as he looked at her with charming eyes and wiped her tears off her face.

He knew very well that Nicole had already gone through worse events while taking care of Jay. It was strange for him that such toughness and courage would get faded by these circumstances.

Thus, that aspect of Nicole was an unknown fact to others.

"Are you really convinced that she will be okay?"

Now she was wiping her own tears off with the back of her shaky hand as she landed a look of hope on him.

The only thing she didn't want to do was to believe his comfy words as she tried to listen to her heart. However, there was a part of her that filled her eyes with expectation.

She couldn't help but unconsciously have Kerr as her harbor on which she could rely during that stressful moment.

"Aren't you supposed to be a grown woman? Those are tears of a child."

He gently held her saddened face and wiped off the rest of the tears that were left on her cheeks as he sat her on the back seat.

Before closing the car door, he spotted a mysterious black car that drove past him from the corner of his right eye. He instantly notified Jared when that happened. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Jared, that black car had a strange vibe in it. I could sense it. I need you to find someone to keep all eyes on that car."

His inner impatient and anxious intuition told him that there must be something wrong with that car.

"I watched it passing by too, Mr. Gu. I didn't like it either."

Jared was lost in thought as he saw the black car vanishing in the distance. Then he turned around and walked towards the warehouse.

Kerr decided not to take the risk of keeping Nicole in the car since there might be someone suspicious driving around outside. Therefore, both got out while holding hands tightly.

"If everything goes badly and we found ourselves in danger, don't you ever let go of my hand."

Kerr noticed that it had been quite a while since there was no sign of Ken from the warehouse yet. Now he was unsure if he would make it or not.

He had wanted to take advantage of Bonnie's matter to win Nicole's trust. But he didn't want to put Nicole in any kind of danger. The most important task for him now was to keep her secured and keeping her away from menaces.

"Alright, I'll keep my hand held firmly to yours."

Nicole decided to get more cautious with their surroundings as she sensed the concern and seriousness on Kerr's rigid face.

She thought that being mad at him would be the dumbest thing to do at that point. Their safety was more important to maintain than ever as she saw how tight he was holding her hand. Thus, the only way for her to feel relieved was to stand by his side.

When he observed how determined she was to follow his lead to the warehouse, he felt confident to confront the dangerous scene.

"Ken! Wake up Ken! Are you with me? Ken!"

The first thing they heard as they walked in the warehouse was Bonnie's cry while she was shouting at Ken to wake him up.

Kerr speeded up his pace as he subconsciously ran into the room where Bonnie and Ken were. He could witness the floor covered with a stream of blood as he arrived and swiftly raised his hands to cover Nicole's eyes.

"You mustn’t see this Nicole! Please don't try to uncover your eyes!"

Kerr didn't want Nicole to faint or to get too scared as he kept his hands over her eyes.

Nicole was smart enough though to tell that there was blood in the room because of the smell. But she still couldn't see it with her own eyes since Kerr wouldn't let her.

"Bonnie are you there? Please tell me you're alright!" Nicole shouted.

Kerr wouldn't let Nicole to watch the bloody scenario. She was only able to be worried at that instant.

"Just listen to me Nicole! She is fine. You need to trust me on this one."

Right after saying this, he took off his tie to wrap her eyes, so he could act with his hands.

"You don't want this tie taken off, trust me. You will regret it if you do it."

She felt that Kerr needed to do his thing calmly, so she agreed not to take the tie off her eyes, even though she hesitated at first as she heard his words.

Kerr had to be sure that Nicole wouldn't try anything to take the tie off before attempting to check on Ken and Bonnie. When he realized that she was cooperating, he turned around and assisted Ken. Jared had already checked on Ken before they even got there.
