Chapter 110 I Want To See Him

'If I set out after Kim arrives, I won't be able to make it,' Kerr thought.

"I'm leaving now. Tell Kim and his men to follow after me as soon as they arrive."

Kerr got in the driver's seat and gunned the engine.

"But Mr. Gu..."

As Kerr's car slowly disappeared into the night, a raindrop fell from the sky. There was a hint of worry in
Jared's eyes, but he had no choice.

He had to do what Kerr asked him to do, so he turned around and walked back into the hospital. As he
made his way to Nicole's ward, he sent a message to Kim, telling him to follow after Kerr and protect
him.

At the ward, Nicole sat on her bed.

The storm had come. Nicole watched the thick, angry raindrops pummel the glass window like little
liquid shards. She could not see anything outside now but a blanket of rain.

Then, lightning flashed across the night sky, lighting everything up and cleaving the heavens in half.
Roaring thunder followed suit.

Nicole hurriedly covered Jay's ears, worried that the wild storm would stir him awake, but the boy
remained fast asleep. Nicole sighed with relief and gently stroked Jay's hair.

She tried her best to keep her mind off Kerr, but she was still so worried.

It felt like a lifetime had passed, but Nicole still could not fall asleep. She quietly slipped out of bed, took
out a coat from the wardrobe, and walked out of the ward.



"Director Ning, why are you still up?"

Jared had been guarding Nicole's door as per Kerr's orders. He was surprised to see her walking about
at this late hour.

"I can't sleep, Mr. Kang. You must know where Kerr is. What happened? Is there anything wrong?"

Nicole looked into Jared's eyes and was convinced she was right.

Jared hesitated under Nicole's stern gaze. Although Kerr did not ask him to keep his whereabouts a
secret before he left, he knew that Kerr would not want Nicole to get involved.

"Nothing's wrong, Director Ning. It's just work. Please go to bed."

Right on cue, Jared's phone rang. He excused himself and answered the call.

"Kim,

where are you?"

Hearing Kim's words, Jared frowned and grew nervous.

"What do you mean you can't find him? How come? You have to locate Mr. Gu immediately."

The line went dead after that. When Jared dialed again, no one picked up.

"Who can't be found? Is it Kerr?"

Nicole had not heard the entire conversation, but she could guess what it was about.

"No, it's not."

Jared tried to hide his emotions.



Nicole took out her phone and tried calling Kerr, but she could not reach him. She dialed several times,
but the line was busy.

"Jared, what are you keeping from me? Where on earth did Kerr go? Is he in danger now?"

Jared did not respond, but Nicole could tell from the nervous look on his face that he was worried. It
took a moment for Nicole to realize that she was now fully worried for Kerr.

"Mr. Gu, he... He went to the mountains. The signal's bad there, that's why we can't reach him."

It was late and raining cats and dogs. The mountain road at this time of night and this kind of weather
was difficult to find. The bad signal was not helping. They were worried for Kerr's safety.

"It's late. What's he doing up in the mountains?"

It was not suitable for anyone to go to the mountains in this weather, but Nicole believed that Kerr
would not risk the dangerous journey for anything unimportant.

"There's a project up in the mountains. Mr. Qin's on-site. Mr. Gu's worried about him being alone up
there, so he rushed there."

What Jared said was true. However, the project had nothing to do with the Gu Group. It was Kerr's and
only his.

"Is your car here? Give me the key."

Nicole was determined. As the night sky threatened to collapse with the heavy rain and deafening
thunder, Nicole reached out her hand and waited for Jared to hand over his car key.

"Director Ning... Are you going after Mr. Gu?"



Jared was a little surprised to see such determination in Nicole's face. She did not look like a weak
woman, but making such a risky decision took tremendous courage. Jared could only imagine what
went on inside Nicole's head.

"Please take care of Jay for me. I'll be back soon."

Nicole returned to the ward, threw on a set of casual clothes, and tied her long hair into a ponytail.
Then, she went out and picked up Jared's car key.

"Director Ning, wait!"

Jared ran after Nicole.

"The storm's worsening, and you just got off surgery today. At least let me drive."

Jared grabbed an umbrella and opened it over Nicole's head before she went out.

"But Jay..."

Nicole turned to look at the direction of the ward. Jay was asleep, but she could not leave him alone.
He was still a child.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of him."

Leaning against the wall behind Nicole, Harley smiled at her, his arms crossed over his chest.

Before Kerr left, he had asked Harley to head over to the hospital to watch over Nicole and Jay. Harley
would have wanted to help with the situation up in the mountains, but he believed that Kerr and Ken
had it covered. After all, they had experienced worse.



Harley did not worry about Kerr and Ken at all. He was a little surprised, however, at the way Nicole
acted. Some women were delicate and fragile. Nicole was bold and tough.

"Thank you so much."

Although Nicole did not know Harley well, she knew that Kerr trusted him the way he trusted Ken. She
could trust him, too.

Soon, Nicole and Jared were driving after Kerr.

The rain was growing immensely heavy that the car wipers could not keep up. Jared had to slow down.

"Tell me the truth, Jared. What happened up in the mountains? I don't remember any Gu Group
projects in progress up there."

Watching heavy rain fall on the windshield, Nicole's heart quivered.
