Chapter 113 Who Allowed You To Come Here

Nicole raised her head. The rain still obscured her vision, and she desperately tried to keep her eyes
open. She reached out her hand and felt someone in front of her.

Before Nicole could withdraw her hand, somebody had grabbed it. Nicole then found herself in the
arms of someone she could barely recognize under the merciless rain.

She then scented the man that now held her tightly. No doubt it was Kerr.

"Director Ning!" Jared called out through the rain.

Feeling Nicole falling forward, Jared couldn't help screaming. When he stepped forward, he found her
in Kerr's arms and shut up.

"Who allowed you to come here?"

Kerr hurriedly took off his suit jacket and put it over Nicole's head. Even in the darkness, he could see
her bright eyes clearly. He could feel that she was already drenched from the rain.

How could she have possibly gone here in such bad weather?

"I..."

Leaning against Kerr, Nicole struggled to say something but could not. The pouring rain and raging
wind made explaining very difficult and uncomfortable.

Nicole's faith on finding Kerr alive and well was what kept her going through this cold, wet hell and
back. Now that Kerr was in front of her, her knees buckled with relief.

She desperately grabbed onto Kerr to keep herself from falling.

"It's all right. I got you."



Kerr helped Nicole up. He could see his car's headlights flickering not far away, so he carried her in his
arms and walked toward the car.

Ken saw Kerr and Nicole through the rain and hurried back to the car to open the door for them.

"Do you have any dry clothes in here?" Kerr asked Ken.

He threw his jacket aside.

He proceeded to untangle Nicole gently out of her raincoat, feeling Nicole's cold skin against his.

"No, I don't. But there are dry bath towels at the back."

Ken raised the temperature in the car while Kerr took care of Nicole. He saw flickering lights in the rear-
view mirror.

"There are cars coming here," Ken said.

Nicole opened her eyes and looked at Kerr.

"That's Kim and his men. He ran into fallen trees looking for you up in the mountains. The road's
completely blocked. The cars can't go through. I asked them to stay behind and clear the road."

Nicole leaned her face against Kerr's chest. It was still raining like mad outside, but she had gradually
calmed down. Now that Kerr was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

"And you decided to walk up here in this weather? Are you insane?"

Kerr frowned down at Nicole. He wanted to tear her a new one for endangering her life to look for him,
but he could not help feeling surprised and moved at the same time. He had never felt like this before.

"I..."



Before Nicole could explain herself, Kerr's lips were upon hers.

Kerr did not want to hear it. All he wanted to do now was to hold Nicole in his arms, feel her warmth,
and never let go.

Ken turned his head and saw the exciting scene. He slowly opened his door and quietly slipped out of
the car into the pouring rain, giving the two some privacy. He ran towards Kim's car that was coming
their way.

Countless heartbeats had passed. Nicole was gasping for air by the time Kerr decided to let go. It was
as if Kerr had drunk up every ounce of oxygen from Nicole's lungs.

"How could you say you don't love me?"

Kerr held Nicole's gaze, determination shining brightly from his eyes. If what Nicole had done was not
out of love for him, he honestly did not know what else it could be.

Nicole averted her eyes.

It was not until now that she realized that her feelings for Kerr had not been her imagination. How could
it be? The moment she suspected that Kerr might be in danger, she hopped on the first car out to find
him no matter the cost.

She even worried about Kerr the entire trip. What else could it be but love? Nicole had fallen for Kerr.
She was only terrified to admit it in case it ended up unrequited.

"Let's find another way back."

Nicole did not answer Kerr and changed the subject. She had begun shivering because of the cold.



"It's too dangerous to go down the mountain now. I was rushing to come back to you, but now that
you're here, there's no hurry. Now I can wait for the storm to pass."

With a faint smile on his face, Kerr tightened his arm around Nicole.

"There must be another way back. Let's find it, and go home."

Nicole wanted to sit up, but she had grown so weak that she could only lean against Kerr's embrace.

"I can't risk that, not with you here."

Kerr had not been afraid of anything before Nicole came into his world. Now that she was a part of his
life, he had a soft spot and an awful lot of things to lose.

From now on, he was no longer alone. He had to start making it his life's mission to take care of Nicole
and Jay.

"Kerr... You..."

Nicole had never seen Kerr so serious. Moments later, she once again found herself trapped in his
affectionate stare.

"Hush now. Listen to me. You and Jay are my world now. I don't care who Jay's real father is and what
happened between you and him. I can't help feeling jealous of course.

I'm jealous because he had you, but at the same time, I'm glad that he lost you. And now I have you. I
love you, Nicole, and I'm prepared to love everything about you including your son. I know you worry
about him.

Please let me share that burden. Let me be a father to Jay so that he would no longer be a child
without a father."



As far as Kerr knew, Nicole had not chosen anyone to spend the rest of her life with because of her
son, Jay. He wanted to set her mind at ease and let her know that he would surely love her son too.

"I feel cold..."

Nicole reached out and hugged Kerr tightly, burying her face in his arms. Warm tears flooded her face,
drenching Kerr's shirt.

Love was a weakness for Nicole the way it was for Kerr.

Before she met Kerr, she had endured all the hardships alone. She had not cried in a long time, not
even when she gave birth to her son.

Not until now that she was locked inside Kerr's loving embrace. She sobbed against Kerr's chest. She
wanted to tell him the truth and be the woman by his side.
