Chapter 171 Live And Die Together

There were still four minutes left on the countdown. Without any hesitation, Kerr kissed Nicole. Even if
death was in front of them, he just hoped that what he brought to her was only joy and happiness.

Nicole's tears streamed down her cheeks to her mouth, which was a little bitter but surrounded by
sweetness as she felt the kiss from Kerr.

"Nicole, listen to me. If there are only three minutes left in our lives, I can kiss you in these two minutes
and fifty seconds and hold you tight during the last ten seconds."

Kerr looked much more composed rather than fearing for his life.

If this was the ending between Nicole and him, then Kerr was willing to accept it. After all, he would be
buried with Nicole one day. Therefore, it was just a matter of time for him.

"What are you even doing? Kerr, just go! Don't be silly! I don't want you to die with me. Who will take
care of Jay if we both die in here? Go. I don't want Jay to grow up alone for the rest of his life. I need
you to look after him!"

Nicole did not give up persuading Kerr. It was already enough for her to have met him in this life.

"Master! Master!"

Kim finally returned. He went straight to the bomb with a scissor in his hand as he looked at Nicole and
Kerr who were hugging each other tightly.

At the sight of Kim, Kerr snatched the scissors from his hand, seized Kim's collar and threw him to the
staircase.

"Go Kim! Go!"



With a smile on his face, Kerr returned to Nicole. There was less than one minute left. He asked with a
smile, "Nicole, would you like to bet with me? If we win the game, we will have a family reunion. I
promise you that we will never be separated ever again. If we lose the game, then that's it. I will
accompany you until the end."

Nicole shook her head desperately as she heard what Kerr just said. There was no time left to stop
him. He was more persistent than her in that moment.

Lowering his head, Kerr held Nicole's hand and chose a yellow wire. Just when there were only ten
seconds left, he cut it off.

Sweat dripped down from his forehead as he closed his eyes. This wasn't the first time for Kerr to
remove a bomb, but it was the first time that he had been so nervous to do it. He had Nicole's life in his
hands after all.

Suddenly, the countdown stopped at the last ten seconds.

Nicole felt that her heart was about to stop beating. With her eyes closed, she dared not to look at Kerr.

The sound of the beeping ceased and the countdown finally came to an end. When Nicole opened her
eyes, she looked directly into the eyes of Kerr.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Gu. You win."

As Kerr spoke, he untied the rope off her body and held her tightly in his arms.

"I really thought we were going to die. I was so scared..."

Hugged by Kerr, Nicole wept in a low voice. She had never been through such a heart stirring process
before. It had been her first near death experience.



Kerr gently patted Nicole's back and tried to comfort her. He held her up and began to walk out of the
building. Unexpectedly, Kerr heard a beep just as he had taken a few steps.

Almost in an instant, Kerr grabbed Nicole's arm and jumped away from the upcoming explosion as he
realized what was about to happen.

"Bang!"

When Kerr fell down with Nicole in his arms, the time bomb exploded.

The explosive sound impacted so loud in Nicole's ears that she started to lose consciousness as Kerr
firmly held her in his arms. Seconds later, the blood began to drip down from his neck.

There was still a faint smirk on Kerr's lips which didn't look like he was suffering from injuries at all.
Nicole wanted to raise her hand to touch his cheek, but she couldn't handle the pain anymore and lost
consciousness before her fingers touched him.

She felt that she had a long dream in which Kerr, Jay and herself were strolling on the grass hand in
hand and enjoying the sunshine. In the dream, she felt satisfied like never before.

When the picture changed, Nicole looked back, but there was no sign of Kerr. "Kerr!" It didn't matter
how hard she shouted, nobody responded to her.

"Kerr...Where are you?"

Nicole murmured saddened.

"Miss Ning?"

Standing beside the hospital bed, Kim watched her mumbling and knew that she was trying to wake up.



Nicole opened her eyes slowly and saw something white. She frowned as she felt the pain from her
arm when she tried to move.

Kim felt delighted as he saw her waking up. "Miss Ning! You finally woke up."

Nicole turned to look at Kim as she heard his voice and said weakly, "Kerr...Where is Kerr?"

Although she hadn't recovered from the coma yet, she was still looking for Kerr.

"Don't move too much Miss Ning. He is by your side."

Kim looked worriedly at Kerr, who was still in a coma as well.

It had been two days since the incident happened. Except for a slight burn on her arm, she had been in
a coma for a long time due to the big fright she had been through. On the other hand, Kerr got a worse
ending.

So far, there weren't clear signs of Kerr coming to his senses.

Following the direction of his gaze, Nicole turned her head and saw Kerr lying right next to her. He was
pale as a white paper with his eyes closed, and his arm was wrapped in white gauze. He looked
lifeless.

"How is he? Is he alright?"

There were still tears in her eyes, but she decided to hold them. She knew that it wasn't the time to
show weakness, while her memories were coming back bit by bit. She realized that Kerr must be
seriously injured.

Kim's eyes became solemn as he heard Nicole's question.



"Mr. Su said that Mr. Gu was seriously burned and his viscera was injured badly. It is uncertain whether
he might wake up or not really soon as we want."

Right after the incident happened, Kim called Harley and told him about it. In order not to make Jay
worried, Harley concealed it from him and sent him to Ken.

At this moment, the ward door was pushed open. With a medical record of Kerr and Nicole in his hand,
Harley walked in. He examined them briefly, and then looked at Kerr who was still in a coma as he
sighed helplessly.

"How do you feel, Nicole?"

Harley asked Nicole after checking on Kerr.

Nicole fixed her eyes on Kerr. When she heard this, she just shook her head slightly.

"I'm fine. Is Kerr going to be alright? Will he never wake up again?"

Although she was worried about Kerr, she had to prepare herself to face the worst scenario.
