The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 235 Threatening Each Other

"You know what? I almost lost our baby just now. Moore threatened Lily! He wanted to hurt the baby. It was lucky for us that Lily didn't go through with it in the end.

So I really should stay in the hospital for a few days. Imagine how much it will confuse Moore, not to mention help Lily. You can use the time to spread the rumor that I've had a miscarriage."

Nicole had given the matter a lot of thought and she had it all planned out.

"Okay." Kerr gave a slight nod. The day after tomorrow, he would take Nicole to a new place so that there was no way Moore could find her anymore.

The car pulled up outside the hospital. Kerr carried Nicole to the ward. He'd made sure that Harley knew all about what was happening, allowing him to pre-arrange a hospital room for her.

With Nicole comfortably settled in the hospital, Kerr contacted Jared and asked him to call Avery. Nicole needed company and who better than her best friend to keep her from boredom. Also, Kerr could take the opportunity to threaten Zachary.

Avery hung up the phone after Jared's call and immediately picked up her car keys, heading for the door. But before she could leave, Zachary appeared in the doorway.

"Where are you going?"

Zachary hadn't gone back to the Lin Group after Kerr's warning. The truth was that it had gotten to him. Instead, he returned to the villa. The last thing he expected was to see Avery on her way out.

"Kerr asked Jared to call me. He said Nicole's in the hospital! I'm going to visit her." Avery was really worried about Nicole. She didn't have time to fight with Zachary.

Putting on her shoes, she hurried toward the door. Avery had been in such a rush to hang up the phone and get to her friend, she hadn't thought to ask Jared for the full details of Nicole's condition.

"I'll go with you." Zachary reached over and took Avery's hand.

After all, he was sure that Kerr was looking after Nicole and keeping her safe from harm. All of this was clearly an excuse made up by Kerr to fool Avery. Only an innocent girl like her would believe all of this.

Avery didn't want to hang around, so she didn't even try to pull her hand away from his. There was no time to waste.

When Jared arrived at the hospital corridor, he was surprised to see that Zachary had tagged along with Avery.

Acknowledging Jared with a curt nod, Avery pushed the door open. Just as she entered the room, Kerr appeared from the opposite direction.

"Are you trying to fool Avery with your tricks?"

Zachary was filled with disdain for such shady tactics.

Kerr looked directly at him and shrugged. "If I were you, I would have married Avery at the first opportunity."

He knew the truth. Zachary had still not managed to win Avery's heart.

"Don't worry about me. Haven't you heard what they say? The most dangerous place is also the safest." In actual fact, it didn't worry Zachary at all that Avery was with Nicole.

Because he knew that Kerr cared about Nicole‘s feelings.

Zachary spun on his heels, turning to leave, but he suddenly stopped and turned back to face Kerr. His tone was light and playful when he mocked, "If I were you, I would worry about the wedding the day after tomorrow.

Don't go thinking the He family is easily fooled." Zachary had already heard all about Kerr's plan, thanks to Avery.

In fact, he secretly admired the way that Kerr was doing this for Nicole's sake.

Kerr took in the man's words silently, not trying to stop Zachary from leaving.

"Tell Harley to be careful." As Kerr spoke these words to Jared, he knew that this wasn't his only concern. He was also worried that the wedding might hurt Nicole.

But what he didn't know was that the surprise he had so carefully prepared was about to be discovered by Nicole before it could become a reality.

In the ward

Nicole gave Avery a blow-by-blow account of everything that had happened, and it wasn't long before her friend knew the truth about Nicole just pretending to be sick. Instead of being worried, Avery grew increasingly outraged.

"I really need to teach that scumbag a lesson! Otherwise Moore Gu is just going to go around thinking women are pushovers." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Avery's expression burned with righteous indignation.

Her best friend's reaction didn't really surprise Nicole at all. She couldn't help letting out a loud laugh. "You're about to get married and all, but deep down you're exactly the same as you've always been!"

Avery rolled her eyes at her friend's words. "Oh right, like you changed yourself? And anyway, don't go talking like any of this my fault. I never expected we will get married off like this!"

Avery was filled with a sudden nostalgia, a longing for the carefree days of her youth. But she frowned when she noticed the confusing look in Nicole's eyes.

"What? Didn't Kerr tell you about it? I got an invitation to your wedding; you and Kerr. Wait, didn't you know about it?" Avery looked at Nicole in surprise.

Then she realized that something was wrong. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

Nicole had heard every word her friend had said clearly, but she still couldn't bring herself to believe it. "Avery, what are you talking about?"

Her eyes shiny with tears, Nicole reached out and took her friend's wrist. She wasn't going to let her get away with this easily.

Avery's cheeks flushed with embarrassment and she bit her lip. "I didn't know! He obviously didn't tell you because he wanted to surprise you with it. The ceremony is all arranged for the day after tomorrow. I saw the invitations and it was clearly Kerr's marriage to you.

Sunny‘s name wasn’t on the invitation card."

Well, if it wasn't Nicole and Kerr's wedding, Avery would definitely not attend the wedding. How could Kerr have sent an invitation and asked for her blessing?

Avery's words put a big smile on Nicole's face. She thought about the way that Kerr had been secretly preparing for the establishment of the Ning Group.

Now he wanted to surprise her again. Well, maybe it was time for her to make a move this time.

"What? So Kerr wanted to keep me in the dark? Isn’t he scared his bride might run away before the wedding ceremony can even begin?" Nicole felt her confidence finally flooding back. No wonder Kerr had been so cool all this time.

When Avery saw the determined look on Nicole's face, she had a bad feeling about it.

"Wait, you're serious? Would you really do that?"

As if! Nicole was joking, of course. How could she possibly abandon Kerr at the altar?

But Nicole didn't tell her friend what she was thinking. Instead, she smiled and put her hand on her belly, feeling the baby inside.

"Nicole, seriously, you need to give it a lot of thought. I wanted to run away from my wedding but I know that if my father found out what I was thinking, he'd break my legs. I get that Kerr wouldn't hurt you, but still, it's not a good idea..."

Avery heaved a deep sigh of resignation.
