Kerr had no choice but to wait in front of the emergency room. The light that had "in operation" written
on it felt like it was taunting him. Kerr frowned at it.
With Kerr's briefcase in hand, Jared walked into the room. Kerr's private phone in the briefcase
suddenly rang. Jared checked the number and quickly walked over to Kerr when he saw who it was.
"Mr. Gu, it's Mr. Su."
When he heard that, it felt like Kerr suddenly came to his senses. He reached out for his cell phone.
"Mr. Gu, I'm back,"
Harley Su greeted with enthusiasm.
In the VIP passage of the airport, a man dressed in white casual clothes and big, dark sunglasses
walked coolly. His eyes were covered by his glasses but his charming smile was enough to get the girls
to turn their heads.
With a one-of-a-kind silver suitcase in his hand, Harrow Su followed Harley Su quietly and stared at the
young master in front of him, thinking, 'I still couldn't believe that this playful man has chosen such a
serious occupation.'
"Come to the hospital in ten minutes,"
Kerr ordered and hung up the phone before either of them could say anything else. With Harley's
arrival, Kerr felt a little bit at ease.
Staring at the red Ferrari parked in front of the gate of the airport, Harley Su couldn't stop the slight
smirk that appeared on his face. Harrow Su reached out to open the door of the backseat but Harley
didn't go in with him. Instead, he motioned for the driver to get off his seat.
Harley Su made himself comfortable as he sat on the driver's seat before then started the engine of the
car. The red Ferrari sped away in a flash.
Ten minutes later, when he saw Kerr standing in front of the door of the emergency room, Harley
walked towards him, a playful smile drawn on his face.
"Go inside and check up on her. I just want her to be safe."
Kerr looked at Harley Su with a serious gaze.
He had faith in Harley's abilities as a doctor. However, he still couldn't stop himself from immensely
worrying about Nicole and her well-being.
"Who could be the person that's making you worry this much?"
Harley was curious to see the person whom Kerr was so concerned about. He had known Kerr for
more than ten years but he had never seen him this distressed about anyone before.
There was only one girl from seven years ago that managed to capture Kerr's attention like now.
"Cut the crap," Kerr hissed at him.
He didn't have the time nor the patience to explain everything to him.
Once Harley Su realized that Kerr wasn't playing around, he walked into the emergency room to gather
info about his patient. Two minutes later, he came out.
"There's nothing to worry about. It's just a minor surgery. It'll be done quickly and I have already asked
the people to prepare for it," Harley explained.
As a doctor, Harley Su made sure that he always carried himself in a professional manner. He didn't
care about the identity or the reputation of his patients. In his eyes, they were just people that needed
his help.
With a special surgical toolkit in his hands, Harrow Su walked over to them. He gave Kerr a small nod
when he noticed him.
"Mr. Gu," Harrow Su greeted.
Harrow was not as strong as Harley. As soon as he got off the Ferrari, he vomited all the food in his
stomach. He asked Harley several times not to drive so carelessly but Harley was a stubborn man.
"How long will the surgery take?"
Kerr did not feel even slightly relaxed despite Harley's explanation.
He didn't want Nicole to feel any pain, and even if the surgery was a small one, he felt that it was still
dangerous. He just couldn't bear for her to be in any kind of danger.
"It will take about an hour," Harley answered.
He ruffled Harrow's little head and messed up his hair. He was confident that the surgery would be fine
and he wasn't nervous in any way.
A nurse walked out of the operation room and walked over to Harley.
"Mr. Su, everything is ready," she informed him.
When he heard that, Harley turned around and walked towards the operating room.
Harley changed into his scrubs. By the time that he reached the operating table, the playful smile was
gone and he had a more serious look on his face. His eyes were focused and determined. It was as if
he was a completely different person in the surgery room.
Harrow also changed into scrubs and followed Harley into the operating room. He stood beside him as
his assistant. He was Harley's most capable assistant; he knew how Harley functioned in the surgery
room.
For Harley, an hour was nothing. However, for Kerr, who was stuck waiting outside of the operating
room, it felt like an eternity.
Kerr had been staring at his watch ever since Harley entered the operating room. He watched the
hands tick non-stop, indicating each second that passed. Kerr couldn't keep still.
"Mr. Gu, please calm down. I'm sure Miss Ning will be okay,"
Jared told Kerr, however, he was not able to hide the look of nervousness on his face. He opened his
mouth to say something else but closed it quickly.
"Just spit it out."
Even though his eyes were focused somewhere else, Kerr could feel that Jared had something else to
say.
"Yes, Mr. Gu. I have sent someone to watch over the bidding event for you. There are no problems
regarding that for now but I can't contact Mr. Qin," Jared reported to Kerr.
"However, I'll still try to get in touch with him."
Jared was aware that Ken was in the mountains and that his phone signal wasn't always reliable.
However, this was the first time that he had lost all contact with the man completely.
"Keep trying. Don't let things go wrong."
Kerr's complete attention was entirely on Nicole, and yet she didn't even know it.
Inside the operating room,
Nicole lay on the table and felt cold sweats all over her body. Her brows were wrinkled together.
Ten minutes later, Kerr was still outside the operating room, waiting anxiously for any news.
"Why isn't she out yet?"
Jared felt bad for Kerr when he heard how distressed his voice was. It had only been ten minutes; it
was barely enough time for the surgery to be completed and yet Kerr already looked like he was about
to explode from waiting.
"Mr. Gu, wait a little more. It has only been ten minutes," Jared tried to tell Kerr but it seemed that he
wasn't listening to him.
Kerr paced back and forth in front of the operating room impatiently. The wait was excruciating. It was
the first time that Kerr had felt so anxious in all his life. He had always handled things without losing
composure. He was always calm and collected. But now, all of that composure flew out the window and
he was just an anxious mess.
The phone that he held tightly in his hand suddenly rang, which startled him slightly. He looked at the
caller ID then pressed the answer button.
"I can't contact my mommy. Is she with you?"
It was Jay. His voice sounded shaky but the concern in his childish voice was evident.
He must have been really worried about Nicole, or else he wouldn't have taken the initiative to call Kerr
out of the blue like that.
"Yes, she is in the hospital. I'll ask Jared to come and pick you up, okay?"
Kerr didn't want to lie to Jay. It was the first time that he'd received a call from the boy ever since he
moved out of the Gu's villa.
He knew that Jay didn't think highly of him at that moment because of the misunderstanding. Jay was a
clever boy, however, he was still just a child. There were many things that he still wouldn't be able to
comprehend so easily.
"Go and pick up Jay,"
Kerr ordered Jared in a calm tone.
