Because of Kerr's immature behavior, Nicole felt very annoyed and angry.
After all, Jay was still a child. How could Kerr even think about competing with a child for her attention?
That was why at that very moment, Nicole bit Kerr's lower lip and forced him to release her.
Kerr instinctively pulled away from the pain and looked at Nicole with reproachful eyes. Nicole rolled
her eyes at him and ignored him, turning her attention to Jay, who was still standing by the door. "Don't
talk nonsense, my dear. Plus, have I not taught you how to respect?" At first, she hadn't noticed the
way Jay had addressed Kerr, since she was engrossed with the kiss.
Now that the scenes during the kiss was unfolding in her mind, she realized that it was inappropriate
and even disrespectful.
Then, Jay walked towards Nicole and gave Kerr a glare before pointing at him accusingly. "But, he is
bullying Mommy!" He crossed his arms on his chest and stuck by Nicole's side as if trying to protect
her.
Nicole shook her head and rested her forehead on the palm of her hand. She closed her eyes and
heaved a sigh as she thought. If Kerr hadn't continued to "bully" her, then Jay would not be causing a fit
right now. Then again, there really wasn't anything wrong about what Kerr did. It was just a kiss
between a couple, so now she wondered if she could really blame Kerr for it.
"Well, young man, I did not bully your mother. How can you disrespect your father like that?" Helping
Nicole tuck her in her sheets, Kerr spoke in an indifferent tone without looking at Jay.
Upon hearing what Kerr had said, Jay's eyes widened in surprise. Before he could ask Kerr anything
more, Kerr's phone rang. Kerr then excused himself to pick up the call and walked out of the ward.
As soon as Kerr was out, Nicole reached for Jay's hand and held it gently. "Jay, Kerr is right. He is your
father. Do you remember what I told you?" Nicole asked. She did not want to educate or reprimand Jay
in front of Kerr.
However, what Jay did and said was indeed going beyond out of line, so Nicole did not have a choice
but to do so.
"Be polite and respect your elders," Jay responded in a low voice. He lowered his head to show Nicole
that he understood, but deep down, he still didn't think that he was in the wrong.
He was just protecting his mommy, and although Kerr was his father, he wasn't an exception and could
not let him bully his mommy like that.
"My dear, I know that you didn't mean it, so I won't blame you. Don't take this deeply, okay? Also, don't
forget that I love you very much, and I am so proud of you for being such a good boy," Nicole said to
comfort Jay. Then, she pulled Jay to a warm hug.
She gently patted Jay's hair as she realized that ever since she got together with Kerr, she had been
spending less and less time with Jay even to the point of neglect, which made her feel a little guilty.
"I know, Mommy," Jay replied happily. As soon as they pulled away, Jay gave Nicole a huge smile and
then reached his hand out to touch Nicole's belly.
"Hello, little sister. It's me, Jay, your big brother. Be a good girl, okay? Don't be scared by the old man,
because I will be here for you and Mommy always," Jay said as he caressed the belly gently. He
moved his ear closer to the belly and tried to comfort the baby with words, thinking that the baby might
have been scared with the old man.
Nicole could not help but feel helpless and exhausted but deep down she was very happy to see this
scene in front of her, and so a smile forced its way out of her face.
Meanwhile, as soon as Kerr was outside the ward, he accepted the call after seeing Jared's name on
the screen.
He held his phone by his ear and listened on Jared's report. "Mr. Gu, I have already searched every
possible place where Sunny could be, but I still haven't found her. Also, it seems like Daniel is looking
for her as well."
Waiting for Kerr's reply, Jared wondered and did not understand why Sunny chose to disappear. After
all, the wedding would have been a great opportunity to strike back at Kerr.
Kerr sighed at this report and said with conviction, "Find her as soon as possible." Even though Jared
still could not put the pieces together in place, Kerr, on the other hand, knew what was going on in
Sunny's mind. She was in hiding, because she wanted to keep the baby.
As a matter of fact, Kerr did not really care about the baby in Sunny's belly. All he cared about was
getting that DNA test ready and receive the result, so that he could have enough evidence that the
baby wasn't his and reassure Nicole.
Hearing Kerr's reply, Jared affirmed and knew what he meant.
After hanging up on Jared, Kerr turned around to go back to the ward when he saw Baron, standing in
front of him. Kerr gave him a serious glance, and as he looked at him even longer, he found that he
looked exhausted, looking almost like a zombie especially with dried blood stains on his clothes.
"Why are you here in the ward area? Is Nicole here?" Baron asked with concern. When he saw Harley
in the emergency room just moments ago, he had assumed that something was wrong with someone
related to Kerr. Now, seeing a healthy Kerr standing in front of him, he was certain that Nicole was also
admitted in the hospital.
He was worried a while ago, and being sure that it was Nicole, he was even more worried now.
Kerr eyed Baron seriously before replyin,g "She's pregnant, so she's taking a rest and needs a medical
aid." Truth be told, Kerr did not want to get involved with Baron anymore, but seeing the sincere
concern in Baron's eyes, he could not help but answer his question.
Then, Kerr started to walk back to the ward and stopped beside Baron to say, "Mr. Fang, Nicole is not
any of your business, so rest assured that she is already in good hands. As for you, you should take
better care of your wife." Deep inside, Kerr did not want anyone else to worry about her, especially then
that Baron had feelings for her.
Kerr then walked away.
Baron's eyes dimmed at the thought of something bad happening to Nicole, but from the calm look on
Kerr's face just now gave him some relief that Nicole was indeed all right.
"Well, I'm glad to hear she's fine." After all, if something bad happened to Nicole because of Maggie,
then he would certainly feel guilty for the rest of his life.
However, Kerr wasn't far enough yet, so he heard what Baron had murmured to himself, which aroused
Kerr's suspicion. He stopped walking and turned around to face Baron again. "What did you say? What
do you mean by that? How did you know that something had happened to Nicole?"
Kerr was not someone you could easily fool. Moreover, no one told Baron about the incident happened
to Nicole, but it was obvious that Baron was very worried and concerned about Nicole.
Baron swallowed a bile on his throat and did not dare face Kerr. He ignored him and started to walk
back to the emergency room.
If Kerr found out that it was Maggie who had endangered Nicole, then Kerr would no doubt teach
Maggie a lesson. This would bring trouble to the Fang family and would greatly affect him, so he chose
that it was best to ignore him and leave.
As soon as he returned to the emergency room, the doctor came out and walked towards him. "Mr.
Fang, I am deeply sorry to say this. We have done all that we could, but the baby could not be saved.
As for Mrs. Maggie Fang, her back was badly hurt by the impact of the glass fragments.
It's very likely that there will be scars left. Fortunately, she is stable now, but she has yet to wake up as
soon as the anesthesia comes off. Rest assured, we are monitoring her and giving her the best aid she
could get." The doctor briefly explained to Baron what happened to Maggie and what they were
monitoring her for. Then, the doctor told Baron that if he had any questions, he could ask the nurse in
charge. After that, the doctor instructed the nurse to send Maggie to her ward.
Hearing what the doctor said, Baron could not help but show the sadness on his face. Even though he
had already prepared himself after seeing Maggie lying unconscious on a pool of blood, he still could
not help but feel despair. On the other hand, maybe this was fate's way of saying that they should not
have any connection between each other in that way. That this was for the best.
A few hours later, Baron had finally washed off the blood stains on his arms and changed to fresh
clothes offered to him by the hospital. He was now sitting on a chair beside the bed, waiting for Maggie
to wake up. At that moment, Maggie slowly fluttered her eyes open and grimaced in pain as she tried to
sit up. Baron stopped her and told her to just stay still. Maggie flinched as she felt the sharp pain on her
belly and was then immediately reminded of what had transpired that day. She then reached her hand
out to touch her belly and then looked at Baron with wide eyes in panic.
"The baby! Where is our baby? Baron, tell me! How is our baby?" Maggie could not help but shout in
panic as tears fell down the corners of her eyes at the thought of the worst.
Baron held Maggie's both hands and shushed her, trying to calm her down, but having felt nothing on
her stomach made Maggie continue to panic and shout for her baby. Baron could not calm her down,
so he raised his voice and said, "The baby is gone, Maggie!" This made Maggie stop screaming and
stare at Baron, waiting for the words she knew she would hear especially now that she lost the
connection that tied them together. Baron let go of her hands and sat down. "The baby did not make it.
Perhaps, this was the universe telling us that it was a mistake for us to be together. I know that I
shouldn't be saying this right now, but now that the baby is gone, our relationship has no future
anymore. We should break up."
Baron knew it was not the right time to tell her the truth and that he was being insensitive since Maggie
just lost the baby. However, if he told her sooner, then it would be a relief for the both of them.
Even though Maggie expected to hear these words, she still could not help but feel stabbed in the heart
twice. However, she did not want to sound weak, so she restrained her tears from falling, and with a
calm voice, she replied, "All right. I will divorce you as soon as I am discharged." Then, she turned to
the other side to make Baron face her back as she tried to hide her sorrow and resentment from him.
Deep down, with all these mixed emotions inside of her, there was one thing that Maggie was certain
of. She would definitely never let her child die for no reason.
She bit her lower lip and clenched her fists tight, letting her nails dig deeper into her flesh. She felt a
wound appearing on her lower palm, but she was numb and did not feel any pain as if this was just
small compared to what she had just been through.
As for Baron, he looked at Maggie in surprise. He was frozen in place as he did not expect that Maggie
would agree to it that easy. He opened his mouth but realized that he didn't know what else to say.
Before he could figure it out, Maggie said,
"You should go back home. I want to take a rest." Her voice was calm and composed as it used to be
as if she did not lose a child at all and as if she wasn't about to lose the love of her life as well.
Baron looked at her back and hesitated for a while before he decided to stand up and leave the ward
without another word.
After hearing the door shut behind her, Maggie could not help it anymore and buried herself on her
blanket and started to burst into tears that she was bottling up ever since she woke up.
Baron sighed as he leaned his back behind the door. Hearing her muffled sobs, he could not help but
feel bad and at the same time feel guilty about it. Then again, he was decided that this was for the
best.
