MY CEO DADDY

"Mr. Gu, do you mean to give Sea Heart Island to Director Ning?"

Surprised, Jared stared at Kerr.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Kerr did not think there was anything wrong about gifting Nicole with Sea Heart Island. Only four people in the world knew about that place. It was the best way to safeguard Nicole and Jay.

"Of course not, Mr. Gu. My apologies. I'm going to fetch the documents now."

Jared was about to turn around and leave when his phone rang. Seeing Ken's number on the screen, Jared immediately handed the phone to Kerr.

"Mr. Gu, it's Mr. Qin."

Kerr reached for the phone and pressed the answer key.

"Kerr, we have a bit more complicated situation. The trapped workers have not been rescued, and there is little hope for survival. Worse, I don't know who has informed the media.

Reporters have swarmed the scene. I've sent someone to stop them, but there's still information pouring out. Pay attention to the outside world. It's better to intercept any more news before it hits the media."

Ken sat in his car and looked at the messy crowd. The usual playful look in his eyes was gone and replaced with faint worry. The right that Kerr handed over to him was not in the name of the Gu Group.

This had nothing to do with the Gu Group, but somebody told the media that it was Kerr who was behind all this. Ken had no idea who informed the media, and now they were tearing Kerr apart because of the incident.

"Be careful there. I'll handle everything here. And take care of our workers."

Kerr kept himself calm and collected. After telling Ken what to do, he hung up.

He handed the phone back to Jared, walked to the end of the corridor, and opened the window.

There was a hint of moisture in the air. The sum

ve pushed Kerr away, but she was not able to move.

Kerr smiled, finding Nicole's little humiliation a tad adorable. His angular face was now full of tenderness.

Nicole would never forget that smile. Years later, when she leaned against Kerr to watch the sunset, she would still remember that smile.

"Wait for me."

After saying that, Kerr turned around and left the ward.

After Jared put the spare kit in the car and was about to sit in the driver's seat, he saw Kerr walk out of the hospital.

"Jared."

Kerr stopped him.

"You stay here and tend to Nicole, but remember not to let anyone from my family get close to her and Jay. I'll try to return before dawn. Call Harley if there's anything you need. There may be no signal on my phone when I go to the mountains."

Kerr had all his bases covered.

"A storm's coming, Mr. Gu. It's too dangerous for you to go to the mountains alone. I've already asked Kim Gu and his men to escort you. It's best if you wait for them before you go."

Jared persuaded Kerr for if something happened to Kerr, they would be in deep trouble.

Kerr checked the time on his watch, his eyes gloomy. Kim Gu could take long.
