Chapter 288 The Baby Is Innocent
Chapter 288 The Baby Is Innocent
Lily drove forward and looked at Nicole in the rear-view mirror. She pitied Nicole from the depths of her heart.
Lily's phone suddenly rang. She looked at it to see who was calling, and answered. "I'm on my way now," Lily said calmly, before Moore could ask her.
"You idiot! Kerr's men are following you. I don't care what you need to do, but get rid of them." Then he hung up the phone.
Lily's heart skipped a beat when she saw a black car following her from the rearview mirror.
"Lily, who were you chatting with on the phone just now?" Nicole had noticed something amiss in Lily's tone. After Lily put down her phone, she was obviously in a panic.
The pressure was so intense that Lily was about to freak out. She furrowed her eyebrows. "Nicole, please call the guys behind us right now. Don't let them follow us."
In the crisis of the moment, Lily had no idea what else to say or do. She was in a panic.
When Nicole turned around, she saw Kim‘s car. "Stop the car, Lily!" Nicole suddenly realized that something was wrong, and that she had to protect her baby.
Lily was obviously behaving weirdly.
But Lily didn't slow down. She shook her head and said, "Please tell them to stop! I have no choice left. Please forgive me for this." Lily pleaded in tears.
"Trust me Nicole, I don't want to, but I have no choice. Please make them stop as soon as possible."
Nicole tried to keep calm. "Lily, tell me, what happened? It's Moore, isn’t it? Trust me, there's nothing in the world that can't be solved.
I will ask Kerr to help you. I will never let Moore hurt you again. Stop the car now." Nicole tried her best to persuade Lily, but Lily was unable to calm herself down in her panic. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"I didn't do anything wrong, why must I endure this?" Tears filled Lily's eyes. Her grip on the steering wheel became unsteady, and the car started shaking.
Nicole grabbed the hand-grip to steady her body. She didn't want her belly to be hurt by the jolting of the car.
"Lily, calm down please. Don't panic. Wherever you want to go, I'll come with you. Take it easy and don't worry," Nicole comforted Lily.
It was Jared's car. She was confident that Kerr would come to her swiftly when he found that something was amiss.
Lily sniffed and tried to calm herself down. She handed her phone to Nicole. "Call the man behind us and tell them to leave."
Nicole called Kim as Lily told her to do. "Kim, pull over. Don't ask questions now. When Kerr asks you, you tell him that it was my order." Nicole hung up the phone without waiting for a response.
She knew that Kim would not miss her hint.
As she expected, when she put down the phone, Kim‘s car stopped.
Lily was finally relieved. Her face was covered with tears. "Thank you, Nicole. You gave me so much help in the past. But it was also because of you that I fell into such a terrible situation.
You owe me. Please believe me. I had no other choice. If something happens, please don't blame me," Lily said, wracked with guilt.
Nicole smiled. "I know that it was my fault that you got entangled in this. I hope that this time I can get you out of trouble completely."
She knew she had no right to blame Lily, but she also knew that she couldn't treat Lily as a friend anymore after that day.
"Lily, you know what? The baby in my belly will come into the world less than a month from now. It's a living baby, with his little hands and feet, moving in my belly now.
I've passed many dangers since this baby came into my life, but I survived all of them with determination and the child is still with me. I won't let anything bad happen to him."
Nicole looked at Lily earnestly, trying to assure her that she was sincere. Children were innocent and shouldn’t bear the consequences of adults' wrongdoing.
Lily was a little stunned. She turned her head away and looked at Nicole next to her. She stepped on the brakes instinctively and the car came to a stop. Lily's face was covered with tears.
"You are right. Your baby is innocent." Lily leaned back against the seat and cried away in silence.
"Lily, I'm sorry for the position you're in. But trust me, I will help you to get Moore off your back." Nicole couldn't figure everything out immediately. She just held Lily's hand and promised to make Kerr solve the problem.
No matter what it would take.
In the CEO Office of the Gu Group
After he got Kim's call, Kerr traced the direction of Jared's car and drove off. He pressed the accelerator hard and sped after the car with grim determination on his face.
A few moments later, he saw Jared's car. But a split second later, Kerr saw a red Ferrari speeding directly to Jared‘s car.
"Nicole!" Kerr called out for Nicole.
Bang! The noise of a terrible crash rang in Kerr's ears. He stopped his own car and ran towards the wreckage. The other two cars were a mangled mess and Kerr couldn't see Nicole.
"Nicole! Where are you!" Kerr called her, but there was no sound.
Kim arrived on the spot too and he was dumbfounded by the scene. It was only ten minutes after Nicole hung up the phone.
The smell of gasoline reached Kim's nose as he walked beside Kerr. He lowered his head and saw the liquid flowing out of the car, and he knew right away that they were in danger.
"Master, let's get out of here right now. The car is about to explode." Kim stepped forward and urged Kerr.
But Kerr paid no attention to him. He struggled desperately to open the twisted door in order to rescue Nicole from the car.
Kerr couldn't believe that Nicole had had an accident in front of him.
Pushing Kim away, Kerr was desperate to find Nicole.
"I'm sorry, Master," Kim said to Kerr. Kim grabbed his boss from behind and pulled his struggling body away from the deadly car.
"Kerr!" Harley had just arrived on the scene. Upon hearing the news, he had rushed to the site. But as he came closer to Kerr and Kim, he heard a loud bang! He instinctively bowed and fled back to a safe distance.
His arm was raised to shield his eyes, but he still saw the flames of the explosion.
