The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 98

"Hi Jay, I have what you want!"

Ken walked into the room with the latest laptop in his hand. He put on a mysterious look, trying to surprise the little boy.

Hearing the sound coming from the door, Avery and Jay turned to look towards the sudden addition to the room, and saw Ken's big smile.

"Uncle Ken."

Jay greeted Ken politely, but there was no sign of amazement in his eyes. He didn't show much interest in the computer in Ken's hand.

What he wanted was his computer, built with his own system. How could an ordinary computer compare with it?

"Godmother, this is Uncle Ken. Uncle Ken, this is my godmother, Avery. Isn't she pretty?"

Jay looked at Ken with a smirk.

"Hello."

Ken looked at Avery and nodded with a smile. Then he walked towards Jay.

In fact, he had heard about Avery from Kerr. In the past, he knew he would've been attracted to a beautiful girl like her. But now, he was well aware that no matter what kind of beauty he would meet, no other woman would compare to Bonnie. No one else could attract his attention anymore.

Ken shook his head, snapping him out of his thoughts from the lady who captured his heart.

Seeing Ken in white casual clothes, Avery could see that he looked extremely well-put. The smile on his face made him look like a kind gentleman.

His stature exuded an aura that he was more popular than any playboy.

"Here you go, look at the computer I brought for you."

As if he was presenting a treasure, Ken opened the computer in front of Jay. He took the computer with him as Kerr asked him to, and he didn't dare to frustrate the man. After all, if it weren't for this task, Kerr wouldn't have cared about him.

Now, he had pinned all his hope on Jay.

Jay looked at the computer in his hand. He just operated a few steps and hid his real computer skills in front of Ken.

"I like it very much. Thank you, Uncle Ken."

Jay thanked Ken with a nod, but his thoughts were way past the show of gratitude.

The computer system was the same as Kerr's, the one he had hacked into before. Needless to say, he knew it was a gift sent by Kerr. Did he want to please him? He wouldn't be bribed by Kerr just for a measly laptop.

"That's great to hear!"

Hearing this, Ken was finally relieved. He realized someone was missing in the room and looked up at Avery sitting next to him.

"Oh yeah. Where's Nicole? Why isn't she here?"

It was not until she heard Ken's question that she came back to her senses. Embarrassed, Avery looked away and put the bowl on the table nearby.

"Nicole is too tired these days. I asked her to sleep in the next ward."

Avery's tone was a little awkward. It was a guilty conscience that she had never felt before.

Ken noticed that Jay's attention was glued on the computer. He gave a hint to Avery with his eyes. They walked out of the ward one after the other.

When the door of the ward finally closed, Jay shifted his gaze from his computer and sighed in discontent.

"Another spy, alas."

Although Kerr didn't show up these days, it didn't escape Jay's attention that it seemed that everyone who showed up here had been sent by the man. It seemed that Kerr wasn't going to give up on Nicole.

His mind drifted off as he looked at his laptop.

Outside the ward

Ken and Avery walked to the end of the corridor.

"Kerr asked me to thank you for taking care of Jay these days. He said that he knew what to do, and is asking for you to help him with the following things."

Ken looked at Avery sincerely.

After hearing Ken's words, Avery shook her head slightly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. Even without his request, I'm willing to take care of Jay wholeheartedly. He is my godson, after all. Hasn't Mr. Gu solved the problem yet? I'm afraid that Nicole will continuously be disappointed if things go on like this."

Avery didn't know about Jay's accident until she received a phone call from Kerr that day. His sincere words moved her.

She helped Kerr not because he was a powerful man, but because she knew that Kerr was Jay's biological father and he was special to Nicole.

She just hoped that Nicole could really find her own happiness.

"He's solving the problem, but it will take some time. Before he manages to solve it, we need to rely on each other to stall Nicole."

Ken knew how embarrassing Kerr's condition was, so he was also worried about him. But he didn't notice a beautiful woman not far away, who held a sad look in her eyes.

"Achoo!"

Avery sneezed.

By instinct, Ken took off his coat and put it on her.

"The temperature of air conditioner in the hospital is rather cool. You have to take care of yourself."

Bonnie saw the interaction between Ken and Avery. She turned around to leave with a heavy heart.

Nicole woke up from her rest and walked out of the ward, coincidentally spotting Bonnie leaving.

"Bonnie?"

she called softly.

Hearing the voice of her sister, Bonnie stopped and turned around to hide her disappointment.

"Hey Nicole, I came here to visit you and Jay."

Ken turned around and found that Bonnie was looking at him with a dejected look on her face. He was surprised and walked to her at once.

"Why don't you let me pick you up?"

He reached out and tried to hold Bonnie's shoulder, but she took a step aside and avoided him.

"I dare not to trouble you, Mr. Qin. You are busy. I shouldn't bother you."

With a straight face, Bonnie ignored Ken and walked into Jay's ward.

"Aunt Bonnie!"

Jay looked at Bonnie with excitement evident on his face.

"Hey Jay! Let me check if you are feeling better!"

Bonnie walked towards her nephew.

Looking at how Bonnie avoided him, Ken felt helpless. It seemed that she was jealous again.

With a faint smile, Nicole pulled Avery into the ward.

Seeing the laptop on Jay's lap, Bonnie couldn't help but question, "Who brought you the computer? Doesn't that person know you need rest to recuperate?"

There was a hint of blame in her words.

"Why can't he play on the computer while he is recuperating?"

Ken could feel the anger from Bonnie, but he was confused about it, so he didn't want to give in.

Watching the two people quarrel fiercely, both Nicole and Avery felt helpless, so they sat on the sofa to watch the drama. Not long after, Bonnie and Ken left the ward one after the other.

Finally, the room was quiet.

"Alas, the world of adults is so complicated!"
