My CEO Daddy

The nurse took her time to explain with details what the injection consisted of and how Nicole would feel afterwards. Although it was unusual that a nurse took plenty of time to clarify a procedure to a patient, the medical assistance had to be impeccable since she noticed how much Kerr cared about Nicole.

She listened carefully to the nurse, but she was hesitant. "I appreciate what you're doing nurse, but I still think that I don't need the injection. I feel fine."

She raised her hands in frustration and avoided the eye contact with the nurse.

Kerr had meticulously watched every move and facial gestures of Nicole as he was standing by her side. He could easily tell that she was quite terrified of the injection.

"You're not a big fan of injections, are you?"

Her face instantly turned red after hearing what he had said.

She had always hated when needles were too close to her skin. It was a natural reaction of her to reject any injection of any kind. However, she felt that she needed to demonstrate that there was no fear towards the injection though she didn't want it.

Within her ordinary medical knowledge that she had learned over the years by reading articles, she tried her very best to convince them that injections had more negative than positive aspects.

"Injections are worth nothing. They just weaken your body and do no good for your health at all. I refuse to have it."

Unfortunately, her arguments were useless.

The nurse behaved calm and patient towards Nicole with a friendly smile on her face the whole time.

"You need to stay steady, Miss Ning. The doctors here will make sure that no negative side effects arise and put your health in danger."

The doctors knew that Nicole had to be treated in the best and most professional way possible since Kerr brought her. Even though the hospital was under the control of the Gu family, he would hardly ever show up there unless it was for an important occasion.

Kerr moved from the position where he was and held Nicole's hand to relieve her.

"I won't leave you until this is over. You don't have to be afraid."

And suddenly, he grabbed her left wrist strongly so the nurse could locate the vein to inject the dose. He even put a pillow in front of her to cover her eyes. "No! This can't be happening without my permission! It's my body!"

She felt quite desperate as she tried to escape, but Kerr never let go of her wrist. Her strength was no match against his.

She randomly turned her head around and encountered with Kerr's face which was enlarged in front of hers. His thin dry lips were too close to her bright red blooming lips. Nicole didn't think about it twice and moved her head right away.

This awkward episode distracted her attention to what was happening, and the nurse could finally find the vein to administrate the injection.

Kerr took a deep breath and released a sigh of relief.

But in a matter of seconds, his face darkened like the sun getting eclipsed by the moon as he noticed the way Nicole was avoiding him.

He could sense that she was unpleasant with his actions.

His confidence was so high that he was convinced he could get any woman that he wanted. But Nicole Ning was out of the common; a desire of possession would arouse like a candle being lit inside of Kerr, whenever she was around him. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

As soon as the nurse realized that the atmosphere between them was heated up as she observed their awkward facial expressions, she thought that it was the perfect moment to leave.

"We're done for today, Miss Ning. I wish you a rapid recovery." The nurse packed her stuff, took off and rushed her way out of the room.

As Nicole watched the nurse departing, she turned around to Kerr and looked straight at his eyes. "Why don't you just give up on me? Look around you, there are plenty of women. Stop wasting your time on me, please."

Nicole also had experience in the relationship field. It wasn't because of her enthusiasm though; Gregory's devotion played a big role in the relation.

However, she possessed the wisdom enough to tell when a man had truly fallen in love with someone or not.

For now, all she cared about was her son Jay. Even if she could decipher Kerr's intentions and feelings towards her, she would still not play along and would reject him.

He started to feel a bit angry as he noticed that she was determined to keep her decision. "Are you really concerned about other women surrounding me? Or is it that you want to be my only love?" The story would take a complete turn of events if she actually cared that other women would be devoted to him.

Kerr stood still in

front of her as he kept holding her hand.

"I don't think I have the luck to be your only love."

She softly got rid of Kerr's hand and kept her sight straight at him without moving a muscle.

She needed to let him know that her determination was as real as it seemed. Nevertheless, a sentiment of guilt was eating her from inside whenever she looked into his eyes.

She wasn't sure if the guilt was there because of Jay or herself.

Before either of them would talk to the other, a knock interrupted the intense scene.

Nicole adjusted her sitting posture so they could be separated from each other. But Kerr insisted to stick around her and placed himself by her side. "Come in, please."

It didn't matter how hard she tried to get away from him; he would always do everything that was possible to be as close as he could be to her. They looked like a couple.

"I apologize if I interrupted. Your breakfast is ready, Mr. Gu."

Jared placed the tray with the food on the table that was next to Nicole and he could sense a strange ambience in the room as if the air was thick.

Kerr took a bowl of congee and stirred it with the spoon.

Since Jared wasn't leaving yet, Kerr took the chance to ask him about any news as he raised his head.

"Thank you so much, Jared. Is there anything else that you should notify me with?"

Jared instantly replied as if he was waiting for him to say that, "Well Mr. Gu, you'll have a meeting with the staff of the QY Group this morning. You stated that it was crucial to discuss the details of our cooperation."

Sometimes, Kerr would think to himself that he was fated to be the head of a company such as the Gu Group. However, being in the top of the pyramid as a CEO would deprive him of some liberties like holidays.

Therefore, Kerr had to maintain a consistency in taking upon tasks that labeled higher levels of responsibility than other tasks.

"Call the QY Group's assistant. Tell him that the meeting shall be postponed."

Although the partnership between the Gu Group and the QY Group was a very important matter to be attended and beneficial to Kerr, he decided to stay with Nicole.

Jared knew Kerr enough to try to propose something against his word, so he didn't ask any more questions. "Alright Mr. Gu. I'll notify them immediately."

And all of a sudden, he heard Nicole's voice as he was turning around to leave and do what Kerr asked.

"Wait! Don't leave yet, Mr. Kang."

She turned her sight to Kerr.

"The staff of Gu Group has been working really hard to have the arrangement prepared. You shouldn't postpone it just like that. Thus, to consolidate this partnership is a matter to take care of right now because it'll be profitable for the Gu Group to explore the European market. And I also heard that the representatives of the QY Group already arrived in A City yesterday. It'd be quite disrespectful from you to have them wasted their time, Mr. Gu."

She didn't want him to delay this important meeting for the company just because of her. "I suggest you go ahead with this arrangement and don't miss this opportunity to grow. I'll be fine."

Kerr's disposition to postpone something so crucial would've made Nicole feel way guiltier and probably change her view on him.

At this point, she was confused and didn't know whether Kerr was this considerate to every woman, or only to her.

"I have been in this road before. Trust me, this turn of events won't affect the partnership."

He had always been a reasonable person since he was a child.

Happiness lacked during his childhood since he was always destined to be the true heir of the Gu Group. This reality to Kerr made him grow more mature and become wiser than others.

He had an ease to deal with all the pros and cons that every of his decisions to get what he wanted would bring.

Jared didn't waste more time and followed up Kerr's final decision.

He scooped up a spoonful of congee and handed it directly to Nicole's mouth, beckoning her to eat it as if she was in a vegetative state.

"What are you doing? Don't do that, I can do it myself."

She reached out her hand to take the spoonful of congee from his hand as she heard his rigid voice.

He jokingly said to her as she tried to take the spoon. "Hey! You shouldn’t move too much. You don't want another dose, do you?"

He looked at the needle on the back of her hand. Even though Nicole didn't say a word, he guessed that she might faint at the sight of injections too. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so scared of having injections.

When she heard his words, she pulled her hand back and instinctively gave him a wary look.
