My CEO Daddy by ELAINE MALLIN

Ken couldn't help but shiver at the thought of the face of the daughter from the Wen family. His father who was on the other end of the line, however, still wasn't done trying to persuade Ken.

"Stop it, Father. If you really think the Qin Group and the Wen Group should be connected by marriage, I wouldn't mind if you married someone else and gave me a stepmother. Mother isn't here anymore anyway."

Every time Ken was at a loss for words to refute his father, he would always resort to mentioning his deceased mother. He knew that even though her mother had been dead for many years, she was still his father's number one weakness.

As expected, his father hung up the phone at once.

With a satisfied smirk on his face, Ken sighed and walked out.

In the ward, Jay looked at his mother with a surprised look on his face as she was put on a drip.

"Mommy, how did you get rid of the fear of injection?"

He still could remember the day when his mom had a fever like it was just yesterday. He couldn't understand why she was in a coma, so he asked Baron for some help. However, when he arrived at the hospital, his mother still refused the injection.

"Because Mommy is as strong as Jay now."

Nicole chose not to answer his question directly. She glanced guiltily at Kerr only to find that he was looking at her with a serious look on his face.

When she felt quite sure that Kerr was not going to expose her, she was subconsciously relieved.

She couldn't believe that she was so used to observing Kerr's change of facial expressions. It was not a good habit, and not one she could to get used to.

Still sitting on the sofa, Kerr flipped through the files that had been brought over by Jared from the company. His lips curved into a slight smile when he heard something Nicole said.

Inside the ward, Nicole and Jay were happily chatting with each other. And as Kerr observed the two of them, he felt a sense of security that he had never felt before. For the first time, he saw, with his own eyes, the simple joys that ordinary people experienced.

Then, all of a sudden, the ringing of a phone cut off their conversation.
