Gilbert was nervous. He subconsciously held Kisa in his arms and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling alright?" The man hurriedly picked her up and carefully put her in the car. His eyes showed deep concern. "I'll take you to the hospital right now, okay?"After saying that, Gilbert backed away, preparing to go around the car and into the driver's seat. Suddenly, Kisa grabbed the hem of his clothes. She looked up and stared at Gilbert bewilderedly as she let out a self-deprecating and sad laugh, "I guess I've been wrong all these years."Gilbert frowned fiercely. "What do you mean?"Kisa did not say anything further. Instead, she just lowered her head and started crying and laughing simultaneously. Gilbert was worried for a moment. "Did Lea say something? Did she try to harm you again?" he asked.Kisa shook her head. "She didn't harm me this time. Actually... she helped me. She let me in on a lot of things, and she even told me...""She told me that you loved me very much," she s
"Where were you?" The man asked in a gloomy voice. His handsome face was stained with ruthlessness like a demon. Lea used to fear him, even while being in love with him. But at that moment, Lea was not afraid. Maybe it was because she had made up her mind, but she was no longer afraid of anything.She met the man's dark gaze and laughed lightly, "Nowhere. I just told Kisa about all the bad things I did."Anthony narrowed his eyes coldly, "What does that mean?""It means... I ruined your plans with Mr. Tanner. How does it feel? Are you mad?"Anthony stared at Lea deeply. He suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was different. Before this, Lea has always been humble and flattering toward him. But now, all he saw was provocation and despair in her eyes. His heart tightened inexplicably when he noticed it.With a single force, he pulled the woman over to the bed, and her slender figure almost fell. "Well, aren't you getting gutsy?" he said in a dark manner.Lea stared at him c
"Haven't you always wanted to bear my child? Here, I'll give you another one."An unspeakable sadness appeared in Lea's heart when she thought about that child. Tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes. "That's no longer possible.""How could it be impossible? I'll do it right now!" Anthony began to move his hips again after saying that.Lea stared silently at the face that was only a few inches away from her. From his eyebrows to his chin, Lea looked at Anthony carefully, as if she wanted to remember what he looked like.The man was sound asleep next to her late that night. Lea opened her eyes and stared at the dim ceiling for a long time before quietly getting up. She stood by the bed, looking at the blurry figure with no expression on her face.It was unclear whether the man was having a dream, but he suddenly said, "Why are you so pathetic?!"Lea raised the corners of her lips mockingly.'Turns out that I'm still pathetic even in his dreams. It's fine. From now on, I
Kisa shook her head vigorously, hoping it was just a false alarm and that the dream was just the aftermath of what she was thinking earlier in the day. She called Lea's number three times in a row, but each time it was sent to voicemail. It was clear that her phone was switched off.Kisa began to worry. "What should we do? What if something bad happens to Lea?" Kisa asked, her voice sounding like she was about to cry."Don't worry. It's late; she's probably asleep," Gilbert said in a deep voice, but Kisa could not calm down. The dream was too real. She then dialed Anthony's number. 'He must've met up with Lea since he got out from the Mullen ancestral hall,' she thought.Kisa called Anthony, but he did not answer. He only picked up the second time she called. "What the hell do you want in the middle of the night?!" he said with displeasure and hostility from being woken up."Where's Lea? Tell me. Where is she?""Lea?" Anthony began to regain some sense and subconsciously looked be
Gilbert wanted to comfort Kisa, but he did not know what to say. Her hands were cold even after he held them tightly. Kisa's face was pale. She looked at the picture of Lea on the tombstone in silence. Her face looked so calm that it was scary.Gilbert was afraid that she would collapse at any moment, so he held onto her tightly the whole time they were there. It was not until evening that the two left the cemetery.Kisa could hardly walk. Gilbert helped her get into the car, and she stared out the window blankly. Her face looked as white as a ghost.Gilbert tightened his grip around her hand and said in a low voice, "Try to get some rest if you're tired. Don't overthink it."Kisa listened and obediently closed her eyes. Gilbert took off his coat and put it over her before he started the car.The two stayed at Felicity's for a few days as Kisa was not in a good mood. Ever since Lea's funeral was over, Kisa hardly ever went out of the house. She shut herself in her room all day and
Tears fell uncontrollably from Kisa's eyes as she looked at the bowl of spicy ramen in front of her. She remembered that Lea also suffered from morning sickness not long ago and could not eat anything except ramen.'It hasn't been that long, but she and her child are now...' Kisa could not help but feel overwhelmed once more when she thought about it.Gilbert's heart tightened when he saw her suddenly crying. "What's wrong? Is your tummy okay? I'll try to find more food if you can't eat this." The man was about to take the bowl of ramen away when Kisa grabbed his hands to stop him. "I'm fine. It's just some pregnancy mood swings," she said with a smile."I've heard people say that pregnant people are very emotionally fragile. It's okay. You'll be fine after you have the baby," Felicity said with partial understanding, to which Kisa nodded with a smile.Kisa was overwhelmed with emotions when she saw the array of food and how concerned Gilbert and Felicity were. When she was pregnan
It was Anthony. He was dressed in black, and his face was cold and solemn. His thin lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a touch of daunting coldness. Kisa was unsure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Anthony had lost some weight.Anthony knelt and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of her grave. He stood up and stared at Lea's photo in silence, without saying a word. Kisa did not understand what he was trying to do. In her eyes, Lea took her own life because of that man. She did not know why he was there after so many days."I remember telling you not to be so cruel to her, otherwise, you'd drive her to her death, but you didn't believe me," Kisa stood up and uttered coldly.Antony's gaze slowly turned to her. There were no emotions on the man's face; only a sense of melancholy lingered over him.Suddenly, he violently grabbed Kisa by the neck. Startled, Kisa backed away quickly and fell in front of Lea's grave.Anthony held her neck up against Lea's tombsto
"What happened? Who did this to you?" Gilbert asked as he hurriedly checked the red mark on Kisa's neck to see if the damage was severe.Kisa grabbed his hand and smiled, "I'm fine. Don't worry.""How can I be worried?" There was a serious expression on Gilbert's face. He looked at the tombstones in the cemetery and suddenly said ruefully, "Everyone has only one life. Thank god...""Yeah?" Kisa looked at him and asked."Thank god that you're still alive and well by my side. Otherwise... I wouldn't know what to do."Kisa hugged him after hearing that. She snuggled into the man's arms and murmured, "Yeah... Thank god."'Fortunately, I was not as deep in despair back then as Lea was, and I was still able to come out of it.' Kisa felt sad and regretful when she thought of Lea and Anthony, but there was nothing she could do anymore. The living could only let time heal their pain and grief.That afternoon, Kisa and Gilbert went back to the Mullen residence. They still stayed in the sa
