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
Carrie did not seem to notice how Mr. Mullen Sr. and Jane's faces changed after listening to what she said. She then continued talking with disdain plastered across her face."What I'm saying is that that woman is dumb. She was already sleeping with Anthony. Why didn't she make use of it to marry into the family? I mean, Aunty Jane became a part of the Mullen family because of the child she bore. That woman could have done the same. I don't get why she didn't just ask Aunty Jane for advice. Why would she kill herself just like that? Oh, I forgot..."Carrie was disdainful and proud. She seemed to have remembered something and sneered, "I forgot your friend was actually pregnant with Anthony's child, but Ms. Reyes outplayed her. Tsk, tsk. She was merely a plaything that could be replaced easily. No wonder she killed herself!"Slam!As soon as Carrie finished speaking, Mr. Mullen Sr. slammed the table unbearably. "You're quite the chatterbox, eh? If you don't want to eat, then get out
After dinner, Kisa and Kelvin went to visit Vivian. As soon as they entered the yard, Kisa saw her sitting in her wheelchair, trying to lift her legs. She was able to move them slightly, but not all the way.Vivian seemed a little frustrated that she could not lift her legs. Her face was full of anxiety and annoyance."There's no need to rush, Ms. Mullen. Dr. Hoover said that you're doing great, so don't worry. Take your time," Kisa chuckled as she walked over.When Vivian saw her, a smile instantly appeared on her face. "I haven't seen you in a long time. Please, sit," she said. She then ordered the servants to pour them some tea.Vivian's complexion had improved a lot. The depressed look on her face was also gone. Kisa was happy for her. She helped Vivian with the blanket on her lap and said in a low voice, "We're entering winter soon; you have to stay warm. Keep up the good work, and I'm sure you'll be able to stand up in no time."Vivian nodded, looking at her with gratitude.
Vivian was shivering, possibly traumatized. Kisa, regretting her own hastiness, was afraid that Vivian would break down and go crazy again like she did before. She knew she should have asked the questions only after Vivian's leg had completely healed, but she just could not wait any longer.Adrien had been at the Mullen residence, seemingly watching her and Gilbert's every move all the time, and the person who used psychotropic drugs on her had yet to be identified. Feeling that danger still lingered everywhere in the Mullen residence, she wanted to find out about David and get out of there as soon as possible.Vivian was shaking all over, her hand gripping the handrail, her knuckles turning white from using too much force.Kisa stared at her anxiously. As she thought of changing the subject, Vivian suddenly asked her, "What is your mother's name?"Hesitating for a few seconds, she then said, "Emilia Becker."Vivian's face turned pale instantly. That made Kisa wonder why and what
