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
Kelvin had goosebumps all over his skin. He rubbed his arms as he came up to Kisa, frowning at her. "What's wrong with you again? It is dark, and the courtyard is already eerie enough. You scared the hell out of me by shouting like that.""No. I just saw what looked like a glimpse of a person under this lamppost."It scared the daylights out of Kelvin. "Stop scaring me. How could there be anyone here?" Kelvin said, glancing around.Besides the two of them, there was no one around. They had come from Vivian's place, which was a bit far from the main building. There were many winding paths leading to various corners of the courtyard in between these two places. The spot they were at now was the most remote, most eerie, and most tree-lined section of the path.But Kisa was sure she had really gotten a glimpse of someone under the streetlight and that someone must be hiding in the wood. Thinking about the eerie, malicious eyes that she felt every time previously, a thought came to her
Gilbert had been working in the room. The computer was on in front of him, with some documents next to it. When they came in, he was writing on a piece of paper. After hearing what Kelvin said, he put down the pen in his hand and looked at Kisa, seemingly checking to see if she was injured.Kisa deliberately let her hair down and her bangs just covered the bruise, which arose because Vivian had hit her with a teacup.Gilbert glanced over her and looked at Kelvin. "Why did you say that?""Your woman was being paranoid all day, saying that she saw a shadow under the streetlight at night and someone was hiding behind trees. It's creeping me out. I'm not going to walk with her at night anymore. I'm afraid she would scare me to death instead of other things."Hearing Kelvin grumbling and seeing his resentment, Gilbert said to him light-heartedly, "You should really work on your guts. Even Gracie has more guts than you."Kisa covered her mouth and giggled.Kelvin glared at her. "I have
Kisa snapped back and met Gilbert's anxious eyes.Gilbert tapped the bump on her forehead with his finger, his face serious. "What happened?"Kisa took down his hand, covered the bump with her hair, and mumbled, "I ran into the wall by accident."He could tell at first glance that Kisa was not telling the truth. Thinking about Kelvin's hesitant look just now, it was not difficult to guess that the bump on her forehead was caused by her quarrel with Vivian. Since she did not want to talk about it, he would not push her."Keep your eyes on the road next time.""Mmm-hmm." Kisa nodded vigorously.Gilbert suddenly leaned back and narrowed his eyes at her. He felt Kisa had changed a lot these days, more submissive, more well-behaved, and gentler. He wondered if it was because of her pregnancy. If he had known it, he would have told her about the baby earlier. Gilbert subconsciously tightened his arms around her."Let me hug you a little longer."He rested his head against her forehea
Kisa tilted her head and put on a smile. "I'm serious. I'm also serious about what I'm saying to you."Seeing her giggling and nonchalance, Gilbert was so mad that he gritted his teeth. He rarely confessed his feelings, but when he did and admitted to her the mistakes he had made back then, she looked like she couldn't care less. So he got angry, feeling that his expression had gone to waste. But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the harder Kisa laughed. Annoyed, he pushed her down.A thought came to Kisa's mind. leveraging on the force, Kisa took several steps back and fell on her buttocks on the floor. She put her hand to her belly and looked at him with resentment. "Are you trying to murder your own child?"Gilbert panicked and immediately got up to crouch in front of her. "Are you okay?" He looked panic-stricken and had a hard time putting his words together. "I-I didn't mean to push you. I-I didn't use a lot of force. I was angry but I-I just pushed you g
"Think carefully. After coming to the Mullen residence and eating there yesterday, what else have you eaten?"'What else have I eaten?' Kisa carefully recalled the scene yesterday afternoon. A long while later, something flashed through her mind, and she instantly became excited."It's tea." Kisa grabbed Gilbert's arm. "It's the tea I took at Vivian's place. Come to think of it, when I was at the Mullen residence, I visited Vivian almost every day and drank the tea in her place every time.""Vivian?" Gilbert slowly narrowed his eyes, and his dangerous aura rose.Kisa shook her head. "I'm not too sure yet, because Kelvin also drank the tea, and I haven't seen him experience the same thing as me. Tell you what, I'll go and verify it today."Gilbert looked at her for a long while and asked, "Do you need my help?""No, it might arouse suspicion if you go. I have a feeling that if the problem really lies in the tea at Vivian's place, it may not be Vivian who wants to harm me. Anyway,
'Could it be that Mr. Mullen Sr. has also made his move?' Kisa subconsciously looked toward Anthony's room on the second floor, where she saw a tall figure standing silently in front of the see-through floor-to-ceiling window. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants, like a ghostly demon roaming the earth. 'He really loved Lea, didn't he? But he loved her the wrong way and caused irreparable regret and sadness.'As Kisa was thinking, Gilbert suddenly brought over a bowl of soup."Drink it. It's a stew I made with my own hands. It has a strong taste, but I guess you can drink it."Kisa looked at him in bewilderment. "Didn't I just finish my breakfast?""Eat some more. You're losing weight. I'm worried that my baby will be underweight when it is born," Gilbert said, and used his hands to make an exaggerated gesture.Kisa rolled her eyes at him, but still finished the soup. It tasted a little strange, sour, and spicy, but quite appetizing. She also ate two chunks of chicken meat
