Gilbert sat slumped against the headboard of the bed, while Kisa lay beside him. A heavy sense of gloom surrounded him, and his eyes were half-closed. Kisa stared at him, her eyes wide open, fixated on his chiseled jawline.Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Gilbert spoke. "Did you wish for me to be hit by a car just now?"Kisa blinked, then shook her head. "No, of course not."Gilbert's lips twisted into a cold smirk. "Really? You may not want me dead, but you certainly don't seem to care if I suffer."Kisa sat up and reached for his wounded arm. "You are bleeding badly. Let me help you.""Get away from me," Gilbert snapped, his arm flailing.Kisa was thrown off the bed and landed hard on the floor, her stomach hurting from the impact. She looked up at Gilbert, hurt and confused."Don't play dumb with me," Gilbert said, his eyes filled with anger. "I may be worried about this child, but I'm not stupid."Kisa said nothing but turned her back to him and lay down on the

"Give it a try," Adrien said.Kisa pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. But inside, she was thrilled. Finally, she would not have to put on an act of indifference toward Gilbert in front of Adrien anymore.Meanwhile, in the study, Gilbert sat in front of the surveillance monitor, lips curled in a contemptuous sneer. He tilted his head back and took a long swig of the wine, his cold, crimson eyes narrowing in disdain. 'Feigning concern for me? She is a born actress, and her charade is executed with precision. If I hasn't installed the surveillance, I would have been fooled again. Why does she enjoy manipulating people so much? Which of her words are even genuine?'Later that evening, Kisa sat in her room, her dinner served on a tray by the diligent servant. She asked about Gilbert, but the servant reported that he was in the study, and his dinner had been brought to him. Kisa had considered seeing and talking to him, but her fear of his wrath held her back.

Blake could not help but feel a twinge of sadness as he watched his siblings snuggle up to Kisa and call her "Mommy". He longed to do the same, but he was too afraid of what might happen if he acknowledged his biological parents. His godparents had warned him that it could put everyone in danger, and while he did not understand why, he did not want to take any chances.But then Ada tugged on his hand and beamed up at him. "Blake, you can call her Mommy too! We're all Mommy's good children."Blake looked at Kisa.Kisa nodded in agreement. "Yes, Blake. You can call me Mommy if you want to."For a moment, Blake hesitated, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. But then he shook his head. "Ma'am is enough for me."Kisa thought he was missing his biological mother, and without pressing him further, she reached out and gently ran her hand over his hair."Blake, we all care about you. You can talk to us about anything that is bothering you."Andrew put his arm around Blake's shoulder,

However, her struggling and retching only made Gilbert narrow his eyes with a cold gaze. He suddenly pushed her away and shouted at her, "If you're disgusted by me, why bother pretending to care about me? Why bother trying to please me? Get out, just get out!"He was clearly drunk and seemed to have forgotten about the baby in her womb. His push was powerful, and the bathroom floor was slippery. Kisa stumbled several steps but managed to grab onto the nearby sink to prevent herself from falling. She looked at Gilbert in horror, only to see him standing there with one hand on his hip, the other against the wall, exuding a terrifying aura. His arm was still bleeding, and the injured flesh had turned white from being soaked in water, a gruesome sight to behold.Despite everything, Kisa was still concerned about his well-being. She took a deep breath and cautiously approached him. From behind, she wrapped her arms around him, holding him carefully and tentatively. Gilbert did not push he

'If the car accident from yesterday was indeed Adrien's doing, then it had to have been a twisted test of Gilbert's love for me. But why bring Christopher into the mix? Christopher is his enemy, someone far harder to control than someone on his own team. If the only purpose was to test Gilbert, Adrien could have easily commanded one of his own people to do it.''So, why Christopher? Could it be that Adrien had a more personal score to settle with Christopher, and testing Gilbert was just a side show? It seems this is just the beginning of Adrien's nefarious schemes. It was clear that he had ulterior motives when he first approached Carolyn. And now, he has the whole of The Case Group in the palm of his hand. Everything seems like it's part of Adrien's sick revenge plot against Christopher. But what could Christopher have done to Adrien to warrant such an elaborate, over-the-top retaliation?'Kisa was deep in thought.In the afternoon, Kisa was heading to the detention center, escort

"I came here just to ask you, why did you suddenly have the intention to kill me?" Kisa dared not mention Adrien. She was afraid that Christopher would tell Adrien, and then Adrien would know that she was suspecting him. All the disguise and deceit she had done so far would be in vain.Christopher did not answer. He hung his head low, as if thinking."I know you hate me, but now you have nothing. You can't beat me. We have no grievances or enmity, and I don't want to make things difficult for you. I'll give you some money. Tomorrow, leave here by boat and don't interfere with Carolyn and my life anymore. Also, it's best not to mention me in front of Kisa. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of your darling Sharon." Adrien's words echoed in his ears.Adrien had spoken in a low and friendly tone, but Christopher was not a fool. He understood the subtle warning clearly.His attempt to kill Kisa had just been a momentary impulse of anger. He resented her for being ungrateful and te

Kisa was feeling nervous as she waited for her first prenatal examination. Memories of her previous pregnancy flooded her mind, but they were not pleasant. Gilbert, her partner at the time, had been unsupportive and uncaring. She had no idea what to do, so she spent most of her time resting at home and never bothered to go for a checkup. She did not even know if she was carrying one or two babies.As she sat in the waiting room, Kisa watched the other pregnant women with their husbands and felt envious. She wished Gilbert were there with her too. Finally, it was her turn for the ultrasound, and she handed the report to the doctor. To her relief, the doctor said her baby was developing very well.She mentioned that she occasionally experienced pain in her belly. The doctor advised her to avoid strenuous exercise and to rest more. Kisa could not help but think of Gilbert's crazy behavior the night before and shuddered. She was grateful that the baby was okay.Kisa looked carefully at

Kisa stared at Madalyn in disbelief. "You used to like me too. I just can't wrap my head around why you're treating me like this."Madalyn sneered, "If you can't figure it out, then don't bother trying. Just remember to stay away from my grandson and stop causing him any more trouble.""I don't understand what I've done wrong."Madalyn's face darkened. "You have no right to know. Just be smart and have the child, then get out of here!" With that, she stormed into the house, leaving Kisa standing alone in the yard.After settling Adrien's affairs, Kisa realized she still had to find a way to break down Madalyn's walls. 'But what is Madalyn hiding? And why is she so guarded about the past?'Gilbert was truly heartless. He had not shown his face to her for a whole week. Madalyn blamed Kisa for driving him away, so Kisa kept things to herself, staying in her room and avoiding any unnecessary confrontation.Christopher's fate hung in the balance as he remained locked up in the detenti
