Kisa was slightly stunned. "An agreement?""He had been hurting you deeply. I can help you take revenge on him if you stay alive. What do you think?""You—"Kisa was shocked. She remembered that as Gilbert's brother, Jensen was always very protective of him. 'Jensen once threatened me with a warning when he thought I had other motives toward Gilbert. Why would he help me get revenge on Gilbert now? What exactly happened? Was something else going on when he went abroad a few years ago?' Kisa thought. Jensen walked toward her and pat her head dearly. "Then it's a deal. If you survive this, I'll help you avenge yourself." 'Jensen's smile is so warm that he could melt people's hearts. I would be the luckiest woman on earth if only Gilbert could treat me the way Jensen does. But it's all just a dream. Gilbert would never smile wholeheartedly at me. He has given his warmth to every other woman than me,' Kisa wondered to herself. Jensen quietly walked out of the room after Kisa had f
Kelvin could hear Sharon's cries when he arrived at the front room door. He furrowed his eyebrows in disgust, turned his back, and was ready to leave. Carolyn quickly grabbed him and said, "You can't leave. You must treat Sharon's face today no matter what!" Kelvin had always hated people who were full of themselves. He snorted, "What can you do to me if I refuse to treat her? Let me get this straight. I'm only here because of Gilbert. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here." "Why you—" "Kelvin…"Just as Carolyn was about to lose her temper, Sharon came out running. Kelvin was shocked to see her face. "You looked like a ghost!"His words triggered Sharon to bawl. "My face! Arghhh! My face is ruined. How am I supposed to go out now? Waaaaaah! My face..."Kelvin thought that he might get deaf from her high-pitched cries. He felt pity looking at her crying miserably. They were childhood friends after all. For old times' sake, he informs, "I know a really good plastic surge
"Look, she'll only have this peaceful smile when Jensen is with her. She has always been close with Jensen, maybe they're the only ones who understand each other."Kelvin's unintentional remarks made Gilbert's face darken. He sneered soon after, "So what? She'll always be my woman." Kelvin was shocked. "Didn't you sign the divorce papers?"Gilbert remained silent, he fixed his eyes on Kisa, then he turned around and left. She has no desire to see him, so he will not appear in front of her. Kelvin sighed staring at his backside and walked into the courtyard. The smile on Kisa's face was long gone after spotting him. Kelvin snickers, "It can't be, am I unwelcome here?" "Don't be ridiculous, Kelvin. Please, have a seat."Jensen pull up a chair for Kelvin, and his sight landed on his medical kit. "Are you here for Kisa's medical condition?"Kelvin nodded. He no longer had his usual cheerful nature, and his word solemn. "Until now I didn't have confidence that I could handle Kisa'
Kisa frowned looking in the direction exactly when Sharon was supporting Madalyn at the door. The scars on Sharon's face had formed scabs. She was wearing a mask but the scars could still be seen. It was rather terrifying to look at, as it was like a centipede on her face.Madalyn was looking a lot better than before. But the affection toward Kisa on her face could never be found again. Kisa has mixed feelings facing Madalyn again, she was even ill at ease in her presence. Kisa could be mean to Sharon, but she could never say anything harsh to Madalyn. Besides her mother, this was the only person who was nice to her. Kisa stood up and greeted Madalyn. "What brings you here grandma? Have you had your breakfast?" The unfamiliar and formal tone was in sharp contrast to the fondness long ago. Kisa felt heartbroken upon the change. "Hmph. Keep quiet, you have no right to call me grandma," Madalyn had the same old hatred toward Kisa. Kisa subconsciously clutched the table corner.
Kisa clenched her fists and felt her whole body tense up.Meanwhile, Madalyn stood unmoved with her cane. She looked at Kisa with a hateful expression and bellowed, "Since you want to know so badly, I'll let you know! It's because you're Emilia Becker's daughter! Your mother was a shameless tramp!""No! My mother wasn't like that!" Kisa retorted loudly.Kisa was overcome with emotions and started trembling uncontrollably.She continued, "My mother was the best person in the world. You said so yourself! You said my mother was a good person and that you liked me because I looked like her. You...""That's because I misjudged her! I was blind; I got fooled by the innocent and harmless facade that your mother had put on. Your mother was a wench that seduced every single man she saw!"Kisa shook her head in disbelief, "No... That's not true! My mother wasn't like that!""She was!" Madalyn drew closer to Kisa.She continued with disgust, "Back then, she didn't know her place despite
"What did you all do to her?" the person roared.Sharon was roughly shoved to the ground.She hastily got up and saw Gilbert holding Kisa while glaring at her with bloodshot eyes."No... It... It wasn't me! I didn't do anything to her. It was Mrs. Kooper Sr...""Hmm?" Madalyn promptly glared at her icily.Sharon instantly clammed up. She did not dare to say another word."I won't forgive you if anything happens to her!" Gilbert spat icily.Then, he rushed out with Kisa in his arms."It wasn't me! I really didn't do anything to her. Gilbert! Gilbert!" Sharon shouted hurriedly behind him.She did not even notice her face mask fall off.Madalyn glanced at her disgustedly and walked out of the room.Sharon quickly grabbed her arm and cried out, "Mrs. Kooper Sr., why didn't you explain the situation just now? Why did you let Gilbert get the wrong idea? I don't care if that woman dies, but what if Gilbert blames me for her death?" She began wailing desperately.Madalyn scoffed, "
The sound of things being hurled could be heard from the room.Gilbert paled and rushed into the room.Medical products were scattered about the room.Meanwhile, Kelvin was anxiously stopping Kisa from ripping the IV off her arm, "Have you gone mad? Do you not want to live anymore?""You're right. I don't want to live anymore," Kisa laughed maniacally.She turned to Gilbert with bloodshot eyes."Who is he to let me die when he wants me to die and let me live when he wants me to? Who is he to do so?""Why are you being so stubborn when you're in this state?" Kelvin asked.Then, he turned to Gilbert helplessly and continued, "Say something."Gilbert peered at Kisa through bloodshot eyes. His entire body was tense.Moments later, he trudged to her. He radiated a suffocating aura.Then, he sat by Kisa's bed and gripped her shoulders."You're asking who I am? Alright, I'll tell you. You owe me. You owe me so so much, and you haven't paid any of it back yet. You have no right to
Gracie turned to Kelvin in shock.Kelvin pursed his lips and turned to Kisa sadly, "Kisa, don't be like that. It's true that Gilbert did all that, but he...""You'll be willing to accept his treatment as long as I get down on my knees and beg you?" Gilbert gazed at Kisa deeply.His expression was so earnest Kisa could not stop her heart from skipping a beat.'He's really going to get on his knees and beg me? No! That's not possible! How could someone as insufferable and arrogant as him be down on his knees to beg me? What's more, he despises me! He must be playing a lovesick puppy to gain my trust! Once Kelvin has treated me, he'll definitely exact his revenge on me tenfold. That must be it! That must certainly be it!' thought Kisa."Alright. I'll kneel down and beg you, as long as you can live on healthily. I'll even trade my life for it."This was Gilbert's first time facing his true feelings and saying how he truly felt about her.Ironically, and sadly, Kisa did not believe a
