Kisa was already weak to begin with, so the impact of Madalyn's slap made her fall right onto her pillow.Kisa felt her head spin. All she could hear was the echo of Madalyn's words, "Your existence was a mistake. That's why you owe my grandson everything."'Hah... Why is everyone saying that I owe Gilbert? Gilbert himself said so, Mrs. Kooper Sr. said so, and even my late mother said something similar. Somebody tell me what exactly it is that I owe him. If it's my life, I can return it to him now. Did they have to bully, hurt, and push me over the edge?' thought Kisa."Kisa?!" Kelvin called out worriedly when he saw her remain still.Gilbert's stared as Kisa's figure lay motionlessly on the pillow. He felt himself drowning in a surge of fear. He reached out to touch her with a trembling hand.However, Kisa started giggling all of a sudden. It sounded cold, sorrowful, sardonic, and was mingled with a hint of... eeriness.Sharon hid behind Madalyn a little fearfully, "Kisa's g
His laughter filled with mockery and ruthlessness, "Grandma, you assumed that I saved her because I liked her?"Gilbert's words made every one pause. Instead, Kisa chuckled sarcastically as her heart filled up with bleakness, " It must be so. His deep affectionate expression and his confessions were all fake."That is true; Gilbert used to hate her all along. It wouldn't be possible for him to suddenly fall in love with her. Thankfully, she didn't believe him at all. Thankfully... but why did her heart hurt so much?Kisa endured the pulsing pain in her heart and forced a smile onto her face while staring quietly at Gilbert. She stared at his emotionless eyes and pitiless smile."She did a lot of evil things and devised a plan to ruin my entire life. She then kidnaps Sara and hurts grandma. Having sinned so much, how would I possibly save her?""She is always full of lies, promiscuous, with a heart as vicious as a viper. This kind of woman only disgusts me further, and you all thin
Gilbert's eyes narrowed, and the hands in his pockets tightened.He casually looked at Kisa," Why are you still standing there? Save her. Do you really want to showcase your fantastic doctor abilities only after she runs out of breath?""Oh!" Kelvin snaps back to reality and hurriedly checks up on Kisa but is shoved away violently.Kisa's eyes were red as if stained by blood. She lay down on the side of the bed and stared daggers at each and every one of them.As she opened her mouth to speak, bright red blood started to flow out of her mouth non-stop. "You want to keep me alive just to suffer humiliation from you people. In your dreams!"" Oh no, Kisa. You have done so many sinful and evil acts. Now that Mrs. Kooper Sr. and Gilbert allow you to continue to live on is already a great act of charity. Don't take it for granted.""Charity?" Kisa's lips replied coldly," I don't care for this type of charity!" Finishing her sentence, she struggled to crawl out of bed.However, as her
" I've just left for only one day and you lot have already started harassing her. It seems a little disrespectful to me.""Jensen..." Madalyn quickly turned around. When she saw Jensen, her elderly eyes turned red.Jensen greeted her coldly, " Long time no see, Mrs. Kooper Sr."All familiarity and respect for her had been gone. There was only apathy and estrangement.Madalyn felt a sharp pain in her heart, but her face contorted in rage," Who allowed you to come back. Did we not make a deal that you were never to come back to this country on your own accord?""Then grandma, would you rather I died of old age in a foreign country without anyone to care for me?" He rebuked."I..." Madalyn was at a loss for words.Jensen walked past her and sat at the edge of the bed. He smiled lightly at Gilbert and said," If I had known earlier that you hated Kisa, I would have taken her overseas from the start.""Sadly, there are no ifs and buts in life."Gilbert let go of Kisa while she strug
"Stop talking. You should stop talking now," Jensen was flustered and could only cover her mouth in panic. His hands could not stop the blood from flowing out of her mouth.Kisa grabbed his hand and quickly spoke, " After I die, you... you shouldn't tell GIlbert where my burial ground is. I... In death..., I still won't want to see him.""Kisa! Kisa!" Jensen was alarmed and quickly got into the car with Kisa in his arms."Don't leave me. You must never leave me... Kisa... Kisa!" Gilbert roared as he sat up.He quickly scanned the room and then, without missing a beat, rushed out of bed and out of the house. Gracie quickly held onto him," Gilbert, you just woke up. Where are you going to?""Where is Kisa? I just found her, where is she? Where is she!" Madalyn furiously blocked his path, " She's dead. That wench is dead!""Impossible!" Gilbert bellowed with a red gleam in his eyes," It's impossible she's dead. She won't die so quickly. I must find her. She must be with Jensen. I h
Seeing the two kids despise her so much made Madalyn feel very uncomfortable.Sharon seeing this, tried to add oil to the flame," When Kisa stayed here, who knows what of ideas she tried to instill in them to make them side with her. They constantly disobey GIlbert and now even hate their great grandma, you. This is terrifying. It would have been disastrous if both kids had stayed with Kisa for much longer.""Hmph!" Madalyn struck her cane once onto the floor, " That wench has been gone for so long, she'd be better off dead. Even if she wasn't dead, I would never let her come one step closer to my great-grandkids again.""Sigh, sometimes, you must admit that Kisa had been a disturbance all along. Just as she disappeared, she took Gilbert's heart with her too. Judging by the days that passed, Gilbert hadn't been back home for a long time. Such a pity for the kids." Just as Sharon continued to speak, Madalyn shook from the rage being built in her.She replied coldly, "That wench bett
Was she in heaven? Or in hell? As she slowly lifted her arm, she could feel it being sore and weak. People used to say that people do not have any sense after they are dead. So, in this case, should she still be alive? The gentle sunlight shone through her fingers, giving it a radiant glow. All of a sudden, she realized that her hands looked nicer now. It looked white and slender. It was not the skinny and claw-like fingers anymore. Then, she lifted the other hand and noticed that it had also become prettier. Enduring the soreness of her body, she pushed herself to sit up. Next to the drawer was a full-length mirror. She got out of bed slowly and walked to the mirror barefooted. The floor was covered with a light gray rug. As she stepped on the rug, she felt like she was walking on clouds because of its softness. When she finally reached the mirror, she looked up. She looked shocked. The lady in the mirror was no longer the skinny and ugly version of her.
Kisa looked at herself in the mirror for a long while. The more she looked, the more she felt unfamiliar to this version of herself. It was only when Jensen and Kelvin stood right in front of her that she felt real. After all, she was used to seeing the skinny version of herself for the past five years. She felt strange to see her looking chubby. It felt like a dream to her. "Kisa, you're awake!" Kelvin was about to cry happy tears. Now that she's awake, he could finally return home and reunite with Gracie. "Y-you saved me?" Kisa asked in a daze. She recalled a memory and pushed Kelvin away. "Was it Gilbert who asked you to save me? I don't need your help. I'm not your charity. Get out! Get out!" It was obvious that she remembered what had happened that day. Jensen quickly hugged her. "No, it was I who asked him to save you. Do it for me, just stay alive for me. Can you do that?" Then only did Kisa calm down. Since she had just woken up, her mind was still a
