The hot water washed over the body and rinsed away the fatigue. Feeling comfortable, Kisa stood under the showerhead for a long time before turning off the water heater. Wrapping a towel around her, she went to the dressing mirror and picked up the hair dryer hanging on the wall to blow-dry her hair. Her hair was so thick and long that it took a while to dry. Turning off the hair dryer, she tightened the towel around her body, opened the bathroom door, and walked outside.The house was quiet, perfect for sleeping. She yawned, picked up her phone, and leisurely headed to her room. Once inside, she first went to draw the blackout curtains. Once she drew the curtains, the room instantly turned dark. She turned around and fumbled to turn on the light beside the headboard. The light that was turned on shimmered in a soft, warm yellow light. She went to the closet, unwrapped the bath towel, and then searched through the cupboard for a robe. Suddenly, she heard the faint sound of someone bre
'He's crazy,' Kisa thought. 'He's getting angry for no reason.'"Tell me, what did you and Jensen do last night?" Gilbert gritted his teeth and asked, his voice getting deeper."We didn't do anything. What are you getting so mad for?" Kisa replied, confused."You guys didn't do anything? Hah," Gilbert sneered. Didn't you pick him up at the airport? Didn't you guys grab some food, watch a movie, and... have sex?""You were stalking me?" Gilbert's last two words did not register in Kisa's head. All she could think about was that this man had followed her the night before. She was disgusted. "Are you crazy? Why did you stalk me?""Why would you care if you guys really didn't have sex?"Kisa laughed. "Sex? Is that what's all in that dirty mind of yours?""Shut up!" Gilbert was trembling in anger, his hand almost breaking Kisa's wrist. Kisa was in so much pain that she wanted to scream. She bit her lower lip and stared at the man in front of her. "Whether you believe it or not, we di
Kisa lowered her gaze and realized it was Jensen calling. 'He may be calling about the guy who saved my life,' she thought. She then unconsciously pushed Gilbert away and knelt to pick up her phone. However, when she was about to answer the call, he snatched the phone off the ground."Give me back my phone," Kisa said as she tried to get it back.Gilbert looked at the caller ID and mocked, "Look at yourself. Why are you so on edge about his call if there's really nothing going on between you two?""No... It's because..." Kisa shut her mouth immediately after that. 'I cannot let him know about this. After all. I don't know who started the fire yet, and he's still a potential suspect. If he were the one behind all this, he would definitely cause trouble for the person who saved my life.'"What? Why did you stop?" Gilbert's expression became colder when he saw that Kisa had stopped talking."I'll explain everything to you later. Just give me back my phone first.""Haha!" Gilbert let
Gilbert turned the tap on and washed his face with some cold water. He pressed his hands onto the sink as he looked into the mirror. He had a self-deprecating smile as a pair of bloodshot eyes stared back at him. 'What have I become? All this for a woman?' He felt a sort of sick satisfaction with what he had done to Kisa earlier, but he also deeply regretted his actions at the same time. 'I told myself I would never touch that woman like that again, but what did I just do?'Gilbert's temples throbbed. He hit the sink irritably, adding a new wound to his already injured knuckles. Water was still dripping from his messy hair. He stared at the mirror for a long time before walking out of the bathroom.Suddenly, the bathroom door slammed open. A fruit knife flew toward Gilbert at the speed of light. He did not dodge. Instead, he just watched the woman try to stab him with hatred plastered across her face. It seemed like he was betting with himself that she would not actually be heartless
Jensen was smoking a cigarette. There were many cigarette butts near his feet. Gilbert glanced at him and chuckled, "Did you hear everything?""You *sshole!" Jensen hit Gilbert in the jaw after he said that, but Gilbert did not dodge. He took the punch and fell to the ground, battered. Jensen then threw the cigarette away, rushed over, and grabbed Gilbert by the collar. "How could you treat her like that? There's really nothing going on between us!" said Jensen as he went for two more punches."Do you love her?"Jensen was silent. He stared at Gilbert fiercely and thought, 'This is the first time I've laid a hand on you. If you weren't my brother, I would kill you right here and now.'Seeing that he was not answering, Gilbert laughed. There was a hint of sadness behind his laughter. "You have my blessing, okay?"Jensen frowned. "What do you mean?" he asked."You have my blessing. You and her... I wish... I wish you a happy life together..." A huge smile was plastered on Gilbert's
"What happened, Jensen? How did Gilbert get hurt?" Sharon asked, but Jensen kept quiet.Sharon got angry and impatient, "Well? Say something. How did he get hurt?""I-I accidentally stabbed him.""There's no way it was you," Madalyn looked at him with her clouded eyes and said. "You would never do anything to hurt Gilbert, let alone take his life."Madalyn's trust in Jensen formed a lump in his throat. He felt a little sad and self-deprecating. Then, he snickered, turned his gaze out the window, and remained silent."It must be that woman. Kisa's the one who stabbed Gilbert, right?" Sharon rolled her eyes and said angrily. Jensen did not reply, which then made Sharon even more sure of her suspicion. "That woman is vicious. She messed with GK Pictures, and now she's trying to take Gilbert's life? I'll call her now and ask her why she did that. I'll call the police and have her arrested. This is murder we're talking about!" Sharon said as she took out her phone to call Kisa.Howeve
Madalyn hurriedly rose to her feet to meet him. Due to her impatient movements in addition to her older age, Madalyn almost fell from her stumbling footsteps. Fortunately, Jensen quickly held onto her.Madalyn anxiously asked the doctor, " How is my grandson?""The patient's wounds are deep, and the new wound is right on the position of the old injuries with major blood loss. Thankfully, we were able to save him in time. He won't be in any life-threatening danger, but his body will be frail. He would need to recuperate for a while. "Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Madalyn almost fainted from all the panic.After hearing the final half of the statement, she finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Jensen's strained nerves also slowly relaxed. Gilbert was immediately pushed out of the sick ward. His face was pale as paper and seemed to have no hint of vigor.Madalyn sat at the side of the sick bed, caressing the back of Gilbert's hand repeatedly. Her aging eyes were filled
He woke up, and Kelvin was the first thing that caught his eye. Kelvin had both his hands in his pockets while leaning by the window.Seeing him awake, Kelvin could not help but mock him, "Can't you take care of your body properly and let me have some fun out there for a few days?"Gilbert stared at the ceiling emotionlessly, without making a sound.If it wasn't for both his eyes that were opened wide, no one would have known he was awake."I heard your injuries were caused by Kisa stabbing you again?" Kelvin asked.Gilbert still did not make a sound.Kelvin exclaimed with a sigh and raised his feet to walk toward him."That woman and these injuries are truly destined for each other. I wonder if she would stab you at the same place for the third time.""She wouldn't." He finally spoke. His voice was so gravelly that his ears would hurt.Kelvin quickly poured a cup of water for him. Yet when water was passed in front of him, he turned his head without a hint of gratefulness. Ke
