"I will take Andrew and Ada back to the Kooper residence in a couple of days," Gilbert said.Kisa froze for a long while before saying in a faint voice, "Okay." The two children should have gone back to the Kooper residence a long time ago. But remembering all the time she had spent with them together, she still felt sad at the thought of them leaving. She took a few breaths and inched outside, holding back the pain in her feet.Gilbert looked at her slow and clumsy movement and was irritated. He took a drag and said coldly, "Why are you walking so slowly? Is it because you don't feel like leaving?"Kisa was agitated. But she still bit her lip and tried to walk faster. Her foot was almost kaput, but she just gritted her teeth and endured it, refraining from making a sound.Gilbert felt even more upset and looked away from her when Kisa picked up her pace. Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of braking in the courtyard. He squinted and looked out. The Sandy Bay was a place where no o
"Keep an eye on her, don't let her get drunk in front of me."Kisa's eyes were downcast, her hand clenched tightly. She was awash with embarrassment and unknown emotions, feeling suffocated. Had she been a bit sober last night, she would never, ever have bothered Gilbert.Jensen glanced at her, feeling conflicted. He then looked back at Gilbert with a light smile. "Sure."The car drove away. Gilbert stared expressionlessly at it until it disappeared from sight, then he ruthlessly stubbed out his cigarette and turned around to enter the house.Inside the car, Jensen grasped the steering wheel with one hand and tugged at his tie with the other. Kisa looked at him sideways. He was pursing his lips and looked tired. She also noticed that he was still wearing yesterday's clothes and suddenly remembered Mia's car accident. She straightened up and asked, "Is Miss Fallon okay?""She is fine. She just hurt her leg."Kisa was relieved to hear this, and her straight back softened again, lea
Jensen turned to look out the window. Feeling depressed and wanting to say something, but good sense told him not to. In the end, he said nothing and started the car again. "Let me take you to the hospital."Kisa nodded, clutching the seat belt in her hand, not making a sound. She still hoped that Gilbert was not behind the fire, for no other reason than because of Andrew and Ada, whom she genuinely loved even though they were not her children. She did not want to go to the point where she and Gilbert were killing each other, as that would be too devastating to the two children.When she arrived at the hospital, Jensen did not take her to see Mia. Instead, he brought her to the surgery clinic to look at her ankle. The surgeon was an older doctor. He gently squeezed Kisa's red and swollen ankle and shook his head.Jensen instantly frowned and asked in a grave voice, "How is it? Is it serious?""Serious is an understatement. If she doesn't take care of it from now on, I'm afraid she
The doctor massaged Kisa's ankle with his unique technique, and Kisa almost cried out in pain.Jensen looked on, anxious. He wanted to ask the doctor to be gentler, but was afraid that it would be ineffective. Kisa was sweating from the pain as if she had gone through a torture."The fluid in your ankle has to be pushed out of your ankle. When the swelling subsides, I will have to see if your bones are also injured," the doctor said, turning around to dispense the prescription.Jensen took a tissue to wipe the sweat from Kisa's forehead. "Are you okay?" Jensen sounded anxious.Kisa nodded. "I'm still holding up."Jensen stroked her head, feeling sorry for her. "You must be more careful next time. Don't be so restless."Kisa looked nonplussed. 'He thought I was as restless as a child, so I fell?' Just as she was about to say something, a teasing half laugh came from the doorway."I thought you were here to see me. It turns out that you hurt your foot, too. Mia was leaning against
"Kisa," Mia suddenly called out to Kisa.Kisa subconsciously looked up at her. "What is it?""There really are so many coincidences in this world," Mia said. Kisa looked at her, not knowing what she meant by that. Mia continued. "Look, I broke my leg in a car accident, and then you sprained your ankle. Who do you think Jensen should take care of?"'She seems to have misunderstood me, thinking I sprained my ankle on purpose so that Jensen could take care of me.' Kisa looked at Mia with a serious face and tried to explain. "I didn't sprain my ankle on purpose. I was drunk last night and accidentally fell off a boulder."Jensen finally could no longer stand it and looked at Mia. "That is enough."Mia smiled and leaned back, her face still gorgeous even in the hospital ward. She smiled gently, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I almost died yesterday. You have never been gentle with me like you have been with her." 'I can't stand it anymore. I had thought that I would feel content
Just as Davian wanted to curse, it shocked him to see the person in the wheelchair. 'M-Mrs. Kooper?' He looked at the person in the wheelchair for a long time, and after he was sure that it was indeed Kisa, he hurriedly said to Gilbert, "Mr. Kooper, look. I can't believe that it is Mrs. Kooper. Why is she in a wheelchair?"The sudden stop of the car did not make Gilbert look up. Only after hearing Davian finish speaking did he raise his eyes and glance at the front of the vehicle. He was expressionless as he saw the woman in the wheelchair as if she were a stranger.Davian took a cautious look at Gilbert and could not help but ask, "Mr. Kooper, wasn't Ms. Becker with you last night? What is going on here? Why is she in a wheelchair?""What? You suspect I broke her leg?" Gilbert grunted coldly.Davian quickly shook his head and kept his mouth shut, not daring to ask any more questions.In front of the car, Kisa was also startled. She had just crossed the street with her wheelchair
Gilbert had the entertainment paper spread out in front of him. Since he saw Kisa just now, the pages stopped turning and he might not have gone through the news in front of him. Davian really wanted to go to the spa. If Gilbert was not going, he, as an assistant, would be awkward to go alone. Having not gotten an answer from Gilbert for a long time, Davian shrugged and said, "It is only getting colder and colder from now on. Going to a spa is good for your health."Gilbert leaned back in the chair, looking out the window in a daze. "You may go if you want to."'What is he talking about? Mr. Tanner is inviting him. How can I, a mere assistant, go alone?' Davian said, "By the way, Mr. Tanner has also invited Mrs. Kooper Sr."Gilbert looked at him with a frown. "He has also invited Grandma?""Yeah. Mrs. Kooper Sr. told me about it this morning, and she is planning to bring Emma, your last blind date, with her."Gilbert pursed his lips, not looking the least bit happy.Davian glance
There was an elderly woman about the age of his grandmother and a middle-aged couple sitting in the living room. Sharon was coming out of the kitchen with some dishes. They were those people whom Gilbert least wanted to meet.As he turned around to leave, Madalyn stepped in front of him. "Since you are back, sit down, and have a good meal with the elders.""Hi, Gilbert. I cooked this meal myself," Sharon said as she walked up to him.Gilbert did not even glance at her but sat down silently on the couch.Standing outside, Davian glanced at the scene inside the house and thought, 'This is a freaking trap.' Just as he was deep in thought, George came out and said, "Davian, your boss asked you to stay for dinner."Davian quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, no. I have something to do. I'm leaving. Please tell Mr. Kooper for me," Davian said and got into the car in a flash.George looked at the car speed away and shook his head in amusement. 'Why are they all afraid to have dinner wit
