Outside the forensics office, Kisa anxiously twiddled her fingers. Her results were not out yet, and the doctor was making her wait longer. She looked at the clock on the wall, and her mood grew more and more restless.She hated waiting, especially for the types of waiting where the results were unknown. Every minute and every second was an ordeal. Lea patted her shoulder to comfort her, " Kisa, don't be hasty. The results should come out very soon."Kisa lay back in the wheelchair, not making a sound. Lea looked at her anxious and fearful expression while her eyes flashed a glint of complexity.Finally, the forensics office's door opened, and a doctor holding a file case came out shouting, "Ms. Kisa Becker!" Kia was shocked and quickly pushed her wheelchair toward him."Your maternity test report is out. Take it," the doctor said.Kisa took over the file case, her heart trembling. Lea saw that she wasn't in a hurry to open it, so she asked Kisa, "You're not going to look at it?"
"Are you blind?" Kisa's wheelchair was knocked over to the side. She lay on the floor embarrassingly. Her mask also slipped off her face while the report on her lap had spread all over the ground.A wave of harsh and familiar insults flowed overhead. Kisa's heart sank, and she did not care for the pain in her ankles. She hurriedly went to grab the forensic report."Kisa?" It was Sharon's voice.This large group of people made Kisa dare not lift her gaze. An old hand suddenly picked up a few pages of the report that floated to the wheelchair.Kisa's heart panicked and growled while lifting her head, " Give it back to me."It was Madalyn. The person who picked up the few pages of the report was Madalyn. Gilbert was standing by her side and holding onto her.Gilbert looked at her without changing emotions like he was looking at a stranger."What shameful things have you done that you are this anxious!" Madalyn chuckled coldly as she lowered her head to look at the pieces of paper s
Madalyn's expression shifted slightly, and an awkwardness flashed before it. After a moment, she slammed her cane to the ground hard and coldly spoke, " Let me tell you again, my great-grandkids have no relation to you whatsoever. Next time, if I find out you secretly did a maternity test with my great-grandkids, then don't blame me for what I'll do to you."Kisa gave a bitter smile. Madalyn was so angry that she wasn't thinking straight.'Since I've had already done the maternity test once, why would I do it a second time? Are these types of things even able to yield different results?'Madalyn's line of sight suddenly locked onto the wheelchair, as if she had just noticed that Kisa was in a wheelchair. She looked at Kisa from head to down. Seeing her stand up straight, Madalyn couldn't help but mockingly laugh at her, " Some people are especially nasty but chose to act out a weak and dainty look. You were perfectly fine; whose pity are you trying to get sitting on a wheelchair?"
Her ankles still hurt till she broke a cold sweat. Now that she crouched down with her whole weight pressed onto it. It made her pained till she gasped for cold air. She picked up the reports that were scattered piece by piece. Then she hobbled and limped to the side of her wheelchair. Then she steadied her wheelchair to sit back on it.Even though her ankles relaxed, her pain still did not alleviate for a long while. She placed the reports piece by piece, arranged them nicely, and then put them inside the file case. Even though she suffered from the ridicule of Madalyn and Sharon, she still went to the forensics department. That way, she could truly move on.She calmed her emotions and then pushed her wheelchair slowly to the forensics department. In front of a second-floor window, Gilbert was smoking his cigarette. His gaze was obscured as he stared at the frail figure downstairs.After a while, until that figure entered the forensics department, he spoke calmly, " You tell me, wh
Kisa froze and hurriedly wiped her tears. Then, she wheeled herself to the corner and tried to minimize her presence.She felt awful just now, so she purposefully hid at the fifth floor's stairwell to recompose herself.Most people did not use the stairwell, let alone the fifth floor's stairwell.Kisa figured the person causing the sounds of the footsteps was in a hurry to go upstairs but could not get into an escalator, so they took the stairs instead.She had her back against the staircase while her face toward the wall. She even quieted her breathing a little.The sight of Kisa facing the wall was enough to frighten someone at night.However, it was strange because the footsteps behind her had stopped.She frowned in confusion.'Was the person going to the fifth floor? But if they're going to the fifth floor, why aren't they coming over to push the fire door open?' she wondered.She scrunched her brows and listened quietly.'The footsteps are really gone,' she thought.Sh
"Kisa Becker. Do you know that you look really ridiculous right now? It's an ugly sight."Kisa was feeling down because of the DNA test. After she heard Gilbert's words of ridicule, she started laughing out of anger.She wheeled herself to face him.She peered at the man's contemptuous and frosty expression and forced a smile, "You're right. I particularly enjoy acting pitiful in front of him because it works really well on him."Gilbert took out another cigarette and lit it.He took a deep puff and snorted sarcastically."Then why are you using a wheelchair in front of me right now?" he said as he looked at her.Then, he chuckled and sneered, "This act doesn't work on me at all."Kisa gripped the armrest on her wheelchair and did not respond.Suddenly, Gilbert walked toward her and peered down at her.His contemptuous gaze drifted up and down her injured leg.Kisa wore a pair of loose-fitting sweatpants today. The hem of her pants was also loose and completely covered her a
Gilbert stood up and gazed down at her contemptuously."Even if I were sick, I'm not as sick as you. At the very least, I don't act pitiful."He took a few steps back and smiled lightly, "Aren't you always acting so arrogantly? Stand up if you have what it takes."Kisa gripped her pant leg tightly.This time, she truly could not stand up.Her ankle was numb from the pain, while her tailbone was throbbing in pain from the fall just now.Seeing how she did not move for a long time, Gilbert revealed a scornful look."I've told you that acting pitiful in front of me is useless. If you're that tough, then stand up!"It was as if the man in front of her was purposefully making things hard for her.'What's wrong with him again? Him treating me coldly and indifferently like a stranger was good; I could stay out of pain and disaster that way. Why is he trapping me here today and making things difficult for me? Is he angry because I did a DNA test with Ada and Andrew without his permiss
"See? You can still walk."Kisa had almost torn the sides of her pant legs open. The spot where she gripped was drenched in sweat.Kisa peered at him stubbornly and hatefully with her dark eyes, "You... Are you satisfied now?"'I can walk. But does he know how much pain I have to endure and the price I have to pay just to take these few steps?' she thought.Kisa forced herself to stand up straight.She stared at his smiling face and gritted her teeth, waiting for him to leave quickly.Meanwhile, Gilbert calmly stuck his cigarette back into the cigarette packet before stuffing it into his pant pocket.Then, he tucked one of his hands into his pockets while the other gently caressed the hair strands on Kisa's shoulder.He leaned to her ear and revealed a ghostly smile, "Don't use a wheelchair if you can walk. Your acting is disgusting.""If you find it disgusting, then don't look!""I don't want to. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's a man-made coincidence; I'm always running
