Mia's eyes were red with resentment. "It is all because of you. If you hadn't forced Jensen to go out and look for him, Jensen wouldn't have gone missing. If Gilbert comes back and Jensen is missing, I bet you are going to feel guilty for the rest of your life."Madalyn covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably, looking pitiful and hateful.Adrien glanced slyly at Madalyn, the corners of his lips curled up in mockery.Peter suddenly pulled Mia over. "Come on, Mrs. Kooper Sr. is sad enough. Can you not add salt to injury? Besides, if Gilbert can come back, why not Jensen? In your mind, is Jensen not as capable as Gilbert?""Jensen is certainly just as capable as Gilbert. I'm just pissed off.""Okay, I know you are angry, but you are not going to skin Mrs. Kooper Sr. alive, are you?""Absolutely." Davian chimed in and said to Mia, "Mrs. Kooper Sr. is at least Jensen's grandmother. If you rebuke her like this, Jensen will not be happy if he finds out.""Heh, Jensen's grandmother?"
"Don't worry, if I really get sick, I will hit myself against the wall and definitely won't become your burden in the slightest!" Kisa instantly pulled her hand back, her eyes reddening as she stared at him with resentment and aggrievement. "Also, if my foot can't get better and you have found a way to get out, leave. I definitely won't hold you back," she said with utmost determination.Gilbert was upset to hear what she said. He told himself to be patient and softened his tone of voice. "I don't mean that. I just want you to stay well, and we can leave this cave together. Only this way will the chance of us being rescued become greater. What will I do if you fall ill or your foot injury worsens?""What do you mean? You can just go by yourself.""Then wouldn't my jumping down with you be all for naught?"Kisa stared at him, not saying anything. 'Hell knows why he jumped down after me.'Gilbert held her hands tightly again and said in a deep voice, "You know it; there is no way I
"Just come over here.""Say what you have to say!""Come over here and I will say it.""Then you had better keep it to yourself," Gilbert said nonchalantly and continued to bend down to collect firewood.Kisa glared at him, then staggered to stand up with one leg.Gilbert caught a glimpse of her action, and his face darkened instantly. "I told you to stay where you are? You are not listening again." He came for her as he spoke.Kisa pouted. "I called you so many times, and you didn't come over, so I had to go over to you."Gilbert pressed her to sit down. "What do you want to talk to me about?""Nothing, just trying to get you to eat something," Kisa said, taking the last of the bread out of her pocket.Gilbert furrowed his brows. "This kind of stuff, I—""Come on. You had better stop being picky. You try to be tough with your mouth, but your stomach is honest. Eat some and save yourself from fainting because of physical exhaustion.""Heh, am I that weak?""You just look th
She saw a bright light outside the cave opening and no more wind and snow blowing in. She hurried to Gilbert's side, and she almost fell to the ground because of so much haste and elation."Wake up, Gilbert. The blizzard has stopped. Get up and take a look."Gilbert was lying on the ground and showed no sign of waking up despite her call. He had always been shrewd and alert and could not have slept like a log. Her heart sank, and she hurriedly reached out to shake his shoulder. But he still did not respond. Kisa was getting more and more flustered, and she was almost crying. "Gilbert, what is wrong with you? Don't scare me, Gilbert. Wake up, wake up..." But no matter how loud she called out, he did not respond in the slightest, and Kisa burst into tears."You said you wouldn't get sick. You said you wouldn't leave me. You said you'd take me out. Gilbert, please wake up. Gilbert..."She fell, sitting helplessly on the ground. At this moment, despair and fear ran through her, and she
Their lips met in a fiery kiss as Gilbert closed his eyes, completely engrossed but with an inexplicable sadness and sorrow on his face. Kisa struggled and punched him out of anger. But no matter how hard she tried, he did not let go of her.He kissed her for a long while until she was about to suffocate. Only then did he let her go. Both of them looked like they were exhausted, with him lying on the ground with a smile and Kisa on top of him, panting softly. Her face was leaning on his chest, and her ears could clearly hear his heartbeat. The powerful heartbeat after heartbeat finally dispelled the fear inside her."You scared the hell out of me just now," she mumbled."Don't you hate me? You should be happy if I really die.""Who will take me out of this place if you die? If you die, I will also die in this empty cave with you," Kisa said sullenly, with a touch of grievance in her feeble voice.Gilbert smiled. "So this is the reason, apparently.""What else do you think the rea
"We rolled down the snow slope. The hole is three-dimensional, with the lower side being the place where we rolled down from. Follow that direction, and you will be on the right track. After going for some distance, turn on the phone to see if there is a signal. If there is, contact Jensen, and let him come to your rescue; if there is still no signal, turn... turn off the phone. Remember, before you get rescued, make sure your phone still has remaining charge."Listening to what he said, Kisa frowned involuntarily, as he sounded strange. She looked up at him. "Aren't we going out together?""Yeah, we're going out together." Gilbert smiled.Kisa stared at his smiling face, which looked a bit pale and felt an unexplained fear rising within her. "Gilbert, are you feeling unwell?"He shook his head. "No. It would be nice if you let me hug you, and... and it would be even nicer if you let me sleep with you."Kisa blushed and jokingly hit him. "We are already in trouble. Stop making thi
Kisa was startled by the voice, and the fruits in her hand fell to the ground. She turned her head in puzzlement and saw Gilbert striding toward her. He seemed to flounder a little as if he was still half asleep or feeling weak because of hunger.Gilbert held her shoulders up, asking anxiously, "Have you eaten? Have you eaten the fruits?"Kisa shook her head in bewilderment. "No. W-What is wrong?"Gilbert closed his eyes slightly, obviously relieved.She looked at Gilbert's anxious look and was worried. "What is wrong? Why can't I eat the fruits? Are they poisonous?"Gilbert remained silent, just keeping his head low as if he was not feeling well.Kisa hurriedly helped him to sit down. "Don't scare me, Gilbert. You are not really poisoned, are you?"Gilbert brushed his hair from his forehead and smiled. "How can that be? I'm fine. I'm just too hungry and lacking strength."Kisa did not quite believe him. "Then why did you say I mustn't eat the fruits?""We will be going out so
Kisa was transfixed for a second and then said with an awkward expression, "Why are you talking about that all of a sudden? You can quit if you like. I don't care, and I don't want to care."Gilbert suddenly stopped talking and just smoked in silence. Smoke lingered around, and the side of his face looked a little sad.Kisa wrung her fingers and said softly, "Smoking too much is not good. It is bad for your health and the people around you. If you can quit, then quit it. It is also for your own good."Gilbert just smiled and said nothing. Kisa pursed her lips and accompanied him in silence. She felt like he took forever to smoke this cigarette, especially in this silent atmosphere. After a long while, he finally finished the cigarette and tossed the cigarette butt into the fire with the flick of his fingers. He then put his hands on his knees, looking worried, as if something was on his mind. Kisa felt he was not in a good mood, so she kept quiet.Gilbert kept his head low in silen
