Immediately, about a dozen or so of the red fruit came into view.The fruits were not as fresh as they were initially, but they had yet to spoil either.She quickly picked the fruits up and put them into her clothes without caring about how dirty they were.Seeing that Kisa had found the fruits, Lea heaved a sigh of relief and did not feel so guilty now.Mia looked at Kisa's bizarre behavior and spat, "What a lunatic.""Tch..."Seeing Kisa's embarrassed look alongside the dirty fruits in her pocket, Peter frowned in disgust."Miss Kisa, if you really want to have fruits, I have plenty in this resort. Why do you need to pick those up from the garbage truck?""They are important to me," Kisa said before pausing for a moment. She then asked Peter, "I heard you've given the Kooper residence a call. Do you know... how Gilbert is doing right now?"Peter shook his head. "No one answered my call. Forget it. He's probably alright, or else it would have already made it to the papers."
Kisa turned back and looked at him, "What happened?""I'll take you home. It'll be quick.""But, Mia is alone..." Kisa still had something to say, but she was pulled into the room by Jensen."Before we go back, let me bandage your wound," Jensen pushed Kisa onto the sofa. The man's voice was husky and gentle, making it hard to resist him. The medical kit, left by the doctor who came to treat her injuries, was at the coffee table. Jensen opened the medical kit and took out the alcohol, ointment, and gauze. Jensen has always been a detailed man, but he was particularly meticulous while dressing people's wounds. He squatted in front of her, skillfully disinfected her wound, applied ointment, and wrapped it with gauze.On the other hand, Kisa's mind was somewhere else. She was still very worried about Gilbert. "To be honest, you don't really hate him anymore after what happened this time, right?" Jensen suddenly asked casually. Kisa froze, remaining silent.Jensen looked into her eyes
Kisa, with her tear-filled eyes, sobbed and choked when she looked at Jensen. Jensen, wiping her tears away, said, "That's why you have to ask him in person about this relationship."Kisa nodded her head, "I will ask him." Jensen then raised a corner of his lips and gave a half-smile.With Jensen's excellent driving skills, the car ride back was smooth and fast, with Kisa and Lea in the passenger seat. Along the way, Kisa was quietly staring out the window. Lea peeked at her, wanting to say something, but resisted out of concern for interrupting her.When they passed through an endless white field, Lea couldn't help but seize the opportunity to grab Kisa's hand, "Kisa, look! It's so beautiful."Kisa lifted her gaze and gave a brief glimpse. All the fields were covered in snow. At first glance, it was a beautiful vast expanse of whiteness. The scenery was out of this world. Lea felt strange and guilty simultaneously, seeing Kisa staring out the window without replying. Lea then star
The scenes from Kisa's nightmare emerged from her mind once again. Kisa pushed Sharon away and hurried up the stairs. Sharon threw insults at her, chasing after her when Lea rushed to hold Sharon back, "Kisa, hurry up!"When Kisa and Jensen were right at the corner of the stairs, they saw Madalyn. "How's Gilbert?" Kisa asked softly. Madalyn suddenly raised her hand, and Kisa flinched and closed her eyes.A slap was heard, but Kisa did not feel the pain. She opened her eyes in surprise and saw Jensen tilting his head, a slap mark visible on his face. She was startled and quickly grabbed Jensen's arm and shrieked at Madalyn, "Why did you hit him?"Jensen tightened his hands, his jawline sharp and cold but remained emotionless. Madalyn had gotten older, her finger full of wrinkles, pointed at Jensen, and howled in despair, "You're such a phony person. You're rotten to the core, as I expected. You should have never come back here.""What are you talking about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?" Kisa wa
" Mrs. Kooper, don't let his appearance fool you," Davian ran down in a rush. In the past, Davian always looked at Jensen with respect, as Jensen was once the elder son of the Kooper family. However, Davian was now full of hostility toward him. The inexplicable enmity made Kisa even more mystified and uneasy. She queried Davian, "What happened? Can you guys make it clear? Besides that, where is Gilbert?""M-Mr. Kooper...He's not going to make it. And it's all because of him," Davian's eyes were wet, pointing at Jensen with resentment.Kisa was shocked. "G-Gilbert...He's really dying?" Madalyn once again burst into tears on the side. Davian choked as he spoke, "As you know, Mr. Kooper ate a poisonous fruit. No matter how we tried, we could not identify the toxin; We couldn't simply use any kind of medication on him either."Kevin said that as long as he had the fruit for testing, Mr. Kooper could be saved. Ae called Mister Jensen just for that, but he didn't answer the phone. Ultimat
Davian was stunned and asked with disbelief, "You really have the fruit?"Kisa quickly nodded and took out the red fruit from her pocket. Once Davian saw the fruit, he hurriedly pulled Kisa up to find Kelvin. But Madalyn blocked her again. "What game are you playing now? Gilbert is already like this, yet you won't let him go? How did you manage to get the fruit when the caves collapsed? You're wrong if you think I will trust you by picking some random fruit outside. Get out of my house!"Madalyn's hatred toward Kisa only grew, and she refused to let her go up any further. Davian urged, "Mrs. Kooper Sr., please be reasonable. With Mr. Kooper in this state, she had no reason to bring fake fruits to us, right? No matter what she is here for, let Kelvin try first. It's better than letting Mr. Kooper die."Regardless of what Davian had said, Madalyn still dug her heels in. "If they really wanted to save Gilbert, they could have sent us the fruit ages ago. Why wait until now? I would neve
Jensen patted Kisa on the shoulder and said lowly, "Don't trust me too much."Then, he turned around and walked out without looking back.Kisa gazed at his retreating figure. She did not know if the inexplicable sadness lingering within was because of the biting wind or something else.Up till nightfall, there was still no news about Gilbert.Kisa wanted to go inside and check on him. However, Sharon stood by the door like a guard dog and did not allow Kisa to step foot into the Kooper residence.'If Sharon were the only person here, I could still handle her. But even George is here to stop me from entering the door. Since George has been with the Kooper family for a while now and has been good to me previously, I can't challenge him head-on,' she thought.Kisa felt anxious. She immediately asked George, "How's Gilbert?""Mr. Hoover is still treating the young master. As for its outcome, none of us know how it's going. Mrs. Kooper Sr. is about to cry her eyes out, so please, Ms.
Lea replied hurriedly, "Emma had knocked me out. That woman was cruel enough to do such nasty things to us. After that, Mr. Kooper and Davian found me. Otherwise, I would've frozen to death."'That's right, Lea almost froze to death in the snow. Jensen told me about it after the incident; that's why I thought I had wronged Lea at one point. But on second thoughts, there were footprints between the snow in front of me and the big tree even though Emma appeared behind me. If Mia had knocked out Lea behind the tree, how did Mia appear behind me? No matter how I look at it, there was someone else there other than me, Lea, and Emma. However, I can't figure out who the person is. If Lea is indeed lying to me, and assuming that she had purposefully suggested going to see the snow, what's her motive? Is she being threatened, or does she hold a grudge against me?' wondered Kisa.She looked at Lea, "Do you think I'm good to you?"Lea was startled for a moment. Then, she nodded."Of course. Y
