She was startled and instinctively opened her mouth to scream, but no sound would come out. What was more horrifying was that she discovered that she could not move at all.'What is happening?' she thought.She stared at the shadow by the bed fearfully. She tried to move her fingers. However, her whole body was restrained by a mysterious force. She could not move at all.Suddenly, that shadow bent down slowly. Kisa could not see his face but could feel his breath touch her face. It was so cold."Kisa..." The shadow suddenly said. Its tone was gentle, but it seemed to be Gilbert's voice.Her heart trembled. Could the dark shadow be Gilbert? Yet Gilbert had never used such a gentle tone to call her "Kisa" before.She wanted to ask him if he was Gilbert, but however she tried to scream and shout, not a single sound would come out. It was as if she was utterly shackled. She could not do a thing and only stared at the dark figure before her in horror and confusion. The shadow seemed t
Davian furrowed his brows in disguise, "Anyhow, you are of noble breed. Couldn't your table manners be better?""I have not eaten a single meal for a few freaking days. I'm almost starving to death. There's no point in emphasizing etiquette," Kelvin finished speaking. He did not forget to stare at the noodles in Davian's hand and clicked his tongue, "Aren't you having your second bowl? It's such a big serving."Davian did not want to argue with him. He sat across him, confused, "Why did you talk to Ms. Kisa like that just now? She was actually worried for Mr. Kooper. If you told her that, wouldn't she worried to death?""That's fine. If Kisa was truly worried for Gilbert, she wouldn't have left in such a hurry. Don't just see that she has been staying here for a night. From what I see, it's just for show. You didn't see it. She was so eager to leave yesterday once dawn came. Tsk tsk, how unfortunate for Gilbert to still call her name when he is still unconscious. If it was based on
She was stunned. Who would appear in her kitchen? Lea? Jensen? But wasn't Jensen not back yet? Besides, Lea had returned the keys to the house earlier.With a heart full of doubt, she walked toward the direction of the kitchen. She was not worried that a burglar or other criminal would enter in broad daylight. She walked to the entrance of the kitchen. She then looked into the kitchen directly. From a single glance, she saw Jensen in an apron."You..." Seeing Jensen, she would always think of his silhouette on the day he left.It was particularly bleak and exceptionally determined. Thinking about it would make anyone feel sad. Jensen was making food. Hearing her voice, he could not help but turn his head and glance at her once. His handsome face had a gentle, light smile.Kisa stared at him in shock. He had returned to his usual gentle temperament. As if that day was merely an illusion to her.She slowly walked toward her, "You came back.""I called you yesterday. You didn't pick
"There is nothing to explain; just let it be," Jensen did not turn his head and spoke casually.Kisa always felt that he was spiteful. As for who he was spiteful to, she was not sure as well. She put down her spoon and stood up to walk two steps toward him. She told him, "I think this issue requires you to explain to Madam Kooper Sr. clearly. You all are family. After all, having a misunderstanding is not good."'Family?' He thought. Jensen smiled lightly and did not say a word. He only believed that these single words sounded so hilarious.Kisa secretly analyzed a bit and spoke, " It was obvious that someone took your phone at that time. Then impersonated you to send Madalyn that kind of message. As for who the person was, you should think hard. Who ultimately had beef with you and could easily reach your cell phone?""Enough!" Jensen abruptly growled at her.Kisa was stunned for a moment, then asked, " What's wrong?"Jensen turned around to look at her. His face had no expressi
Gilbert scrunched his brows and sat up abruptly. However, due to the weakness in his body, his whole frame fell back heavily. Even the syringe on the back of his hand had accidentally fallen out. Davian quickly held onto him and looked at Madalyn in frustration.Madalyn repeatedly slammed her cane in a fury, "Sinful, truly sinful. My dear grandson will one day be tortured to death by that wench."Gilbert pulled at Davian's arm and asked in a tense voice, "What exactly happened to Kisa?"That day, he used every ounce of strength to carry Kisa on his back to walk to the border of the resort area. Until he saw Jensen, then did he pass entirely out as if out of any strength.When he woke up again, he was already back at the Kooper residence, but he had no idea what had happened, or if Kisa was even alive.When he passed out, he had many dreams. All his dreams were about that woman. He dreamed about her childhood days, with her happy and lively state.He dreamed about her as an adult,
Gilbert suddenly remembered the scene in the cave where Kisa pulled him up with the vines.'If she doesn't give a f*ck about me, then she could have left. Why did she turn back and desperately try to save me? Is it not because she cares about me? She even said that she believed it wasn't me who set the prison on fire. She finally believes me,' Gilbert thought and could not help but smile. The depressing thoughts he had in his mind for the past few days suddenly disappeared. All he wanted to do now was to see Kisa.Kelvin shook his head when he saw Gilbert smiling. He turned over to Davian and said, "I think Mr. Kooper is delusional. He thinks Kisa cares about him. He thinks that she likes him. No, loves him."Davian felt the tension in his jaw as he nodded fiercely with a serious look on his face. "Tsk, tsk..." Kelvin shook his head and sighed, "This delusional disorder is not a good thing, but seeing how happy he is, let's not interfere. Otherwise, he'll return to how he was before
"We've been busy trying to resuscitate you; I don't know what's going on in the Thompson family. But I was flipping through the newspaper the other day and saw a report stating that Emma had gone abroad again. I didn't really read the news, though," Davian replied."She's abroad? Does she think that she can escape all this just by fleeing the country?" Gilbert chuckled coldly. The bloodthirsty look in his eyes made Davian and Kelvin tremble in fear."Kisa, Kisa... Have you read the news today?" That morning, Lea rushed into the room with a newspaper in her hands while Kisa was applying medicine to her injured ankle. She did not lock the door because she wanted to make it easier for Jensen to come in at any time. With a surprised look, Lea ran to Kisa in a few steps and placed one specific page of the newspaper in front of her.Kisa wondered what the news was about since there had not been any major news in the entertainment section recently. She looked down at the paper with doubt.
Seeing that Lea was anxious and determined never to hurt her, Kisa felt a series of complex emotions again. She did not mean to scare Lea. She just wanted to remind her, and she definitely did not want them to become enemies in the future."I'm just kidding, Lea. Are you hungry? There's food in the kitchen," she said as she smiled and patted her shoulder. Lea gave her a serious look and walked into the kitchen. "Do you want something to eat?" she asked. "No, I'm good, thanks," Kisa replied, looking at Lea's back and hoping that she understood what she was trying to convey.At the Kooper residence, Mrs. Kooper Sr. went into Gilbert's room angrily with a newspaper in her hand while Sharon was cutting up an apple for Gilbert. When she saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. rushing into the room, she quickly got up and backed away. Mrs. Kooper Sr. threw the newspaper in front of Gilbert and asked angrily, "Are you the one behind this?"Gilbert nodded slightly and did not deny it. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was furio
