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
Just as Sharon was about to leave the room, Gilbert let out a low growl for her to stop, which made her tremble. When she turned around slowly, she saw that Gilbert had sat up again, his cold gaze penetrating through her thoughts. "Is there anything else, Gilbert?" Sharon smiled and asked softly.Gilbert fiddled around with the newspaper in his hand and laughed casually, "Was Emma an easy target?" Sharon's heart pounded, and a puzzled smile appeared on her face. "What are you talking about, Gilbert?""Didn't you push Emma to the point that she wanted to kill Kisa?""No, I did not."As soon as Gilbert finished speaking, Sharon started to cry out, "How could you suspect I would do such a thing? Emma has always disliked Kisa because she's your ex-wife. Her wanting to kill Kisa has nothing to do with me, I swear."Gilbert's lips curled upwards upon hearing that. "Do you remember what I told you before?" His voice was soft, and there was even a smile on his face, which Sharon found cre
Mia sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and said those words with a bit of grievance. Kisa poured her a cup of tea and brought out some snacks for Blake. "It's the end of the year. The company must be bustling.""You're the CEO of the company. It's under your name now. Why are you here?" Mia glanced at her and said in a resentful tone. Kisa lowered her gaze and smiled. "Relax. I'll give J & K Film Group back to him after some time."Mia was stunned. "That's not what I meant," she said with an unnatural expression on her face. "Since he gave you the company, you should just take it with peace of mind." Kisa shook her head after hearing that. "I've thought about it. It's useless for me to hold shares in this company."Kisa was no longer as determined as she was before to take her revenge on Gilbert anymore. She was just waiting for him to investigate the truth about the fire. Moreover, since they had been through hell in the cave together, she subconsciously believed that he had not
The boy, squatting on the ground with his back to Kisa, was Blake. In front of him were several metal cages with cute kittens in them. Blake stared at the kittens and was completely in love.Kisa walked over, kneeled down beside Blake, and glanced at the side of his face. "You like cats?"Blake nodded.He was the same as her in his regard. Kisa also liked cats. When she was younger, she always hugged her cat to sleep. But since the cat she raised died, she did not dare to keep such a pet again, as she was too heartbroken to see them die.She stroked Blake's head and smiled at him. "Want to keep one? How about I buy you one?" However, Blake shook his head and stood up. Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. "What is wrong? Don't you like it?""Liking them doesn't mean I have to keep them." Blake talked like an adult. "I don't think I can keep them. I'm happy just looking at them." He took one last look at the kittens in the cage.Kisa looked at him from behind once again and felt that
Mia's eyes widened, and as she looked over, she saw it was a woman in her fifties.The woman had a face like thunder. "This chicken is mine. Give it to me.""Heh, what a joke! Does this chicken have your name written on it? Finders keepers. Get away from me. You think I'm afraid of you just because you are fat?" Mia was fearless as she shook off the woman's hand.The woman would not let up and continued tugging the chicken. "I have had my eye on this chicken for a long time. The shopkeeper hadn't had the time to get it for me. Give it to me."Mia held the chicken in her arms. "You should have grabbed it earlier if you wanted it. Since I have my hand on it now, it is mine. You go away."The woman refused to back down, and the two went straight to fighting over it. The store was already crowded with people, and it was even more chaotic when they fought. Kisa was worried Blake would be knocked over, so she took him to the cashier's area. She told Blake to wait there before she went t
