Kisa tensed up and immediately pulled her hand away. "Let me go! Let me go!"From her reaction, it looked like the woman was still resistant to him touching her.He suddenly recalled what Mrs. Kooper Sr. said, and his eyes immediately dimmed.He then let her go and turned to the window, his voice cold and distant. "Go then."Kisa bit her lips and could not help but ask, "Are... your wounds alright?""I won't die."The man's voice was cold, and so was his face.Kisa did not know what to say.She then looked down and said, "Rest well then."As she said that, she glanced at him and turned to leave.This time, Gilbert did not hold onto her.The man did not even make a single sound when she closed the door and left.After closing the door, Kisa stood outside for a moment before turning around and walking downstairs.It was Kelvin who called her, not Gilbert.Last night, it was all because of her selfishness and resentment that she almost got him killed.So, the man should be
Kisa immediately ran to the front of the guest room.As Kisa hurried, she ended up panting hard when she arrived at the door.It took her a while to catch her breath before she reached for the doorknob.The door opened after a soft clack.Just as Kisa opened the door and walked in, the man's cold, icy voice rang out, "Get out!"Kisa did not say anything and just stood quietly by the door.His back was still facing the door, so he thought the person who entered the room was Kelvin.She only heard him say, rather brashly, "Don't disturb me for nothing. And don't you use my phone to call that woman again. Hah, bluffing her to come here is pointless if she doesn't want to see me."At the very end, there was a self-mocking tone in his voice.Kisa bit her lips, and just like what Gracie said, he really thought that it was her who did not want to see him.Her fingers uneasily twitched as she took a deep breath and walked toward him."I don't want you to disturb me!"Hearing footst
Kisa's arm was struck away, and the porridge in the spoon spilled all over the floor. Kisa's body staggered sideways, and she almost fell down from the chair.Fortunately, she held the porridge bowl tight, or else it would have splashed all over the floor.Noticing that he had overreacted, Gilbert said with an awkward tone, "I told you. I don't want to force you to take care of me, you...""Did I ever say you were forcing me?" Kisa looked at him with reddened eyes. "I just want to take good care of you. It's not because you saved me, but I was worried about you, to begin with. You think I wasn't anxious when you got knocked down by the car yesterday?""I was crying hard outside the ER, and Jensen was the one consoling me.""I told him, I want to forget all of the hatred and grievances of the past. I want to be with you."Gilbert shuddered as his dark eyes looked at her deeply."You told him that you want to be with me?"Gilbert found it hard to believe it as the surge of joy an
The door was not locked, and the ones entering the room were Kelvin and Gracie."Sure enough, a different person bringing the porridge has a totally different outcome."Looking at the empty bowl in Gilbert's hand, Kelvin teased with a smile.Gracie, too let out a forced smile.Gilbert grunted and said, "I just happened to be hungry."Knowing how arrogant Gilbert could be, Kelvin eventually stopped teasing him.Kelvin then went into business mode, "I've checked your wounds, and they're all just flesh wounds. Changing your wound dressing daily will do the work. So, you and Kisa can stay here for the next few days while Gracie and I go somewhere else and not disturb you guys.""No need, really," Kisa immediately waved him off. "This is your home. How can we stay here just like that? Also, I have filming tomorrow and cannot take care of him.""What? Can't you take a few days off? Is your filming more important than Gilbert?"Kelvin suddenly let out a tirade in displeasure as Kisa
Kisa's face reddened, and she pushed him away, "Someone's here. I'll go have a look."Gilbert gritted his teeth, feeling a little miffed.'Bummer, I almost managed to kiss her."As she was afraid that the person coming could be Mrs. Kooper Sr., Kisa did not go down and only peeked through the window.And through it, she saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. alighting from the car with Davian escorting her.After the two got out of the car, Davian helped Mrs. Kooper Sr. into the house.Kisa immediately turned and told Gilbert, "It's Grandma. I'll go hide for a bit."As she said that, she walked to the bathroom.Gilbert immediately grabbed onto her, "No need, stay here.""But Grandma...""I'm here and won't allow her to hurt you. Also, you can't keep avoiding her like this. I don't want you to be wronged."His words made her feel warm inside.She patted his hands and smiled, "I'm not, but Grandma probably still has quite a lot of misunderstandings with me, and those won't be untangled within a
Gilbert's gaze darkened. "What do you mean?""My hatred toward her is more than what I had for her mother. She may have done nothing wrong, but her birth, in and of itself, is the greatest mistake of all.""Grandma..."Gilbert suddenly felt a little helpless, "Can you tell me why? Why do you despise her so?"Mrs. Kooper Sr. looked at Gilbert sadly and could not find the words.How she wished to make it clear to him so that he would leave that woman.But she dared not trigger his mental illness.She shook her head and said in pain, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. I cannot tell you. You just need to know that what Grandma is doing is for your own good. If you are to listen to me, cut off that woman and have nothing to do with her anymore.""I cannot do that.""Heh..." Mrs. Kooper Sr. suddenly let out a chilling laugh, "So, between her and me, you're choosing her?""I don't have a choice," Gilbert shifted his gaze away as he did not want to look at his grandmother's pai
Gilbert cocked an eyebrow and looked at her. "What idea?"Kisa just smiled mysteriously and said nothing.He glanced at her and suddenly felt that she was quite cunning. Five days after recuperating, Gilbert's wound had still not completely healed, but he could walk like a normal person.Kisa returned to the set to shoot her scenes normally after five days. As she had taken five days off for no reason, there was bound to cause tongues to wag. The most apparent one was Sharon, who mocked Kisa in her face. "Some people think they are entitled to special treatment just because they are the lead actresses, but they actually lack professionalism. I can't believe that such people even have fans. How ridiculous!""You're jealous, aren't you? I'm afraid you can't have such special treatment even if you wanted to because you aren't good enough." Ariella talked back at once.Kisa was in a good mood and did not want to make a fuss over it. She smiled at Ariella and said, "Just read the scrip
Jensen's eyes were darkly profound in the dim light. He smiled and said, "If you are not in a hurry, we can sit down and talk.""Okay."The café was quiet and suitable for having a conversation. Since arriving at the café, Kisa's cell phone had been ringing non-stop, and the sound of the ringing was particularly loud in the quiet atmosphere.Jensen glanced at her with a smile. "It is Gilbert, right?"Kisa smiled and did not answer.Jensen leaned back in his chair and said casually, "It is okay. You'd better reply to him. After that, we will have a talk.""Okay." Kisa nodded, hurriedly took out her phone, and sent a few messages back to Gilbert.Knowing Gilbert, Kisa knew he would not stop calling her just because she had returned a few messages. But surprisingly, he only replied with an 'I will wait for you', and then stopped calling her again. She felt he was slowly changing. Her heart filled with joy, and she could not help but smile at the thought of this.There was a fleeti
