Anthony's action halted, his ghastly eyes narrowing suspiciously. "What do you mean?"Lea said nothing, just cried in misery, her pale face full of guilt.Anthony had no patience. He grasped her neck and asked, "You better tell me clearly what you did behind my back again.""I-I just told Gilbert that Jensen was going to hide that warden at the south side of the mountain. I didn't know this would happen. It is my fault for whatever happened to Jensen and Gilbert. I shouldn't have talked too much. It is all my fault."A flash of fury crept up on Anthony's face as he heard this. "How dare you f*cking spoil our plan? Did I treat you too well all this time that you dare to betray me?" He growled, tightening his grasp on her neck.Lea sobbed uncontrollably. She did not struggle, just cried with guilt. "I was wrong. Kisa must hate me. What should I do? How could this happen? I just thought it would resolve the misunderstanding between Gilbert and Kisa when Gilbert found the warden. But
She trudged to the window, then took out her cigarette pack and lighter with trembling hands. It was late at night, and no one would care that she was smoking in the hospital. She lit a cigarette and had just taken a drag when Peter, dressed in a protective suit, came out of the emergency room.Kisa hurriedly went up to him. "How's it going?"Peter shook his head. "They are still trying to revive him. Everyone looks so serious. I don't know how the situation is."Mia leaned against the wall and was somewhat feeble. She held the cigarette tightly and said nothing.Kisa was worried about Peter's condition as he had just donated blood, so she helped him to sit on a chair so he could rest for a while, but Peter frowned and shook off her hand. "What are you doing?" As he said that, he glanced at Jolina, but Jolina did not look at him at all."You have just had a blood transfusion, so go rest for a while," Kisa said."No, I didn't have a blood transfusion," Peter said and hurriedly exp
"Mr. Kooper!" Jolina shouted subconsciously, looking anxiously at Kisa.However, Kisa remained indifferent and abhorrent. In her eyes, whatever Gilbert was doing at the moment was all a show, and he was so good at acting that he could fool everyone. Now she told herself she would not and would never fall for it again.Peter could not help but say to Kisa, " You have actually misunderstood him. As much as he didn't want me to talk about it, I couldn't keep quiet anymore."Kisa said nothing, her face remaining taut and sullen."I wanted to donate blood to Jensen, but Gilbert kept asking Kelvin to draw his blood like a madman. Kelvin said that he had reached his limit and would be detrimental to his body if he continued to do this. Kelvin was supposed to have me donate blood to Jensen, but Gilbert wouldn't let him take my blood and said I could replace him when no more blood could be drawn from him. He was like a man possessed," Peter said."So what?" Kisa asked indifferently, "What
Madalyn pursed her lips and then said, "It was Davian who brought you back." A flash of anger crept up on her face. "You wanted to kill yourself, didn't you? The doctor said you lost too much blood. If you don't take care of yourself now, you will get yourself killed.""But Jensen isn't out of danger yet. No matter how much blood he needs, I'm willing to donate it to him." Gilbert murmured, his bleary eyes staring vacantly at the ceiling. 'Kisa hates me for a reason. The other things aside, it was my pursuit that caused Jensen's accident. If I hadn't been chasing, he wouldn't have fallen into the river.' He felt powerless at the thought of this indisputable fact, feeling his explanation weak and empty. He rubbed his forehead in dismay, questioning himself. 'Why wasn't I the one who met with such an accident? Would Kisa be anxious, instead of hating me so much as she does now if this happens to me?'Seeing his expression, Madalyn quickly asked, "What's wrong? You feel unwell?" Gilbert
Davian spoke indignantly before realizing that he had talked inappropriately. He glanced at Gilbert, only to see Gilbert staring blankly at the ceiling with no expression on his face. Davian was relieved. He thought his speaking out of turn had upset Gilbert."Mr. Kooper, you...""Leave me alone." Gilbert suddenly said with little emotion in his voice. He sounded rather calm and somewhat eerie.Davian asked worriedly, "Are you all right, Mr. Kooper?""Get out and leave me alone."Davian pursed his lips and headed outside.After Davian left, Gilbert closed his eyes, and tears instantly trickled down from the corners of his eyes. 'All she has left of me now is disgust and hatred and even a wish for my death. Now that the warden is dead and Jensen is in a coma, how else can I explain to her?' The sense of powerlessness left him with a deep sense of despair. It was a feeling that was worse than dying. How he wished he was the one, not Jensen, lying unconscious in the hospital now..
Adrien leaned against the wall at the far end of the hallway and smoked.Lea walked over to him apprehensively. She knew Adrien was a powerful man whom Sharon and Anthony were both sucking up to. So she knew she could not afford to offend him. But he was responsible for Kisa and Gilbert's fallout. Whenever she saw Kisa's grief-stricken face, she had wanted to tell the truth but did not dare. She was still too timid and cowardly."Mr. Tanner.""Anthony dotes on you, doesn't he?" Adrien asked an entirely unrelated question. Lea was transfixed for a moment, not saying anything. He exhaled a ring of smoke and smiled absently. "I wanted to kill you a few times, but Anthony stopped me."Lea was wide-eyed, not fearing his killing intent but in shock that Anthony would protect her."You and Anthony are pretty close, too, aren't you?" Adrien looked at her. He had a gentle smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was intimidating. "Frankly speaking, Anthony is just a stooge of the Mullen
Adrien suddenly sighed, sounding self-recriminating."It is not your fault. It is my fault; I was the one who caused this to happen to Jensen," Kisa said, her eyes narrowing grimly. "So, I will avenge him." Not only Jensen's revenge but also hers. She would seek revenge against Gilbert. 'Heh, you played with my feelings, didn't you? Gilbert, do you think I am the best person in the world to fool and manipulate? This time, I will give as good as I take.'The rain poured down. Gilbert was standing in the courtyard, letting the rain beat down on him.Madalyn stood at the doorway and called out anxiously, but Gilbert did not seem to hear her. She tugged urgently at Kelvin. "Come on, Kelvin, pull him in. He is still weak. He can't stand in the rain like this. Come on!""Just let him be. Maybe he will feel better this way." Kelvin looked at Gilbert in the rain and spoke with distress. 'Emotional wounds are much more difficult to heal than physical ones. It is not a bad idea for Gilbert t
He silently clenched his hands at his sides, and his heart was heavy and aching. With Jensen in this condition, Gilbert did not even dare to face Kisa. When he saw her guarding Jensen by the bedside, holding Jensen's hand tightly, he was so jealous that he almost went mad. But he knew he had no right to be jealous because he had caused this irreparable situation.He stared at Kisa's face from afar, his eyes reddening, as he found that she had lost weight again, looking skinnier and skinnier. He wanted to rush in and hug her, but he could not because she had said she did not want to see him even for a second, that his presence would only make her loathe and sick. So, he could only hide and watch her from the darkness.He felt guilty and did not know how to make up for it. He wanted to donate all his blood to Jensen, but even then, Jensen had still not woken up but kept sleeping. No one knew when he could wake up. Gilbert did not know where this left him. As long as Jensen did not wake
