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
"As you wish. I didn't want to get involved in your business. Now that Jensen is in a coma, I don't want to get involved even more." With that, Mia stopped talking and stared at Jensen.Before this, she and Jensen were forced to help Adrien do so many things, and she felt guilty about Gilbert and Kisa. But now, Jensen had met with such an accident because of Gilbert's pursuit. She found it hard not to hate and blame them. But she also knew she had no right to blame them. If there was anything she could blame, it was karma.After Mia came to the hospital, she did not leave again. She was by Jensen's side almost all the time.Kisa went back to her place that evening, not wanting to disturb them anymore. Once arrived, she stood in front of Jensen's house for a long time, having a lump in her throat. In the past, whenever she came back, Jensen would lean at the doorway, smoking a cigarette, smiling, and asking her if she was tired of filming. And now, she was standing between her and hi
"Uncle Adrien, I thought I heard you guys plotting against Gilbert earlier. Do you have any grudge against Gilbert and Kisa? I think—""These things are too complicated and not for you to ask about or get involved in." Adrien suddenly interrupted him. Instead of being stern, his voice had a hint of doting. "Just remember, later on, I will have a big gift for you."Peter got a little perplexed. "Uncle Adrien, why are you being so nice to me?""Because..." Adrien looked at his familiar face and chuckled, "I have been friends with your father for many years, and so I consider his child my own. Besides, I don't have any children of my own."Peter smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. He somehow found some of Adrien's words and demeanor strange, but he could not put his finger on them."Mr. Tanner, Mrs. Case is here to see you." Just then, a bodyguard reported in.Adrien smiled. "Invite her in.""Aye, Mr. Tanner."Peter stood up at once. "Since you have a guest, I will excuse myself
She pulled the quilt tighter around her body, staying still as she heard footsteps in the living room. They sounded heavy and intermittent. Even without looking, she could tell that it was Gilbert's footsteps.She was so familiar with that man that she could even recognize his footsteps right away, but she never understood what was in his mind. Otherwise, she would not have been deceived by him so much. She had known him for many years and was familiar with him, but she had never had access to his heart.Gilbert quietly looked at the plain furnishings of the house. He missed her a lot these days, like going crazy. But he still did not dare to go to her and see her. In the end, he could only come to her house to recollect the bits and pieces between them. He had never expected that the sweet time they had spent together before would only become a dream that was so out of his reach. Now that his dream was shattered. Even the memory of it still hurts. He sat down wearily on the couch, l
Placing the woman gently on the bed, he backed away slightly and stared into her glistening eyes, asking in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what you are doing right now?"Kisa said nothing. She just hooked his neck and kissed him again. Her tender yet passionate kiss made him lose his mind completely. He could not think about anything, just wanted to hold her and indulge himself once more. The woman beneath him was so passionate and perverse that every movement perfectly matched him. Because of her passionate cooperation, Gilbert almost went crazy and made love to her until late at night.He never thought that he could make love to her in such a hearty way in this life. Even at this moment, when she was sleeping peacefully beside him, all of this felt like a dream to him; it was unreal in every way. After that, he leaned against the headboard, languidly smoking a cigarette. His upper body was half exposed, his chest full of her passionate and wild scratches. He puffed out a ring of smok
