Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440

Gilbert sat slumped against the headboard of the bed, while Kisa lay beside him. A heavy sense of gloom surrounded him, and his eyes were half-closed. Kisa stared at him, her eyes wide open, fixated on his chiseled jawline.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Gilbert spoke. “Did you wish for me to be hit by a car just now?”

Kisa blinked, then shook her head. “No, of course not.”

Gilbert’s lips twisted into a cold smirk. “Really? You may not want me dead, but you certainly don’t seem to care if I suffer.”

Kisa sat up and reached for his wounded arm. “You are bleeding badly. Let me help you.”

“Get away from me,” Gilbert snapped, his arm flailing.

Kisa was thrown off the bed and landed hard on the floor, her stomach hurting from the impact. She looked up at Gilbert, hurt and confused.

“Don’t play dumb with me,” Gilbert said, his eyes filled with anger. “I may be worried about this child, but I’m not stupid.”

Kisa said nothing but turned her back to him and lay down on the bed, rubbing her stomach. Her stomach was hurting, but she tried to convince herself that it was not that bad. Maybe if she just laid down for a bit, it would go away.

Gilbert gazed at her silhouette, agitated beyond measure. He got up and staggered out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.

She looked back and felt a pang of sadness. This silent treatment was unbearable, and she had no idea what Adrien was plotting. She wished he would just make a decisive move to end it all.
