Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1479

Chapter 1479

Jolina vigorously nodded her head, her pallid face finally regaining some color.

On the way back, Kisa was weighed down with heavy thoughts. Gilbert spoke in a subdued tone, “Actually, we can take her away from Oceanville tonight.”

Kisa did not respond.

Gilbert continued. “But you and I both know that Peter has gone mad. She can’t escape. No matter where she goes, with Peter’s resources and power, he’ll surely catch her soon. So the problem lies with Peter. If you really want to help her, you can only convince Peter to let her go.”

Kisa felt powerless.

‘If it were that easy for Peter to let go, he wouldn’t have such an obsession.’

“Do you think Peter loves Jolina?” Kisa murmured while gazing out the window at the heavy snowfall.

Gilbert smirked. ”A man who has gone crazy over a woman, do you think he loves her?”

He had been the same way with her in the past. He chuckled self- deprecatingly.

“This kind of obsessive love, isn’t it a burden for you guys?”

Kisa looked at him in surprise. “Why would you say that?”

“Nothing,” Gilbert replied as he turned the steering wheel and slowly drove into the mansion area.

Kisa did not dwell on that question. She craned her neck to see the Webb residence’s situation. It was still as dimly lit as when they left. It seemed that Peter had not yet returned. However, she was now worried.

‘If I can’t convince Peter to let go, Jolina will truly be unable to break free. But how could I convince Peter to let go?’

“Where is Jolina?” Peter growled; his voice strained with suppressed rage. He was as tightly wound as a beast on the brink of exploding.

Kisa held tight to Gilbert’s arm, silently urging him not to reveal Jolina’s location. She knew that in Peter’s current state, he would stop at nothing to find her, even if it meant putting her in danger. Gilbert hesitated, glancing down at Kisa’s hand on his arm. Then, with a deep breath, he faced Peter.

“She doesn’t love you, Peter. Even if I told you where she was, what good would it do? She’ll just run away again. Her heart isn’t with you.”

Gilbert’s words dripped with sarcasm, but they were also tinged with bitterness. He knew all too well the pain of holding onto someone who did not love him back.

Peter shook his head, his eyes wild and unfocused.

“Shut up! You don’t know anything! If you say one more word, I’ll kill you!”

With that, he brandished a knife, pressing it dangerously close to Gilbert’s neck
