Chapter 1481
"Peter!" Kisa exclaimed in shock.
Suddenly, Mr. Webb Sr. and Thomas came rushing out.
"What in tarnation is going on here? Someone come and get help, quick!" Mr. Webb Sr. shouted frantically at the servants.
Within moments, several of them ran out and carried Peter inside. Thomas looked at Kisa, seeming unsure of what to say.
After a long pause, he walked over to her and Gilbert, apologizing, "I'm sorry. Peter hasn't been in the best state of mind lately. Please forgive him. I'll call a doctor for Mr.
Kooper's injury."
"No need," Gilbert replied coolly, then took Kisa by the arm and led her inside.
Thomas hesitated, as if wanting to call Kisa back, but Mr. Webb Sr. stopped him. "You'd better keep Peter's background to yourself. I don't want to be known as a man who can't keep his word," Mr. Webb Sr. whispered sternly.
"But Mrs. Kooper really wants to find her brother."
"That's her business, and you'd better not say a word."
Back in the room, Kisa quickly fetched some alcohol and gauze to treat the wound on Gilbert's neck. It was not deep, so she cleaned it with alcohol, applied some ointment, and stopped the bleeding. "I'm sorry for getting you hurt," Kisa said, her voice sounding muffled as she hung her head.
Gilbert glanced at her and sneered. "You wanted me dead, didn't you? No need to act all sorry now."
Kisa looked up at him, wanting to say something, but he suddenly stood up.
"You go ahead and get some rest. I need to go out for a bit."
