Chapter 1512
Gilbert just could not bring himself to be cruel to the woman before him. Despite everything, he took her to his place-a decrepit courtyard tucked away deep in the alleyways of the old city district.
Kelvin had been taking care of his grandmother's illness here. With Kelvin around, Kisa did not have to worry about Thomas' injury. But Kelvin was not exactly thrilled to see her. As soon as he laid eyes on her, his face darkened, and he grabbed Gilbert's arm, saying in a harsh tone, "Why the hell did you bring her here? What if she rats us out to David and puts your grandma in danger?" i
Kisa was quick to defend herself, blurting out, "I won't tell David. I just escaped from him."
Kelvin sneered, "Yeah, right. You're full of sh*t. Who knows if you and David cooked up this little scheme to mess with us."
"I didn't-'
"Enough!" Gilbert cut her off coldly, turning to Kelvin. "Check out Thomas' injury first."
Kelvin scowled. "Are you kidding me? Not only are you not kicking her out, but now you want me to treat an enemy's injury? You-"
"As soon as his injury heals, they are out of here," Gilbert snapped before heading inside.
Kelvin shot Kisa a hateful look. "Mrs. Kooper Sr. is his top priority. You better not be pulling a fast one on him this time."
Kisa bit her lip, feeling a sharp pain in her chest. She said nothing and just helped Thomas stumble inside. As she settled him in, a woman suddenly came in, carrying groceries and medicine in her hands.
"Gilbert, I'm back," she called out sweetly, her voice intimate and natural.
