Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1543

Chapter 1543

As Kisa started to walk away, she was suddenly pulled back into place.

Gilbert firmly held her hand once again, addressing Sara. "You were injured while saving me, so in a way, I owe you my life. Tell me what you want. If it's within my means. I'll give it to you.’

Sara's voice caught in her throat, her expression growing even more heart­wrenching. Tears streamed down her face as she asked him, "Do you really believe I saved you just to receive something in return? After all these years, haven't you figured out how I feel about you?"

"Initially, you helped me. Later, to save you from trouble, I became your boyfriend in name only. You know very well that we never shared a deeper connection," he recounted.

Back in school, he had accidentally misplaced the birthday gift Kisa had given him. Sara found it, and to show his gratitude, he promised to do her a favor. Not long after, she asked him to become her boyfriend in name only, claiming she was overwhelmed by her numerous admirers, which affected her studies. He had initially refused, but after overhearing Kisa and Jensen's conversation under a tree, he mistakenly believed Kisa had ulterior motives for trying to please him. In a fit of anger, he agreed to be Sara's nominal boyfriend.

Time flew by, and he never imagined that Sara would still be fixated on that verbal agreement. When she disappeared years ago, he mistakenly thought it was Kisa's doing and was filled with guilt, which led him to search for Sara relentlessly. He did not harbor any romantic feelings for Sara, and this should have been clarified long ago. 1

With a distant gaze, he looked at the woman before him.

"I'll give you a sum of money. Use it to live your life to the fullest."

"No. I can't..." Sara sobbed, her voice cracking with heartache, "I can't live without you. These past years have been a living hell for me, and I've only clung to life to see you again. If I don't have you, what is the point of living?"
