Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 17

Kisa took a deep breath and quickly fought back her sadness.

"Kisa," Sharon walked up to her with a clear tone of reproach, "How on earth did you take care of Andrew? You can't just mistreat him because he is Gilbert's child with someone else. The child is innocent."

"What do you mean?" Lea immediately said defiantly. "What do you mean mistreat? No one would expect the child to get sick, okay? And when he is sick, Kisa is also anxious, okay?"

"But why was it such a coincidence that Andrew got sick just after he arrived at your place?" Sharon questioned, staring at Kisa.

Kisa did not make a sound, and Sharon continued. "You know, Andrew has been weak since he was born. His lungs are not well developed, and minor sickness can induce a major illness. That is why Gilbert has been taking care of him meticulously."

"What?" Kisa was uptight upon hearing that.

"Forget it." Sharon's expression finally eased up. "Leave before Gilbert notices you. He really hates you this time. He said you should have died five years ago and should not have been alive."

Kisa thought she would not feel sad for this man again, but hearing what Sharon said, her heart still ached involuntarily. She said in self-deprecating tones, "It doesn't matter. Just let him kill me again if he dares."

Sharon appeared helpless and anxious. "It is not like you don't know Gilbert hates you, which has never changed. You should not be stubborn with him, nor should you harbor false hope about him. You better leave before he comes over, really."

Every word that Sharon said pierced into her, causing her heart to drip with blood. 'The man I once loved with my life is bent on my death. How pathetic I am.'

Sharon glanced at her sorrowful eyes. "Listen to me; go now. You have survived after all the trials. I can't let anything happen to you again."

Lea was anxious and pulled Kisa away. "She is right, Kisa. Let's go. It is useless for you to wait here. You might further upset him."

Kisa looked down and did not respond. So Lea pushed her away, and just as they reached the elevator, Gilbert came over. He still looked ruthless as ever, but his warmthless eyes had stronger hatred and a hint of mockery in them.

"Are you trying to run away even though Andrew's condition is still unknown?"
