Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403 We Are Going Home Now

Gilbert looked at Kisa and saw her eyes filled with terror and panic. His heart twitched and caused a sharp pain within. He stroked her wet hair and gently talked to her as he tried to remove her hand, " Don't be scared. The kids and I are here now. No one can hurt you."

However, Kisa grasped his placket firmly as if it were her final straw. Gilbert let out a distressing sigh and turned on the music in the car. The sound of relaxing music made everyone loosen up a little.

Suddenly, Blake stretched his head to the front and said to Kisa seriously, "Don't worry, Ma'am. Mister and I will protect you."

Kisa blinked her eyes and shed tears. Her hands relaxed a little, but she was still trembling. Gilbert gently wiped away the tears on her face and said tenderly as he tried to remove her hands again, "It's alright. We're going home now. Everything will be fine once we reach home."

Finally, Kisa let go of her hands off his placket. Yet she was still frightened and hugged her knees to her chest tightly. Gilbert stared deeply at her and shut the car door softly.

He then started the car. No one talked during the car ride. Music was the only sound in the car. Andrew, Ada, and Blake felt the heavy atmosphere in the car and sat quietly in their seats. They were filled with questions, and at the same time, they were worried about Kisa. But they remained silent.

The drive was slow. It took approximately an hour to reach the apartment.

Ada was the first to stand up and asked with a hoarse voice, " Daddy, what happened to Ma'am?"

"Don't worry, she's fine. I'll take her up later," said Gilbert, rubbing Ada’s head. "Head up with your brother. Go to bed once you take a shower. I'll take you to school tomorrow."

Ada and Andrew remained in the same position. At this moment, Blake said, "Let's go up! We should let ma'am rest well."

Andrew and Ada compromised and got out of the car after hearing what Blake said. Gilbert watched as they entered the elevator. He looked up the building to their apartment unit. He drew back his attention once he saw the lights were on and looked at the woman beside him.

Kisa was in a mess, her hair all over her face and her clothes still wet. Gilbert stretched out his hand and gently brushed off the hair on her face. Gilbert did not wake Kisa up in the slightest. She seemed tired and slept soundly. He wanted to wake her up, concerned that she might get sick from her wet clothes. However, he did not have the heart to interrupt her from a deep sleep and silently raised the car temperature.
