Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475 Re-encountering Howard

She rubbed her aching temple and cautioned herself to stop guessing. Besides, Jensen had already found the mystery man who had saved her; in time, she could learn something from him. She would not take what Madalyn had said seriously, but she would not completely rule out Gilbert’s suspicions, either. She would wait and see how things would unfold, eventually.

To clear her mind, Kisa did not return to her place immediately but wandered along the road. It was almost four 4.00 pm when Kisa texted Lea to help her pick up the three children. She did not know when Gilbert would take Andrew and Ada back to the Kooper family. Since they had been with her for over two months, she would feel sad if they left.

The air was cool today, with no wind and clouds. Leaves covered both sides of the street, making the scenery desolate. Kisa pulled her collar closer as she walked silently along a quiet trail full of leaves. Suddenly, someone ran out of a courtyard and hugged her tightly, shocking her. Before she knew what had happened, two more figures rushed out of the same courtyard.

“I don’t want to go back in. I don’t want to be locked in. You guys go away, go away…”

The voice sounded familiar. Kisa frowned and looked over, only to find that it was Howard. She had not seen Howard for a long time. He had gained a little weight and no longer had that fake gentle smile on his face. Now he looked a little childish. Kisa looked and found that next to her was the side door of a mental hospital.

“I’m sorry. Did he scare you?”

One staff member apologized to Kisa, and the other came up, wanting to pull Howard away. But Howard grabbed at her arm, unwilling to let go no matter how hard the staff member pulled him.
