Chapter 519 It Hurts
“Aaaaah!” Before Gilbert could rush over to catch her, Kisa missed a step and fell off the boulder. “That hurts…” She got up, rubbed her ankle, and cried at him with great anguish. My foot hurts so much.”
Gilbert walked up to her and did not know what to say upon seeing her face. After a long while of fighting back his anger, he gritted his teeth and snapped, “You deserve it.”
Kisa‘ felt even more aggrieved. She lowered her head, kneaded her ankle, and said nothing for a long time.
Gilbert looked up at the sky and asked, holding back his temper, “Can you still stand up?” “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have brought her here and should not have allowed her to fool around. I should have driven her back, or to Jensen’s place, instead of inviting trouble for myself.‘ But no matter how much he regretted it, he had already brought her here. So he could not bring himself to leave her here alone. Gilbert was getting irritated. He smashed his cigarette on the ground, stubbed it out with his foot, and then yelled at Kisa impatiently, “Can you still stand on your feet or not?”
But Kisa still said nothing, just looking down at her ankle.
Gilbert ran out of patience. He took a deep breath and reached out to pull her up.
“Aaaah!”
She suddenly cried out in agony despite him doing nothing to her. He sneered, “You are getting more and more pretentious when you are drunk.”
Kisa bit her lower lip and said nothing. Perhaps it was too painful, or she felt too aggrieved her eyes welled up.
Seeing that she kept quiet, he dragged her toward the car on the riverbank without saying a word. It was getting late, and he had no energy to entertain his drunken women here. But after just taking a step out, Kisa suddenly shook off his hand.
