Chapter 683 Thoughtful
“Thank you very much for just going out and buying those things back for me. I didn’t know you were such a thoughtful person, even knowing to buy a packet of brown sugar. I—”
“The store owner gave me this. I thought it was a waste to throw it away, so I made a cup and drank it earlier. Not bad. I feel warm now.”
Words choked in her throat, and she realized she had overthought. ‘No way a man like Gilbert, with his eccentric, unpredictable, and cold face, could possibly be so thoughtful to know this. It was already so nice of him willing to go out and buy me the sanitary pads. The way he treats me now is so much better than before. I can’t be greedy to expect more from him.’
The brown sugar drink had an exceptionally warming effect and relieved the pain in Kisa’s belly. “It is late. Why don’t you go to bed? You have to drive tomorrow,” she said.
Gilbert shook his head as he fiddled with his cigarette pack, seemingly wanting to smoke but hesitating.
Kisa thought he was concerned about her, so she quickly said, “Go ahead and smoke. It doesn’t matter.”
She was not as weak as before when she could not even tolerate the smell of cigarette smoke, but Gilbert still did not smoke. He just put the cigarette pack into his pocket.
He was silent for a while before speaking all of a sudden. ” We need to be extra careful for the next few days, and we must get to that mountain village as soon as possible.”
Kisa’s grip on the cup tightened. “What is wrong? Is it because of the two killers?”
