Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 684

Chapter 684 What Matters is His Innocence

Gilbert halted in his tracks and turned to look at her. What’s up?”

“Do we have to continue to find the two jailers?”

“Of course,” Gilbert said determinedly. “I said I would prove to you I didn’t start that fire.” Determination and persistence filled his eyes. The truth was not important to him. What mattered to him was his innocence in her eyes.

Kisa pursed her lips, not knowing what to do. Seeing the worry on her face, Gilbert walked up to her, held her shoulders, and whispered, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you get hurt on this trip.”

“But there are a dozen killers after us.”

“So what? I alone can take them all down.” Gilbert sounded as cool as a cucumber as if to assuage her anxiety.

Kisa pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. She knew that as long as Gilbert could not prove his innocence,

there would always be something standing between them. He also knew this, which was why he was desperate. So she told herself that since she had already taken on this journey, she should not look back.

It was 9:00 a.m. when they set off again. Kisa felt more secure with the sanitary pads and snacks with her. It was a small town, so they had left the town boundary in just ten minutes. Kisa looked at the map and saw they were heading all the way to the countryside. The rural roads in the suburbs were all in good condition, but nothing was around, not even a house. Kisa did not sleep well last night. She was leaning against the window and looked at the desolate scenery outside for a while before she started to feel drowsy.

Gilbert gave her a sideways glance and said, “If you are sleepy, recline the seat and sleep. I think we will get to that mountain village at noon the day after tomorrow.”
