Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 71

'Why is there so much blood on the snow outside the door?' Gilbert was shocked and rushed out with no hesitation.

Outside the door, the woman was nowhere to be seen, just a large puddle of shockingly gross blood on the snow.

Kelvin and Andrew had also come running out after him. Andrew tugged at Gilbert's coat and asked anxiously, "Daddy, where did Ma'am go? Is this blood really Ma'am's?"

"No." Gilbert replied patiently.

But Andrew was apparently not convinced. "If it's not Ma'am's, then whose is it? I just saw you dragging her out, Daddy. What did you do to her? I want Ma'am." He started to cry.

"That is enough."

Gilbert bellowed, but his eyes were on the puddle of blood.

When he saw Gilbert's bad mood, Kelvin hurriedly took Andrew, who was on the verge of tears, over to him and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry. Your ma'am will be fine." With that, he asked the maid to take him inside.

"Kelvin, do you think the blood is real?" Gilbert asked in a sudden murmur as he stared at the blood after Andrew had entered the house.

Kelvin sighed with his hands digging into his pockets. "You might as well just ask me if the blood was that woman's."

Gilbert suddenly became silent.

Kelvin looked at him helplessly. "Do you really not believe that woman is dying, or do you not want to believe it and would rather lie to yourself?"

"Is she really dying?" Gilbert suddenly looked at him, his dark eyes looking frightening.

But Kelvin did not know how to answer that question. After all, he had promised Kisa that he would not tell Gilbert about her condition. After thinking about it for a moment, he simply waved his hand. "How would I know? It is not like I have examined her."

As Kelvin finished speaking, Gilbert suddenly and inexplicably smiled again and said to himself, "I guess this is just another one of her tricks to gain sympathy. How could she get up and leave if she had really vomited so much blood? She always likes that, using tricks to gain sympathy when she does something wrong."

Kelvin looked at him with a thoughtful expression. For some reason, he somehow felt pity for Gilbert.

Ever since Kisa had left a puddle of blood on the snow, it was as if she had vanished—Gilbert called her phone many times, but there was no answer. By nightfall, the men who had been sent out to look for her had returned, but there was no sign of Kisa. He even sent out a search of all the hospital admissions in Calthon, but still nothing. He swept the papers off his desk in a fury and sneered. "Heh, every time she does something wrong, she wants to get away with it. Does she really think she can get away with it?"
