Chapter 803 Worried All Night Long
It was Kisa’s name that showed up on the screen. Gilbert picked up the phone and answered it with no hesitation.
“Hello, Gilbert?”
When Kisa’s voice came into his ears, he suddenly closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, all the worry, tension, and fear transformed into unspeakable anger. He gasped lightly, his ehest heaving.
“Gilbert?” Kisa called out again when she did not get a response.
Gilbert clutched his phone and asked in a deep voice, “Where are you?”
“Oh, I had an incident on the road last night, and then Jolina saved me, and then I spent the night at Jolina’s place.”
“Then why didn’t you return my messages last night? Why didn’t you answer my phone calls? Did you know last night I was… I was…” Gilbert yelled furiously, and at the end, he put a hand to his forehead, feeling powerless.
Kisa felt Gilbert was angry when he suddenly stopped speaking. So she hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, I did not mean not to answer your phone, nor did I mean not to return your message. It was just too noisy in the karaoke bar, and I didn’t hear the phone ring. My phone just powered off by itself after you called several times,” Kisa said, her voice getting softer toward the end of the sentence. She was obviously diffident.
Gilbert did not want to say anything more. Perhaps his nerves had been too tense all night. His strength seemed to have left him. He did not want to talk or do anything but just wanted to sleep.
When Kisa did not get Gilbert’s response, Kisa called out to him again, “A–Are you angry, Gilbert?”
“Nope.” Gilbert suddenly whispered again when she was about to say something. “That is all for now. You take care of yourself.”
