Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 864

Chapter 864 Endless Walt

Gilbert lowered his eyes and looked at the caller ID on the phone screen; it was the Kooper residence’s landline number. A bad feeling washed through him, and he answered the phone with a frown.

“Mr. Kooper, come back quickly. Something has happened to Mrs. Kooper Sr.” It was George speaking.

Gilbert’s heart sank, and he subconsciously gripped his cell phone. George was still on the phone, sobbing, seemingly in grief. Gilbert tensed up, his hand on the steering wheel shivering. He made a sudden U–turn and sped off toward the Kooper residence, and that abrupt change of direction flung the box off the seat onto the foot well, smashing the cake inside into a lump of creamy mess, just like something important in his heart shattered into pieces and could not be put together again.

Kisa had already prepared the meal. The table was full of delicious dishes that gave out an appetizing aroma, but there was no one at the table. She was sitting straight on the couch, staring out the window in a daze, feeling restless inside. She wrung her hands anxiously while waiting for Jensen and Gilbert to arrive. There was a wall clock on the wall. She looked up at it and saw that it was sometime after four. She had just spoken to Gilbert over the phone an hour ago, and Gilbert said he was on his way and would be with her soon. But an hour had passed, and he should have arrived long ago. Whether he departed from the GK International Building or the Kooper residence, an hour was long enough. So she wondered why he had not arrived.
