"Don't we have servants in this house? Why did you cook for him?"
"I wanted to," sneered Kisa.
Gilbert narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm telling you, stop trying to flirt with Kelvin. He has a partner. He'd never fall for you."
Kisa laughed angrily as she held the newspaper tightly with both hands, wishing to tear it into pieces. 'Why would he think that I'm flirting with Kelvin? It was just a bowl of noodles,' she thought.
After reminding herself that her task right now was to look after Gilbert and his wound, she decided to stay quiet. However, Gilbert mistook her silence as an agreement, and he could not control himself, "Don't even think about flirting with Kelvin. Stop trying to charm him so he can deliver a message to your boy toy. I'm telling you, he has someone he'd give everything for. So stop it."
Kisa tried to hold back her anger, but she threw in a few eye rolls here and there. "A man's imagination can really hold a universe,' she thought.
Kisa put down the newspaper and walked toward Gilbert expressionlessly, "Time for a new gauze." With that said, she helped him take off his nightwear. She knew that he would not be willing to corporate. Thus, she had to do it herself.
She did not want him to push her away, but Gilbert had different plans.
"Stop trying to please me. Go away."
"Why do you always have to act like this? Do you think I want to change your gauze? If you don't take good care of your wound, it won't heal, and I'll be the one who'll be busy later on."
"Why you—"
"I just want you to get better. If you insist that I have bad intentions, then there's nothing I can do."
