Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 116

Chapter 116 I Truly Lost My Family Kisa ignored his scornful expression and placed the bowl of chicken soup in front of him. “I made you some chicken soup; it‘s good for you.”

Gilbert glanced at the creamy chicken soup before turning to her sharply, “Stop beating around the bush. Tell me, what is it that you want from me?”

He refused to believe there was no hidden agenda behind her kindness to him.

‘Everything nice that she had done for me had ulterior motives,‘ he thought.

Just as he had expected, she stopped putting on a facade. “I need your help with something.” Gilbert scoffed and did not respond.

Kisa quickly added, “It‘s not something difficult. I was hoping that you could take me to the Case family‘s house sometime this week,”

Sharon has set a trap for me; that‘s why she wants me to attend Grandpa‘s birthday banquet so badly.

As long as I get my hands on my mother‘s belongings before the banquet, Sharon will have a hard time pulling off her plan. However, I won‘t be able to step foot into the Case family‘s house on my own. Even if I do manage to get in, Sharon and her mother, Carolyn Marshall, would never hand over my mother‘s belongings. I have no choice but to ask for Gilbert‘s help,‘ Kisa thought.

For a moment, Gilbert was startled. Then, he sneered, “The Case family‘s house is your house too.

Isn‘t it funny for you to ask me to take you to your own house? Or are you plotting something wicked?”

Kisa peered at Gilbert. He had an expression that was filled with ridicule and doubt. Finally, she lost it.

“At this state, what else could I be plotting? You‘re right. I used to be a part of the Case family. But right now, do you think that I still have a family? Would the Case family still allow me to enter the house now that I‘ve been in jail? My request is simple; I‘m only asking you to take me to the Case family‘s house.

Was it necessary for you to ridicule and scorn me?” Kisa yelled.

She felt bitter and wronged.

‘I truly lost my family when my mother passed. I just wanted to retrieve my mother‘s belongings. It doesn‘t even matter if Sharon made up said belongings to set me up; I just want to go take a look,‘ she thought.

Gilbert felt a twinge in his heart when he saw Kisa‘s teary eyes. However, he kept his stoic expression.

“Why are you going to the Case family‘s house?”

“To retrieve my mother‘s belongings,” Kisa answered truthfully.

This time, Gilbert did not give her a cynical response. He said coolly, “I‘ll take you there tomorrow if I‘m free. You can get lost now.”

Kisa did not want to remain in the room any longer, so she wiped away her tears and ran out.

Meanwhile, Gilbert stared at the chicken soup with a thoughtful expression.

‘Why does Kisa want to return to the Case family‘s house to retrieve her mother‘s belongings out of the blue? Why didn‘t she do it when she was still staying in the house? Whatever. I‘ll make an exception and believe her this time,‘ he thought.

The following day.

Kisa waited for Gilbert‘s return.

When Gilbert finally returned, she quickly ran up to him, “Are you busy today? Have you eaten? Are you hungry?” Kisa asked him several questions in a row. However, the hurried expression on her face showed no signs of concern. Gilbert lightly scoffed and did not answer. Kisa could not decipher the meaning behind his actions. She quickly added, “If you are not busy or hungry, let‘s depart. We can go to the Case family‘s house right now.” Then, she started dragging Gilbert out of the house.

Kisa was so forceful that she ripped out the buttons on Gilbert‘s suit. He yanked her hand away forcefully and huffed, “What‘s with the rush? I didn‘t even get to take a sip of water!” When Kisa heard his words, she quickly ran back into the house and poured him a glass of water. She was so desperate she almost fed him the water.

g Kisa got into the car and twisted her fingers sadly.

‘Mother didn‘t leave me anything when she passed away. Was it because she had nothing to leave, or was she worried I‘d miss her when I saw her things? But I really do miss her. That‘s why I‘ll go take a look even if I have to go through fire. It doesn‘t matter if it‘s something she used or a book she read,‘

she thought.

While Gilbert was driving, he glanced at Kisa from the corner of his eyes. She was oddly quiet at the moment.

He scoffed icily, “You better not be lying this time. If you are not going to the Case family‘s house to retrieve your mother‘s belongings...” “Thank you.”

This time, Kisa was genuinely thanking him.

Gilbert felt uncomfortable with her sincere gratitude.

He turned away awkwardly before scoffing icily again.

Then, he continued focusing on the road. The journey went on for a while before they arrived. Gilbert slowly drove the car into the Case family‘s courtyard.
