Chapter 1401
Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 1401 Heâll Definitely Find Her Kisa was startled and began to feel curious. Strange⦠How can there be light?â
The tiny spot of light was not very bright. Kisa stared at it for a long time, only to realize that it was coming through the cracks of the ruins. The rubble from the collapse had formed a wall. Kisa needed to find out whether someone was there or if someone had dropped their phone. The faint light looked like a flashlight from a mobile.
Kisa touched her way around but still could not find a way out. âHello? Is anyone there?â she shouted, but no one answered.
âSomeone must have dropped a phone on the other side,â she thought. âThis will be much easier if only I can grab it.â
Kisa put her hands on the wall and continued walking along it, but she still could not find an exit.
Suddenly, she heard a vague sound of people talking. The voices sounded familiar.
âThat sounds like Anthony and Mr. Mullen Sr.â
âActually, I donât hate you, Anthony. On the contrary, son, youâre the most important child to me. I only wanted to train you so that you could become stronger. Thatâs why Iâm always so strict and harsh on you. Can you please forgive me?â
âWeâll talk about this later, dad. Letâs get out of here first.â
âThere is no way Iâm getting out of here anymore, son⦠This is where I say goodbye⦠In my whole lifetime on this earth, Iâve wronged you the most⦠Iâm going to hand this place over to you, my son From this moment onward, the Mullen residence will be yoursâ¦â
âNo. Iâll carry you out of here right nowâ¦â
The voice became quieter, and Kisa panicked. âHelp! Help me! Help!!!â she yelled.
Anthony was walking toward another exit with Mr. Mullen Sr. on his back. Suddenly, he heard the cry for help and could not help but stop in his tracks. Although Mr. Mullen Sr. had hit his head hard. on the stone and was covered in blood, he still recognized that the voice was Kisaâs.
He opened his eyes slightly, looked at Anthony, who looked tense, and smiled weakly, âPut me down and save her⦠After all, she⦠Sheâs your belovedâs best friend⦠Sheâ¦â
âItâs okay. Someone else will come for her.â After that, Anthony carried Mr. Mullen Sr. on his back and walked into a narrow opening without looking back.
âIâm sure heâll come and save her,â he thought.
Kisa shouted for a long time, but no one answered. She weakly leaned against the ruins as she began to wonder why Anthony was there.
âThe door was locked from outside, and the stairs had collapsed. There was no reason for him to come.
Even if the search and rescue team had arrived and managed to open the door, he shouldnât have come down alone. Whatâs going on here?â
âDoes he⦠Does he know that thereâs another exit in this basement ?! Just as Kisa was thinking about it, some rocks and sand fell from above onto her legs. Kisa gasped in pain as she could barely move her limbs. She reached out to touch her leg and suddenly felt some warm liquid. She was bleeding.
She let out a breath and leaned feebly against the wall. It was still pitch black, Kisa stared blankly into the darkness, and a wave of sadness formed in her heart. âAm I really going to die like this? Does anyone even know that Iâm here? Will anybody come and rescue me?â
Kisa stroked her belly as she thought about what would happen to her. âEvery time I want to protect you, I end up putting you in danger,â she said to the baby in her belly.
âIâm such an incompetent mother⦠I wonder what Gilbert is doing right now. Does he know that Iâm down here? Would he come save me if he knew?â
Suddenly, Kisa saw Gilbert walking toward her, almost like a hallucination from missing him too much.
