Chapter 1473
Reborn Through Fire
Thomas was taken aback for a moment.
Kisa quickly explained, âDonât get me wrong, Peter just said⦠he said that you both have an identical birthmark on your chest. So, I was curious.â Her voice grew softer and softer toward the end of the sentence.
Seeing Thomas remain skeptical, she said, âActually, my mother also has a birthmark in the same spot.
And I have an older brother who has never been seen. When I saw Peterâs birthmark, I thought he might be my long-lost brother. But he said you have the same birthmark, so I wanted to take a look.â
After a moment of hesitation, Thomas smiled and said, âOh, I see. No problem, let me show you.â
He unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the blood-red birthmark on his chest. It was identical to Peterâs and just like the one Kisa remembered on her mother.
âBut how could this be? Does the birthmark really mean nothing?â she wondered.
Thomas stared at Kisaâs stunned expression for a moment before chuckling and asking. âMrs. Kooper, are you looking for your long-lost brother?â
Kisa nodded silently. Thomas then asked, âBesides the birthmark, is there anything else that could prove his identity?â
Kisa shook her head, but then remembered something and quickly said, âYes, thereâs a bracelet.â
âA bracelet?â Thomas suddenly became serious.
Kisa asked, puzzled, âWhatâs wrong?â
Thomas shook his head hastily and asked, âMrs. Kooper, are you suspecting that Peter and I are your brothers because of the birthmark?â
Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing.
Thomas sighed and said, âI donât think itâs possible, because Peter and I are fraternal twins. Iâm only a few minutes older than him and we donât look exactly alike. And our mother ran away with someone else when we were very young, so we couldnât be your brothers.â
Kisa stumbled out of Thomasâs room, feeling utterly lost and confused. According to Thomas, he and Peter could not possibly be her brothers.
That birthmark on Peterâs chest must have been just a coincidence. But if they are twins, why does Mr Webb Sr treat them so differently? And why did Thomas react so strangely when I mentioned the word â braceletâ? Is he hiding something?â
Lost in thought, Kisa made her way back to her room, only to collide with a solid wall of muscle.
Looking up, she saw Gilbertâs brooding gaze âStill up?â she greeted him, trying to sound casual as she brushed past him and flopped onto her bed.
Gilbert gave her a cold stare. âIt took you an hour to deliver a plate of spaghetti. What were you doing?â
Kisa did not have the energy to argue. She rolled over and looked at his rigid profile, then asked in a sulky tone, âCan you find out about a pregnant womanâs delivery 30 years ago?â
âWhat do you want this time?â The manâs tone was cold and hostile.
Kisa decided to come clean. âI forgot to tell you; I have another brother. He was born to my mother and your uncle. I want to find him.â
Gilbert stared at her for a long time saying nothing. Kisa smiled, but said nothing either, just turning to look out the window.
After a while, Gilbert spoke up.
