Chapter 454 Cut His Finger Jensen lowered his eyes, drawing back any emotions left in his eyes, and said in a low voice, âThat is the only way.â
Kisa had just hung up the phone when she saw Blake staring at her. It startled her for a second before she asked in bafflement, âWhat is wrong?â
âMaâam, what did Dad say to you?â
âHuh, how did you know it was your Dad calling?â Kisa wondered as she remembered she didnât mention Jensenâs name just now.
âUncle Gilbert told me. He said that Dad called you.â
âOh, it was him.â Kisa instantly knew that it was Gilbert who had sent the boy. She patted Blake on the head and said gently, âYour dad said nothing to me, just some personal matter. Be a good boy in the meantime. Heâll be back soon.â
âOkay. Iâll be a good boy,â Blake said and dashed back into the kitchen.
Gilbert was cutting meat when he saw Blake coming in. He did not ask but waited for Blake to tell him.
âUncle Gilbert, Maâam said that Dad said nothing to her. She also said that what Dad said to her was personal.â
âPersonal? What is so personal that she canât even tell the child? Besides, Jensen rarely calls. So why didnât he care to ask about Blakeâs situation when he called?â
âBut after Maâam received a phone call from Dad, she seemed to be in a good mood. When she answered the phone, it was a bit like she was so happy that she was going to cry.â
âSo happy that she was going to cry? Isnât that tears of joy? What kind of sweet talk did that man tell her that made her so happy?â
GASP!
Gilbert cut his finger because he was distracted. He gasped as he quickly looked at his finger, only to see a wound in his middle finger, and blood was oozing out of it.
Blake saw the situation and exclaimed, âUncle Gilbert, you are hurt. I will go tell Maâam.â He ran out in a flash. âMaâam, Maâam, Uncle Gilbert cut his hand! Maâam, Uncle Gilbert is hurt, bleeding a lot. Maâam, where are you, Maâam?â
Instead of Kisa coming, it was Andrew and Ada who rushed in. Not wanting to worry the two children, Gilbert spun around and rinsed the wound on his finger under the running tap. But the blood just kept flowing as if it was unstoppable.
Ada looked at him in fright. âDaddy, what happened to your finger?â
âNothing, just a little minor cut. Donât worry. Go out with Andrew and continue with your homework.â
âLet me see if itâs really just a minor cut.â
Ada did not believe him. Gilbert washed the blood off his finger again before showing it to Ada for a fleeting second, then hid his hand behind his back and smiled. âI didnât lie to you, did I?â
Ada pursed her lips and frowned. âBe careful not to cut your finger again.â
âI will.â
Gilbert responded with a smile and watched the two children walk out of the kitchen before he breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand back out. The blood was freely flowing again, dripping to the floor.
Before he could rinse the blood off, Kisa suddenly appeared in the kitchen doorway. She glanced at his bloody finger, not ignoring the fact that all five of his fingers were still intact. She then said carelessly, âWhat? Did you cut your hand?â Gilbert did not answer, he just turned around and silently rinsed the blood off his hands. Kisa walked in, grabbed a mop from the corner, mopped the blood off the floor, then leaned against the sink and watched him.
