Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 624

Chapter 624 I Lied “Because I lied. There are no vines around here at all.”

Kisa stiffened in place. She shook her head stiffly and giggled. “Stop kidding. You just clearly said you didn’t lie to me.”

“But I really lied to you.” Gilbert stood on the stone and looked up at her expressionlessly. He did not look like he was joking. Kisa’s heart sank, and she kept shaking her head. “What do you mean? You said you would come up, and there were vines around here. You said you wouldn’t lie to me. Gilbert, why are you always like this? You never keep your word. I really hate you. I hate you so much.” Kisa’s eyes reddened, her voice choked with grief and aggrievement.

Gilbert quietly looked at her sad face and suddenly chuckled. “If I didn’t lie to you, would you be willing to get up there? Weren’t you afraid I would die here and couldn’t take you out of here? Now you are out of this cave. Follow the direction where you rolled down earlier, and you can find the way back. So, you shouldn’t be crying. You should be happy. You have been saved, and the person you hate is dying. This is something you should celebrate and be happy about. Why are you crying?

“It’s not like that.” Kisa covered her mouth, so sad that her heart arched. She hated him but never to the point of wanting him dead. “I’m not talking to you. I’m going to find the vines or something that can pull you up.”

“It won’t work.”

“Why won’t it work?” Kisa had just gotten to her feet when he said that. She broke down and yelled.

“How do you know it will not work if you haven’t tried it? There are no vines around here, but some should be somewhere else. If not, I can return to the resort and get Davian to help.”

Gilbert stared at her anxious face and asked in a low voice, “You don’t want me to die?”

Kisa shook her head vigorously. “I never wanted you to die, even when you sent me to prison, set me on fire, and killed our child. I just hate you and resent you for being so cruel to me. I just wished I would never meet you again in this and the subsequent lives, not having anything to do with you again. But I have never wanted your life. After all… after all, you saved me once.”

After all, her mother had often instructed her when she was a child to guard a man named Gilbert with her life. So, she never wanted to take his life. Even when she hated him, she just thought of taking revenge on him, making him suffer, or staying away from him and not having anything to do with him. But she always wanted him to live well.

Gilbert looked at her with emotions and seemingly tears in his eyes. “I didn’t start the prison fire,” he said slowly and clearly.

Kisa looked at him, both hands grasping the snow, but did not make a sound.

Gilbert suddenly smiled self–deprecatingly. “You still don’t believe me, do you?”

“I believe you.” Kisa suddenly said, her tone serious and sincere.

Her reply tugged at his heartstrings, and he asked, almost in disbelief, “Do you really believe that?”

“Yes, I believe.” She did not believe it previously, but now Gilbert sacrificed himself to save her. There was no reason not to believe him. Moreover, he was a man who had always been bold and daring. Putting aside those prejudices, she really should have believed him that he did not start the fire.
