Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 628

Chapter 628 Are We Going to Die Here?

Afraid that it was just her hallucination, Kisa did not even dare to blink. “Gilbert…” She called out to Gilbert in a trembling voice, sounding weak and listless as if she would pass out anytime. Finally, Gilbert slowly opened his eyes, which got Kisa so agitated she almost stopped breathing.

“Y–You’re awake?” She cried with happy tears, and her messy face looked a little hilarious though Gilbert thought she looked very beautiful in that way. He arduously lifted his hand and touched Kisa’s choppy hair that was dampened by the snow, saying softly, “You really got me out of there.”

Kisa nodded hard, “I’m pretty impressive, huh?” Her lips were cracked and colorless, matching her pale, ghastly face as she smiled. Gilbert’s heart broke at the sight of her chapped lips. He mumbled, “Yes. You’re the best.”

A joyous smile appeared on Kisa’s face as she snuggled into his arms weakly, not feeling like moving at all.

Gilbert held her tight in his arms but hastily lifted and looked straight at the source of the gooey feeling when he touched her palm.

Kisa’s palms were covered in blood. The patch of bright red color in front of his eyes saddened him.

Not daring to touch her palm at all, Gilbert said in a heartbroken and sad tone, “Why? This isn’t worth it… It isn’t worth it at all…”

“Yes, it is,” Kisa whispered, sounding very weak.

“How could it be? I ate a poisonous fruit. I could be dead anytime…”

“Stop talking nonsense,” Kisa said, not having the strength to be mad at him anymore. She continued wearily, “I worked so hard to get you out of that cave. You can’t be so negative, or else everything I did will all be for naught.”

Gilbert stared at her bloody palm without talking, and his eyes became teary. ‘She doesn’t even love me. Why would she do so much for me? What’s going on in her mind?‘ Even though he did not understand many things, he did not dare to ask her, afraid of not getting the answer he desired. He preferred leaving some room for his imagination rather than getting the answers that would hurt him.

The cold wind blew by, and countless snowflakes fell on them. Soon, their bodies were covered by a layer of snow, yet they lay on the ground, unmoving as if they could not feel cold at all.

Kisa’s consciousness became weaker. Despite her wanting to get up and bring Gilbert back, she could not find the strength to do so. She said weakly, “Hey, do you think we’ll die here?”

“…I’m not going to let you die as long as I’m here,” said Gilbert. Kisa lifted the corners of her lips. That reply did not sound like it came out of a person’s mouth who hated her.

“Gilbert, you should walk back if you still have the energy. Just leave me here. I really… can’t move anymore.

Kisa’s vision blurred after saying that. She wondered to herself if she actually loved or hated Gilbert before passing out.

Meanwhile, in the mansion, one of the rescue teams returned and did not find any traces while the other team was still searching. Not only were there no updates about Kisa and Gilbert, but news of Jensen’s whereabouts was also missing.

Adrien was starting to get a little annoyed as almost the entire box of cigarettes was finished by him within a short time. Madalyn had not been sleeping for the past few days and fell ill. However, she did not want to rest in her room. She insisted on lying on the sofa in the living room to wait.

Everyone was gathered in the living room, waiting for updates. The atmosphere there was tense and stressful.
