Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 640

Chapter 640 Don’t Trust Me Too Much Jensen patted Kisa on the shoulder and said lowly, “Don’t trust me too much.”

Then, he turned around and walked out without looking back.

Kisa gazed at his retreating figure. She did not know if the inexplicable sadness lingering within was because of the biting wind or something else.

Up till nightfall, there was still no news about Gilbert.

Kisa wanted to go inside and check on him. However, Sharon stood by the door like a guard dog and did not allow Kisa to step foot into the Kooper residence.

‘If Sharon were the only person here, I could still handle her. But even George is here to stop me from entering the door. Since George has been with the Kooper family for a while now and has been good to me previously, I can’t challenge him head–on,‘ she thought.

Kisa felt anxious. She immediately asked George, “How’s Gilbert?”

“Mr. Hoover is still treating the young master. As for its outcome, none of us know how it’s going. Mrs.

Kooper Sr. is about to cry her eyes out, so please, Ms. Becker, don’t provoke her.”

George spoke in a distant and cold tone.

Kisa lowered her gaze, “Alright, I won’t go in.”

‘It seems like Gilbert’s situation doesn’t look good,‘ she thought.

Perhaps it was because she had stood in the courtyard for too long and had gotten a cold from the chilly breeze, or maybe it was because she had not eaten the entire day; Kisa’s legs were a little wobbly.

Lea held her and said, “Let’s wait in the car.”

Even though Jensen had left, his car was still there. Even his car keys were still in the ignition.

After the two entered the car, the biting wind was promptly blocked out.

Through the car window, Kisa peered at the Kooper residence’s brightly lit entrance and felt tears well up in her eyes. She felt so awful she wanted to cry.

‘I used to hate Gilbert to the bone, so much that I wanted to take revenge on him even in my dreams.

Yet, I feel so awful now that he’s at death’s door. Maybe it’s like what Jensen said; the hate that I speak of is merely self–deception,‘ thought Kisa.

Lea peered at Kisa’s side profile. She contemplated for a while before finally mustering the courage, “Kisa, did I do something wrong? You’ve been extra distant ever since you regained consciousness.”

Kisa turned to face her.

The woman in front of her had a cautious and slightly wronged expression.

Kisa pursed her lips; she did not know how to bring up the topic.

The atmosphere in the car was suffocatingly quiet.

Lea asked softly, “Are you still mad at me for throwing out the fruits?”

Kisa shook her head.

“There’s no reason to blame you since we found “But you didn’t treat me this way before this. What happened, Kisa?”

“Lea…” Kisa suddenly turned to Lea with a serious expression, “That day, when we went to see the snow, I got attacked by Emma and rolled down the slope.”

Lea nodded.

“I know. I’ve heard of it.”

Kisa quietly lowered her gaze.

“Heard of it from whom?” she asked softly.

Lea’s expression changed slightly, “From… From Mr. Kooper.”

Kisa wanted to smile, but she could not. Instead, a bitter smile formed on her lips.

Ever since she had regained consciousness, she had not told Jensen about the incident of Emma attacking her.

Nobody other than Emma, Gilbert, and myself knows about Emma shoving me down the slope.

Moreover, Gilbert fainted after he carried me back to the resort. Then, he was brought back home by the Kooper family overnight.

Everyone thinks that Gilbert and I were stuck in the mountains because we were met with an accident.

‘How does Lea know that I was actually shoved down the slope by Emma?‘ wondered Kisa.

She suppressed her emotions and said to Lea coolly, “Then where were you when it happened? Did you know that I called out to you many times?”
