Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 706 Do Something Else Thatâll Help With Sleep Suddenly, Gilbert pulled Kisa to his chest.
âYouâll find out tomorrow, so why worry so much?â
âBut I feel uneasy. Something has been feeling amiss throughout our journey. Somethingâs wrong, but I canât seem to put my finger on it.â
âI think youâre overthinking because youâre too anxious. Why donâtâ¦â Gilbert said as he gazed shifted to the neckline of her shirt, âWe do something else? Itâll help with sleep.â
The man smirked naughtily as he continued peering at the neckline of her shirt. There was a fire in his eyes that looked feral and came with a hint of suggestiveness.
Kisa took a deep breath before shoving him away. Then, she turned her back to him.
âIâm trying to tell him something serious, but heâs always thinking about such things; weâre on completely different channels,â she thought.
The smile on Gilbertâs face dropped a little.
Then, he lay flat and cushioned his arm at the back of his head.
âSheâs feeling uneasy, but so am I. Right now, I canât even guarantee that the two jailers will speak the truth tomorrow. After all, a group of mysterious people appeared to save them. Not knowing what the mysterious people are up to makes me feel unconfident. It took me a lot to convince this woman to agree to go back the way we used to, so tomorrow, I need to prove that Iâm innocent no matter what it takes,â thought Gilbert.
It may have been because of the warmth under the covers, but Kisa slept comfortably through the night.
The room was bright when she woke up. Streams of blinding sunlight were shining in from the battered window.
Kisa stared at the window and zoned out for a while before being reminded of Gilbert.
She turned to her side to realize that he was long gone. Even the sheets were cold to her touch.
âGilbert mustâve woken up a long time ago,â thought Kisa.
She glanced at the time. It was nearly nine oâclock.
While hugging the blankets, she sat up and grabbed the sweater at the end of the bed. Then, she threw on the sweater.
Suddenly, Kisa heard a scream of terror.
She trembled in fear.
She sped up her pace and quickly finished putting on her clothes.
Then, she hurriedly ran out of the room. However, the was no one in the living room.
The scream came from the room on the left, and that was the room where the two jailers were staying.
Kisa quickly ran toward the room on the left. Just as she got to the door, someone grabbed her waist and pulled her into their embrace.
Kisa turned around in panic. She came to the realization that it was Gilbert who was holding her.
âWhat happened?â
Kisa asked in a tense voice while peering into the room.
Only the edge of the curtain was lifted. Kisa could only see the messy bedding and nothing else.
However, it was obvious the two jailers were inside. They kept on shrieking as if they were terrified of something.
Gilbert narrowed her eyes slightly, âThey just woke up, so theyâre not exactly emotionally stable. Wait for a while. Weâll go in once theyâve calmed down.â
Kisa nodded.
âThatâs the only option,â she thought.
âDonât kill me. All of you, go. I donât know anything;
donât kill me.â
âItâs been six years. We really donât know anything, so donât kill us.â
Behind the curtains, the two jailers mumbled in fear.
Kisa turned to Gilbert. He had an incredibly tense expression.
She pursed her lips and tugged on Gilbertâs sleeve, âLetâs go outside. Your subordinates have spent a couple of days with the jailers, so theyâre more acquainted with them. Let them console the jailers.â
âThatâs right, Mr. Kooper. You and Ms. Becker can wait outside.â
Gilbert did not move. Instead, he gazed at the curtain darkly.
Kisa had no choice but to drag him out forcefully.
Even though it was still during the day, the village was still quiet. It seemed like there were not many people who were staying in the village.
Gilbert stood beneath the eave and lit a cigarette in annoyance.
Kisa peered into the house before walking up to him, Theyâre scared⦠of you, right?â
âI Gilbertâs expression promptly darkened. Then, he gazed at her icily.
