Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 787 Avoiding Kisaâs face reddened, and she pushed him away, â Someoneâs here. Iâll go have a look.â
Gilbert gritted his teeth, feeling a little miffed.
âBummer, I almost managed to kiss her.â
As she was afraid that the person coming could be Mrs. Kooper Sr., Kisa did not go down and only peeked through the window.
And through it, she saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. alighting from the car with Davian escorting her.
After the two got out of the car, Davian helped Mrs. Kooper Sr. into the house.
Kisa immediately turned and told Gilbert, âItâs Grandma. Iâll go hide for a bit.â
As she said that, she walked to the bathroom.
Gilbert immediately grabbed onto her, âNo need, stay here.â
âBut Grandmaâ¦â
âIâm here and wonât allow her to hurt you. Also, you canât keep avoiding her like this. I donât want you to be wronged.â
His words made her feel warm inside.
She patted his hands and smiled, âIâm not, but Grandma probably still has quite a lot of misunderstandings with me, and those wonât be untangled within a short time. Iâll avoid her, and her ire for now, or else the two of you might fight.â
When Gilbert was about to say something else, Kisa had already let go of his hands and walked to the bathroom.
Gilbert looked on firmly at her thin back, his eyes filled with distress and regret.
Mrs. Kooper Sr. soon arrived in his room, and the moment she got in, she started to look around.
âThat Kelvin, he said to bring you here so itâll be easier for him to take care of you and look. Thereâs no one in this big villa at all. Where did that runt go to?â
As Mrs. Kooper Sr. said that, she glanced at the wound on his leg and continued, âYouâre immobile, and thereâs no one here. Iâm really worried that you might struggle to even get food. That Kelvin is unreliable, so follow Grandma back after this.â
âGrandmaâ¦â Gilbert put down the magazine in his hand as he said to her, âIâve already eaten. Theyâve been taking good care of me, donât worry. They probably went out to attend to something. They canât be minding me every hour of the day, right? Itâs not like Iâm crippled.â
âHush you, stop jinxing yourself.â
Mrs. Kooper Sr. looked at him lovingly, âHmm, you do look good today. Iâm relieved.â
âGrandma, Iâm fine. You donât have to come to visit me every day.â
âNo, if I donât see you even for a single day, I wonât be at peace,â Mrs. Kooper Sr. smiled as her eyes suddenly caught sight of the two mugs on the side table, and one of them had a slight lipstick stain on it. She narrowed her eyes as a glint flashed across them.
She sat opposite Gilbert, her hands on her walking stick as she said, âThat woman was here?â
âWhich woman?â Gilbert pretended not to understand her.
Mrs. Kooper Sr. sneered, âYou know who Iâm talking about.â
Gilbert did not respond and instead lowered his gaze toward the magazine on his knee.
It was clear that the manâs silence was an admission.
Mrs. Kooper Sr.âs chest heaved violently twice.
Suddenly, her hands struck, knocking the cups on the table onto the ground.
Davian was shocked and immediately rushed over, ||
Maâam, donât be like that. Calm down.â
Gilbert looked up at Mrs. Kooper Sr.. âYou hate her that much?â
âI not only hate her, but I also despise her!â
Mrs. Kooper Sr. roared. Her eyes were red as fury and sorrow radiated from her old eyes.
Gilbert was distressed, âJust because of her mother?â
Mrs. Kooper Sr. did not say anything and only gripped her walking stick tightly. The anger in her heart caused her old hands to tremble.
âNo matter your grievances with her mother, that is in the past. Why must you vent your anger on her?
She did nothing wrong.â
âHah!â
Mrs. Kooper Sr suddenly chuckled, âDid you really think I despise her just because of her mother?â
