Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 82

Chapter 82 That’s Right, I’m Up To Something Gilbert was leaning on the bed frame. He looked a lot more tired than the day before. His lips were chapped and his whole body seemed weak.

Kisa stood at the door for quite a while, waiting for him to chase her out. However, he just sat there quietly while looking down and reading the newspaper in hand. The atmosphere was awkward and depressing. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She had thought of leaving the room quietly but felt that it was too sudden to do so. So, she asked nonchalantly, “You seem to be in good spirits today. You should be fine for the rest of the day, right?” Gilbert raised his eyes and looked at her, “Heh. You came here early in the morning just to check if I’m dead or not?”

All she wanted was for him to chase her out, so Kisa purposely provoked him, saying, “That’s right. Too bad the heavens have not heard my wish. They’re still letting you breathe.”

Gilbert’s eyes narrowed fiercely, and his jaw tightened in anger. Kisa added, “It seems like you don’t want me here. Then, I’ll get lost before you get upset and make yourself even weaker.”

“Hold it!”

At his growl, Kisa frowned. ‘Was that not enough to make him chase me out?’ she wondered to herself. ‘Were my words not spiteful enough?’ She turned around, ready to annoy him even more, but he was looking at the breakfast on the coffee table. “Those were sent in by the servants,” said Gilbert. Kisa was stunned. She quickly came back to her senses and replied,” I’m not hungry.” Gilbert laughed, “Oh, don’t flatter yourself. I wasn’t offering it to you.”

“You…”

Kisa tried to hold back her anger. She walked over and brought the breakfast to his bedside.

Just then, Davian came in.

Kisa glanced at him and reacted quickly, holding up a bowl of porridge. “You’re quite sick. Here, let me feed you.” she said to Gilbert in a gentle tone.

Gilbert stared at her in confusion.

On the other hand, Davian was pleased at what he saw. He told Gilbert, “Mr. Kooper, I’m glad to see that you’re in good spirits today. I can rest easy knowing that Mrs. Kooper is taking good care of you. You should just take this time to rest and recover. There hasn’t been much trouble in the company, except for the recent news. I’ll make sure to find out the truth and hold a press conference to clear things up.”

Gilbert was not listening. Instead, he was staring at Kisa with questions in his head. Kisa acted naturally and blew the hot porridge as if it was second nature. Davian looked at them both and smiled, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”

After bidding them goodbye, he quickly left the room to avoid disturbing the lovely couple. Kisa scooped a spoonful of porridge. Just as she was about to feed him, Gilbert grabbed onto her wrist tightly. “You’re treating me so kindly today. You’re up to something, aren’t you?” She had a strong urge to put the porridge aside and leave, but she had made a promise to Davian. She could only grit her teeth and get it over with.

At that point, she really wished he would chase her out of the room.

She replied with a sneer, “That’s right, I’m up to something. You’d better not eat the porridge. Who knows, I might’ve added some extra flavoring inside to poison you.”

‘With this, Gilbert must be at the brink of chasing me out,’ she thought to herself. But Gilbert only replied with a chuckle. Then, he pushed her hand toward his mouth and ate the spoonful of porridge slowly. “Mmm…tastes okay. Keep feeding me, let’s see if this porridge will really poison me to death or not.” “You…”

Kisa was confused. Usually, she did not have to say much, and Gilbert would tell her to get out of his sight.

But today, no matter how many insults she threw, Gilbert did not react.

She found this very strange.

At that moment, her phone rang and broke the silence.

She looked at the screen caller ID, and her eyes lit up in joy.
