Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 39

Kisa at last, shuddered. 'I have seen many doctors, all of whom have given me a death sentence, but Kelvin said he could cure me? The genius of the medical world is really something. Just that…'

She slowly turned around with little emotional fluctuation. "Conditions. What are the conditions for curing me?" Kisa knew Kelvin hated her as much as Gilbert did, and she did not believe that this man would heal her with no conditions.

Looking at the nonchalant look of the woman in front of him, Kelvin felt frustrated and bored. Her physical condition was such that an ordinary doctor would have given her an absolute death sentence. He had thought she would be thrilled when he told her he could cure her, but no. Now it seemed as if nothing could stir up this woman's emotions. Kelvin looked at her with his arms akimbo. "Without conditions, as long as Gilbert agrees to let me heal you, I will heal you fully."

Kisa listened and could not help but snicker. "He wants me dead."

Kelvin was stunned for a moment and then said, "He still hates you so much, eh?" Kisa did not make a sound, and he sighed. "You can't blame him. You hurt his closest and dearest grandma. You know, it was his grandma who brought him up."

Kisa did not give any explanation but turned around to go out.

Kelvin shook his head and said helplessly, "You don't have much time left, so I advise you to ask for Gilbert's forgiveness."

'Begging Gilbert's forgiveness?' She shook her head mockingly when she thought of the way Gilbert looked at her in disgust. That would be impossible.

Watching Kisa leave without looking back, Kelvin felt a bit sad as he found that she really was not like this before. Now she looked so miserable, and it made him feel a bit melancholy.

"George, where is Gilbert?" Kisa searched around the villa but did not see Gilbert. He did not pick up her call. It was almost time to make good on her promise to Howard, but she could not help him regain his role.

George was pruning the flowers in the garden when he saw Kisa coming out. "Mrs. Kooper, are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

While Kisa spoke, Kelvin passed by, and he could not help but snicker.

George instantly looked at him suspiciously. "Mrs. Kooper is really fine?"

Kelvin glanced at Kisa's tense expression and said absent-mindedly, "She is fine, just malnutrition. She needs to avoid spicy food and eat more nutritious stuff." With that, he gave Kisa a meaningful look before leaving.

Seeing Kelvin leave, Kisa finally breathed a sigh of relief. She did not want anyone to know about her health. Just like when she was a child, she did not want to tell anyone about her injuries, and it was always Sharon who was extra "concerned" about her, so much so that everyone knew she was injured. At that time, Gilbert would say that she was pretentious. But God knows, she did not want him to know that she was hurt.

She shook those distant memories from her mind and asked George, "Where is Gilbert? Is he at the office?"

George shook his head. "Mr. Kooper has gone to Athadale on business."

"On a business trip?"

Kisa's first reaction to knowing Gilbert was away on business was a relief because she did not have to see that man for a few days. But when she thought of Howard's role, she felt a pang of guilt and urgency.

When she arrived at the set, everyone was busy, but Howard was just sitting in the corner. The director had not found a suitable replacement yet, and all the scenes about the second male lead had to be postponed.

During the break, Kisa walked up to Howard with a guilty conscience. "Sorry, I couldn't get your role back."

Howard was not angry at all. Instead, he was like a friendly guy next door, smiling at her to reassure her. "It is okay. There is always another chance."

Although he was saying so, Kisa still saw the sadness and despondency in his eyes.

This was Howard's first major role. He had been playing an insignificant role for many years, and now he had just landed on the role as the second male lead, but he lost it because of her. There was no wonder he was so despondent. But Kisa did not dare to give any other promises. Gilbert was determined not to give the role back to him, so nothing she could do would help.

At this moment, Ariella came running with an excited face. "Ugly, hurry to my house to pack my things. The flight is at 3 pm."

Kisa was stunned for a moment. "G-Go where?"

"Athadale."
