Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Addicted to Acting “Did you get addicted to acting, so much so that you even prepared your tears in advance after guessing I would come?” Gilbert snickered as he looked into Kisa’s teary red eyes.

“It is just a pity that even if you cry yourself to death in front of me, I won’t spare you a glance. Save your breath and stop acting pathetic in front of me.” The thought of her faking her dying that day made him sick and outraged.

Kisa forced a self-deprecating smile. ‘He forever feels that I’m faking my tears as if I wouldn’t feel sad or upset. But when Sara was in tears, he clearly felt sorry for her. That’s the difference between love and hate.!

Unyielding, she wiped the tears froin the corners of her eyes. “What are you doing here?”

“Heck! Don’t you even care to ask about Andrew after causing Andrew to fall sick? You are really cold blooded and selfish.”

Kisa felt uptight at the mention of Andrew, yet her tone of voice was unconcerned when she said, “That’s your child, not mine.”

“You-“Gilbert was so affronted that he wished he could strangle her, but he held back.

He took a deep breath and said, “Andrew is sick because of you. If you have any conscience at all, then take care of him and stop acting as if you’re dying in front of me.”

Kisa frowned and stared at him with bewilderment. ‘Didn’t he think I made Andrew sick on purpose? Didn’t he think I was targeting Andrew to get back at him? Why is he suddenly asking me to take care of Andrew again? Won’t he afraid that I would hurt Andrew again? Heck! He must be thinking of torturing and humiliating me again in some ways.’ With this in mind, she said in a nonchalant tone of

voice, “You have a personal doctor at home and countless maids. There is no need for me to take care of Andrew.”

Gilbert’s face darkened instantly. “What do you mean? Is it really that difficult for you to take care of him? You’d rather fake your death in front of me than visit him?”

“Yes. Who am I to take care of him? I- Aaaaah!”

Before Kisa’s voice trailed off, Gilbert grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up.

“Because you are the one who made him sick.” Gilbert gritted liis teeth and glared at her.” Kisa, you better behave and go take care of Andrew. Or I will make you die for real.”

“This woman is outrageously selfish and vicious. It is a good thing she does not know those two children are hers. Otherwise, she may break their hearts.’ He hated Kisa even more at the thought of the two children loving their mother so much.

“Hack, hack… Gilbert, what are you doing? L-Let go of me.” Kisa had only just come out of her coma, with no semblance of strength in her body, and there was a throbbing pain in her lungs and stomach.

Gilbert glowered at her. He seemed to notice that her face was as pale as a sheet of paper and her weight frighteningly light. He felt like he was not lifting a person but a broken doll

Nevertheless, the thought of how many times she had been faking her death in front of him enraged him. He lost his mind and threw her hard to the ground. “If not for Andrew insisting on seeing you, do you think I would let you get close to him?” Kisa curled up on the floor in pain.

But when she heard what he said, she could no longer care about the pain and asked in a trembling voice, “D-Did you say Andrew wanted to see me?”

Gilbert did not speak, his face looking unsympathetic.

Kisa felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of how well-behaved and understanding Andrew was and his humble way of pleasing her. She was so apathetic to that child, but he still liked her so much. As such, she could not really bring herself to hate him. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Gilbert glanced at her with an icy look. “No need to pack up. Come with me to my home right

now.”

She bit her lip with ambivalent and conflicted feelings inside. She understood she should not go, but the thought of Andrew’s fondness for her pulled her up at last. Gilbert walked to the car. He could not help but look back after waiting for a while, and Kisa had still not come out.
