Semua Bab Reborn Through Fire: Bab 1261 - Bab 1270

"Grandma withdrew the lawsuit because of that letter?" Kisa was getting more and more confused. "Why did David help Sharon? Does he have a connection with the Case family?"Gilbert shook his head. "I checked. My uncle had nothing to do with the Case family, but... Carolyn seemed to have a crush on him many years ago.""What?" Kisa was utterly shocked, and something flashed through her mind so fast that she could not even grasp it. She sat down on the chair with her mind all over the place. 'Why did David save Sharon from the lawsuit? Could it be because of Carolyn? Does David like her? No, no, no. That's impossible. If David liked her, she wouldn't have married Christopher. With her personality, she would definitely choose David...'Did Carolyn beg him to write the letter? But, that's rather unlikely... She wouldn't be keeping quiet if she knew about David's whereabouts. Plus, there's no way she had a big fight with Christopher because of Adrien if she liked David. Unless... Unless

Vivian immediately widened her eyes.The burn scars behind Kisa's back were especially horrifying. Kisa had seen it in the mirror herself.Everyone who had seen the burn scars on her back was all shocked."Your back..."Vivian's voice was filled with shock.Arthur was curious. He tilted his head slightly and glanced in Kisa's direction in embarrassment.However, a single glance was enough to send him into shock."Ah... Kisa, what happened to your back? Why is it like that?"Kisa had a really fair complexion, making the scar look particularly obvious and hideous.Kisa pulled down her shirt and turned to face Vivian. Then, she smiled calmly and said, "Back then, my beloved sent me to jail. Then, I ended up with these wounds.""Your... Your beloved?" Vivian was in disbelief.Kisa nodded, "I loved that man for many years and became his wife, just like I wished. However, he still sent me to jail for another woman. Back then, I was eight months pregnant with his child.""W-What?"

Kisa said as she peered at Adrien's expression.Adrien nodded, "I heard about this from Mr. Mullen Sr. too. He said the eldest son of the Kooper family had hurt Ms. Mullen back then, so it's no surprise the Mullen family don't like the Kooper family.""Yeah. I want to atone for his sins, so I purposefully came over to console Ms. Mullen.""You're... helping the Kooper family atone for their sins?" Adrien looked at Kisa in amusement.He continued, "You don't have to atone for their sin. Isn't there Gilbert?"Kisa shook her head. "Ms. Mullen is a good person. It doesn't matter who's atoning for the sins. I, too, went through similarly unforgettable and hopeless suffering, so it's better for me to console her instead. Rather than saying that I'm atoning for the sins in the Kooper family's stead, I'm merely standing in the viewpoint of a woman who's gotten hurt and wants to help Ms. Mullen get better."Adrien nodded and said, "You're right."Kisa glanced at him and said half-jokingl

Kisa quickly forced a smile and said, "I'm curious, but I also love my life. So, I won't go seeking death.""That's good. Go upstairs and get some rest, Kisa. Thank you for consoling my aunt today.""You're most welcome. If you're free tomorrow, we'll go see your aunt again. We'll try to help her cheer up.""Mhm, okay. Then, I'll ask you to come with me when I go see her tomorrow."Gilbert stood by the window. He stared at the two silhouettes downstairs with a stoic expression as they chatted and laughed. Then, his expression darkened.He exhaled a smoke ring as he slowly narrowed his cold eyes.Shortly after, Kisa returned to their room.She opened the door, and the light in the room made her feel a lot calmer.When she lifted her gaze, she saw the man standing in front of the window with his back facing her.Kisa subconsciously smiled at the sight of the man. She did not feel a hint of uneasiness and fear.She closed the door and strode over. "You're back early today."Gil

Kisa subconsciously turned to look. To her surprise, the silhouette was Gilbert.'How'd he get to the courtyard within such a short period of time? He's still in his night robe,' she thought.Kisa then glanced at the courtyard behind him; it was pitch black. Only Vivian's place had some light, and the other places did not look different.Her gaze was fixated on Gilbert. After the man entered the house, she finally shifted her gaze.A while later, Gilbert finally returned."What were you doing just now?" Kisa asked curiously the moment the man entered the room.Gilbert shut the door and glanced at Kisa. A moment later, he responded indifferently, "Nothing."Then, he leaned onto the headboard and stared at a random spot in a daze.Gilbert scrunched up his brows as his eyes darkened; he seemed to be thinking about something.Kisa could not figure out what he was thinking, but she sensed he had a heavy heart.She pursed her lips. Then, she suppressed her curiosity and did not ask
