Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893 Driving Him to His Death

Jolina still felt embarrassed when she was in the car. She asked Kisa, “I’m not interrupting your work by following, am I?”

“Of course not. Let’s think of it as going on a driving tour.”

‘Yeah, think of it as a trip. I can also just take a break and relieve my emotions. When we get to Hillsby, if the words of the two jailers match what the warden said, then there will be no more internal struggle and illusions,” Kisa said in her mind.

In the Kooper residence, Madalyn sat dumbfounded by Gilbert’s bedside. She could never have imagined that her understanding grandson, who had always been willing to listen, would take such a large amount of sleeping pills. ‘Did he want to kill himself?

she asked in her mind, covering her face, sobbing with grief.

Kelvin stood by in sadness. He looked at Gilbert’s lean face and struggled internally. After a long silence, he finally said, “Please leave Gilbert alone, Mrs. Kooper Sr.”

Madalyn shuddered and looked at him. “What did you say? Have I ever tied or locked him up? He is my most beloved grandson. I love him more than anything.”

“But by hurting yourself, you are forcing him–forcing him to give up his happiness,” Kelvin said in a sad tone of voice. “Do you know how miserable Gilbert has been living these days? He has barely eaten anything. He told me he had terrible insomnia and that all he could think about was Kisa leaving. He was in grief, scared, and did not know what to do. He told me he wanted to be free. Just wanted to be free.”

Colors faded from Madalyn’s face. “So, all those cruel words Gilbert said to that woman the other day were really just an act, just to show me?”

Madalyn was so scared that even her hands shook with it. ‘I will drive Gilbert to his death eventually? No, that is impossible! I couldn’t even love my grandson enough; how could I drive him to his death? But why do I panic so much, especially seeing Gilbert’s pale face, as if I’m engulfed in fear?‘ Madalyn clutched Gilbert’s hand, tears clouding her eyes. ‘Am I really wrong, Gilbert?‘

Just then, Gilbert slowly opened his eyes. Only after staring blankly at the ceiling for a long time did his eyes focus on Madalyn. He let out a smile, but his face still looked pale.

“Grandma, why are you crying? What happened?”

“You just scared me.” Madalyn punched him in anger. “How could you take sleeping pills to kill yourself? You scared the hell out of me.”

Gilbert could not help but laugh at this. “Taking sleeping pills to kill myself? Grandma, you are mistaken.”
