Kelvin looked at Gilbert in shock. 'How much hatred does he have for this woman, for him to humiliate her like that?'He then suddenly understood why this woman outright refused to tell Gilbert about her condition.Kisa looked at Gilbert with reddened eyes, her heart aching.'If this was Sara or Sharon, he would be pained instead of trying to humiliate me.''It's only with me that he is so brutal, so ruthless.'Looking at her reddened, bitter eyes, Gilbert only offered a sneer, "Crawl then. Since you want to act like you're dying, then act the part. What's the point of using those props?""You want me to crawl? I refuse!" Kisa glared at him and as the last of the words left her mouth, she struggled to climb up.'Even if I die, I refuse to die in front of this man bereft of any dignity.'Her soaked body felt a chill all over, but it was nothing compared to the ice in her heart.The discomfort of her body and the dizziness in her head had sapped her of her strength, just as she
When Kisa woke up again, Kelvin was seated by her side.Kelvin closed the magazine and smiled at her. "If I didn't find you collapsed in your room in time, you probably would've met Hades already."Kisa did not say anything. Her face was nothing but iciness and hatred.Kelvin knew what she was seething at and could only sigh, "Actually, you don't need to butt heads with Gilbert. Just take crawling out of the room in front of him an opportunity for you to save your life."Kisa mockingly twitched her lips but said nothing.Kelvin ignored her sneer and said solemnly, "Your condition is worsening by the day, and if this goes on, you'll have less than a year to live. So I'd advise you to play nice with Gilbert and beg him.""You're his friend, and I don't blame you for standing on his side." Kisa slowly got up as she looked at him icily. "But I will never beg him."Now that she had said that, Kelvin did not persist.Kisa suddenly laughed, but her eyes were chillingly cold. "Do you b
Kisa lowered her gaze as she quietly sorted the matter out in her mind.'So, it's because Gilbert acted late that the news could not be suppressed, and when he learned that Howard was using this news to get popular, he handed the role back to him to help publicize the new GK Pictures's drama?'But with Gilbert's proud character, he will not care for such trifling benefits.'So why did he suddenly give Howard his role back?' Kisa did not believe Gilbert would be so kind as to do so. 'As for the rumors, could it be Sharon's doing? Did she deliberately let the reporters know that I was Kisa Becker, and got them to gather around Grandma's place?'But this entire thing does Sharon no good. Conversely, if my identity as GK Picture's CEO's wife is exposed, then Sharon will never have the chance to marry into the Kooper family. So, this is not her doing.'After analyzing the entire thing, she felt the greatest benefactor of this was Howard himself. Thinking of this, she had the same ter
At this moment, Sharon was feeding Gilbert porridge.Due to Kisa's sudden appearance, both of their faces suddenly turned gloomy.Kisa quickly shifted her gaze from Gilbert's icy face onto Sharon as she smiled at the latter, "Sharon, you sure are clairvoyant, so much so that you know that Howard and I wanted to investigate the news. Seems like you do believe me.""That's right. After all, you're my dear sister." Sharon let out a fake smile.Kisa twitched her lips icily, "However, your vision sure is twenty-twenty, both Howard and I were so covered up, and still you recognized us. No one would've bought that if you did not tail us from the beginning."Sharon's expression changed, but she dared not to make a scene before Gilbert.At this moment, Gilbert suddenly sneered, "You still dare to meet up with your darling boy at this juncture, then why are you afraid of being tailed? Ridiculous!"The man's voice was full of scorn and anger.Only then did Kisa take a look at him. She saw
Sharon was stunned. She scowled at her and snapped. "What are you talking about?""You know that Gilbert's seriously injured and needs as much rest as possible. Yet, you still choose to talk about these things in front of him. Are you trying to kill him?""I'm not," retorted Sharon. She quickly looked toward him, "Gilbert, trust me. I wasn't trying to make you angry. I just felt like all this was unfair to you."Gilbert seemed tired. He pinched his forehead and replied coldly, "Get out."Sharon, who was looking pleased, turned toward Kisa, "Did you hear that? Gilbert wants you to leave.""Both of you, get out!"His words startled Sharon and made her blush in shame.Kisa sneered at her, then turned around and walked out. Just as she entered her room, she heard quick footsteps following behind her.She turned around to a big slap flying toward her.Luckily, she was fast enough to react. She quickly lifted her hands and grabbed onto Sharon's wrist.Now that Gilbert was not aroun
Gilbert was leaning on the headboard. He looked a lot paler 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.She had thought of leaving the room quietly but felt that it was too sudden to do so.So, she blurted out, "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 u
"Hey, Ariella!"Just as she said that, Gilbert snatched away her phone.Kisa scowled at him angrily. He was not in a hurry to talk on the phone. Instead, he waited patiently for Ariella to finish ranting on the other side.Gilbert only spoke when she finished ranting."I'm Gilbert Kooper. We suspect your assistant used GK Pictures's reputation for a publicity stunt. We are in the midst of interrogation, but don't worry. I'll arrange for a temporary assistant as a substitute."Ariella was shocked. She was silent for a while before she replied again with a polite voice, "A-Alright Mr. Kooper. I didn't expect you to pick up the phone. I-I was..."Gilbert hung up impatiently.After Gilbert hung up, Kisa said angrily, "What are you doing? You restricting my movements is bad enough, but now you're interfering with my work as well. Who do you think you are, trying to control my life?""I am Gilbert Kooper, your husband.""Heh. My husband?" Kisa found those words very ironic.While t
The warmth in his hands was shockingly hot, and it was obviously not at normal body temperature."Gilbert..."She looked over and noticed that Gilbert's cheeks were unusually red.'Does he have a fever?'At that thought, Kisa quickly pulled her hand back.'What should I do? He's having a fever and it isn't just any normal fever.'"Don't leave me. Don't..."He held on tightly to her hands and kept mumbling the same words. She was not sure if he had mistaken her for someone else.Off the top of her head, she assumed he mistook her as Sara or the mother of his two kids.She had the urge to pull back her hands, but Gilbert's grip was too tight. There was no use fighting it.Fortunately, she noticed his phone on the bedside table.She quickly took it and contacted Kelvin.The first call went to voice message, so she tried calling again.At that point, it was already past ten. She was not sure whether he was already asleep.Then, her call went through.Kelvin sounded annoyed,
