Chapter 1529

After their sibling connection came to light, Peter felt a bit awkward around Kisa.

However, Kisa's open-hearted nature and genuine concern for his injuries helped bridge the gap.

She began sharing stories about their mother with him.

Peter eagerly absorbed every detail, craving the maternal love he'd missed out on.

He bombarded Kisa with questions about their mother, asking if she was kind, if she treated Kisa well, and if she'd ever mentioned him.

Kisa shared all her memories and told Peter about a photo album of their mother, promising to show it to him once they returned home.

Three days later, Kisa planned to leave the village.

During that time, Jolina had taken care of Peter, and his misfortune had surprisingly brought them closer together.

Peter initially intended to leave with Kisa, but his injured leg forced him to stay and recover.

On departure day, Jolina and Peter accompanied Kisa to the village entrance to catch a ride.

Peter, concerned, said, "Can't you wait for me? When I'm better, we can go back together."

Kisa shook her head: "I don't know how Madalyn and Gilbert are doing. Every day I'm here is agonizing. Once everything is taken care of, I'll come back and stay for a while. At that time, I hope for a warm welcome from you, Jolina."

"Of course, you'll be welcomed," Jolina said, embracing her, reluctant to let go.

"Take care and be safe."

"You both take care, too," Kisa replied.

The village was a short three-hour drive from Calthon's city center.

Kisa arrived in the city center a little after 2 pm, greeted by bright sunlight.

She tried calling Gilbert from a payphone, but there was no answer.

With no other options, she took a cab directly to the Kooper residence.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

She turned around to see Mia standing not far away.

Mia took her to a Lyonnaise cuisine restaurant.

"These are all safe for pregnant women to eat. Go ahead and dig in."

Kisa frowned at her.

"How did you know I had come?" Mia smiled.

"After the explosion, you must have been worried about the Kooper family's situation. But Jensen had suppressed all the news about the family and the explosion, so you couldn't replace any information.I knew you'd come to the Kooper to check. And Jensen...he's waiting for you here."

"What do you mean?"

Mia laughed self-deprecatingly, You don't know yet, do you? Jensen has changed completely.David worked so hard to seize the Kooper family's fortune to give to Peter, but Jensen took it all. He's become ruthless. Not only does he want the fortune, but he also wants you."

In other words, Jensen controlled all of the Kooper family's assets and the mansion.

Kisa anxiously asked, "What happened to Mrs. Kooper Sr., Gilbert, and David?"

Mia paused her tea-drinking.

She put down her teacup and spoke softly, "Gilbert's fine, but David's paralyzed, and Mrs. Kooper Sv...she's dead."

"What?"

Kisa's cup fell from her hands as she asked, her face pale, "Dead?"

"Yes, she died on the spot," Mia said, looking at her sympathetically.

"I advise you not to look for Gilbert now. Find a place to stay where nobody knows you, and then..."

"Where is he now?"

"He may not want to see you. After all, he despises you. His parents and grandma died because of you. Despite the misunderstandings, that's an undeniable fact."

Mia's words struck Kisa like a dagger to her heart.

The chasm between Kisa and Gilbert had only grown wider.

Three lives were now lost — the people he cherished the most.

Reluctantly, Mia revealed Gilbert's whereabouts at Kisa's insistence. He had been staying with Kelvin since the explosion.

Kelvin owned several luxurious villas, and this new one was challenging to locate without Mia's guidance.

As Kisa entered the courtyard, a frosty voice met her ears.
