Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 566

Chapter 566 Scalding

Perhaps because of the pain from the scald on her legs or the slippery floor, Kisa failed to get up twice.

Sharon, sitting across the table, took the opportunity to taunt her. "Ms. Becker, you're really delicate; a sprained ankle has taken so long to heal."

Kisa smiled at her calmly. "Yes, I'm not delicate, just that my body is so weak that even a minor injury takes a long time to heal."

"You're so pretentious!" Mia, sitting next to Sharon, could not help but mock.

Kisa was not angry, as she was used to hearing Mia's taunts. And when Sharon heard Mia say the same thing about Kisa, she was even more triumphant and sneered at Kisa blatantly. "This beautiful woman is right; you are really pretentious. If I remember correctly, you have been like this since you were a child, making a mountain out of a molehill for a minor injury. You were in a wheelchair two days ago, so why not today? Is it because it will catch too much attention? If you were really afraid of attracting too much attention, you wouldn't have changed into a cane. A cane is not much more discreet than a wheelchair." "Well, you are right about everything." Kisa smiled at her and was not angry. "So, are you done? I will be upstairs if you are done. Enjoy your meal."

Sharon appeared to be stunned, not expecting such a calm reaction from Kisa. "Look at her attitude; she is so arrogant." After a while, she looked at Mia, thinking she was on the same side as her. But Mia was just busy eating her food and ignored her. So Sharon

gritted her teeth and shot a glance at Kisa as she went upstairs.

Madalyn looked at Sharon and then at Emma, kneading her forehead, seemingly regretting bringing these two women along. Adrien leaned back in his chair to smoke with a smile while Gilbert silently took care of the children as they ate, as if anything that happened at the table had nothing to do with him.

Lea and Jensen helped Kisa to go upstairs together. The villa was large, with many rooms. So Adrien had arranged for each of them a room. Kisa's room was at the end of the hallway with a magnificent view from the window.

After entering the room, Kisa asked Jensen to leave. "I'm fine after getting changed. Please tell Mr. Tanner I'm full and thank him for his hospitality."

Jensen glanced at the large soup stain on her lap. He wanted to say something, but words were stuck in his throat. After getting out of Kisa's room, he did not go downstairs but leaned against the window at the end of the hallway and smoked. He did not understand why Adrien had invited Gilbert and Kisa to the spa, but he felt that something bad was going to happen on this trip. Jensen looked up at the ceiling, remembering Adrien's smile just now, and frowned. 'What exactly are you up to this time?' he asked in his mind.

"Aah, Kisa, your leg!" Lea could not help exclaiming in shock when she saw a large part of Kisa's skin had been scalded after she pulled down her jeans. The scald was so obvious on her fair skin. The good thing was that there were no blisters.

"You go get me a basin of cold water."

Lea scrambled to the bathroom and returned with a basin of cold water. Kisa soaked a towel in cold water and put it on her leg. It did not hurt too much at first, but the pain grew intense after a while. Lea said anxiously, "I will ask Mr. Tanner if he has any medication for the burn."

Kisa shook her head. "It is alright. This is a resort, and it is nighttime. Where are we going to replace scalding medication? Let's not bother anyone." "But your leg..."

"It is okay. It is not blistered, and it is going to heal in a while."

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Before Kisa could stop her, Lea went to answer the door. Kisa scrambled to look for something to cover her leg.
