Chapter 706 Do Something Else That'll Help With Sleep

Suddenly, Gilbert pulled Kisa to his chest.

"You'll replace out tomorrow, so why worry so much?"

"But I feel uneasy. Something has been feeling amiss throughout our journey. Something's wrong, but I can't seem to put my finger on it."

"I think you're overthinking because you're too anxious. Why don't..." Gilbert said as he gazed shifted to the

neckline of her shirt, "We do something else? It'll help with sleep."

The man smirked naughtily as he continued peering at the neckline of her shirt. There was a fire in his eyes that looked feral and came with a hint of suggestiveness.

Kisa took a deep breath before shoving him away. Then, she turned her back to him.

'I'm trying to tell him something serious, but he's always thinking about such things; we're on completely different channels,' she thought.

The smile on Gilbert's face dropped a little.

Then, he lay flat and cushioned his arm at the back of his head.

'She's feeling uneasy, but so am I. Right now, I can't even guarantee that the two jailers will speak the truth tomorrow. After all, a group of mysterious people appeared to save them. Not knowing what the mysterious people are up to makes me feel unconfident. It took me a lot to convince this woman to agree to go back the way we used to, so tomorrow, I need to prove that I'm innocent no matter what it takes,' thought Gilbert.

It may have been because of the warmth under the covers, but Kisa slept comfortably through the night.

The room was bright when she woke up. Streams of blinding sunlight were shining in from the battered window.

Kisa stared at the window and zoned out for a while before being reminded of Gilbert.

She turned to her side to realize that he was long gone. Even the sheets were cold to her touch.

'Gilbert must've woken up a long time ago,' thought Kisa.

She glanced at the time. It was nearly nine o'clock.

While hugging the blankets, she sat up and grabbed the sweater at the end of the bed. Then, she threw on the sweater.

Suddenly, Kisa heard a scream of terror.

She trembled in fear.

She sped up her pace and quickly finished putting on her clothes.

Then, she hurriedly ran out of the room. However, the was no one in the living room.

The scream came from the room on the left, and that was the room where the two jailers were staying.

Kisa quickly ran toward the room on the left. Just as she got to the door, someone grabbed her waist and pulled her into their embrace.

Kisa turned around in panic. She came to the realization that it was Gilbert who was holding her.

"What happened?"

Kisa asked in a tense voice while peering into the room.

Only the edge of the curtain was lifted. Kisa could only see the messy bedding and nothing else.

However, it was obvious the two jailers were inside. They kept on shrieking as if they were terrified of something.

Gilbert narrowed her eyes slightly, "They just woke up, so they're not exactly emotionally stable. Wait for a

while. We'll go in once they've calmed down."

Kisa nodded.

'That's the only option,' she thought.

"Don't kill me. All of you, go. I don't know anything;

don't kill me."

"It's been six years. We really don't know anything, so don't kill us."

Behind the curtains, the two jailers mumbled in fear.

Kisa turned to Gilbert. He had an incredibly tense expression.

She pursed her lips and tugged on Gilbert's sleeve, "Let's go outside. Your subordinates have spent a couple of days with the jailers, so they're more acquainted with them. Let them console the jailers." "That's right, Mr. Kooper. You and Ms. Becker can wait outside."

Gilbert did not move. Instead, he gazed at the curtain darkly.

Kisa had no choice but to drag him out forcefully.

Even though it was still during the day, the village was still quiet. It seemed like there were not many people who were staying in the village.

Gilbert stood beneath the eave and lit a cigarette in annoyance.

Kisa peered into the house before walking up to him, They're scared... of you, right?"

"I

Gilbert's expression promptly darkened. Then, he gazed at her icily.
