Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 981

Chapter 981 I'll Never Get Better

"You like me?" Gilbert stared at Kisa with a deep gaze and asked again, feeling diffident. Kisa nodded numbly. At that moment, Gilbert no longer doubted anything. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. He untied the straps on her nightgown with his huge hands.

The Latin phrase, "In vino veritas," meaning "In wine, there is truth," was true. Kisa telling Gilbert that she liked him was the truth. However, no matter how deep her love for him was when they were younger, it could still not diminish the hatred she now had toward him, deep in her heart.

The next day, Kisa felt like her head was about to explode when she woke. She struggled to get up, and only when the blanket slipped off did she notice the hickeys on her body. She held onto her head in discomfort, trying to recall what had happened last night. She had been in an entanglement with Gilbert for a long time.

She vaguely remembered that Gilbert had asked her some questions, but she could not remember exactly what those questions had been. 'I hope he did not ask me about Jensen and the fire. Otherwise, there's a high chance that I would have truthfully expressed all my thoughts and hatred for him.'

Kisa thumped her head in frustration. 'I can't get drunk in front of him next time. The alcohol tasted mild, but who knew it would be so strong,' she thought as she

continued to suffer from a pounding headache.

She then staggered into the living room after washing up. She found Gilbert had already cooked her a hangover meal that was on the dining table.

There was also a note there.

[Remember to eat up when you wake. I'll pick you up on set after you finish work today.]

Kisa Igoked at the note in silence. She stared at the heavy handwriting on it, and the corners of her lips twitched indifferently.

'I guess he didn't ask me about those questions after all. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so considerate today,' she thought. The hangover meal was still warm, which meant Gilbert had not been gone for long. Kisa took the food and ate it all in one bite. Lastly, she threw the note into the trash.

Jolina, who was usually the most diligent of the cast, was the last one to arrive on set today. She was late by a full hour, and even the director scolded her.

During their lunch break, Kisa found Jolina in a remote corner on set. She was

staring blankly at the pond not far away. Jolina was only in her early twenties, but there was no sign of energy on her face at that moment. She even looked a little pale.

Kisa quickly walked over and said, "Jolina, are you okay?" Hearing Kisa's voice, Jolina turned her head like a robot and slowly collected her scattered gaze. After a while, Jolina smiled faintly at Kisa and replied, "I'm fine."

Kisa sat beside her and found that there were bruises all over her wrists and elbows. The skin exposed around the collar of her shirt was also covered in red marks. Before this, she was not close with Jolina for her to ask about private matters. But now... Kisa hurriedly grabbed Jolina's hand and anxiously asked, "What happened? Was it Peter?"

"It's nothing," Jolina withdrew her hand and murmured. "I fell." After saying that, she looked down and stared at her toes again. It was as if she was trying to convince both herself and Kisa of that. "It'll never get better, will it? I'll never get better," she mumbled to herself.

Kisa could not help but feel slightly distressed when she saw her like that. But as an outsider, she did not know how to help her.

After filming was over in the evening, Jolina left in a hurry, as if she was trying to get away from Peter. Sure enough, as soon as she left, Peter appeared on set. The man's eyes were searching all over the set, and the look of anger slowly arose on his handsome face. Seeing the man walking toward the back door, Kisa sighed softly and hurriedly tailed him.
