Reborn Through Fire novel Chapter 25

He saw the woman holding the wall, coughing in pain.

Gilbert looked impatient and sneered. "When did you become so frail? I have said it many times; there is really no need to pretend in front of me. It won't work."

Kisa quietly wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, looking at him with a forced smile on her pale face. "When did you acquire such a sharp eye that you could tell I'm faking it every time?" Her mockery was obvious.

Gilbert snorted and got into the car.

Kisa calmed her breathing down and fought back the severe pain in her lungs as she walked over slowly. He started the car as soon as she got in. She was caught off guard and thrown back into the seat, causing her to cough violently. All that filled the cabin was the sound of her coughing.

Gilbert was annoyed. He sneered. "That is a realistic cough. Those who are uninformed would think you had a real lung disease."

Kisa clenched the hand at her side and tried hard to fight back the tingle in her throat. Her lungs hurt so much that it felt as if they were going to explode, but she could only grit her teeth and bear with it.

She then faked a smile and said, "Since you are the CEO of GK Pictures, I have got to showcase my acting skills in front of you. Who knows if you will see my talent and sign me up?"

"Heck!" Gilbert grunted and said nothing.

Kisa also stopped talking. But every time she wanted to cough, she covered her mouth tightly with her hand, trying desperately to fight back the urge to cough. She never wanted his sympathy. Never.

When they arrived at the Kooper residence and got out of the car, Kisa was eager to see Andrew.

"Where is Andrew?" she asked.

Gilbert saw the concern on her face and stared sarcastically at her. He always saw her concern as fake.

"Go take a shower and tidy up first. You will scare my son with this terrible appearance," he said.

Kisa had nothing to say. She did not need to look in the mirror to know how scary she looked at the moment. In order to see Andrew quickly, she cooperated and went upstairs with the family butler.
