Reborn Through Fire novel Chapter 89

"You came down just in time. I cooked a bowl of noodles for you. You can eat it in the bedroom or in the dining room if you want," said Kisa.

"I think I'll have it in the bedroom," Kelvin replied with a smile.

"Alright, here you go," Kisa handed him the bowl of noodles and left.

Kelvin stopped her, "Actually, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

Kisa turned around to look at him and asked, "What is it?"

"Don't you hate Gilbert? His wound got infected last night which caused the fever, but you didn't have to worry. He could have fended for himself. Why did you—"

"How can I prove my innocence to him if he dies? How can I have him kneel before me, asking for repentance? How can I have him beg me to accept treatment from you?" Kisa said expressionlessly, as if she no longer had a heart.

Kelvin looked at her helplessly, "Are you sure that the time you have left is enough for you to achieve those things?"

"I'll try my best."

"You don't have to be so stubborn; you know. As long as I can prove to him that you're really dying, he'll surely let me begin your treatment."

Kisa laughed ironically at the sound of that idea, "Didn't you see how he humiliated me? He even told me that I deserved it if I got sick and died."

"Oh, you two..."

"I appreciate your kindness, but please don't tell him about my condition."

"Gross!" Gilbert exclaimed as he turned his back toward him.

"You sure? Kisa's the one who cooked it for me. It's so much better than the ones you buy on the market. Plus, you can't get them anywhere else," Kelvin said playfully. He tried to stifle his laughter after seeing Gilbert's lack of reaction. "Are you sure you don't want it? I'm going to finish it."

In the end, Gilbert sat up again and pointed his finger at the door, "Get out."

"Alright, alright. I'll leave once I finish this," Kelvin said before downing the remaining soup. He even licked his lips after finishing everything. "Yum, that was good. I'd have to come over hungry next time."

Gilbert frowned while looking at Kelvin. 'What is up with him today?' he wondered.

After Kelvin left, Gilbert's face was ashen as he glanced over to Kisa coldly.
