Reborn Through Fire

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.

“Mrs. Kooper, you will stay in this room from now on.”

The way George addressed her stunned kisa. It had been so long since anyone had called her Mrs. Kooper that she had forgotten she was Gilbert Kooper’s rightful wife.

“I’m no longer Mrs. Kooper, George.”

He shook his head with a sad face. “My eyes failed me, and I didn’t recognize you that day. In

fact, as long as you and Mr. Kooper have not yet divorced, you are still Mrs. Kooper, no matter what.”

George was a long-time family butler for the Kooper family and used to run errands for Mrs. Kooper Sr., whose real name was Madalyn Walker. Because Madalyn had always been fond of Kisa, George was also nice to her. She gripped the doorknob tightly, lowered her eyes, and asked in a soft voice, “How is Mrs. Kooper Sr. now?” George shook his head. “Same as always, showing no signs of waking up.” Kisa gasped and just felt sad inside. ‘Mrs. Kooper Sr. is such a nice person. Why did she become like this?’ “Don’t you hate me, George?” she asked in a low voice. George shook his head again. “I don’t believe you could do something like that.”

Kisa suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh. Even George believed her, but Gilbert didn’t.

She walked into the room and felt so sad when she found everything was still so familiar. This used to be the bedroom of she and Gilbert after their marriage, but Gilbert had never set foot in it. But the strange thing was that after five years, this room was still in its original furnishings, everything exactly the same as five years ago. It seemed to her that in the five years she had been away, the man still did not live in this room. ‘Heck! He hates me so much that he doesn’t want to get on my scent.’ The bathroom was filled with steam as Kisa stared at her unfamiliar self in the mirror and laughed at herself. The person in the mirror looked miserably pale, her already small face thin and horribly ugly, with sparse bangs stuck together, revealing the horrific scar on the forehead. She looked even more frightening now than she did before. She wondered if Andrew and Ada would be scared when they saw her.

Kisa quickly finished her shower because she could not wait to see Andrew. When she wanted to change her clothes, only did she realize she had brought none. And she had no idea that the first thing, Gilbert would make her do after she got here would be to take a shower. She looked at the dirty clothes on the floor drenched in water and did not know what to do. In desperation, she checked the closet in the bathroom, hoping there would be a few robes or something inside. As she opened the closet, she froze.
