    Chapter 1543


    As Kisa started to walk away, she was suddenly pulled back into ce.


    Gilbert firmly held her hand once again, addressing Sara. “You were injured while saving me, so in a


    way, I owe you my life. Tell me what you want. If it’s within my means. I’ll give it to you.’


    Sara’s voice caught in her throat, her expression growing even more heart wrenching. Tears streamed


    down her face as she asked him, “Do you really believe I saved you just to receive something in


    return? After all these years, haven’t you figured out how I feel about you?”


    “Initially, you helped me. Later, to save you from trouble, I became your boyfriend in name only. You


    know very well that we never shared a deeper connection,” he recounted.


    Back in school, he had identally misced the birthday gift Kisa had given him. Sara found it, and


    to show his gratitude, he promised to do her a favor. Not long after, she asked him to be her


    boyfriend in name only, iming she was overwhelmed by her numerous admirers, which affected her


    studies. He had initially refused, but after overhearing Kisa and Jensen’s conversation under a tree, he


    mistakenly believed Kisa had ulterior motives for trying to please him. In a fit of anger, he agreed to be


    Sara’s nominal boyfriend.


    Time flew by, and he never imagined that Sara would still be fixated on that verbal agreement. When


    she disappeared years ago, he mistakenly thought it was Kisa’s doing and was filled with guilt, which


    led him to search for Sara relentlessly. He did not harbor any romantic feelings for Sara, and this


    should have been rified long ago. 1


    With a distant gaze, he looked at the woman before him.


    “I’ll give you a sum of money. Use it to live your life to the fullest.”


    “No. I can’t…” Sara sobbed, her voice cracking with heartache, “I can’t live without you. These past


    years have been a living hell for me, and I’ve only clung to life to see you again. If I don’t have you,


    what is the point of living?”


    Gilbert’s face sank. He turned to Kelvin and said, “Take her back home. Her injuries should heal soon.


    You don’t have to go out of your way to treat her anymore. Focus on spending time with Gracie


    instead.”

    Kelvin nodded, then tugged at Sara. ’Let’s go. Gilbert married years ago, and even his children have


    already grown up. It’s time for you to move on.”


    “Enough! All of you are so happy now, except for me, just me…” Sara’s voice trembled as she pointed


    at Kisa. “She caused the death of so many people, even your loved ones. How can she still be happy?


    The death of your parents, your grandmother-”


    “Enough!” Gilbert roared, his voice thundering with anger. He looked at Kisa’s pale face, worry


    flickering in his eyes. When he turned to Sara, his gaze was sharp and icy.


    “I’m warning you, not another word.”


    “Why not? It’s all true.’


    Kisa spoke up, her voice shaky. ’You two should talk this out. I… I want to go upstairs.” She lowered


    her head, trying to pry her hand from Gilbert’s tight grip.


    Seeing this, Kelvin quickly said, “Yeah, I think you both need to have a serious talk. Kisa doesn’t look


    too well. I will take her upstairs to check on her.”


    Gilbert stared intently at Kisa, watching her struggle to free her hand.


    He silently sighed, finally releasing her hand and whispered, “Get some rest and don’t overthink.”


    “Okay,’ Kisa mumbled in response, her head lowered as she walked toward the apartment. Kelvin


    hurriedly followed her.
