Kisa tenderly wiped away the mud and grime from Gilbert''s hands and face with a warm, damp towel.
Finishing her task, she held his hand tightly and whispered, "It''s over now. Everything''s going to be
okay. Ada''s safe too. If you''re exhausted, just close your eyes and rest. I''ll be here, watching over you."
Gilbert remained silent, but he dutifully closed his eyes. She ced a gentle kiss on his forehead and
left the room, her heart heavy with concern for her shaken daughter.
Davian and George wereforting the children when she entered the room. Davian, anxiety etched
on his face, asked, "Is Mr. Kooper alright?"
Kisa shook her head. "His injuries aren''t life-threatening, but he hasn''t uttered a word." George''s lips
tightened, as if sensing something deeper. Kisa cast her gaze downward, asking, "When his parents
were taken from him, was the scene anything like this?
Outside, a torrential downpour raged on, the thunder''s roar and lightning''s sh heightening the
palpable unease. ke and
Andrew clung to each other on the bed, while Ada found sce in George''s arms. Kisa approached,
lifting Ada into her own embrace, and looked at George.
With a heavy heart, George nodded. "Yes, on that fateful night when Mr. Kooper''s parents met their
tragic end, the rain poured down just like tonight. He was drenched in blood, just as he was today—
except back then, it was his mother''s blood."
Kisa''s heart constricted, her lip quivering with sorrow. ''If only his parents hadn''t suffered such a cruel
fate, his childhood could have been filled with happiness.'' A crushing wave of guilt washed over her,
making it difficult to breathe.
Noticing her pain, George offered reassurance. "You mustn''t torment yourself with thoughts of the past.
You can''t me yourself for what happened back then, and Mr. Kooper would never hold you
responsible either."
Kisa held her daughter tightly, her voice stolen by sorrow. Andrew and ke, sensing her heartache,
approached with their tiny arms outstretched. They wrapped around her, offeringfort in their
innocent embrace. Kisa smiled through her tears, overwhelmed by guilt. Gilbert would not me her,
but she could not help ming herself. She had hoped to forget the past, to extract the thorn buried
deep within her heart and live a joyous life with Gilbert. But now, she realized that the thorn was
immovable, no matter the effort.

to terrible dreams.

her arm around his waist, holding him close. Burying her face in the warmth of his neck, her voice
trembled. "I want nothing more than to spend the rest of our days together, in happiness. I''m so sorry
for your parents'' deaths. If I could, I would erase my existence to spare you this pain."
Her voice broke,den with the weight of guilt and sorrow.
Blinking back her tears, she smiled at him and whispered, "Can we forget the heartache and misery?
Can we live out the rest of our lives in love, raising our three children? When I die... I''ll beg your
parents for forgiveness in the afterlife, kneeling before them in atonement.”
As Kisa looked into his face, herughter mingled with tears.
"If you stay silent, I''ll take that as your agreement." And with that, she nestled into his embrace, resting
her head on his shoulder, willing herself to find peace in slumber.
Throughout, Gilbert''s eyes remained sealed shut, his brow knitted tightly with torment. Trapped in a
nightmare he could not escape, he eventually let out a tortured whisper.
"Blood, it''s all blood... No, Mom... No. There''s so much blood… Don''t leave me, please don''t..."
