    Kisa''s heart plummeted, recognizing that Gilbert was trapped in a childhood nightmare. Desperate to


    help him, she called out, " Gilbert, please wake up! Gilbert!" He thrashed about, sweat drenching his


    forehead, his face twisted in agony and terror. Kisa clung to his hand, urgently whispering, "Gilbert,


    wake up. These are just dreams. You''ll be okay once you wake up. Please, wake up!"


    "Mom!" Gilbert suddenly screamed, bolting upright in bed.


    Heaving for breath, his muscr frame quivered. Kisa''s heart shattered as she reached out to soothe


    him. "It''s okay. Everything''s okay now—"


    "Don''t touch me!" Gilbert snarled; his voice raw with emotion. His fiery eyes bore into her, seething with


    hatred. Kisa froze, her hand hovering in the air, fear gripping her as she did not dare touch him.Her


    heart bled, but she could not me him. ''It''s my fault; my very existence has stolen his parents. He has


    every reason to despise me. '' She told herself in her mind.


    Suddenly, Gilbert appeared to snap back to reality. He clutched his head, tormented murmursced


    with self-loathing escaping his lips. "What am I doing? I shouldn''t me you. It''s not your fault."


    Tears cascaded down Kisa''s face as she watched him wrestle with his pain and guilt. The thorn lodged


    in their hearts seemed impossible to dislodge. Their recent days of harmony and affection now felt like


    an borate facade, crumbling before her eyes. His parents‘ death haunted him, and he strained to


    suppress his hatred. She knew he loved her deeply, yet he also hated her. Their rtionship was


    fractured by an abyss that seemed uncrossable, and despite his efforts to mask it, their rift was bound


    to explode.


    Kisa shivered, mustering a weak smile. "Let''s leave the past behind. Your future will be brighter and


    filled with happiness."All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    For some reason, her words sent Gilbert into a frenzy. He hastily pulled her into a fierce embrace,


    clutching her as if his life depended on it. Overwhelmed by guilt and confusion, a torrent of conflicting


    emotions threatened to unhinge him. Trembling, he choked out. "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean it. Please,


    don''t leave me."


    Kisa tenderly caressed his quivering back, offering him a reassuring smile. "I understand, and I don''t


    me you."


    "I''ll forget the painful past and bury that horrible night deep within my heart. We just have to never


    touch it; if we can avoid it, everything will be fine."


    Kisa''s smile belied her eyes, which were awash with profound sorrow and heartache.


    ‘How can everything be fine just by avoiding it? It''s an enduring nightmare for him, impossible to erase.


    My very presence intensifies his anguish and inner conflict.’


    She wiped away her tears, gently pushed him back, and soothed him with a smile.


    “Alright, we won''t touch it."


    Despite her words, Gilbert''s grip on her hand tightened, as if seeking sce.


    Kisa stroked his face, her voice trembling. "It''ste. Let''s sleep. I will stay with you, so you won''t have


    any more nightmares."


    He nodded, but could not bring himself to lie down, his dark eyes fixed unyieldingly on her.


    She sighed softly, pulling him close as theyy down together.


    " I''m tired. I need to sleep," she whispered.


    In silence, Gilbert enveloped her. "Sleep."


    Kisa nestled in his arms; her heart weighed down by overwhelming sorrow. She could feel the depth of


    his love and his consuming fear of losing her.


    ‘What could I possibly do? It wasn''t just anyone who perished in that tragic ident years ago; it was


    his beloved parents. My very existence only exacerbates his torment and internal strife.''


    Biting her lip to hold back the tears, she reached a heart - wrenching decision in the quiet depths of her


    soul.
