Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1442
Blake could not help but feel a twinge of sadness as he watched his siblings snuggle up to Kisa and call her “Mommy”. He
longed to do the same, but he was too afraid of what might happen if he acknowledged his biological parents. His godparents
had warned him that it could put everyone in danger, and while he did not understand why, he did not want to take any chances.
But then Ada tugged on his hand and beamed up at him. “Blake, you can call her Mommy too! We’re all Mommy’s good
children.”
Blake looked at Kisa.
Kisa nodded in agreement. “Yes, Blake. You can call me Mommy if you want to.”
For a moment, Blake hesitated, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. But then he shook his head.” Ma’am is enough for me.”
Kisa thought he was missing his biological mother, and without pressing him further, she reached out and gently ran her hand
over his hair.
“Blake, we all care about you. You can talk to us about anything that is bothering you.”
Andrew put his arm around Blake’s shoulder, looking like a protective older brother. “That’s right,”
he said with a warm smile.
Blake looked up at them and said with a deep nod, “I love you guys too.”
Kisa gathered the children in a warm embrace. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she felt her maternal instincts kicking into
overdrive these few days. After putting the child to sleep, it was already ten o’clock. She stood in the empty room for a while,
struggling to suppress the urge to go
and find Gilbert.
He did not want to see her now, so she thought she should avoid angering him. She closed the door behind her and headed
toward the bed, when suddenly she heard running water coming from the bathroom. Kisa shuddered and quickly turned around
to look in the bathroom.

There was a tall figure imprinted on the frosted glass door, and it was not anyone other than Gilbert. She felt a wave of joy in her
heart, but then remembered that his arm was injured, and he could not touch water. She hurried to the bathroom door and
knocked, but there was no response. Perhaps the sound of water was too loud, drowning out the sound of her knocking.
Kisa knocked again and shouted, “Gilbert, are you in there?”
Still, no answer came. She tried to turn the door handle, but it would not budge. The door was locked from the inside. She
pursed her lips and turned to leave Suddenly, she heard the door opening behind her. She did not have time to react before a
strong force pulled her into the bathroom.
In the mist of steam, she was pushed against the cold and damp wall by the man. His eyes were bloodshot, and she could smell
the strong scent of alcohol on him. He had been drinking heavily Gilbert was shirtless, and she saw his arm covered in bloody
bandages. Her heart sank.
“Why did you remove the bandages and let water get into the wound? What if it gets infected?”
Kisa said anxiously as she held his arm, intending to treat the wound.
Gilbert harshly shook her hand off and pushed her against the wall. His voice was hoarse and sinister. “Do you really care about
me?”
Kisa nodded vigorously. “Yes, I do care about you. Come on, let me help you apply medicine.”
“Hehehe...” Gilbert suddenly laughed, with a hint of drunkenness and a frightening malice. “Do you care about me? That is
probably the most fake thing I have ever heard.”
“Gilbert...hiss!” Kisa felt a sudden sharp pain as Gilbert fiercely covered her lips. This was not a kiss. He was angry and almost
biting her. Kisa tasted the metallic taste of blood, which made her stomach churn with nausea.
