"Peter!" Kisa exclaimed in shock.

Suddenly, Mr.Webb Sr. and Thomas came rushing out.

"What in tarnation is going on here? Someone come and get help, quick!" Mr.Webb Sr. shouted frantically at the servants.

Within moments, several of them ran out and carried Peter inside.

Thomas looked at Kisa, seeming unsure of what to say.

After a long pause, he walked over to her and Gilbert, apologizing, "I'm sorry. Peter hasn't been in the best state of mind lately. Please forgive him. I'll call a doctor for Mr.Kooper's injury."

"No need," Gilbert replied coolly, then took Kisa by the arm and led her inside.

Thomas hesitated, as if wanting to call Kisa back, but Mr.Webb Sr. stopped him.

"You'd better keep Peter's background to yourself. I don't want to be known as a man who can't keep his word," Mr.Webb Sr. whispered sternly.

"But Mrs.Kooper really wants to find her brother."

"That's her business, and you'd better not say a word."

Back in the room, Kisa quickly fetched some alcohol and gauze to treat the wound on Gilbert's neck. It was not deep, so she cleaned it with alcohol, applied some ointment, and stopped the bleeding.

"I'm sorry for getting you hurt," Kisa said, her voice sounding muffled as she hung her head.

Gilbert glanced at her and sneered.

"You wanted me dead, didn't you? No need to act all sorry now."

Kisa looked up at him, wanting to say something, but he suddenly stood up.

"You go ahead and get some rest.I need to go out for a bit."

"It's late. Where are you going?"

Kisa asked reflexively, but Gilbert did not answer.He just grabbed his coat from the couch and left.

Kisa stared at the empty room, feeling uneasy.

The snowy night felt endless, and she did not fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning.

Then she had a nightmare, in which Gilbert was covered in blood.She struggled to wake up from the terrifying dream, feeling even more anxious.

The room was brightly lit, and she could see the snow-covered yard through the gap in the curtains.

There were several servants shoveling snow outside as Thomas supervised them.

The snowfall last night had been really heavy.

‘But why did Gilbert go out last night? What was he doing?’ Remembering the blood from her dream, Kisa's heart tightened. She hesitated for a moment before dialing Gilbert's number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable..."

Kisa furrowed her brow, her anxiety growing stronger by the second.

Just then, an unfamiliar number called her.She answered it quickly, and it was Jolina's voice on the other end.

"Hey, Kisa, Mr.Kooper arranged for two guys to take me back."

Kisa was surprised.

"He arranged two guys for you:"

"Yeah, I'm about to leave now.Don't worry about me, and please thank Mr.Kooper for me."

"Wait!" Kisa exclaimed.

"Just hold on for a second. I'm coming to find you."

She hung up the phone and quickly changed into more appropriate clothing. As she was heading downstairs, she ran into Thomas.

"How is Peter doing?" she asked.

"He woke up last night and is doing better," Thomas replied.

"He's just not very talkative and has been cooped up in his room all day." Kisa pursed her lips.

"Take good care of him, okay?" she said before leaving.

She arrived at the small hotel where Jolina was staying, and Jolina was already waiting at the door.

Jolina was wearing a thick down jacket, a hat, and a scarf that only revealed her eyes.

Her eyes were bright, and Kisa recognized her at first glance.

She walked quickly toward her, and then looked at the two bodyguards behind her.

"Gilbert sent you guys?"
