As Peter walked past Gilbert, he intentionally bumped into his shoulder, but Gilbert did not even flinch. That was enough to put Mr. Webb Sr.’s suspicions to rest.

He scolded Peter, “Hey son, watch where you’re going! Mr. Kooper is a guest, apologize to him.”

Peter sneered at Gilbert, then sat down at the dining table, looking extremely smug and defiant. Mr. Webb Sr. shook his head helplessly and apologized to Gilbert.

Gilbert just shrugged it off and said, “No worries. I sent his woman packing, and the fact he didn’t fight me was showing his respect for me.”

“Looks like Mr. Kooper here is a real gentleman, always forgiving and forgetting.” Mr. Webb Sr. chuckled as he led them to the dining table.

Gilbert eyed Peter with a thoughtful expression, his suspicions growing stronger by the second.

When they got back to the room, he was too weak to stand and leaned heavily on the cabinet next to the door. Kisa urgently pulled open his shirt to check the wound, and sure enough, the bandage was soaked with blood. She helped Gilbert sit on the sofa and searched for the first-aid kit in a hurry.

“We should go back to Calthon tomorrow,” she said.

Gilbert weakly smiled, “Are we leaving already? Have you achieved everything you wanted?”

Kisa focused on treating his wound and said after a long pause, “I came here mainly to find David, and now that we know Adrien is David, we don’t need to stay here any longer. Besides, we need to get your wound checked by Kelvin in Calthon.”

Gilbert looked at her and asked, “What about your brother? Aren’t you looking for him?”

Kisa hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said,” I’ll ask David when I see him. If it’s meant to be, I’ll find him eventually.”

Gilbert leaned back, the pain from his wound causing his brow to furrow. He stared at the woman in front of him without blinking, feeling as if she was shrouded in a mist that made it hard to see her clearly.

After a long while, he asked, “Now that you know ‘Adrien’ is really my uncle, what do you want to do?”

“I want to ask him what happened between him and my mother all those years ago, why he wanted to harm us. And I also want to pass on my mother’s final thoughts and feelings to him,” Kisa said firmly.

Gilbert looked at her for a long moment before nodding his head. “Alright, we’ll go back tomorrow.”

That evening, Kisa went to see Thomas. When she mentioned her mother’s bracelet to him, his face had an odd expression, making her suspect that he might be her long- lost brother. Though she had said she would not look for him anymore, in reality, she still wanted to find her brother before leaving.

“This is what the bracelet looks like, have you seen it before? ” She handed Thomas a photo of her mother.

Thomas glanced at it, a conflicted expression flashing in his eyes. After a long pause, he said, “I’ve seen this bracelet before. I have one too. My father said it was left behind by my mother.”

Kisa’s heart leaped with excitement, and she asked eagerly,” Where is the bracelet? Can I see it?”

Thomas nodded and turned to fetch a wooden box from the cupboard. She opened it and saw a bracelet, exactly like the one her mother wore in the photo.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Kisa’s tears flowed freely. “You really are my brother,” Kisa said softly as she held the bracelet carefully.

She looked at Thomas with a mix of joy, sadness, and aggrievement on her face.
