Chapter 677 Leave You in the Village

“What are you doing?” Kisa was puzzled.

Gilbert said nothing, just preyed open her hand and then stared at the scar in her palm. The vine badly scuffed her palm when she pulled Gilbert out of the cave. The scar looked scary, but it was just a superficial injury. She recuperated at home, and it had healed quickly. Now, only some scars were left. Had Gilbert not looked at the scars now, she would have almost forgotten about it.

She pulled her hand back and said, “It’s nothing. It has already fully healed.”

Gilbert looked Kisa in the eyes and was just about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

“The takeout must have arrived, right?” Kisa asked subconsciously.

“Sit tight. I will check it out,” Gilbert said.

He was very cautious. He peeped through the peephole before opening the door, and even then, he only opened it ajar. Before long, he returned with a bag of snacks and some packed food.

Kisa glanced at the door to ensure it was bolted before asking, “You are also afraid that something might happen?”

Gilbert nodded, put the food on the coffee table, then sat across from Kisa and unpacked the food. “Don’t you think it is strange that all prison personnel involved have disappeared one by one?”

Kisa stared at him with a frown. She felt it strange if he was not behind the fire and the disappearance of the prison officers. After all, she could not think of anyone other than him who could pull those off.

Gilbert pushed a bowl of chowder and a pack of sandwiches in front of Kisa. “Anyway, we had better be careful along the way.”

Kisa nodded. Her appetite returned when she saw the dainty sandwiches. She picked two up and finished them in just a few bites. “How long will it take us to reach the mountain village at this rate?”

“Three days,” Gilbert ordered pasta and a few side dishes. He seemed hungry and ate half of them in a few bites.

Kisa quietly pushed the food to him. “No matter what, I must be back by the 15th.”

“Got it. Don’t make it sound like I will leave you in the mountain village.” Gilbert gave her a look.

Kisa pursed her lips and stopped talking as she continued to eat the sandwiches, which tasted fantastic.

There were two bedrooms in the suite so they could have their own separate room. Kisa went straight to bed after the meal. Gilbert was tired after driving all afternoon, so he did not stay in the living room for long as well. After the meal, he cleaned up the coffee table and went to bed. Kisa could not sleep well in the hotel room, probably because she did not feel safe. She was obviously tired, but she just could not fall asleep. Besides, her stomach was unbearably bloated, and she wondered if her time of the month was coming.

Kisa tossed and turned in bed, feeling irritable as hell. Not after a long while was she finally about to fall asleep, but a faint noise woke her up. The noise was not loud, and the tingling sound came intermittently as if the shower curtain in the bathroom was fluttering in the wind and hitting something. There was a solid rod at the bottom of the curtain, and if the rod hit the wall, it would make a sound like this. She wondered if the window in the bathroom was left open. She took her shower in the large

bathroom in the living room just now and so paid little attention to the small bathroom in the room. The rattling sound annoyed her.

The bathroom was diagonally across from her bed, and the bathroom glass sliding door was not fully shut, leaving a gap of about half an inch. The room was not completely dark because she did not draw the curtains all the way, as she felt safer with light coming into the room. She sat up and was about to check if the window in the bathroom was left open when she suddenly realized something was not right.
