Chapter 1489
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?"
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.
