Chapter 614 Don’t Hop Around
Mia’s eyes were red with resentment. “It is all because of you. If you hadn’t forced Jensen to go out and look for him, Jensen wouldn’t have gone missing. If Gilbert comes back and Jensen is missing, I bet you are going to feel guilty for the rest of your life.”
Madalyn covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably, looking pitiful and hateful.
Adrien glanced slyly at Madalyn, the corners of his lips curled up in mockery.
Peter suddenly pulled Mia over. “Come on, Mrs. Kooper Sr. is sad enough. Can you not add salt to injury? Besides, if Gilbert can come back, why not Jensen? In your mind, is Jensen not as capable as Gilbert?”
“Jensen is certainly just as capable as Gilbert. I’m just pissed off.”
“Okay, I know you are angry, but you are not going to skin Mrs. Kooper Sr. alive, are you?”
“Absolutely.” Davian chimed in and said to Mia, “Mrs. Kooper Sr. is at least Jensen’s grandmother. If you rebuke her like this, Jensen will not be happy if he finds out.”
“Heh, Jensen’s grandmother?” Mia sneered, “When did she treat Jensen like her own grandson? To her, she has only one grandson, and that is Gilbert.”
“It’s not like that…” Madalyn wanted to say something, but words were stuck in her throat.
She sobbed for a while before saying, “Jensen is just as important to me.”
“Hmph!” Mia snorted.
“Come on, we are all anxious, and Mrs. Kooper Sr. was even more than us. Let’s wait for the blizzard to stop,” Adrien said to Mia.
“I’m not hopping around. I’m-”
“We are on our own now, and if you get yourself hurt before the blizzard stops, you will only become a burden. “He was both reproachful and disgusted.
Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. Her joy of having collected so much firewood died down instantly.
Gilbert looked up at her and pursed his lips. “All right, I’m not blaming you. I just hope your foot gets better soon, so we can get out easily.”
Kisa still said nothing, her head hung low, and Gilbert could not quite see her face.
He took all the firewood from her. Then he held her hands and rubbed them in his palms. “Why are your hands so cold? I told you to put my coat on, but you didn’t listen. What if you get sick?”
