Her stubbornness, which used to be deeply ingrained, was now fully exposed, making her even colder and tougher. It left everyone around her utterly helpless.
Paul was at a loss and eventually let out a helpless sigh.N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Back when Ms. Stafford had feelings for Mr. Kallum, she was gentle and frail. However, in the face <i>of </i><i>Mr. </i>Kallum’s disdain and the problems caused by others, she demonstrated unexpected resilience. I already knew right from the start that Ms. Stafford had a tough side about her. While her edges had been dulled due to family circumstances, she was sharp at heart. It was this tenacity that allowed her to hold onto her affection for Mr. Kallum for eleven years without wavering. Despite the oppression from her stepmother, she remained exceptionally <i>bright</i>, and her brilliance shone unmatched in the field of medicine. It’s just a pity that Mr. Kallum is on the brink of <b>death</b>…
<b>A </b>glimmer of moisture appeared in Paul’s eyes at the thought of that.
Suddenly, a phone call came through. Paul wiped his eyes before answering the phone, only to be met with bad news from the very first sentence.
“Hurry back! Something happened to Mr. Kallum!”
“Understood!” The driver <b>instinctively </b>turned the car around, a hint of bewilderment in his voice. “How could something have happened to Mr. Kallum? Wasn’t it said that Mr. Kallum had at least a month’s time left?”
Paul remained silent as he had already figured out <b>what </b><b>was </b>going on.
At that moment, the Fairchild family was in a state of utter chaos.
Suddenly, Kallum began to vomit blood uncontrobly. Mirabelle was forcibly quarantined, <b>and </b>Kallum
ushed to the emergency room for immediate medical attention.
In the midst of chaos, upon hearing Paul’s return, Kallum, with his eyes closed, grabbed hold of Paul’s

“She…” Kallum mumbled weakly <b>as </b>he struggled to speak.
<b>Paul</b>, feeling sympathetic, sped his hand in return. “Please don’t worry, Mr. Kallum. I’ve asked the driver to take Ms. Stafford to the hospital…”
Upon hearing those words, Kallum suddenly opened his eyes. His dark purple irises momentarily lost focus, before finally settling intently on Paul.
“You’re lying…” His voice was so hoarse that it was barely audible.
<b>Paul</b>, left with no choice, admitted/with a choked voice, “Ms. Stafford refused to get in the car. She <b>wouldn’t </b>even <b>take </b>the umbre we offered<b>. </b>She chose to walk in the rain-
Before Paul could finish his words, Kallum coughed up another mouthful of blood.
With a single spurt of blood, the color drained dramatically from his face, making him look utterly
exhausted.
“Get out!” The sudden outburst from Shaun startled everyone. His annoyance <b>was </b>evident as he pushed

Shaun had someone rush Kallum into the emergency <b>room</b>, while simultaneously giving Paul a shove.
“How could you be so blunt, Paul? Mr. Kallum’s condition is so critical that he could die if he can’t pull through! Ss and Wanda are currently out seeking renowned doctors. If anything bad were to happen to Mr. Kallum before their return, are you able to bear that responsibility?”
After Kallum was rushed into the emergency room, he was still unconsciously calling out to Calista.
The doctor held his hand and lied by saying, “Don’t worry, Mr. Kallum. Ms. Stafford still cares for you. <b>As </b>long as you recover, you can be with her again.”
Kallum’s heart, however, seemed as if it had plunged into the darkest depths.
She won’t care about me anymore. Even <i>if </i><i>I </i>had revealed <i>the </i>truth to her, her feelings for me won’t return. She’s simply that resolute. She even smashed the ring I gave her….
Upon seeing Kallum’s rapidly declining heartbeat, the doctors grew frantic. At this rate, Kallum was certain to dic.
Suddenly, Quintus, who was on the edge of eagerness<b>, </b>carefully removed a chain from around Kallum’s neck. Hanging from the chain was a diamond ring.
Lostaria was known for its diamonds, and this pink diamond was the perfect engagement ring that Kallum had found. His original n was to propose as soon as he returned.
He did not intend to drive Calista away and force her to dislike him.
Quintus forcefully pressed the ring into Kallum’s hand <b>and </b>said repeatedly,
“Mr. Kallum, the thumb ring may be gone, but the wedding ring is <b>still </b>here! Weren’t you nning to marry Ms. Calista? Only if you survive, can you be with her!”
Unconsciously, Kallum clutched the ring tightly in his <b>grasp</b>, only Calista had the power t
to make him willingly let go of it.
Seeing that it was effective, Quintus quickly continued, “Mr. Kallum, there’s something I haven’t told you, out of <b>fear </b>of <b>causing </b>you worry. The truth is, Uriah’s abduction of Ms. Calista involved the Wolford family’s schemes. The entire Wolford family are nothing but despicable <b>viins</b>! If you were to die, Ms. Calista <b>would </b>surely be tormented by Harvey and Sterling! Ms. <b>Calista </b>may be formidable, but can she stand against such a powerful family? Mr. Kallum, can you bear to see her suffer? Who else but you can protect her?”
Every time Quintus spoke, the beat of Kallum’s heart intensified. Eventually, his heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
A nurse turned away to wipe her tears. Just how much affection must’ve been required for someone on the brink of death to fight for their life upon hearing their loved one was in danger?
Upon seeing Kallum’s strong will to live, all the doctors breathed <b>a </b>sigh of relief. Some of them even found themselves drenched in sweat, but they couldn’t stop now. This was only the <b>first </b>step, and they still had to <b>save </b>him.
Quintus stepped <b>back</b>, <b>his </b>eyes reddening with worry as he anxiously watched over <b>Kallum</b>.
He knew that Kallum would not dare to face death fore ensuring a secure future for Calista. As long as

he clung to life, there was hope. He <b>was </b>certain that Ss and the others would find a way to save Kallurn.
