“All right, for the next few days, try to move <b>as </b>little as possible and keep your wound dry.” Calista understood deeply just how little Kallum cared for <b>himself</b>. “If your wound reopens, I won’t let anyone bage it for you, understand?”
“I understand,” Kallum replied obediently.
Calista looked quite relieved and showed a faint fatigue.
“Then, go to sleep.<b>”</b>
Once she finished speaking, she was the first to climb into the new bed. The two beds were separated only by a bedside table, a short distance that nevertheless caused Kallum to hesitate for quite some time.
He nced at therge bed they usually slept in and then took a look at the newly arrived smaller bed. In the end, hey down on therge bed.
After the lights had been turned off, only a warm yellow bedsidemp flickered. Lying on his side, Kallum looked at Calista’s profile through its glow. For the first time, he felt the night was so cold and seemingly endless.
Tonight, he could still share a room with her. Despite the chill, at least he could see her as soon as he opened his eyes. But she would undoubtedly move out tomorrow, and by then, he wouldn’t even be able to catch a glimpse of her.
His previously disregarded physical pain erupted, particrly around the heart area, where a dense, aching sensation was particrly pronounced.
He was desperate to change the current situation. The mere thought of not being able to see her face in the evenings, let alone hold her, left him feeling suffocated.
Calista was attempting to take back everything she had given him, one by one. He wouldn’t allow it. He couldn’t ept the cruel joke of gaining and then losing again.
The more he dwelled on it, the more upset he felt. The difort kept sleep at bay. It wasn’t until midnight that he finally rose <b>from </b>the bed <b>and </b>sat at its edge.
He silently observed Calista, much like a beast lurking in the night. Deep within <b>him</b>, there <b>was </b>an undeniable desire to consume her.
In the end, he couldn’t resist and found himself climbing onto Calista’s bed. It was <b>a </b>small, single bed and once <b>Kallum </b>got on, it became quite cramped. He carefullyy on his side, yet he didn’t feel.
ufortable <b>at </b>all. On the contrary, when he held her once <b>again</b>, he let out <b>a </b>soft sigh. Amazingly, his physical pain seemed to ebb <b>away </b><b>just </b>like the tide.
He felt <b>a </b>pressing need to take action. There was no way he could simply let Calista move <b>out </b>andpletely disappear from him<b>.</b>
When Calista woke up the next day, Kallum was already gone from the room.
She <b>was </b>so exhausted <b>that </b>she had slept deeply the night before.
During breakfast, Benedict arrived. In fact, he had intended toe the night before, <b>but </b>it was toote.

he asked. “Callie, I heard you’re calling off the wedding?”
At that moment, only she and Benedict were in the dining room. She nodded absentmindedly as she ate her <b>breakfast</b>. “Mhm”
“Why?” Benedict <b>was </b>thoroughly puzzled. “And was it because of a disagreement with Mr. Kallum that you suddenly ran away this time? Callie, I don’t mean to scold you, but how could <b>you </b>just run off like that? You <b>didn’t </b>even take your phone<b>! </b>Do you <b>have </b>any idea how worried we were?”
Reflecting on her past cowardly actions, where she had fled in panic, Calista frowned and shook her <b>head</b>. “It won’t happen again.”Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
“It better not…” Seeing that she was unharmed, Benedict didn’t say much else. “So, what’s the deal between you and Mr. Kallum<b>?</b>”
“It just doesn’t feel right.”
“What doesn’t feel right?”
“Our backgrounds are ipatible. I’m out of his league.”
Calista’s response caught Benedict off guard. He stared at Calista, his face suddenly taking on a peculiar expression. Leaning in, he said in a hushed, secretive tone, “Callie, tell me honestly, did you… catch Mr. Kallum in bed with another woman? Is that why… If that’s the case, call off the wedding!”
Calista choked for a moment, ring at him<b>. </b>“What gave you such a bizarre idea?”
Le
“Isn’t that so?” Benedict stroked his chin, unable to think of any other reason <b>that </b>could cause two people, who were in love, to suddenly turn against each other.
“If the fault wasn’t with Mr. Kallum, could it be you? Have you <b>changed </b>your mind?”
“Dad!” Calista put down her spoon, her head aching. “I just don’t think we’re a good fit for each other, that’s all. Let’s end <b>this </b>discussion here and never bring it up <b>again</b>!”
Sensing Calista’s firm tone, Benedict didn’t dare to oppose her at that moment. He merely responded in a low voice, “You better think this through. If you let go of such a great fiancé, in the end, <b>it’s </b>someone else who’ll be thrilled!”
Upon hearing themotion, Wanda stepped in. She pulled Benedict aside, whispering, “Benedict, don’t rush this! Callie is in a unique situation now. Don’t pressure her. Kallum mentioned <b>that </b>she even had suicidal tendencies before, so we mustn’t upset her! Postponing the wedding isn’t a big deal. Kallum ismitted. He won’t change his mind.”
Benedict was rather troubled by <b>Calista’s </b>situation. “Everything was fine before… I don’t know how it suddenly came to this, and I’m unsure if it can get better in the future.”
“Everything will be all right. You go ahead with your work if you’re busy. I’m about to take Callie to see the psychiatrist. This person <b>is </b>a renowned expert in the field. Both his personal and professional integrity is <b>guaranteed</b>.”
“I guess I’ll have to trouble you with Callie, then… Benedict felt he was rather irresponsible, but his capabilities were limited. Even <b>a </b>smallpany could keep him so busy that he really had no way to stay <b>and </b>help.
