Chapter 1259


    Evelyn cast a worried nce at Callum''s leg, and then to his hands, sighing with a mix of regret and


    apology, "Your leg was broken by Lysander''s bodyguard, right? You were just trying to help us out, and


    look what happened to you."


    "Don''t talk like that," Callum gently chided her, "It''s not on you. Plus, I wanted to help, you didn''t twist


    my arm. My leg might be busted, but it''ll heal in a few months. So don’t worry." Callum''s demeanor was


    always so mild and easygoing, making him incrediblyforting and pleasant to be around.


    Here he was, the one who got hurt, and yet he''s the one offeringfort.


    Compared to Lysander, it was like seeing the stark contrast between benevolence and cruelty.


    Just yesterday, Thssa had identally knocked over a prop, nearly hitting Lysander, and he


    immediately suspected her of harboring a grudge.


    No matter how she exined, he wouldn''t buy it.


    But with Callum, whose leg and wrist were clearly injured because of Thssa, he was still full of


    kindness, counseling them, not wanting them to me themselves.


    That was the difference between people.


    "Mr. Gordon, you really are one of the good ones," Evelyn marveled with gratitude.


    Callum''s warm smile spread across his face as he looked at Thssa and asked, "What brings you two


    here, then?"


    "I was just showing my mom around, doing the whole tourist thing. Never imagined we''d bump into you


    as soon as wended. It''s a small world, isn''t it?" Thssa remarked.


    Thest thing she expected was to encounter a familiar face in this ce.


    "Sure it is a small world. Feels like fate," Callum agreed, then as if something struck him, he asked,


    "Where are you staying? I''m over at that hotel." He pointed to a hotel not too far from the artificialke.


    Thssa was surprised, "Really? We''re staying there, too."


    Who would''ve thought, without any prior nning, they''d run into each other and end up at the same


    hotel?


    Callum chuckled, "We must be cosmically linked. Hey, you haven''t had lunch yet, have you? There''s


    this diner nearby, let''s go grab some grub together."


    Thssa hesitated for a moment, recalling how thest time she went to eat with Callum, Lysander


    had shown up and crushed Callum''s wrist.


    She was practically haunted by the fear of Lysander.


    "Scared Lysander might show up again? Thssa, this is Eldoria, not Starhaven." Callum grinned at


    her, gently reminding her.


    He saw right through Thssa''s hesitation.

    Meeting his smiling eyes, Thssa felt a twinge of embarrassment. Her panic over Lysander was all


    too evident.


    To any observant person, it was clear what she was worried about.


    "Alright, let''s go," Thssa agreed. "This time it''s on me."


    Callumughed, "You should''ve treated me to a meal ages ago."


    He spoke lightheartedly, putting no pressure on Thssa, as if they were old friends. Reаd at

    "Like how I have a crush on you and you never noticed?" Callum threw out suddenly, in a teasing tone.


    It was a yful remark, but it packed quite the punch.
