Chapter 1285


    Then Callum hobbled towards the windowsill, leaning heavily on his cane.


    "Take it easy. I''ve got you," Evelyn said without furtherment, helping Callum to the windowsill


    where he could sit down.


    She then turned and red at Thssa, "I''ve never seen you fuss over such trivial matters before."


    Thssa''sshes fluttered down, and she remained silent.


    "Don''t be too hard on Thssa," Callum chimed in, his voice as mellow as ever, a picture of


    unppable calm. "The lunch I brought for you is all freshly made, not leftovers. Try it to see if you like


    it."


    His easygoing nature only fueled Evelyn''s impression that Thssa was taking advantage of him.


    Her brows knit together, she scolded Thssa again, "Look at him, you could learn a thing or two


    about grace."


    "Yes, Mom, I will," Thssa quickly replied, eager to stave off another lecture.

    She opened up the lunchbox, and the aroma of the food instantly wafted out as the lid was lifted.


    Both Thssa and Evelyn were famished. The smell of the food made their stomachs audibly rumble.


    Evelyn felt a tad embarrassed, patting her belly and chuckled, "Look at me, bing as much of a


    foodie as Elowen."


    She gave Callum an apologetic grin, but he maintained his genial smile. "You''re just hungry, Evelyn.


    Let''s eat," he said.


    "Yeah," Evelyn agreed, handing a lunchbox to Thssa before grabbing one for herself and starting to


    eat.


    Thssa sat on one bed while Evelyn on another.


    Callum sat by the window, his eyes softening as he watched them tuck into their food, a wave of


    mncholy and guilt washing over him. "Evelyn, I''m sorry, when you fell into the water, I should have


    been the first to jump in after you, but I curse my useless legs and hands... I''m not much use to


    anyone."


    Hearing his words, Thssa looked up at him and quickly reassured him, "Mr. Gordon, don''t me


    yourself. We''re so grateful for what you''ve done. With your condition, jumping in wouldn''t have helped.


    Besides, you were the one who called the fisherman to save my mother."


    Thssa was truly grateful. Callum had been incredibly helpful in her eyes.


    Yet she couldn''t help but feel like a burden to him.


    "After all, it was Lysander who pulled Evelyn ashore. You''re probably more grateful to him right now,"


    Callum said, his gaze dropping slightly, as if he had missed his chance to be the hero.


    At the mention of Lysander''s name, Thssa felt a heaviness in her chest akin to a stone weighing her


    down.


    Her words were not of gratitude but carried a mix of me and hurt. Reаd at Draмanоvels


    If Lysander had acted as soon as Evelyn fell into the water, she wouldn''t have been struggling for so


    long.


    It was only when he saw her determination to save Evelyn at all costs that Lysander finally dived into


    the water.
