Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 141 Damsel To The Rescue

The only hope was for the Yost family to show some sense and send Mirabelle to jail. If they didn’t play by the rules, there was a real chance that Kallum would have to take matters into his own hands. 

“Does it hurt? It’s always the knight to the rescue when a damsel is in distress. Besides, it’ll be faster if Kallum the one who’s injured, but if you get hurt, it might take you a good week or two to recover.” 

As Shaun applied the medicine to her, he expressed his thoughts. He felt that Calista’s decision not to let Kallum protect her, but instead protect him, was an unwise move. 

Calista furrowed her brows. “Have you forgotten what’s going on with Kallum now?” 

Upon hearing this, Shaun finally understood why Calista did so, yet he couldn’t help but say, “You, young lady, always come off as cold on the outside but warm at heart. Even in the most critical moments, you always put Mr. Kallum first. If I had someone who cared for me like you do when I was young, I wouldn’t be alone now! 

Before Calista could respond, Quintus playfully chimed in from the side. “Old Mr. Yancey, you’ve p quite the imagination! Looking at you now, there’s no way you were handsome in your youth! You think you could compete with Mr. Kallum? Only a blind girl would have liked you back then.” 

Shaun glared and exclaimed, “Nonsense! Callie has been fond of Kallum for a long time, back when they were children, and puppy love was the purest love of all. Callie, tell this superficial person how you fell for Kallum back then. 

At the doorstep. Kallum was similarly holding his breath in anticipation of her answer. 

Calista paused for a moment before she spoke in a subdued tone. “My childhood was too oppressive, and everything seemed to be in black and white. As all of you know, Kallum has always been a dazzling figure since he was a child. At first… I suppose I was envious of him, envious of his unrestrained audacity, his proud and eye–catching demeanor. But later on…” She hummed lightly and continued. “All that’s in the past now. From now on, you all have to address me as Ms. Calista! I’m practically on par with Kallum now.” 

Shaun and Quintus exchanged a glance, both fully aware of the circumstances. The primary reason Calista was adopted as a foster daughter by the Fairchild family was because Kallum was worried he might not survive, and wanted to secure her future. Yet, it seemed as though Calista genuinely intended to regard him as her brother. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Shaun cleared his throat with a couple of dry coughs. “Callie, could you secretly tell me, do you still have feelings for Mr. Kallum? If he gets better, and he proposes to you-‘ 

“There’s no way!” Calista interrupted, her voice somewhat cold. “Let’s not even discuss the possibility of curing him. Now that I’m already the young lady of the Fairchild family, I won’t be Kallum’s wife. Everything before is in the past.” 

Inside, a hush fell over the room. Meanwhile, outside the door, Kallum suddenly felt as if the stabbing pain within his body had become even more unbearable. It was as if his heart was in agony too. 

“Mr. Kallum….” Ryder softly consoled him, “Once you’re better, do you think there won’t be opportunities? Ms. Calista is just a person who talks tough but has a soft heart…” 

“Who’s there?” Calista had sharp cars. She heard something but couldn’t make it out clearly. At that moment, the door swung wide open. Kallum had already composed himself. As he entered, he saw Caliera’s exposed back and the somewhat terrifyingj

with a stride of his long legs, he was already by Calista’s side. 

“How’s it going?” he asked Shaun. 

“Why did you guys come over? Aren’t you guys already late to the party?” Calista asked with a hint of surprise. 

Something occurred to Kallum, his eyes roiled with frustration, but Ryder had already spoken up with at laugh. “Without you, the star of the show, what’s the point of this party? Besides, Mr. Kallum was worried about you, so he came over first,” 

Calista nodded in agreement. 

Shaun commented, “Thankfully, the injury didn’t reach the bone, but it was still quite a deep wound. Mr. Kallum, has the perpetrator been dealt with?” 

Does he think I’ll let Mirabelle go with suffering any repercussions? 

Seeing that Calista seemed interested, he lowered his voice and said, “She intentionally hurt someone, so she must have been taken to the police station by now.” 

Kallum spoke nonchalantly, but his right–hand man, Ryder, rubbed his forehead behind him. It wasn’t as simple as Kallum handling someone by the poolside. If help had arrived a moment later, Mirabelle would probably have been dead by now. Furthermore, Kallum had been so furious earlier, as if he was about to commit murder! How could it be summed up so casually? 

Calista nodded. “That works too. Saves me the trouble of dealing with her.” 

The thought of Mirabelle spending a few days at the police station was unsettling. It could instantly change her status from the most desirable daughter–in–law in the entire Horington to the most avoided one, wouldn’t it? 

Previously, Xander’s affairs were merely industry matters, but his imprisonment struck at the very core of Mirabelle. The thought of her being ruthlessly knocked down, unable to rise again, actually put a rare smile on Calista’s face. 

Upon observing that Shaun was not being “gentle” in his actions, Kallum had already begun to furrow his brows deeply from the sidelines. While Calista had been administered anesthetic, that didn’t justify such rough handling. 

So. Kallum said, “Everyone, please leave. Old Mr. Yancey, what medicine are you using? I’ll handle it.” 

“I don’t think that’s necessary.” Calista was the first to object. No matter who was injured, they would want an expert to handle it, not an amateur. 

Shaun noticed Kallum’s demeanor and said, “Well, these are the two types. First apply this medicine, then this one. After bandaging, a shot will do the trick!” 

Seeing no way out, Calista gave Kallum a doubtful look and hurriedly said, “You’re not planning to give me another injection, are you?”
