Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 326

Calista looked at him steadily, then after a moment, she shook her head with a smile. “For the first time, I realized that you, too, have moments where you escape from reality.”

She spoke with an air of ease. “Broken legs and muscle atrophy are nothing. Keep walking with me, and I'll show you many more interesting things.”

As Calista spoke, she led Kallum inward.

“I'm not going!” He grasped Calista's arm in a hurry. “You're not allowed to go either! Your illness is severe. I'm taking you to see a doctor.”

“What about the truth? Don't you want to know the truth?”

Kallum had never felt such regret before. He wished desperately he could turn back time. “I don't want to know anymore. I don't want to know anything! Callie, as long as you're with me, I don't need to know anything else.”

Despite his denial, the way he looked at Calista as he spoke was filled with sorrow and panic. He chose to believe, as there was no other way to explain everything that had happened.

However, he no longer wished to know the details. All he wanted now was to keep Calista by his side and let all those d*mn things vanish into thin air.

Calista chuckled lightly. “So, you still believe me.”

She clasped his hand in return, a smile gracing her lowered gaze. “But now that it's been said, we can't turn back, can we? Why don't we continue, then? I just asked you, If there's no going back, would you still want to know the truth? You said yes. You wanted to know.”

Kallum's palms were sweaty; he had messed up once again. He shouldn't have come, let alone entered.

The possibility of losing Calista filled him with dread. Yet, as Calista had said, once something was spoken, there was no turning back. His only options were to choose between gaining a clearer understanding or remaining in the dark.

“Have you calmed down? Now, are you ready to hear me out?”

Even if he was unaware, it could only be because he didn't care, so he left the task to someone else. Yet, the sheer indifference was more than enough to make Calista despise him.

Kallum thought. That's right. That's enough to make her resent me.

“I have no proof.” Upon hearing his words, Calista continued to smile, but her eyes reddened and became filled with malice. “Still, as long as this piece of land is yours, it's enough for me to cancel the wedding.”

She shook her head, a bitter smile playing on her lips. “I guess you already knew, didn't you? You just didn't care. After all, I was just your unwanted fiancée. Whether I lived or died, what did it matter? Since I contracted the K virus, not only could you save others by using me, but it also gave me a chance to survive. Your conscience wouldn't be affected in the slightest because when you despise someone, you won't bother to think too much about them.”

Kallum clenched his eyes shut, a desperate wish coursing through him. He wished none of this had ever happened. If only I hadn't brought her here. If only none of these events have taken place.

“Callie...” He walked toward her, suddenly pulling her into a tight embrace. It seemed that only in this way he could feel that she was still his.
