What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger novel Chapter 112

This time, he had to hold Calista's hand tightly. Then he would tell her how much he missed her.

After Ken drove to the location Ian mentioned, there was indeed a shuttle bus parked there, just as promised. Ignoring the stop sign, he rushed onto the bus, only to find it completely empty. The driver was left speechless. "Hey, this is a private shuttle. I'm afraid I can't let you on."

Ken's heart sank upon hearing those words. "Please, I'm begging you - is there a girl named Calista at your base?"

The driver shook his head. "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to exit the vehicle. I don't know who you're talking about."

Dejected, Ken stepped off the bus and wandered aimlessly. Where could his beloved Calista be?

Suddenly, a figure resembling Calista appeared in the crowd ahead. Ken's heart raced as he hurried forward, calling out "Calista! Calista!"

"Spring is almost here, let's get you some new outfits," Henry chattered beside her. "Oh, and let's stock up on those cakes you seem to love so much."

But Calista was distracted, her mind elsewhere. "What's the matter? Are you feeling alright?" Henry asked, noticing her absent-mindedness.

Calista glanced back over her shoulder but saw nothing out of the ordinary. "Henry, I could have sworn I heard someone calling my name just now."

Henry also turned to look but spotted no one. Smiling reassuringly, he said, "There's no one there, darling. You must have misheard."

Frowning, Calista scanned the area behind them once more. Seeing it was indeed deserted, she forced a smile. "I suppose you're right. I probably just imagined it."
