Chapter 149 A Kiss To Alleviate The Pain
After giving it some thought, he decided it wouldnât be appropriate. âIâll come over later as well,â he said.
Ryder was taken aback. Kallum was leaving the house? All because his wife made a female friend?
After stepping into the Fisher family home, Calista felt uneasy due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of the family. Unlike other affluent households, their home had hardly any servants. The family was harmonious. and joyous, an image of perfect harmony at first glance.
Sensing their goodwill. Calista gradually relaxed, although her face betrayed no sign of it. Tabithaâs parents quietly nodded in approval, impressed by Calistaâs poise and refinement. It was clear to them that she was a good child.
After casually asking a few questions, they began their meal. Tabithaâs siblings werenât home, so there werenât many people around the dining table.
Tabitha didnât know who Calista was, but her parents certainly did. Calista had just become the goddaughter of the Fairchild family, and it seemed like she was quite favored by Kallum. She appeared to be knowledgeable and wellâmannered, someone worth befriending.
So. Tabithaâs mother said to Tabitha with a smile, âTabitha, you should really get along well with Callie in the future. Look at her, sheâs the same age as you and her grades are so good. You should take a leaf out of her book, understand?â
Whenever the topic of studying came up, Tabithaâs face fell. She muttered, âGot itâ¦â
Then she turned to Calista and said, âCallic, you must visit more often. My son isnât here today, but I can introduce you to him some other time. He was also very interested in pursuing a career in medical research back then. Iâm sure you two will find a lot to talk aboutâ¦â
This blatant matchmaking attempt left Calista feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, the man hastily tugged at his wife. âWhat nonsense are you spouting? You always do this, youâve scared Tabithaâs friend. Tabitha will definitely blame you for this!â
Tabitha wore a baffled expression as she lifted her head. âWhat did mom just say?â
Quickly, Calista said, âIâll definitely be visiting frequently in the future, I hope it wonât be too much of a bother.â
âNo, not at all, you are very much welcome hereâ¦â
In short, the meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Adjusting to the new surroundings was a challenge, so Calista took her leave early. Her impression of Tabitha was rather favorable, so she sincerely expressed her intention to visit again. Despite the offer from the Fisher family to provide a car ride home, she politely declined.
After stepping out, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Night had already fallen, with the sky sprinkled with countless stars. The faint scent of osmanthus flowers wafted through the air, bringing a sense of pleasure and contentment to oneâs heart.

and he let out a sigh of relief.
âMs. Calista, letâs head home. Mr. Kallum is waiting for you in the car.â
Calista was startled. âKallum came?â
She got into the car, startled, and indeed it was Kallum. He had set aside the documents from the Fisher family and spoke with a serious tone. âBecause youâve just become a member of the Fairchild family, people have become so enthusiastic. It worried me, so I came out,â
His words stirred something within Calista, but her typically stoic expression gave nothing away.
However, Kallum was able to notice that her gaze had softened considerably, which made him smile with delight.
On the way back. Calista and Kallum found themselves alone due to the separation of the carriage compartments. It was somewhat awkward. She certainly hadnât forgotten that she had once stolen a kiss from him in the carâ¦
It wasâ¦
âHowâs your illness? How do you feel about the recent treatments?â
Of course, Calista knew that results wouldnât come about so quickly. Without a live test subject like herself, the research was bound to encounter some twists and turns.
Upon hearing this, Kallum responded in a deep voice, âItâs fine, but what about you? Wonât it be too strenuous to give me acupuncture every three days? Youâve been injured again.â
Calista shook her head. âIâm fine.â
Seeing that Kaiserâs lips had turned somewhat pale, Calista couldnât help but ask, âDoes it hurt a lot?â
She remembered clearly, though she was an asymptomatic carrier of the virus, she was not spared from the complications associated with the K Virus. The pain was deeply etched in her memory. The more she took medication and underwent treatment, the more pain she felt internally! She remembered in the later stages, even a slight touch from others felt like a knife was being twisted into her. All this time, she had actually forgotten about finding a way to alleviate Kallumâs pain.
Kallum hadnât expected Calista to notice. He initially wanted to claim that he wasnât in pain, but for some reason, he yearned to see a look of concern aâs face. Thus, he subtly furrowed his brows
on
âA bit, but itâs within the realm of endurance,â
Just as she had predicted, it was painful! A hint of frustration appeared on her cold, indifferent face.
âIâll figure out a way to get you some pain relief medication once we get back. Letâs put it this way, the pain will only get worse. Without it, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to endure the subsequent treatments,â
A warmth spread through Kallumâs heart, his Callie was indeed someone with a cool exterior but a warm heart.
His gaze was intensely fixed on Calista, and even in the dimly lit room, his silhouette was still breathtaking.

anesthetic, but you refused.â
Calista gave him a peculiar look, curious as to why he had brought up the subject.

With a gentle laugh, Kallumâs eyes sparkled brightly. âYou said back then, a kiss from you would take the pain away. So, if youâre willing to give me a kiss, I might feel a bit better.â
After Kallum finished speaking, he held his breath, watching for Calistaâs reaction. He noticed Calista suddenly became guarded, seemingly showing signs of resistance. This, however, was something he had anticipated.
