Chapter 205 An Incompatible Pair
âLetâs deal with it when we get back,â Jarrett suggested, removing his shattered glasses in a somewhat lackluster mood.
His subordinate lowered his voice as he said, âThis time, even if Sterling doesnât die, heâll contract the K virus. Heâs no longer a threat to us. After we return this time, weâll be able to act freelyâ¦â
He paused for a moment before continuing. âHowever, the drama caused by the Fairchild family today is too much. Since weâve already obtained what we wanted, we should perhaps leave first. The local authorities are already watching this place.
After a long hesitation. Jarrett finally let out a bitter, selfâdeprecating smile.
âAlright, letâs go first. As for this mess, letâs let Kallum clean it up!â
After all, his presence was only an eyesore to Kallum. It was better for him to be out of sight, out of mind.
When Calista regained consciousness, several days had already passed. Outside the window, the blazing sun was gradually setting. Judging by the architecture, she realized she was still in Jeahron..
âAre you awake?â
Kallumâs voice carried a hint of joy initially. However, the moment she looked over, it swiftly turned to
annoyance.
âItâs good that youâre awake. I need to ask you, why didnât you call me? Why didnât you let me know what you were planning to do? Why would you undertake such a dangerous task all by yourself?â
As he unleashed a barrage of questions, Calista clutched the blanker, looking at him in a somewhat dazed manner. Her luminous eyes looked as if they were sprinkled with crushed diamonds, and at that moment, without her lethal aura, she appeared innocent and beautiful. The sight of her then was capable of melting anyoneâs heart.
The volume of Kallumâs voice inexplicably lowered.
âAre you feeling unwell?â
He furrowed his brows, sitting at the edge of the bed to touch her forehead. âDoes your head hurt? Right, Iâll get you some water.â
He quickly poured a glass of water for Calista, who obediently drank it all. She didnât seem to show any signs of discomfort.
Watching her, Kallum let out a small sigh of relief. Then, he put on a fierce facade, raising his voice again.
âAlright, stop playing dumb now. Itâs time to come clean with me. Honesty will make things easier for you!â
Calista shifted slightly, only to notice her body was swathed in bandages. She couldnât help but furrow her brows. Seeing her discomfort, Kallum anxiously leaned in to inspect her. âHold on, donât move about recklessly. Did you pull at your wound?â
Upon seeing his flustered state, Calista couldnât help but let out a soft chuckle. In a low voice, she asked,

âIâm not anxious!â Kallumâs eyebrows knotted tightly, his handsome face tense. He scoffed, âIâm not worried about you, you dâmn woman. Iâm just concerned that if you die, there will be no one to keep me alive. I certainly donât want to die.â
Faced with Calistaâs ambiguous gaze, his explanation wasnât convincing at all. In the end, he stared at her with wide eyes. âWhat, youâre trying to change the subject? Let me tell you, Iâm very upset. Donât think you can easily brush this off, not even if youâre hurt!â
His face was etched with determination, yet to Calista, his eyes were clearly pleading with him to pacify him, and he would then forgive her.
Unlike the high and mighty Kallum from before, he was genuine and full of vitality.
Suddenly, Calista threw herself into his arms, her eyes blinked as she looked up at him. âForgive me, please!â
The moment she lunged at him, Kallum had swiftly supported her. He saw a tender smile on her face as she coyly pleaded for his forgiveness. Such behavior from her could truly melt the fiercest of anger into nothingness.
Despite his numerous attempts, Kallum found it impossible to maintain a cold facade in the face of her pitiful gaze.
D*rn it, if things continue like this, Iâll definitely have my authority undermined!
âDear Kallum⦠my wound hurts a lot, so could you please stop being angry?â
When her typically cold voice softened, it still couldnât be associated with gentleness or cuteness.. Nevertheless, the slight change had already started to arouse Kallum.
The corners of his mouth curled up. Unable to suppress his emotions, he had no choice but to sigh. âI really canât stay angry at youâ¦â
Upon receiving her answer, Calista suddenly crawled out of his embrace. She slowly burrowed herself into the blanket, resuming her aloof demeanor with her back turned toward him.
âIâm so tired. I need to sleep a bit more. Please, leave me.â
Her clearly indifferent demeanor had dampened Kallumâs spirits just as they had begun to lift, leaving him gritting his teeth in frustration!
âCalista! You bâstard, get up! Weâre not done yet!â
Calista looked at him helplessly and vulnerably. âAre you really going to cause a fuss with someone injured?â
Seeing how Calista was all bandaged up, Kallum was at a loss of words. He felt an eruption of anger within him, yet with no outlet, he was left with an unbearable sense of frustration.
âYou⦠youâre always playing the victim. I donât believe a word you say!â
âOuch, it hurts!â
âWhere does it hurt? Let me take a look,â

âI was just kidding!â
Kallum was rendered speechless.
Amidst the banter, the previous unpleasantness was quickly forgotten. Kallum seemed as if he had not been left behind by Calista, had not been kept in the dark by her, and certainly had not been bullied by her. He subsequently returned to his former state.
Quintus shook his head, sighing once again. Love is a strange thing. It can make the weakest person strong, and the strongest person weak.
Despite eating out of Calistaâs hand, Kallum didnât realize it at all. He was busy feeding Calista oatmeal, as her hands were not in a condition to do so herself.
âSo, youâre saying that Sterling was nowhere to be found when Gunner entered?â
