Chapter 429 A Bittersweet Sensation

âIs there a way to wake her up?â Kallum asked. He couldnât fathom how much pain she must have experienced that she went into shock and nearly died. All he knew was that he couldnât bear to see her unconscious any longer. It gave him a constant fear that she might die at any moment, the dread as infinite as the depths of an abyss.
Shaun shook his head. âWeâve done all we could. Now, itâs all up to her.â
The thing Kallum could least accept was such a vague and nonâcommittal answer. Is there really no other way, and I can only wait? No!
However, he wasnât planning on giving up so easily. After Shaun had left, he began racking his brain to wake her up through their shared memories.
Initially, he assumed there werenât many shared moments between them. But upon deeper reflection, he realized that their relationship actually brimmed with memories.
Holding Calistaâs hand, he called out her name.
âCallicâ¦
He paused before continuing, âYouâve been sleeping for quite a while now. Hurry up and wake up. Are you hungry? I prepared a lot of your favorite foods⦠If you donât feel like eating, how about I ask the chef to cook you pumpkin kefir oatmeal? Remember? Itâs the medicated meal you taught the chef when you were young. You came to visit me when you were ten because I was sick. Remember?â
When Calista saw Kallumâs pale face, her heart broke.
Because Kallurn misunderstood that it was Mirabelle who saved him from drowning last year, while Calista merely stood by and left him in the lurch, he became distant toward her.
r some reason, she remained as clingy as ever despite his attitude. Upon learning about his illness, she ushed over first thing in the morning.
âMrs. Fairchild, Kal seems to be having a tough time.â
âYes. He just got over his fever, and his appetite is terrible. He throws up everything he eats. I wonder if heâll feel better when he wakes up later,â Wanda said.
After a moment of thought, Calista stroked her chin and asked, âMrs. Fairchild, does Mr. Chef know how to make pumpkin kefir oatmeal? When I was sick in the past, Grandma used to make it for me.â
Upon hearing that, Wanda replied, âI donât think so. It must be a medicated meal, right? Iâll call and ask your grandma for the recipe right away. Youâre amazing, Callie. Once Kallum wakes up, Iâll have him thank you!â
Calista quickly said, âThereâs no need to involve Grandma. She hasnât been well lately. I know how to make it. Just have Mr. Chef assist me. Il teach him!â
Wanda believed that, as Calista had been intelligent since young, possessing an eidetic memory. With her there, the chef would undoubtedly be able to create the dish.
Having received Wandaâs approval, Calista quickly made her way to the kitchen.

She remembered every detail of the preparation of ingredients and the cooking process, not missing a single step. The chef followed her instructions with a smile and even jestingly said, âIf you know any other recipes for medicated meals, Ms. Calista, please teach me a few more!â
Naturally, Calista didnât know much. Besides, her entire focus then was on the oatmeal she was making- She tasted it several times while cooking, only daring to add a hint of seasoning each time.
Seeing how devoted she was, the chef had nothing left to do and joked smilingly, âMr. Kallum is truly fortunate to be marrying you, Ms. Calistalâ
Calista flashed him a smile in return. Then, once the oatmeal was ready, she quickly scooped a bowl and hurriedly delivered it to Kallum.
Lately, Kal isnât fond of me. Perhaps I inadvertently did something wrong⦠But considering my earnestness, heâll probably forgive me, right?
Holding the bowl of oatmeal, Calista allowed her thoughts to wander.
Kallum had already woken up. At the sight of Calista, a flash of displeasure flickered across his eyes. Sheâs downright thickâskinned, having the audacity to keep visiting his house even after leaving me in the lurch!
âThe oatmeal is ready!â
âKallum, look how good Callie is to you. She prepared this especially for you. It smells so nice!â Wanda said with a hint of surprise.
Kallum, however, frowned. âThere are pecans in there? Donât you know I detest pecans most? Donât bring it over!â
His countenance was exquisitely but unapproachable. Despite being pale, his tone was harsh.
Calista immediately felt aggrieved. She came over early in the morning and bustled around for four to five
ours, making oatmeal for the first time, yet he didnât like it.
She attempted to explain, saying, âI know youâre not a fan of pecans, but theyâre essential in this dish. Moreover, I prepared them in a way you wonât taste them. Give it a try. I promise you wonât detect
any hint of pecans-â
âI said to take it away!â His violet eyes were reminiscent of two blazing gemstones, and his tone was stern. âAlso, quit looking like Iâm bullying you. Iâve told you I absolutely detest pecans!â
Kallum harrumphed, then added, âOnly a fool would be swayed by such petty favors!â
From a distance, Calista heard everything, her heart filled with sorrow. Why did Kal suddenly start hating me
so much?
Kallumâs grip on Calistaâs hand tightened, his eyes brimming with anguish and regret.
âIâm truly sorry for the harsh words I said to you back then⦠In truth, Iâd always been unkind to you. Yet, youâd shown me great tolerance. Iâve hurt you many times, intentionally or otherwise. Now, every time I think about it, I wish nothing more than to punch myselfâ¦â
Back then, I misunderstood her and was always terrible toward her. Yet, she refused to give up, insisting on staying by my side. Perhaps thatâs love..

A bittersweet sensation filled him, his fingers gently tracing her palm. âTruth be told, I ate that bowl of oatmeal. Although it was my mom who forced me to eat it, in reality, it was really fragrant. The moment I smelled it. I wanted to devour it. I was just being stubborn. Otherwise, she wouldnât have been able to force
me.â
