Chapter 103 She Is Gone

"Mr. Kallum!" Ryder exclaimed, barely able to mask his disbelief. It was inconceivable to him that Kallum would risk everything, even his last breath, for the sake of a woman.

Kallum, lips pursed in firm resolution, clarified his decision, "If I go to the military district now, my chances of survival would be barely one percent. Yet, if I refrain from attempting to rescue her, her likelihood of death is almost certain."

His unwavering resolve to save another seemed to soothe the searing pain that racked his body. Never before had he felt such composure or grasped the stakes so clearly.

Meanwhile, Calista found herself confined, overhearing conversations in Turlenian outside her cell. She coolly assessed her situation.

From what she could gather, the tide had turned once the antidote was introduced. Consequently, Uriah had severed ties with his uncle, who continued to resist the Lostarian government while Uriah planned his escape from the country. His bitterness over past failures was palpable, and it was this resentment that drove him to capture her as a way to reach Kallum.
