Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 125 Work Together

"Do you really think I would marry you? I have to admit you once made me waver, but not anymore!" she said with determination. Astonished, Kallum said in a smug and exaggerated tone, "So you did consider marrying me? I knew it. I'm irresistibly charming!" D*mn you, Kallum Fairchild!

Calista shot him a glare and conjured up the most venomous statement possible. "You might die any day now, so watch your mouth! It's easy for you to say so, but have you ever considered the possibility that I might take you seriously and be heartbroken when you die?" Her words finally silenced Kallum. He recalled that his initial desire to distance himself from her was to prevent her from getting hurt. So, in their future interactions, he should exercise restraint to avoid the slight chance that she might fall for him and end up heartbroken. As silence ensued, a wave of regret washed over Calista. Kallum could've survived. He missed that opportunity because of me. He could've been one of the lucky few if he had received that injection. What was the point of me saying that? To make myself feel better? But there's no way I'll apologize! He'll have to deal with that himself.

Chuckling, Kallum asked, "Callie, are you feeling regretful?"

Calista widened her eyes and snorted. "Stop flattering yourself."

A sharp glint flashed in Kallum's eyes. "Don't worry. Even though I've contracted the K Virus, I'm still Kallum. I'm not that fragile. You can tell me anything."

So what if I'm dying? I don't want to part with her, yet I've never known fear. No matter what, I'm still me.

Dazzled by his bravery, she turned to escape the situation but found herself grabbed by Kallum, who drew her into his embrace.

"What are you doing?" she exclaimed, glaring at him in irritation. Even on the brink of death, he's so unbearable that I can't even feel sorry for him!

Kallum stifled a laugh. "Sick people are very vulnerable inside. So, from now on, I'll stop saying sweet nothings, and you don't have to fall for me. Just treat me as your patient. My only request is that you let me hug you every now and then. Let's take romance off the table and keep our emotions in check, okay?"

Calista knew she had frightened him. He's genuinely afraid I'd fall for him and end up heartbroken if he dies. Such confidence!
