Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 138 The Confrontation

Is she throwing a tantrum? Even though she has become a part of the Fairchild family, she has rejected none other than Mr. Kallum!

But what made it a rare sight was seeing Calista puffing out her chest and holding her head high, leaving as if in defiance. Kallum slowly curved his lips, feeling as if she was fleeing in panic.

I seem to have failed to rein in my desires just now. What should I do? It seems I've scared my little one.

Benedict wore an awkward expression as he apologized to Silas after seeing that, "My apologies... Callie, it's her first time dancing... she might be a bit shy, it's not that she..." He ended the sentence in his mind. She intentionally disrespects Mr. Kallum.

Silas revealed a thoughtful expression, while Wanda quickly reassured with a light-hearted laugh, "No worries. This is a matter between them youngsters. In reality, they've been getting along splendidly before! Kallum must've done something today to upset Callie. She's a good girl."

Wanda was right. Calista was obedient and sensible.

If all she had was fondness toward Calista previously, she was grateful to her now.

How great of a danger would Callie face if word got out that she possess medical skills that could extend one's lifespan? Furthermore, each time she performs acupuncture for Kallum, she would deplete her vitality. Yet, there was no telling when he would finally recover. Not only did Callie demonstrate peculiar medical skills that put her in danger, but she even risked her health to prolong Kallum's life. Our family aren't ungrateful people. Forget about Callie throwing a tantrum, even if she wants to commit murder or arson, we'll hand her the knife. Seeing the Fairchild family treating Calista as they always had... No, even better than before, Benedict was relieved. With his limited capabilities and being busy at home, he felt that having a godfamily like the Fairchilds caring for his daughter was an incredibly fortunate situation that was hard to come by. After Calista went out, she felt much better. Her long skirt trailed over the immaculate marble floor, and as the moonlight fell, the diamonds adorning her dress sparkled like a true starry sky, a sight too beautiful for words. It made her entire being seem to radiate light. Her mind wandered from her exam to her previous life at the research center. She recalled the sporadic words spoken by those eccentric individuals and the medicine they had tested on her, along with her reactions at the time.

At that thought, Calista suddenly let out a bitter laugh.
