Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 141 Damsel To The Rescue

The only hope was for the Yost family to show some sense and send Mirabelle to jail. If they didn't play by the rules, there was a real chance that Kallum would have to take matters into his own hands. "Does it hurt? It's always the knight to the rescue when a damsel is in distress. Besides, it'll be faster if Kallum the one who's injured, but if you get hurt, it might take you a good week or two to recover." As Shaun applied the medicine to her, he expressed his thoughts. He felt that Calista's decision not to let Kallum protect her, but instead protect him, was an unwise move.

Calista furrowed her brows. "Have you forgotten what's going on with Kallum now?"

Upon hearing this, Shaun finally understood why Calista did so, yet he couldn't help but say, "You, young lady, always come off as cold on the outside but warm at heart. Even in the most critical moments, you always put Mr. Kallum first. If I had someone who cared for me like you do when I was young, I wouldn't be alone now!"

Before Calista could respond, Quintus playfully chimed in from the side, "Old Mr. Yancey, you've got quite the imagination! Looking at you now, there's no way you were handsome in your youth! You think you could compete with Mr. Kallum? Only a blind girl would have liked you back then."

Shaun glared and exclaimed, "Nonsense! Callie has been fond of Kallum for a long time, back when they were children, and puppy love was the purest love of all. Callie, tell this superficial person how you fell for Kallum back then."

At the doorstep, Kallum was similarly holding his breath in anticipation of her answer.

Calista paused for a moment before she spoke in a subdued tone. "My childhood was too oppressive, and everything seemed to be in black and white. As all of you know, Kallum has always been a dazzling figure since he was a child. At first... I suppose I was envious of him, envious of his unrestrained audacity, his proud and eye-catching demeanor. But later on..." She hummed lightly and continued, "All that's in the past now. From now on, you all have to address me as Ms. Calista! I'm practically on par with Kallum now." Shaun and Quintus exchanged a glance, both fully aware of the circumstances. The primary reason Calista was adopted as a foster daughter by the Fairchild family was because Kallum was worried he might not survive, and wanted to secure her future. Yet, it seemed as though Calista genuinely intended to regard him as her brother.

Shaun cleared his throat with a couple of dry coughs. "Callie, could you secretly tell me, do you still have feelings for Mr. Kallum? If he gets better, and he proposes to you—"
