Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 179 Not Because Of You

At that time, Kallum was still upset. What happened earlier was truly a blow to his pride. How am I supposed to wear the pants in the family in the future?

It seemed as though she could sense what he was thinking. Calista raised her eyebrows slightly. "What's the matter? Are you displeased because I carried you?"

Kallum turned his head to the side, holding back the pain as he muttered, "No."

Seeing him throw a tantrum, Calista found it quite amusing. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as she climbed onto the bed and lowered her voice to say, "Should I let you carry me back?"

Kallum looked at her, surprised. However, he wasn't one to turn down a good thing when it was offered. Most importantly, when he was feeling down, holding her seemed to make everything much better. Yet, Calista refused to let him hold her. Chuckling slightly, she asked, "What's the matter? Aren't you going through the documents anymore?"

Upon seeing her disobedience, Kallum decided to remind her, "Today is my birthday!"

"So what?" Calista tilted her head.

Kallum displayed a complex expression. Am I not entitled to some perks? We were clearly close during the day. Indeed, a drunk Callie is more endearing.

Right then, she saw him frown and thought he was in pain again. Without thinking, she pressed her hand against his stomach and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Most of the time, Kallum wouldn't show any signs of pain. Hence, if something made him furrow his brow, it had to truly hurt.

All was well until Calista touched it. The pain that Kallum had been enduring suddenly heightened upon contact.

He didn't want to worry Calista and was ready to assure her he was fine. However, a sudden surge of pain hit him, as if it was drilling into his bones, causing his body to shudder slightly.
