Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 286 Brothers In Distress

But what's this sense of sweetness within me? Is Calista... worried about me, so came to say all this to ease my mind? No, the more I think about it, the more embarrassed it is! I'm not... not that unreliable, right? Regardless, Calista's rare assurance had Kallum's gloomy mood from the past few days instantly take a turn for the better.

However, even with her promise, he still couldn't help but again ask in worry, "Are you really that confident?"

Calista nodded without hesitation, spreading her fingers before clenching them fiercely. "K Virus? It's nothing more than a prickly toy!"

She flashed him a somewhat arrogant smile that completely dispelled the gloom hanging over him.

Knowing that Calista was confident and wouldn't die, Kallum felt like a massive weight had been taken off him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he felt a sense of relief after a close brush with death. He took a moment to calm his racing heart.

Then, holding her hand, he said in utmost solemnity, "This is the last time! In the future, no matter the reason, you can't put yourself in such danger! Can you promise me that?"

Her violet eyes flickered slightly, his handsome face taut with anticipation. He looked at her earnestly, waiting only for her promise.

After this incident, there shouldn't be any further danger. Following that thought, Calista nodded in agreement.

"Of course. I highly value my life. You can always trust that I won't do anything I have no confidence about achieving, let alone gamble with my own life."

The couple exchanged a glance and smiled. For the first time, they truly appreciated the beauty of being alive.

Kallum pinched her somewhat pale face. He couldn't resist chuckling and replying, "You're absolutely right. We're brothers in distress now!"

"Despite having a lot of money, every second is unbearable," Calista added somberly.
