Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 294 Twice The Pain

"After the injection, the level of pain I'm experiencing is twice as much as yours. So, if you touch me, it hurts a lot."

After she spoke, she furrowed her brows deeply, as though she was truly in discomfort.

Upon receiving an explanation at least, Kallum felt much more at ease. His tense body gradually relaxed as he spoke, a hint of guilt in his voice.

"Sorry, I didn't anticipate this," said Kallum. The realization that Calista's pain was twice as intense as his own was unbearable. "How long will this situation last?"

Calista looked away, wearied.

"Until the K virus is defeated."

Her voice was devoid of any emotion, as if she was speaking about someone else. "You don't need to worry. Pain becomes habitual over time. In a few days, I won't find it as unbearable. But right now, I'm really tired, and I don't want to talk anymore. That's it." After she finished speaking, she slowly started moving forward in silence.

Knowing that she was in pain, Kallum couldn't bring himself to say a word, which would only weigh down on her further. Perhaps, she's just exhausted?

Kallum kept telling himself this, but the unease in his heart only grew stronger.

He had this lingering sensation that she had never truly been his. But how is this possible? If Callie didn't love me, how could she have come this far for me? The pain that she's enduring now is all for me. If this isn't love, then what was it?

In any case, Kallum refused to believe the notion that Calista did not love him. After all, her actions spoke volumes. She has loved me deeply for so many years. How could that love just suddenly disappear?

Upon this thought, Kallum let out a self-deprecating chuckle, then steeled himself to catch up with her.

However, in the following days, Calista's actions thoroughly confirmed Kallum's suspicions.
