Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 420 I Do Not Look Good Right Now

"I'm done with my bath. Could you help me dry my back?" At this point, she didn't care about being seen naked anymore. Staying in the bathroom any longer was simply too terrifying for her. Unexpectedly, her usually kind and loving godmother seemed to have a perverted side.

As expected, Wanda's attention was indeed diverted. However, in the end, she playfully patted her very firm buttocks and said teasingly, "Kallum is indeed more fortunate than his father!"

The underlying implications of that statement were truly terrifying, so Calista decided to pretend she hadn't heard it at all.

After washing up, Calista was originally planning to head to the lab, but Wanda said, "You've been worn out for a full day and night, so take some time to rest properly. We women shouldn't be so hard on ourselves. Besides, Kallum can handle things out there."

Even though she felt irresponsible for passing on her burdens to others, and she was consumed with guilt for lying idle while everyone else was busy, when Calista heard that everything was still under control and about Kallum's involvement, an inexplicable sense of tranquility washed over her.

So, is this what it feels like to be protected? Could this be what trust feels like? I've always been fighting my battles alone, but for the first time, I am wholeheartedly entrusting all my trials and tribulations to another person. I don't have to fear betrayal or abandonment. This feeling sure is unexpectedly beautiful! With certain questions lingering in her mind, Calista initially thought she would have trouble falling asleep. However, in reality, she drifted off quite quickly.

When Kallum returned home, his face etched with exhaustion, it was already nine in the morning. Not wanting to cause Calista any worry, he massaged his temples and rallied his spirits before stepping through the front door.

Calista was still asleep at the time. She had only gone to bed at five in the morning and was now in the deepest phase of her sleep. The medicine had worked wonders, as her face and neck were no longer swollen. However, there was still a horrifying ring of bruise around her neck.

Upon seeing her haggard appearance, Kallum found it hard to bear. He gently touched her forehead, and only after confirming her temperature was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down by the bed, and for a moment there, he didn't want to move at all.

When Calista woke up, she was greeted by the sight of a young man with delicate features curled up on the edge of the bed in a somewhat uncomfortable sleeping position. As if he was afraid of waking her, his tall frame only occupied a small portion of the bed. Even so, his face was very close, and Calista could see his flawless skin, slanted eyebrows, and long, curled eyelashes.
