Chapter 178 A New Era

Shaun felt relieved when he saw that Kallum was determined to protect Calista and not sacrifice her for his- own sake or put her at risk. If they could get past this hurdle, Mr. Kallum and Ms. Stafford would probably make a very happy couple, wouldn’t they?

Her days were filled with either studying or conducting research, yet she found joy in this. Her mood was significantly better than when she was idle. Perhaps not being pursued and not having to fleet for her life was enough to satisfy her.

After she finished her bath, it was nearly bedtime. She climbed into bed with practiced case, only to find. Kaiser was not focusing on his work. Instead, he was watching her intently.

“What’s wrong?” Calista asked, noticing his continued pallor. She furrowed her brows and said, “You’ve been pushing yourself so hard today. You must be feeling awful. Why don’t you rest? You can always work.
