Chapter 285 Feel Alive

Others simply couldn’t comprehend Kallum’s fear and unease.

Calista sighed, his gaze fixated on a certain spot. Then, she spoke in a quiet tone. “Do you know? Before, I always had this surreal feeling, like I was in a game, and it glitched, causing me to restart. Even though everything went smoothly after the restart, I still felt this sense of being adrift, as if… It was as if I had died, and this so–called restart was just a dream, nothing more than a beautiful illusion.”

The corners of her mouth quirked up slightly as she spoke in a serene tone.

Kallum furrowed his brows. He didn’t quite understand what Calista meant. What did she mean by restarting? And what is this beautiful dream she is talking about?

“Perhaps this analogy isn’t the best, but all you need to remember is this. I might have a masochistic disposition. I somehow feel that it’s only in moments of pain that I truly feel alive,” said Calista.

Kallum was taken aback, only to see an unusual gleam flickering in her radiant, star–like eyes.

“Can you imagine? I actually thought that pain was the only thing that was real. Isn’t that thought terrifying?”

Although she was smiling, Kallum inexplicably sensed a profound sadness from her. Subconsciously, he pulled her into his arms, furrowing his brows for a while before he finally asked in a very soft voice. “Can I know what exactly you’ve been through elsewhere?”

He had wanted to ask that question a long, long time ago, but he never did until that moment. Surprisingly, she replied to him with a smile, asserting that only pain was real.

That made Kallum suddenly realize the pain she had endured when he wasn’t around was unimaginably
