The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 867

Her steps came to an abrupt halt, and she turned her head sharply, seeing Callum standing 30 feet away from her.

“He… hasn’t left?” she thought.

Lillian was stunned and then saw Callum walking towards her step by step. “Are you here to find me?” he repeated his earlier question.

Only then did Lillian snap out of her daze. She took a deep breath and asked, “Yes! Did you get injured when you fell down the escalator? Where are you hurt?”

His dark eyes stared at her intently. Then, a mocking smile curved his lips. “Are you genuinely concerned about me now?”

“What if I am? You’re injured, and it’s late at night. Why aren’t you resting at home instead of coming here?” If she hadn’t opened the window because she couldn’t sleep, she wondered how long he would have stayed here.

As she thought of it, her heart trembled.

He chuckled lightly, his eyelashes flickering slightly. “What if I say I came here because I wanted to see you? Would you be moved? Would you be willing to start over with me?“.

“Callum, I’m being serious!”

“On what grounds do you think my words aren’t serious?” he retorted.

She hesitated, staring at him, her hand clutching the hem of her nightgown tightly. “I won’t start over with you.”

She thought, “Because I don’t know if the next time the White family faces a crisis, you won’t leave me again because of ambition, because of your desire for wealth and power. At that time, not only me but my parents would suffer another severe blow. So… Even though I still have feelings for you, I don’t have the courage to take that risk again.”

she said, “But… I’m grateful for you for saving me tonight. If it weren’t for you, the person injured now might have been me, and I might be lying in the hospital. But…” She bit her lips as if gathering her courage. “Callum, you don’t need to save me again next time. Since we’re not
