Chapter 979

“Did you keep all of these from me because you were worried that I’d be heartbroken if you didn’t survive the curse-cleansing process?” It wasn’t until then that Lillian understood why he’d been reluctant to speak back then.

Callum evaded Lillian’s question. “Do you know what awaited me after my narrow escape from death and the thorough cleansing of the curse from my body? It was you, in the hospital, planning to have an abortion and claiming that you no longer had feelings for me, as you loved me no more!”

Every word he uttered then was like a slap to her face.

“I’m so, so, sorry.” Lillian sobbed.

“You don’t have to apologize to me again. Likewise, telling me that you love me is meaningless now,” Callum declared.

However, Lillian still persistently lay her hand on Callum’s cheek. She even added her other hand to it since it wasn’t enough.

“It’s not meaningless. If I once froze your heart and turned it into stone, I’ll warm it up and revive it again. Callum, please give me a chance, okay? Just one more!” Lillian begged bitterly.

Callum lowered his gaze faintly to conceal the fleeting internal struggle showing through his eyes. It had always been simple for her to rile up his emotions merely by pleading to him several times and shedding a few drops of tears.

“A chance? How so?” Callum replied after a considerable amount of time had passed.

“Let’s interact with one another like before. I only need one month, I swear! You have my word that I’ll leave you and not disturb you anymore if you still won’t forgive me and refuse to be with me after that. However, I hope you won’t avoid me within this period,” Lillian elaborated.

“A month?” Callum scoffed. “Am I supposed to believe that you’ll give up after a month and stay out of my life?”
