Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 122 Farewell Kiss

He said, "I'll discuss this matter with my family tomorrow. You should get ready to inform your father about the cancellation of our engagement."

The smile gradually faded from Calista's face. She hadn't expected Kallum, even on the brink of death, to arrange this for her.

Had she not been humiliated and given up on Kallum, perhaps she wouldn't have figured out the real reason. But now, she had moved on. She was touched to know his intentions, but she would not fall for him again.

It's just sad, that's all. Perhaps we're always destined to cross paths yet never meant to be together.

Seeing that Calista didn't respond, Kallum, fearing rejection, spoke hastily. "What, you're not satisfied? Listen, the chances of me marrying you are now zero. If you don't accept the goddaughter title now, you'll lose the opportunity forever!"

Calista lowered her gaze, lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at him and flashed a charming smile. She proposed, "Let's do it this way. If you give me one last kiss, we can put all our past behind us. Then, I'll become the Fairchild family's goddaughter."

Calista's suggestion stirred an uncontrollable flutter in Kallum's previously calm heart. His last shred of sanity held him back, yet he found himself unable to utter a word of refusal.

"What do you think? Or are you so disgusted of me that you can't even spare a single kiss?" Her voice held a melancholic undertone as she looked at him, his gaze seeming to carry a hint of sorrow.

This might be his last chance to kiss her.

Though he wanted to refuse, that thought overwhelmed him.

His heart clenched, and ultimately, he succumbed to his desire.

"Don't move!" After a moment of silence, Kallum suddenly made up his mind. He had taken a large amount of inhibitors, so as long as his body fluids didn't touch Calista, the likelihood of him infecting her was very low.

I'll kiss her for one last time. It should be fine as long as it's just a small peck. I'll consider this our final farewell.

Kallum teared up, yet he leaned forward, inching closer.

Unlike Kallum, whose heart was racing, Calista remained calm, regarding him with an inscrutable look on her face. She even noticed his clenched fists and the fascination in his eyes.

At that moment, it dawned on her that he was in love with her.

Kallum's kiss gently landed on Calista's lips. The warmth mingled with a hint of medicinal scent, accompanied by a refreshing taste.

He barely touched her, as if he dared not delve deeper for fear of losing control over himself.

However, he didn't back away quickly as expected. Instead, he

observed her lips at an

uncomfortably close distance. His slightly rapid breathing revealed an inner turmoil, a far cry from calmness.

For a fleeting moment, Kallum had the urge to make Calista his forever.

Calista suddenly spoke up. "Actually... If you want, you can kiss me more. You've taken inhibitors, haven't you? As long as-"

Kallum widened his eyes when he heard that, and before she could finish, he leaned over and planted a few more passionate kisses on her lips.

Then, he pulled her into his embrace and continued kissing her before resting his head on her shoulder, panting heavily. "How did you know?" he asked, out of breath.

He suddenly remembered that she had just met his father. "Did Dad tell you?"

That's impossible. Getting diagnosed with the K Virus is a major issue, and if word gets out, the Fairchild family will be affected. There's no way Dad will tell anyone! Due to the proximity, Calista could hear Kallum's intense heartbeat and said honestly, "I guessed it myself."

"You!" Kallum let her go and recalled how she had provoked him earlier, realizing it was all a game to her. His face flushed red with annoyance.

"Yes?" Calista smiled mischievously and said, "Since you deceived me, why can't I make fun of you?"

Kallum closed his eyes and sighed after a moment of silence. "You didn't tell Dad your guess, right?"

She probably didn't. If she had, she wouldn't be sitting here. She would've either been imprisoned by Dad and only released after I was dead, or she would've been killed outright.

Once again, Calista disappointed him by saying, "I did tell him. I even told him that I might be able to save you on one condition-that I become the Fairchild family's goddaughter." Kallum exclaimed in frustration, "You're crazy!"

He held her in his arms, refusing to

let go, yet the look in his eyes was stern. "Do you know what you're doing? The K Virus is not just a flo It's a global crisis! I'll help you if you want to become the Fairchild family's goddaughter. Why did you do that?"

Calista gazed at the man with a glazed look in her eyes. "Of course, I know what I'm doing. I won't ask for any favors from you. I'll earn what want through my own strength. As for yesterday's matter, I'll let it slide since you were trying to help me even on your deathbed. But don't meddle in my affairs anymore. All I need is for you to believe in me."

Upon seeing the resolute look in her eyes, Kallum knew that nothing he said would change her mind. As expected, she has moved on.

Calista freed herself from his embrace and sat up straight, finally assuming a serious demeanor.
