Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel
Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Awakening Of The Spirit.

Quintus gritted his teeth, turned around, and left the emergency room. He stripped off his protective clothing and dashed frantically outside.

The heavy rain continued to pour, but it didn’t matter. He was determined to replace Calista and reveal everything to her.

He wanted to tell her what Kallum had done for her and inform her that Kallum had not given up on her.

Quintus wanted Calista to know that Kallum was even willing to risk everything to save her.

He wanted to let her know that Kallum didn’t intend to drive her away. He was merely afraid of infecting her, terrified of her dying, scared of breaking her heart.

Mr. Kallum had taken all the blame upon himself, yet the woman he adored despised him. I cannot allow this! Mr. Kallum had saved so many people and accomplished so much, so why is he tormented by physical and emotional pain in his final moments? This isn’t fair!

Unfortunately, Quintus couldn’t replace Calista even though he searched for a long time. Little did he know, Calista had run into an “acquaintance“.

After walking for a while, Calista’s extreme emotions gradually subsided. Her vision, previously clouded by emotions, slowly cleared up. As she looked up at the gloomy sky, she noticed that the rain had stopped.

A luxury car pulled up beside her. She wasn’t surprised at all when she saw that it was Jarrett.

The agreement was to treat Ambrose once a month, and the time had already passed. Jarrett would seek her out immediately as soon as he knew she had come to. Not wanting to return empty–handed, he guessed where she might have gone and decided to intercept her on this road.

His expression was incredibly complex, yet he didn’t utter a word about Calista’s deception to go to Lostaria. He simply told her, “Get in the car.”

Calista nodded as she was also beginning to feel worn out. As the car sped away, leaving a trail of dust behind, she took some antipyretics inside the vehicle and started to rest her eyes.

Upon reaching their destination, Calista intended to check on Ambrose. However, Jarrett forcefully kept her in the guest room.

“Go to sleep! Do you want to spread your cold to Ambrose?”

With a stern expression, he instructed someone to take Calista for a bath, then had her wrapped up in bed.

After struggling a few times, Calista found herself unable to move and thus, resigned herself to sleep. However, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was plagued by endless worries.

Word had reached Jarrett about Kallum. It was said that Kallum had treated Calista well before, but once Mirabelle returned, his affections seemed to have shifted back to the latter. Many were gossiping that Mirabelle was the true object of Kallum’s affection, and he was merely fooling around by entering a relationship with Calista.

He initially didn’t believe it, but seeing Calista’s appearance today, he felt a mix of anger and a slight hint of joy, although he himself didn’t even realize it.

Chapter 117 Awakening Of The Spirit

“Did Kallum bully you?”

Noticing that Calista seemed to have barely slept, Jarrett suddenly broke the silence. Beneath his glasses, his eyes were somewhat mischievous, glinting with an unexplainable light.

Seeing that Calista did not respond, he asked again, “Do you want me to handle Mirabelle for you? You seem to really dislike her.

He sat at the edge of the bed, leaning in just a tad closer as he continued, “Kallum has changed his heart. Don’t you want revenge?”

Suddenly, Calista said with her eyes closed, “No.”

“What?” Jarrett blinked in confusion.

D

“Kallum hasn’t fallen out of love.” Calista opened her eyes. If she had doubted his feelings before, it was no longer the case. Kallum hadn’t uttered a single word when she confronted Mirabelle earlier, which clearly showed that her suspicions were unfounded.

Jarrett gave a light snort and asked, “You haven’t given up on him, have you?”

“No. It’s precisely because I’ve given up that my wits have returned, allowing me to see things more clearly,” Calista replied, her voice hoarse and tinged with a hint of coldness.

Leaving aside all the messy speculations and speaking from facts, Kallum wasn’t the type to change his mind easily. This was evident from how he had disliked her till his last breath in his previous life. Once he made up his mind, he wouldn’t change it.

In Lostaria, he had earnestly promised to marry her. The look in his eyes back then was undoubtedly sincere. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been swayed so easily.

It seemed as though something had been different ever since she returned.

Who was it that saved me? Why did Kallum’s attitude suddenly change? Why were there so few people in Fairchild Manor? Is it really possible that Kallum didn’t know I had arrived? Perhaps not. He knew, yet he put on a show for me, which was clearly aimed to push me away. So, aside from falling out of love, what other reason could there be that kept him from being with me? Threats from others? That’s impossible. Even when overseas, Kallum held a status second to none, let alone back in his home country. Disapproval from his parents? That’s highly unlikely too. Silas holds Wanda in high regard, and Wanda is quite fond of me. The marriage arrangement was essentially set in stone due to Wanda’s adamant insistence. Once all external factors are eliminated, only personal reasons remain. Under circumstances where Kallum’s feelings remain unchanged, only personal reasons could’ve prevented Kallum from being with me.

Jarrett felt somewhat annoyed when he saw that Calista was still defending Kallum. He pulled up the blanket, covering Calista’s mouth as he said, “Don’t idealize men too much. With his power and influence, his heart could change in an instant. Mirabelle is no simple woman either. Everyone in Horington says she’s the perfect woman to marry, which just goes to show how cunning she can be.”

“What kind of injury did Kallum sustain?” Calista asked without responding to his previous statement.

To Jarrett, this was a clear display of Calista’s deep affection, so much so that she was still worried about

Kallum at that time.

He was upset, and his tone of voice only worsened.
