Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 143

Despite the outrageous words spoken, Kallum found himself chuckling softly. How could his Callie be so adorable? If it was as simple as that, would she have wagered such a high stake? Would she have instinctively shielded him in a split second without any time to think? Would she have noticed his mood and comforted him?

Calista was too captivating. He could never get enough of her.

Kallum once again traced her back with a somewhat greedy touch. He sterilized the areas he had kissed with alcohol, carefully wiping several times before applying the medicine and dressing her wounds.

“All right, I'll call for Shaun.”

Kallum announced as he rose to his feet, and a wave of relief washed over Calista. She felt as if she could finally breathe again. She didn't understand why his presence behind her had been so oppressive, but she didn't dwell on it. After receiving her injection, she decided to freshen up and go to bed. She was utterly exhausted from the day's events.

Benedict was in a state of disbelief when he learned that Mirabelle was responsible for Calista's injury. Hadn't that girl always presented herself well in the past? How could she have done such a thing?

He wanted to visit Calista, but was rejected. What's more, it was Kallum who personally turned him away. For some reason, Benedict suddenly felt as though Calista was not there as a daughter, but rather as if she had already married into the Fairchild family. Otherwise, why would it be so difficult for him, her father, to see her? Moreover, the attitude of his “son-in-law” was so assertive, his gaze even conveyed a sense of possession, as if Calista was his private property.

“Mr. Kallum! Is Callie really all right?” Even though they were godfamily, Benedict dared not overstep boundaries with Kallum, maintaining the same cautious demeanor as before.

Kallum was fiercely protective of anyone who dared to pry into his woman's life. For some reason, his desire for control had intensified after falling ill. Previously, his focus was on power and control over the corporation, but now, it was centered on a woman.

He was deeply grateful toward Benedict for birthing Calista. However, now that she was in his home, she belonged to him. The old man really seemed to be missing the point.

Quintus wiped his sweat off to the side, he could practically guess what Kallum was thinking. However, he thought that this wasn't fair for Calista as she had yet to marry.

“Callie is doing well, and the Fairchild family won't mistreat her. You can rest assured. As the head of a family, you should prioritize your business, so try not to visit her unnecessarily.”

Kallum spoke with an air of arrogance, his words laced with impatience.

Benedict was stunned as Kallum finished his words. This was his daughter, right? It had to be, right?

“Um... okay, I'll leave Callie in your care, Mr. Kallum.”

Even though he was clearly reluctant, Benedict still agreed to it. His ability to know his place pleased Kallum greatly.

“Good, from now on, avoid any transactions with the Langley family, the Wolford family, and their branch families. Dealing directly with the Fairchild family when necessary should be sufficient.”

Kallum made his demand directly, he knew all too well. If he didn't assert himself, Benedict would surely be deceived!
