Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 210

“Once I'm better, I'll take you wherever you want to go.”

Yet, Kallum found himself pondering - what if he tragically passed away?

With that thought, he pursed his lips, then said, “Starting from tomorrow, I'll take you around. Consider it as keeping me company!”

Calista nestled in his arms, chuckling lightly. “You must be joking. Given your current situation, how could you possibly go around?”

“But...”

“That's enough. You'll recover. When that time comes, if you still wish for me to accompany you to explore the world, I would be more than honored.”

Kallum gritted his teeth, realizing now, more than ever, that he simply couldn't afford to die!

Calista was feeling a bit tired, so she pulled Kallum under the covers with her. Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“So what do you suggest I do?”

Calista glanced at Kallum, surprised by his unexpected compliance.

“You just need to discourage her without her finding out I'm here. After all, we, as siblings, should maintain some semblance of reputation.”

Kallum found himself contemplating her words. What did reputation matter? If he were to survive, Calista would become his wife and the mother of his future children. However, if he perished, there would be no hindrance to Calista. She could still marry...
