Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 326

Calista looked at him steadily, then after a moment, she shook her head with a smile. “For the first time, I realized that you, too, have moments where you escape from reality.”

She spoke with an air of ease. “Broken legs and muscle atrophy are nothing. Keep walking with me, and I'll show you many more interesting things.”

As Calista spoke, she led Kallum inward.

“I'm not going!” He grasped Calista's arm in a hurry. “You're not allowed to go either! Your illness is severe. I'm taking you to see a doctor.”

“What about the truth? Don't you want to know the truth?”

Kallum had never felt such regret before. He wished desperately he could turn back time. “I don't want to know anymore. I don't want to know anything! Callie, as long as you're with me, I don't need to know anything else.”

Despite his denial, the way he looked at Calista as he spoke was filled with sorrow and panic. He chose to believe, as there was no other way to explain everything that had happened.

However, he no longer wished to know the details. All he wanted now was to keep Calista by his side and let all those d*mn things vanish into thin air.

Calista chuckled lightly. “So, you still believe me.”

She clasped his hand in return, a smile gracing her lowered gaze. “But now that it's been said, we can't turn back, can we? Why don't we continue, then? I just asked you, If there's no going back, would you still want to know the truth? You said yes. You wanted to know.”

Kallum's palms were sweaty; he had messed up once again. He shouldn't have come, let alone entered.

The possibility of losing Calista filled him with dread. Yet, as Calista had said, once something was spoken, there was no turning back. His only options were to choose between gaining a clearer understanding or remaining in the dark.

“Have you calmed down? Now, are you ready to hear me out?”
