Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 332

“All right, for the next few days, try to move as little as possible and keep your wound dry.” Calista understood deeply just how little Kallum cared for himself. “If your wound reopens, I won't let anyone bandage it for you, understand?”

“I understand,” Kallum replied obediently.

Calista looked quite relieved and showed a faint fatigue.

“Then, go to sleep.”

Once she finished speaking, she was the first to climb into the new bed. The two beds were separated only by a bedside table, a short distance that nevertheless caused Kallum to hesitate for quite some time.

He glanced at the large bed they usually slept in and then took a look at the newly arrived smaller bed. In the end, he lay down on the large bed.

After the lights had been turned off, only a warm yellow bedside lamp flickered. Lying on his side, Kallum looked at Calista's profile through its glow. For the first time, he felt the night was so cold and seemingly endless.

Tonight, he could still share a room with her. Despite the chill, at least he could see her as soon as he opened his eyes. But she would undoubtedly move out tomorrow, and by then, he wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of her.

His previously disregarded physical pain erupted, particularly around the heart area, where a dense, aching sensation was particularly pronounced.

He was desperate to change the current situation. The mere thought of not being able to see her face in the evenings, let alone hold her, left him feeling suffocated.

Calista was attempting to take back everything she had given him, one by one. He wouldn't allow it. He couldn't accept the cruel joke of gaining and then losing again.

The more he dwelled on it, the more upset he felt. The discomfort kept sleep at bay. It wasn't until midnight that he finally rose from the bed and sat at its edge.

He silently observed Calista, much like a beast lurking in the night. Deep within him, there was an undeniable desire to consume her.

In the end, he couldn't resist and found himself climbing onto Calista's bed. It was a small, single bed and once Kallum got on, it became quite cramped. He carefully lay on his side, yet he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, when he held her once again, he let out a soft sigh. Amazingly, his physical pain seemed to ebb away just like the tide.

He felt a pressing need to take action. There was no way he could simply let Calista move out and completely disappear from him.

When Calista woke up the next day, Kallum was already gone from the room.

She was so exhausted that she had slept deeply the night before.
