Her stubbornness, which used to be deeply ingrained, was now fully exposed, making her even colder and tougher. It left everyone around her utterly helpless.
Paul was at a loss and eventually let out a helpless sigh.
Back when Ms. Stafford had feelings for Mr. Kallum, she was gentle and frail. However, in the face of Mr. Kallum’s disdain and the problems caused by others, she demonstrated unexpected resilience. I already knew right from the start that Ms. Stafford had a tough side about her. While her edges had been dulled due to family circumstances, she was sharp at heart. It was this tenacity that allowed her to hold onto her affection for Mr. Kallum for eleven years without wavering. Despite the oppression from her stepmother, she remained exceptionally bright, and her brilliance shone unmatched in the field of medicine. It’s just a pity that Mr. Kallum is on the brink of death…
A glimmer of moisture appeared in Paul’s eyes at the thought of that.
Suddenly, a phone call came through. Paul wiped his eyes before answering the phone, only to be met with bad news from the very first sentence.
“Hurry back! Something happened to Mr. Kallum!”
“Understood!” The driver instinctively turned the car around, a hint of bewilderment in his voice. “How could something have happened to Mr. Kallum? Wasn’t it said that Mr. Kallum had at least a month’s time left?”
Paul remained silent as he had already figured out what was going on.
At that moment, the Fairchild family was in a state of utter chaos.
Suddenly, Kallum began to vomit blood uncontrollably. Mirabelle was forcibly quarantined, and Kallum
ushed to the emergency room for immediate medical attention.
In the midst of chaos, upon hearing Paul’s return, Kallum, with his eyes closed, grabbed hold of Paul’s
“She…” Kallum mumbled weakly as he struggled to speak.
Paul, feeling sympathetic, clasped his hand in return. “Please don’t worry, Mr. Kallum. I’ve asked the driver to take Ms. Stafford to the hospital…”
Upon hearing those words, Kallum suddenly opened his eyes. His dark purple irises momentarily lost focus, before finally settling intently on Paul.
“You’re lying…” His voice was so hoarse that it was barely audible.
Paul, left with no choice, admitted/with a choked voice, “Ms. Stafford refused to get in the car. She wouldn’t even take the umbrella we offered. She chose to walk in the rain-
Before Paul could finish his words, Kallum coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Shaun had someone rush Kallum into the emergency room, while simultaneously giving Paul a shove.
The doctor held his hand and lied by saying, “Don’t worry, Mr. Kallum. Ms. Stafford still cares for you. As long as you recover, you can be with her again.”
She won’t care about me anymore. Even if I had revealed the truth to her, her feelings for me won’t return. She’s simply that resolute. She even smashed the ring I gave her….
Suddenly, Quintus, who was on the edge of eagerness, carefully removed a chain from around Kallum’s neck. Hanging from the chain was a diamond ring.
Quintus forcefully pressed the ring into Kallum’s hand and said repeatedly,
“Mr. Kallum, the thumb ring may be gone, but the wedding ring is still here! Weren’t you planning to marry Ms. Calista? Only if you survive, can you be with her!”
