Chapter 19 Exposing Those Shameless Lies
But he was not done yet. Kallum continued. “After being rescued I ran a very high fever! I was mostly delirious and it was also Mirabelle who took care of me! And you? Where did you go!”
“In the middle of the night. Mirabelle walked several miles of mountain road to buy me medicine all- by herself. But you? You were so scared you ran home by yourself! If it wasn’t for Mirabelle, I’d be dead long ago. And now you still dare to ask me why I treat her differently from you?!”
“Haha, haha, HAHAHAHA!” Calista suddenly burst out laughing.
Her eyes immediately became bloodshot, but simply couldn’t stop laughing. She was laughing so hard and at such a high pitch, it was as if she had gone crazy!
Kallum was very angry when he said all that, but was confused at her reaction. “What are
you laughing
“Hahaha…” Calista was barely able to contain her laughter, but she slowly loosened her grip on Kallum’s collar and her laughter started to lower in pitch, and now she sounded like she was crying. So her love remained unrequited because of this, she thought. What
a reason!
“Back then, it is true I was afraid of the water and would rather die than jump in….” She looked up and started recounting what happened calmly. “But I saw that you had closed your eyes and was probably going to drown, so at the final moment I jumped in!”
Kallum was stunned by this revelation.
“I fought back my greatest fear in order to save you! You had already lost consciousness so you couldn’t see how I was trembling all over and nearly couldn’t get up! Then Mirabelle came back from picking flowers and seeing that you had fainted, she came over to help me,”
Kallum found it hard to believe what Calista said, because it was completely different from what Mirabelle told him. Mirabelle told him that when she came back from picking flowers, Calista was standing there paralyzed by fear, and she was the one who rescued him in time.
Calista slowly calmed herself down, but she was still smiling because it was only now that she found out such a ridiculous thing had happened.
“After that, you ran a fever, I ran a fever too! But there was no medicine nor cell phone signal in the countryside. Mirabelle said she was afraid of the dark and didn’t dare to walk outside by herself so it was ME! I was the one who walked several miles of mountain road with a fever! And in the rain! I walked to the nearest town to buy you medicine! After getting medicine, I took one pill and hailed a cab back to the bungalow. But because I was drenched in the rain, I fainted after passing the medicine to Mirabelle By the time I woke up, I was in hospital because that kind cab driver had driven me to the hospital
“After that Mirabelle told me that you had fainted and didn’t know how much I had suffered to save you the even said that if you knew you would feel guilty and sad, so I told her it’s just a small matter,
Calista started laughing uncontrollably again:

“Now I know…I told her not to tell you what happened, so she told you that she was the one who did all these things that I did! And then because of this you ways protected her and distanced yourself from. me….HAHAHA is there anything in the world funnier than this?”
“Enough!” Kallum suddenly interrupted her, his eyes as sharp as knives. “I want proof! Do you have any proof to all you said?”
“Proof?” Calista glared as fiercely back at him. “Mirabelle said she saved you, did you ask her for proof?”
“So you don’t have any proof…” Kallum said as he lowered his eyes, a little unsure of himself.
“Proof? I have proof!” Calista had proof?
“Do you still remember the medicine bottle? That small town was quite backward, so they gave the medicine in a small paper bag. But it was pouring outside and I was afraid the medicine might get wet, so I got the pharmacist to use an empty milk bottle to contain fever medication and antibiotics. I turned around too fast and fell down in my haste, and because my hands were around the bottle, the bottle itself didn’t break, but the mouth of the bottle cracked, do you remember?”
Kallum’s eyes opened wide – of course he remembered!
