Chapter 264 What Am I To You
Everyone believed that if Harvey, who had been anxiously waiting in the hospital, probably wouldn’t faint- with joy if he heard that Hendrick’s efforts had only yielded such a result. Instead, he might just drop dead from sheer frustration.
Hendrick gritted his teeth as he realized his assumptions had possibly been off.
There’s no way a sharp–tongued woman like Calista ever be controlled by anyone! It’s possible that I have fallen into Kallum’s trap. Perhaps both Harvey and I have been deceived by the illusions Kallum had intentionally created!
In the end, Hendrick left without uttering a single word, taking the police with him under a cloud of gloom. The banquet then resumed its previous merriment. At this point, Calista, who was nestled in Kallum’s arms, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
“With this baby in my tummy, we can consider today’s matter resolved. However, this isn’t a sustainable solution. What about Mrs. Yost who leaked the information? Who is holding her accountable?” she said seriously.
“Gunner.” Kallum seemed notably distracted, his gaze inexplicably unfocused. After exchanging greetings with Silas, he took Calista and left in advance.
Tonight had been a close call, but ultimately uneventful. Both Silas and Wanda breathed a sigh of relief, quickly urging everyone to get some rest.
Ignoring everyone else, Kallum led Calista toward the room. It was as if he was in a trance.
In the corridor, Calista continued,
“The head of the Yost family certainly wouldn’t have known about this. That person wouldn’t do something so foolish. Regina must be harboring resentment toward me and acted on her own initiative. Shouldn’t we deal with Harvey’s situation? I’m worried that after today’s provocation, he might act desperately. Sometimes, people can be terrifying when they lose their minds. After all, even though Harvey has fallen, he still has connections that we’re not aware of.”
“Callie.”
Kallum suddenly halted, not turning back, but his grip on Calista’s hand subtly tightened.
“Hmm?”
In the depth of the night, the open–air corridor was filled with the scent of flowers from outside. The stars were like tiny specks of light, and a gentle breeze was blowing. Setting aside the presence of those who were bothersome, it was a truly beautiful night.
In Kallum’s eyes, however, the person he was holding was even more beautiful.
At that moment, his heart was pounding. He didn’t even dare to look back, for he was afraid that the sight of Calista’s excessively beautiful face might cause him to lose control and do something beyond reason.
His palm was slightly damp, but his grip on Calista’s hand only grew tighter.
“Do you even realize what you’re doing right now? You’ve tied yourself to me completely. If, and I mean if I end up dead, my father won’t treat you the same way I do. Then, you will be in for a rough ride having
Chapter 264 What Am I To You
Calista found that Kallum would often act out of the ordinary ever since he fell ill.
“So?”
She was well aware of everything that Kallum had said. However, she simply didn’t think that his life would be in danger if she was around.
What does Kallum symbolize? If I really had to put it into words, I’d say he probably symbolizes safety.
