Chapter 386 Open Your Mouth
Everyone wore expressions of understanding. Seeing Kallum’s battered and bruised state, they quietly cheered and crowded around the two as they made their way back.
“Did
Du save her?” A series of heart–stopping voices caused a pang of anxiety in everyone watching the
show, lience, the host Zeke softly posed this question on behalf of everyone.
Seemingly grateful to them, Kallum whispered into the phone strapped to his arm, “Shh, she’s fallen asleep.
With a single statement, everyone in front of the television erupted into cheers once again.
Kallum, although unable to see it, could tell that everyone was happy for him. He didn’t seem to feel any pain in his body at that moment. He said sincerely into the phone, “Thank you all.”
Looking at Calista, her face marred with scars, yet sleeping so peacefully, he let out a long sigh of relief.
“Goodnight.”
With that, he abruptly ended the call.
This action had everyone buzzing with excitement. They were all eager to know about the rescue operation. Plus, the words they had exchanged during the crisis were so poignant that everyone was dying to interview them about their feelings at that moment.
Regardless of the commotion outside, Kallum remained unbothered. The Fairchild family usually refrained from public appearances. This time, it was an exception
Thinking back to the moment when Calista had fallen and he had undone his safety buckle without a second thought, Kallum shook his head and let out a bitter laugh. Have I fallen for her so deeply that I’m willing to even sacrifice my life!
When Calista woke up, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Her face was wrapped up like a mummy, as were her hands. Various parts of her body were bound with bandages, making her condition appear quite
severe.
“You’re awake?” Seeing Calista’s bewildered gaze upon him, Kallum suddenly thought that it might not be so bad for her to get a little hurt. At least, she would obediently stay at home and not go anywhere.
Although Kallum had sustained injuries, they were merely minor scratches. Hence, he was now leisurely observing Calista, his eyes filled with the anticipation of an unfolding drama.
“How am I-
“You have something to say?” Kallum walked over to her bedside, looking down at her with a face full of displeasure. “You managed to get yourself into this state just by stepping outside. Do I really need to keep you by my side all the time?”
Kallum’s teasing words left Calista feeling a bit sulky. “My face…”
Kallum chuckled as he bent down and lifted her chin gently. He looked at her completely covered face, his eyes filled with an unmistakable mirth.

hideous creature, I still want you.”
Calista attempted to swat his hand away, only to realize that both her hands were bandaged up like bear
paws
Her left hand had been twisted and broken, while her right hand had been dislocated by Kallum. In other words, she couldn’t even hold a needle now. She was truly rendered useless.
Calista held up her two hands, her face obscured from view. Yet, from her slightly vacant gaze, Kallum. could discern her frustration. She was simply adorable.
He couldn’t help but lower his head, cradling her face in his hands. He pecked her lips, then boasted, “Now, I can kiss you whenever I want. Try resisting me!”
“Kallum!” A wave of frustration welled up within Calista. How have I not noticed before that Kallum is such a shameless individuall
Kallum laughed out loud. He kissed her lips again, then raised an eyebrow in triumph. “You better be careful! After your face has been ruined, no one else would want to marry you. Only a fool like me would stick by your side no matter what. If I were to leave, you’d have no one else!”
With a forceful turn of her head, Calista declared, “I’d rather live out my days alone.”
Kallum smirked. “You’re really not cute at all with that stubborn attitude.”
After saying that, he shrugged. “But who can blame me for liking it?”
Calista chose to remain completely silent.
Shortly after. Shaun brought over a bowl of soup.
“Who are you angry with? Don’t worry, your face won’t be scarred, and your wrist injury won’t affect your flexibility once it’s healed. Give it a month, and I guarantee you’ll be back in good health!” Shaun paused for a moment. “But without you, our experiment might face some delays.”
Upon seeing Shaun, Calista regained her usual cool demeanor. “Proceed with the experiments that can be conducted without me. For those that require my presence, I’ll attend to them once I’m feeling a bit better in a few days.”
“Don’t you dare go anywhere!” Kallum took the soup, his tone stern. “Do you want your hands back? You better behave and recuperate this month!”
Calista looked at him speechlessly. “Who do you think ends up benefiting from all my overtime work?”
Kallum was adamant. “No, even if it’s for me. Be good and take a month off. The world will still keep spinning.”
