Second Chance His Unending Love (Calista Hartwell) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

When their heated encounter finally ended, Fiona’s drunken haze had mainly cleared.

She slipped on a black silk robe and walked over to the bar cart, pouring herself another glass of red wine.

She swirled the glass and looked back at Callum, who was still lying on the bed.

The warm lamplight cast a glow over her skin, bringing out a faint pink flush.

She spoke with the cold authority of a queen. “Leave.”

Her voice was completely different from the seductive woman who had initiated everything just moments ago.

Callum seemed used to this shift.

He calmly got dressed, his eyes clear and steady, and his usual composed demeanor returned.

He walked toward the door without a word.

Killian bristled at the doctor’s words. Hearing phrases like “at your age,” “underlying conditions,” and “take care of yourself” made him feel irritated.

He glanced toward the doorway and wondered if Evander and Calista had heard any of it.

When the doctor suggested Evander stay in the hospital, Killian immediately made the same request.

The hospital staff arranged adjacent VIP rooms for both of them.

Calista stayed in Evander’s room the entire time and sent Olivia downstairs to grab some food.

Evander had always been healthy, and these injuries were

minor for him.

But Calista worried about him anyway and took charge of everything. She handled his admission paperwork and looked after his every need.

When Killian walked into their room, he saw Calista holding a cup with a straw and helping Evander drink

water.

She had carefully sterilized the cup and filled it with warm water at just the right temperature.

She tested a few drops on her wrist to make sure it wasn’t too hot.

Only after checking did she bring the cup to Evander’s lips.

Killian had only seen this kind of care when Calista used to look after him and the children.

He used to find her nagging and fussing annoying. But now he realized this gentle tenderness was something he

could never have again.

Killian walked into the hospital room with a dark expression on his face.

Evander took a sip of water and turned his head when Killian came in, and a small smile curved his lips.

Evander said, “Mr. Frost, seems like your parents didn’t teach you manners. You walked in without knocking “5:56

He said it casually, but everyone knew he was taking a shot at a confident man who cramped up the second he jumped in the water.

Killian’s face darkened even more.

Calista didn’t even notice Killian’s mood. She pulled the blanket up over Evander and said, “Don’t move. I’m going to get the doctor right now.”

An infection would be nasty.

She ignored Killian completely and walked out of the

room.

At the doorway, Calista saw Austin standing there with a sullen look on his face, and she shot him one cold glance before heading straight to the nurses’ station.

Austin followed her, and his voice was bitter.

“Why didn’t you let me stay for dinner today? Why don’t you trust me or protect me? Why don’t you even care if I’m hurt? Do you still see me as your son or not?”

Calista’s answer was short. “No.”

Austin kept following her, and he looked determined to get answers.

He pressed on. “Did you cheat on Dad? Is that why you left the Frost family so easily? Is that why you threw me away without a second thought?”

Calista stopped walking.
