The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1259

Evelyn cast a worried glance at Callum's leg, and then to his hands, sighing with a mix of regret and apology, "Your leg was broken by Lysander's bodyguard, right? You were just trying to help us out, and look what happened to you."

"Don't talk like that," Callum gently chided her, "It's not on you. Plus, I wanted to help, you didn't twist my arm. My leg might be busted, but it'll heal in a few months. So don’t worry." Callum's demeanor was always so mild and easygoing, making him incredibly comforting and pleasant to be around.

Here he was, the one who got hurt, and yet he's the one offering comfort.

Compared to Lysander, it was like seeing the stark contrast between benevolence and cruelty.

Just yesterday, Thalassa had accidentally knocked over a prop, nearly hitting Lysander, and he immediately suspected her of harboring a grudge.

No matter how she explained, he wouldn't buy it.

But with Callum, whose leg and wrist were clearly injured because of Thalassa, he was still full of kindness, counseling them, not wanting them to blame themselves.

That was the difference between people.

"Mr. Gordon, you really are one of the good ones," Evelyn marveled with gratitude.

Callum's warm smile spread across his face as he looked at Thalassa and asked, "What brings you two here, then?"

"I was just showing my mom around, doing the whole tourist thing. Never imagined we'd bump into you as soon as we landed. It's a small world, isn't it?" Thalassa remarked.

The last thing she expected was to encounter a familiar face in this place.

"Sure it is a small world. Feels like fate," Callum agreed, then as if something struck him, he asked, "Where are you staying? I'm over at that hotel." He pointed to a hotel not too far from the artificial lake.

Thalassa was surprised, "Really? We're staying there, too."

Who would've thought, without any prior planning, they'd run into each other and end up at the same hotel?
