Chapter 314 A Mental Illness

    When Calista came rushing toward them, panic etched across her face, Gunner and the others were visibly startled. Her expression was a stark departure from her usuallyposed demeanor. "What''s the matter, Ms. Calista?" Quintus was the first to react, rushing over to inquire.


    Grasping his hand as though it were her only anchor, Calista eximed, "What should we do? Kallum has suddenly gone into shock! No matter what I try, I can''t wake him up..."


    "What?" The urgency of the situation shocked everyone present. Instinctively, they dashed in the direction Calista hade from, while simultaneously making calls to summon a helicopter and a rescue team. But just as Quintus ended the call, his phone rang. To his astonishment, it was Kallum on the line!


    "Mr. Kallum? But weren''t you..." Quintus started, confused.


    "Quickly..." Kallum''s voice came through, hoarse and trembling as if he was in immense pain. "Quick, stop Callie!"


    "What?" Quintus spun around only to see that Calista had already sped away in a car, disappearing into a cloud of dust.


    Her departure was swift, and it puzzled everyone how she could drive so expertly despite never having learned. Nevertheless, they knew they couldn''t let her get away.


    "Gunner, go find Mr. Kallum, I''ll take some people and follow her!" Quintusmanded quickly, and Gunner led a team inside to find Kallum.


    Calista had vanished without a trace. Though unaware of what had transpired, Quintus, fueled by the urgency in Kallum''s voice, quickly dialed another number. "Pinpoint the location of Car No. 6, immediately!" The response from the radar came swiftly, but by the time Quintus arrived at the designated location, all he found was the car abandoned by the roadside, empty.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    The sound of helicopter rotors thundered in the distance as Kallum, having hastily bandaged his injuries, arrived on the scene.


    Before the helicopter had fullynded, Kallum leapt out, his concern evident. He grabbed Quintus urgently. "Where is she?"


    Quintus, sweating profusely, replied, "Mr. Kallum... When I got here, Ms. Calista was already gone..."


    His words seemed to hit Kallum like a physical blow. Kallum looked stunned and asked again, his voice barely a whisper, "Did you say she''s gone missing?" "Mr. Kallum... I''ll immediately check the nearby surveince footage. We won''t lose track of her," Quintus assured him, though his voice trembled slightly. Upon hearing this, Kallum''s face turned ashen, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead as if he were experiencing a sudden onset of illness.


    "Mr. Kallum! Quick, we need to head back to the Fairchild Manor!" Quintus instructed, his voice urgent.


    Calista''s disappearance sent shockwaves through Horington. After being rescued, Kallum turned the city upside down searching for her over the following days.


    "Kallum, what on earth happened? Why did Callie suddenly run off?" Wanda was fraught with worry. She cared for Calista as if she were her own daughter and rushed to Kallum''s side as soon as he woke up.


    At that moment, Kallum was pacing,


    on the phone, his eyes bloodshot, his voice filled with frustration. "She vanished right there, how could you not find her? If you couldn''t find her, shouldn''t you have expanded the search area?"


    After ending the call, Kallum faced Wanda, suddenly seeming to find sce in her presence. He knew how close Callie was to his mother. "I''m not sure, Mom," he confessed, "Callie suddenly got upset and then she just ran off. I don''t know what I did wrong..."


    "Kallum... Don''t me yourself," Wanda responded soothingly, seeing his agitation. "I''ll call Benedict over, he might know something." However, Calista didn''t seek out Benedict, and when he arrived, he looked visibly distressed, having clearly not slept well for days.


    "What happened? How did Callie suddenly disappear?" Benedict questioned, fraught with anxiety.


    "Benedict, please don''t panic," Wanda attempted to calm him, her expression worried. "We really don''t know. Kallum wanted to give Callie a gift, but something changed drastically after she saw it..."


    "A gift? Yes, that house!" Kallummented, wishing he could turn back time and not bring Calista there in the first ce.


    "What should we do now? Callie hasn''te to see me either, and she''s clearly emotionally unstable..." Benedict was pacing anxiously, his worry palpable.


    Just then, his eyes brightened with a sudden realization. "That''s right, Callie has a mental illness!"


    "A mental illness?" Kallum''s gaze sharpened suddenly, making Benedict falter. Momentarily stuck for words, it took Benedict a long while to gather his thoughts.


    "Right... she''s suffering from a


    mental illness!" he stammered, "Everything was fine until about a year and a half ago. You remember the small banquet your family held right? That was the day you proved Callie''s innocence. From that day on, she seemed like apletely different person. She used to be so obedient and well-behaved, but I don''t know if the events of that day scared her. Her temperament changed drastically, and she


    became prickly and defensive..."


    "Why didn''t you mention such a crucial matter earlier!" Wanda interjected, shocked and distressed that Calista had been suffering.
