Calista looked at the lid that had been lifted in front of her. The scent of the medicated meal hit her instantly. She could discern the ingredients slightly and knew that this meal was indeed very nourishing. Thinking of something, she chuckled inexplicably.
"Aunt Wanda, is there any more stew?" Calista asked.
Taken aback, Wanda quickly replied, "Yes! There''s plenty! You drink first, Callie. I''ll have someone bring over another bowl!"
"No need," Calista said with a light chuckle, sipping her stew. Her words held an ambiguous meaning. "Save it for Kallum. He hasn''t slept all night."
Wanda was overjoyed when she heard those words.
Wanda then opened her mouth to speak twice, but considering how sensitive Callie was, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. After all, I can ask Kallum about it when he wakes up! However, it''s strange. Why hasn''t Kallum woken up yet? Could it be that he''s too tired fromst night?
Wanda''s smile grew increasingly peculiar. Noticing Calista''s gaze on her, she finally uttered with a hint of embarrassment, "Don''t worry. I''ve also prepared some stew for him, but it''s a different kind... Callie, don''t go anywhere today. Just stay at home and rest well. I''ll have someone notify the school and hospital on your behalf."
"No need!" Calista hurriedly intervened,ughing as she added, "I won''t be going to school, but I still need to visit the hospital. I''ll freshen up quickly and be on my way."
Concerned, Wanda asked, "Wouldn''t your body be unable to handle it?"
Once again, Calista revealed her mysterious smile, tinged with a hint of mischief. "My body can handle it. I''m not too tired."
Wanda furrowed her brows when she heard that. Not too tired? Did Kallum refuse Calliest night? Could it be due to Kallum''sck of ability?
The more Wanda thought about it, the more terrified she became. She decided it would be best to question Kallum when he woke up.
Calista pressed her lips together, holding back a smile. She said, "I should freshen up and head out. I have patients waiting for me."
"All right... Off you go..." Wanda was deep in her own thoughts,pletely oblivious to the fact that Calista had hurriedly left the house after merely washing her face and brushing her teeth, barely touching her breakfast.
"How did it go? Did everything work out?" Yulissa''s voice rang out.
Seeing Calista leave, Yulissa guiltily emerged. The night before, the main characters had suddenly disappeared. When Wanda and Ss were searching for them, it was Yulissa who hesitantly revealed the truth. Unexpectedly, Wanda didn''t me her. On the contrary, she praised her enthusiastically, dering she was not cherished in vain.
When Calista was around before, Wanda was concerned about making Calista feel ufortable. Yulissa was also a bit guilty, so she didn''t show up. Since Calista had left, Yulissa''s curiosity got the better of her, and she rushed over to ask Wanda about the situation.
Wanda was jolted awake. "Has Callie left already? This child... She must be shy!"
With a triumphant smile ying on her lips, Wanda held Yulissa''s hand and said contentedly, "We have you to thank for this! It seems everything worked out. I just don''t know why Kallum hasn''t gotten up yet."
Yulissa blurted out subconsciously, "You don''t think he''spletely drained, do you?"
“Ha! What do kids know?” Wanda shot Yulissa a disapproving look. “Kallum has been training continuously since he was a kid. How could that even be possible?"
Yulissa stuck out her tongue, muttering under her breath, "That''s not necessarily the case..."
As they were talking, Kallum arrived. After freeing himself from the ropes, his initial intention was to confront Calista right away. However, looking at his own disheveled appearance, he didn''t want the woman he liked to see him in such a state. In the end, he decided to change his clothes and quickly freshen up before rushing over. Still, he was a step toote.
For some unknown reason, Yulissa felt a pang of fear in her heart upon seeing Kallum''s intimidating demeanor. Feeling guilty, she wanted to make a quick exit.
However, she had barely taken two steps when she heard Kallum''s coldugh behind her.
"Where do you think you''re going?" Kallum asked.
A shiver ran down Yulissa''s spine, causing her to dutifully stand still right where she was.
Seeing Kallum so furious, Wanda disapprovingly chided, "What''s going on? Why are you so angry this early in the morning?"
As Wanda spoke, she revealed that subtly charming smile again. Turning to Kallum, she said, "If not for Yulissa, what would have happened to youst night? Hmph! You should be thanking her right now!"
When Wanda said that, it bolstered Yulissa''s courage. "Exactly! Exactly! You should be thanking me! Don''t forget the thank-you gift!" Yulissa eximed.
The moment Yulissa peeked out, Kallum''s anger red up dramatically. The frustrating memories of the previous night resurfaced, and his gaze was incredibly intense. This terrified Yulissa, who quickly hid behind Wanda after uttering those sentences.
"Where''s the woman who was with youst night?" Kallum asked. That d*mned woman! She tied me up with a permanent knot! I''m going to kill that woman!
"Marsha?" Yulissa hurriedly said, "That woman is an airhead and a flirt. Why bother arguing with her? She didn''t do it on purpose... It''s just that you are too charming, and she couldn''t help herself. So, could you please forgive her?"
By the end of her speech, she had skillfully ttered Kallum.
Kallum was seething with anger. That woman took advantage of my distraction and tied the knots
countless times! I had to exerts
much effort just to cut it loose m not fetting this slide! After all she caused me to lose the opportunityst night!
"Where is she? Tell me!" Kallum demanded.
Upon seeing that Kallum was unwilling to let Marsha off the hook, Yulissa swallowed nervously. "Please, Kallum. Marsha isn''t even eighteen yet! I''ve already scolded herst night. She knows she was wrong. You don''t have to interfere. At worst, I''ll just give up my sports car, okay?"
