Chapter 110 Mirabelle Is The Talk Of The Town.
He was trailed by Yelena and Quincy, who made it rather obvious that their visit wasn’t merely to “check in on the sick.”
Calista felt the urge to speak, yet the sharp pain in her throat prevented any words from forming. She could do nothing but listen attentively to Benedict’s chastising tone.
“I can’t believe you, you know. You were supposed to be relaxing on vacation, and yet somehow you managed to get injured and tumble off a cliff? You absolutely scared me to death!”
I fell off a cliff? NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The realization that Benedict was oblivious to her recent perilous adventures caused Calista to exhale a sigh of relief. The implications of anyone discovering her escapades in Lostaria were dire; it would make- her a prime target for any remaining villains, ending her peaceful days once and for all.
However, Quincy seemed less than sympathetic, her voice tinged with acrimony as she remarked,
finally awake. Had you slept any longer, Mr. Kallum would have surely ended up with someone cu’re
Calista fixed Quincy with a piercing stare, her eyes ablaze with intensity.
“Quincy! Stop spouting such nonsense, your sister has just awakened!” Benedict interjected with a tone of
concern.
Yet, it was evident that Quincy was agitated. Far from holding back, she only raised her voice further.
“Am Ically speaking nonsense? It’s the talk of the town! Everyone is buzzing about how enamored Mirabelle is. Despite Lostaria being at war, she rushed to see Mr. Kallum as soon as she got back. And when Mr. Kallum got injured, she was the only one allowed to care for him, no one else was permitted near him If that doesn’t tell you something, what will?”
sudden stab of pain pierced Calista’s heart.
“You said… Mirabelle went to… Lostaria?” Calista’s voice was raspy and strained, each word carefully enunciated.
“Exactly! Just a week ago, Mirabelle went to Lostaria! Then she returned alongside Mr. Kallum! Now, with Mr. Kallum injured, she’s the one tending to him. I’m telling you, your fiancée title is in jeopardy!”
“Quincy!” Benedict exclaimed, attempting to halt her tirade.
But it was too late for Calista.
Seven days prior, the very day she had been captured and when Kallum had abandoned her. Had he left her to fend for herself against life–threatening dangers while he was romancing Mirabelle?
This thought had scarcely crossed her mind when suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Kallum betrayed me!
Once this idea took root, Calista found herself grappling with a depth of hatred she had never known: a bitterness that even surpassed the resentment she harbored toward Quincy.

“Callie!” Benedict cried out in shock. He quickly summoned a doctor. The doctor arrived promptly, first ensuring that all the relatives were ushered out before he began to examine Calista, carefully wiping away the blood.
Calista sank back onto the bed, and in that brief respite, her thoughts regained a semblance of clarity.
No, something must have been overlooked. Kallum isn’t one to play games. He’s forthright, driven by his likes and dislikes, and exceedingly tenacious. He pursued me so relentlessly before, and I find it hard to believe that his feelings could’ve shified se abruptly. Perhaps there’s something I’m unaware of. Regardless, I’m sure I’ll find out the truth once I confront him!
“Ms. Stafford, your current condition is quite precarious. We urge you to steer clear of any severe emotional disturbances. Should you fail to comply, your condition might deteriorate further, complicating our efforts to assist you, the doctor advised with a stern tone.
Calista looked at him, her icy gaze briefly causing the doctor to falter, a rare occurrence in his career.
“I understand,” she responded, her voice still hoarse but significantly steadier than before. “Thank you, Doctor. I will cooperate fully with the treatment.”
She shifted her gaze away, allowing the doctor to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as though he had narrowly averted a crisis. He promptly gave some instructions, left a nurse in charge, and made a hasty
exit.
Calista casta puzzled look at them. Why do I sense this eerie feeling of being feared!
What she did not realize was that her aura had grown markedly more intense after personally taking multiple lives. Her cold, detached gaze now carried an unmistakable sense of danger, instilling deep- scated fear in anyone it landed on.
At that moment. Benedict re–entered, his face marked with concern.
tolerated his chatter for a while before finally speaking up. “Dad, it’s nothing serious. I just coughed up some blood, that’s all. I need to rest now. When you leave, please inform the doctor that only Mrs. Stafford to attend to me. There’s no need for a nurse to be present constantly. If anything arises, I’ll ring the bell”
Initially, Benedict was hesitant to agree, but recognizing it was the first time Calista had sought to be closer to Yelena, he saw it as a positive development. After all, they were family and there was no need to perpetuate any strife.
Upon hearing this, Yelena’s face lit up with a smile. “Absolutely, I’ll take good care of Callie. Oh, Callie, you’ve had me so worried!”
Recently, after Yelena’s return from the Langley residence, she had kept a modest profile. Benedict felt a tinge of guilt since the Langley family had returned their shares. His attitude toward her had noticeably softened. When Yelena realized there was an opportunity to enhance their relationship, she eagerly agreed, fearing Benedict might reconsider.
Quincy had departed earlier. School was already in session and she still hadn’t secured a mentor
Eventually, Benedict consented. “All right, Yelena, please ensure you take meticulous care of Callie this time, understood? If she becomes a bit irritable, as an elder, you need to demonstrate some patience!”
Yelena internally scoffed. Calista’s tantrums are minorThe last incident at the Langley residence was a significant.
