Chapter 443 I Am Sick Too
I’ve got it! He could feel that if things continued this way, he was getting closer to winning Calista over.
Recently, Calista had been feeling overwhelmed, a sensation brought on entirely by Kallurn. He had been growing increasingly adept at cornering her, leaving her no room for refusal as he pressured her relentlessly.
That day, Calista sought refuge in the hospital to catch her breath, too afraid to return to her school. This was because the day before, Kallum had made a donation to their school for the construction of a new laboratory. He had requested that the lab be named after her, which resulted in everyone at the school looking at her with expressions of admiration. They praised her for achieving success in both love and career at such a young age, saying she had already reached the pinnacle of life.
Kallum seemed to wish that everyone in the world knew she was already spoken for.
She couldn’t bear to think anymore, for it would only make her feel suffocated.
She glanced at her appointment book. Alright, there’s only one patient left for the day. It was now seven in the evening, she decided to have a quick bite before heading home. It’s almost time.
If things got any worse, she really didn’t know where she could hide. Going back to the Stafford residence was out of the question, as Benedict would probably just send her away again.. Oh, right, last time Ambrose was so shocked that he fell seriously ill. I have been so busy that I haven’t gotten around to visiting him yet. The day before yesterday, he had called to say he wanted to come over to thank her personally, but both Calista and Jarrett thought it was best for him to rest, given his poor health. They had agreed that she would visit him next time.
So, she decided it might be a good idea to stay a few days under the guise of visiting a friend. However, she was unsure if Kallum would do anything to Jarrett. They are both adults, so they probably wouldn’t make a fuss over such a small matter, right?
With this thought in mind, Calista slightly curved her lips and pressed the bell.

She called out and after a brief moment, a tall and handsome man walked in. His eyes held a mischievous sparkle. Calista was in the midst of drinking water when she looked up and saw him. She then spat out a mouthful of water in surprise.
“Why are you here again?” she blurted out, causing Kallum to wear a hurt expression on his face.
“So, you really don’t want to see me, huh…
“I…” Calista wiped her mouth, explaining in a lackluster tone, “That’s not what I meant…“
“Does that mean you really want to see me?” Kallum’s eyes lit up again.
At that moment, Calista was struggling to maintain her stoic facade, wishing she could just drop dead right there and then.
She had been planning to sneak away but couldn’t do so now that Kallum had arrived.
She cleared her throat and said, “This is my workplace; you can’t disturb me like this…“.

Recalling the incident that occurred in the room last time, a faint blush emerged on Calista’s face. She said seriously, “During work hours, only patients can see me. So….
“I’m sick too!” Kallum casually sat down in front of her.
Calista looked at him with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong with you this time?”
Kallum held her hands, grinning as he said, “I’ve got a case of touch deprivation, and I’m particularly craving for you…. Hmm… holding your hand makes me feel a bit better!”
“Stop messing around…” Calista wanted to step back, speaking wryly. “I’m not good at diagnosing complex ailments.”
“I’m sure you can.” Kallum’s playful demeanor was tinged with a hint of seriousness. He chuckled deeply. “I’ve fallen head over heels for you. You are my only cure.”
Here we go again…
Calista was utterly helpless against him. Surely, Kallum wouldn’t deny me this last sanctuary of the hospital, would he? If he were to visit every day, I would have to spend the entire day in a state of fear.
“You must be hungry, right?” Kallum asked with a light chuckle, completely in control of the situation. “I’ve ordered a meal from Lavender Lounge Restaurant. Their soup is quite famous. You’re sure to love it!”
He tugged át Calista, but she remained unmoved. “I… I still have patients to attend to.”
Kallum rose to his feet, casting her a glance with an indiscernible smile. “I’m well aware that I’m the last one. Besides, if you don’t want to leave, why don’t we stay here, just like last time, and you can help alleviate my touch deprivation?”
Easing his touch deprivation… Calista resigned herself to being led away by Kallum. There was no one there. If he were to lose control, she wouldn’t be able to escape. Hence, it seemed safer to head outside. Ads by PubFuture
Once they arrived at Lavender Lounge Restaurant, they had barely been seated for two minutes when the dishes started to arrive one by one. The spread was indeed delicious and abundant. However, for some inexplicable reason, Calista was reminded of the last meal of a death row inmate.
Recently, Kallum had been enthusiastically taking her out to eat, from candlelit dinners, themed banquets, and elaborate vegetarian feasts. Is he fattening me up for slaughter?
While sipping her soup, Calista was pondering over this issue.
At that moment, a table nearby suddenly knocked their plates to the floor. The waitstaff rushed over to clean up the mess, and a janitor was called to clean up the leftover food scraps on the ground.
Upon seeing who the cleaner was, Calista’s pupils contracted. Following her gaze, Kallum took a look and then furrowed his brows. “That’s Yelena, what is she doing here?”
Calista shook her head. “After Dad drove her out, I heard she went to find Quincy, but I’m not sure why she’s here. Probably because Quincy didn’t take her in.”
Originally, Yelena was tidying up the floor. When Calista glanced over, she seemed to sense something and looked back, her expression suddenly froze.
“Hurry up and clean, what are you standing there for? The server reprimanded them before ushering the
