Chapter 239 Unexpected Intimacy

Kallum felt that this brother–sister relationship had become their thing. Since their announcement at the banquet, outsiders stopped taking their sibling relationship seriously. Of course, Kallum himself had never taken it seriously to begin with.

“My dear sister, it’s not like I’m paralyzed,” he said.

Even though it was a heavy topic, Kallum spoke about it with a lighthearted smile. There wasn’t a hint of despair visible on his face, even though the pain he endured was far more intense than that of the patients in Corleon. Those patients, under the treatment of Calista’s team, were given painkillers from time to time to extend their lives. However, Kallum had none. From the beginning, he had not taken a single painkiller, enduring the torment of both the treatment and the virus every day. He had grown thinner than before, but his eyes were brighter than ever.

What sustained me back then was hatred. And now, what’s sustaining him?

The fleeting thought merely flickered across her mind before she asked, “I heard you had something important to discuss with me?” She walked over to the desk, raising an eyebrow. “And it’s about Quincy?”

Kallum nodded, admiring Derek’s efficiency. By now, he had already obtained the results of the parental test between Quincy and Harvey.

“Though it might sound absurd, this matter involves you and your father, so I must tell you. Quincy is not your sister, nor is she a part of your family.” As Kallum spoke, Quintus hastily placed a document in front of Calista

Kallum tapped his fingers on the report, his expression serious. “Her father is Harvey.”

As he spoke, he observed Calista’s expression, but to his surprise, Calista was totally unruffled.

Kallum found her reaction odd but quickly dismissed the feeling and continued, “Although it was still unclear why Harvey didn’t acknowledge Quincy as his daughter, Derek had already started investigating. The truth should be unveiled in the next few days.”

“No need,” Calista suddenly interrupted him, her eyes twinkling slightly as she wore a half–smile and added, “I know the reason.”

“You know? So you’ve known all along that Quincy is Harvey’s daughter?” Kallum raised his voice. His expression grew increasingly curious as he thought about Benedict’s reaction. “But you didn’t tell your father…”

Calista glanced at Quintus and suddenly snuggled into Kallum’s arms. Since everyone assumed they were a pair, she would naturally take full advantage of their newly–established relationship.

Kallum, not expecting her to do that, was flustered, but Calista ignored him and sat down on his lap, lowering his voice. “It’s interesting. Let me share it with you…”

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, almost as if she was about to share some intriguing news.

Kallum’s heart skipped a beat as he cradled her, and before he could calm down, Calista’s warm breath tickled his earlobe.

secret or not?”

Kallum felt his heart race and his breathing quicken as he gazed at her. The temperature in the air began to steadily rise.

Would Callic pull away from me if I sent Quintus out of the room?

Suppressing his intense desire, Kallum waited until the tingling sensation subsider before he finally spoke in a hoarse voice. “Go on, I just suddenly thought of something.”

“I see…” Calista leaned in to continue speaking, but she had barely spoken a few words when Kallum flinched again.

That same tingling sensation would assail Kallum whenever her breath brushed against his car. If he resisted the urge to pull away, he could only allow the sensation to course through his body like electric currents, suppressing the urge to groan. He was almost driven insane.

“What’s the matter now?” Calista asked, tilting her head.

Her calm voice ignited passion in Kallum’s eyes, and he eyed her like a piece of meat. The room was filled with palpable tension and heat, as if the air itself was about to catch fire.

Meanwhile, Calista also noticed Kallum’s odd behavior and blinked in bewilderment.

Her adorable look was so captivating that he wished he could devour her.

Quintus silently wiped his sweat, knowing he should leave. However, he had a feeling that the burning might scorch him if he so much as moved a muscle.

The two people in the chair looked into each other’s eyes, intimate as ever. Calista might not notice it, but Quintus, as a man, could distinctly sense the sudden surge of sexual tension between them.

Mr. Kallum has been suppressing it for a whole year, and I know it’s hard for him. But please don’t let it happen in front of me! Please! I dare not move or look!

“What on earth is wrong with you?” Calista, sensing danger, frowned in concern.

She was intelligent, with a resolute and tenacious mind, yet when it came to matters of the heart, she was as blank as a sheet of paper.
