Chapter 322 Facing Her Fears

As soon as Calista affirmed with a single “yes,” the tension in the room skyrocketed. Everyone fell silent, and as Kallum’s anger escalated, it felt as though the air itself had frozen still.

“What are you doing?” Calista suddenly cried out as Kallum unexpectedly hoisted her up by her waist, striding toward the exit.

“Kallum, put me down!“–

Calista’s strength was no match for him, and by this point, she was also infuriated.

“I am a free individual. I don’t belong to you! On what grounds are you taking me away?”

“We’re about to get married!” Kallum held her even tighter, a flicker of pain flashing in the depths of his eyes, quickly overshadowed by anger. “You’ve been mine for a long time already!”

Wyatt wanted to intervene, but he was powerless despite his eagerness. All he could do was to call out anxiously.

“Kallum! Calista is emotionally unstable right now, your actions will only make her condition worse!”

For a moment, Kallum’s steps faltered, but he resolutely continued on, taking Calista with him.

“My woman has never been this fragile!”

After he finished speaking, he decisively took her away.

“Jerk! I told you it’s over between us. Now let go of me!”

Calista cursed all the way in the elevator. It was probably the most expressive she had ever been. She put up a solid front against Kallum, but behind her sharp demeanor, there was a sense of fear.

IfI fall out with Kallum, would I really become his enemy?

Forced into the car, Calista’s unease intensified, but soon after, Kallum entered and held her tightly..

The comforting embrace carried a fresh scent, yet he trembled slightly as he held her.

Calm down!”

His breaths were quick and shallow, his voice gradually softening, “Calm down, okay? Can we go home?”

After being embraced, Calista actually fell silent. She didn’t say a word, and in the end, simply closed her

eyes.

“Callic…” There had never been a moment when Kallum felt she was so emotionally distant from him. He cautiously kissed her forehead, his expression filled with pain and helplessness.

“I understand you’re feeling awful right now. Is there anything troubling you that I can help resolve? I’ve sought out the best psychologist. No matter what your fears are, we’ll help you overcome them!”

“So, you think I’m mad now, assuming all my actions are because I’ve lost my mind?” Calista sneered, opening her eyes to look at him. “And yet, you’re still sticking by a lunatic. I’m truly touched.”

“Callie!” At last, Kallum couldn’t contain his anger any longer, glaring at her furiously.

“What did I do wrong, why did you suddenly, just so suddenly…”

“I’m aware of my mistakes… the reasons I had to go through all this” Calista’s self–mocking tone was laced with profound sorrow, causing Kallum to instantly calm down. He could see that even though her reasons were unclear–Calista’s pain was far greater than his own.

Realizing that if the issue was not addressed, Calista might be pushed further away by him, Kallum fell silent for a moment before suddenly making a decision.

“Change of plans, we’re heading to the research center!”

Quintus, who was driving, hesitated for a moment before changing the route. However, he didn’t agree with it. Ms. Calista has been traumatized there once before. Wouldn’t this be making things worse?

Just as expected, Calista was extremely resistant. The moment she heard Kallum mention a change of course, her eyes widened, and her voice became sharp.

“I’m not going there!”

However, Kallum had made up his mind. His persistence filled Calista’s eyes with despair, and she reached out to open the car door.

“What are you doing? This is dangerous! Quintus, lock the door!”

Luckily, Kallum was quick to react. He swiftly closed the slightly ajar car door. Did she actually want to jump out of the car?

“I want to get out! I refuse to go there!”

Calista began to lose control over her emotions again. She felt trapped, her eyes red–rimmed. She clutched onto Kallum’s clothes, her grip tight and unyielding

“Jerk! Let me go!”

“No way!” Kallum became even more adamant. “You must come with me!”

The principle he lived by was simple–wherever one fell down, one had to get back up. In essence, she had. to face whatever she feared.

The car sped toward the outskirts, and as they drew closer, Calista’s emotions transitioned from being all worked up to an increasing calmness, eventually settling into a sense of numbness.

“Tell me, what are you afraid of?”

What Kallum truly longed to know was the answer to the question. At the very least, it would enlighten him about his mistakes and what he had missed out.

Calista didn’t respond. As the seenery became more and more familiar, she grew increasingly silent.

Having been reincarnated, she never once considered going back to that place. It was a nightmare she always tried to avoid. As such, she didn’t seek revenge on those researchers, choosing instead to bury their faces along with those memories. Yet, Kallum forced her to relive the past, pushing her to confront her darkest memories.

“Calista, look at me…” Kallum couldn’t bear her silence any longer. He gently held her chin, compelling her to meet his gaze.

“What are you afraid of? Just tell me. I’m your husband, the closest person to you in your life. I promised to protect you from all harm. You can trust me. Please, tell me what’s hurting you, okay?”

Observing his shimmering eyes, Calista drew in a deep breath.

“What if I were to tell you that it was you who hurt me?”
