CHAPTER 469
Chapter 469 Critically Ill
At that moment, Kallum completely forgot about his plan. He desired to tease Calista to the point of her breaking down, whimpering, and pleading with him. Only then would he have her. He thought that would certainly feel incredible.
At that moment, however, all he wanted was to yield to his own desires. Absolutely, swiftly, and completely. possess her.
“No! No!” Calista was already drained, but she still had her wits about her. “This is Aunt Wanda’s room!”
“Do you still call her that?” Kallum lowered his lashes, a smile playing on his lips as he gently pinched her face. He said fondly, “She’s your mother–in–law, so you should address her so!”
Calista’s face turned a subtle shade of red. “Quick! Get up! Aunt Wanda will be back soon!”
Kallum was somewhat displeased as he pouted. “Fine. Let’s head back and carry on!”
As he spoke, he forcefully suppressed his own desires, lifting Calista into his arms. Calista let out a soft gasp. “Put me down quickly!”
“No way! If I let you go, you’ll just run off, you little rascal. Be good and come to my bed tonight!” Kallum laughed triumphantly. However, at that moment, there was a sudden, frantic knocking at the door.
“Ms. Calista! Mr. Kallum! Mrs. Fairchild has fallen ill!”
“What?” Kallum quickly set Calista down, feeling slightly annoyed, yet without a doubt.
After all, Wanda was eagerly hoping for him and Callie to hit it off. Knowing that they were in the room, there was a chance she would even accommodate him by sleeping in the guest room that day. Therefore, if she were said to have fallen ill at that moment, it was definitely genuine.
Calista’s expression became somewhat complex. Uncertain if it was the effect of the medicine, she surprisingly found herself not wanting to let go of Kallum’s hand.
However, Kallum quickly straightened Calista’s clothes, taking advantage of the moment to touch her. He whispered, “I’ll go check on her first. Call for Old Mr. Yancey, or bring your silver needles with you. She’s having an old ailment, but it hasn’t acted up in a long time. Perhaps your acupuncture might help!”
“Actually…” Calista looked at him anxiously, feeling a bit embarrassed.

In the past, Kallum would get anxious, but not as he was then. Ever since he contracted K Virus, he lived in a constant state of impending death for two years. This experience made him cherish his loved ones r and handle matters with greater maturity. Even after recovering, he maintained this attitude. His urgency at the moment made her feel somewhat embarrassed, prompting her to consider telling him the truth.
However, Kallum was just too impatient. After he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Calista to respond. He quickly kissed her cheek and rushed out the door, leaving Calista somewhat nonplussed. Ah… such a man can actually be quite charming
Ever since Wanda found out that Kallum had gone to her room, she had become somewhat anxious. She knew that if Kallum were to act on his desires before resolving his issues, it would not only inflict further harm on him but also leave unpleasant memories for Callie. Therefore, for the sake of their future happiness, she was truly giving her all.

She dusted her face with the lightest shade of powder, and her lips were coated with a fading balm. Her complexion appeared dreadfully pale, giving off the impression of someone critically ill at first glance, even though she was perfectly fine just moments ago.
Upon seeing Wanda in this state, Kallum was instantly filled with rage.
“What’s going on? Quick! To the hospital!” Their home had everything needed for such emergencies. They had a stretcher, a mobile bed, and even an elevator, so there was no worry about a bumpy journey. Given Wanda’s condition, it was crucial to get her to the hospital immediately.
“Wait… W–Wait…” Wanda knew she had overreacted. She said in a low voice, “I might look a bit frightening. but it seems like my heart isn’t hurting anymore. Let Callie check on me. We have the best doctor in the world right here at home. Why bother going to the hospital?”
“But…” Kallum frowned. Even Callie has her limitations. I’m just worried about delaying the treatment.
Despite being a patient. Wanda was full of energy when she ordered. “There’s nothing to fuss about! Call Callie over!”
Kallum had also become very good–natured. “All right. She and Old Mr. Yancey will be here soon. Don’t speak. Just close your eyes and rest well for now!”
Shaun arrived first, but Wanda didn’t let him examine her. “No. I want Callie to examine me.”
If Shaun were to examine her, her plan would fail.
Shaun touched his nose, wondering if Wanda was dissatisfied with him because he hadn’t been able to cure her chronic ailment for so long. However, why is her ailment acting up today?
It was indeed rather peculiar. Wanda had been consistently taking the health supplements he had prepared for her. It had been a long time since she last had any issues.
After Calista arrived, Wanda clung to her as though she was a lifeline. “Callie, could you examine me? I don’t think it’s serious. I probably don’t need to go to the hospital, right?”
Overwhelmed with concern, Kallum momentarily overlooked Wanda’s unusual behavior. Turning to Calista, he urged, “Callie, can you quickly check on her condition?”
With an expression of helplessness, Calista took Wanda’s pulse. Out of sight from others, Wanda secretly flashed her a thumbs–up, leaving her torn between laughter and tears.
At that point, Kallum asked, “Why hasn’t Dad come back yet? Didn’t you guys call him?”
He wondered if the housekeepers kept making mistakes that day because they were getting on in years.
Upon seeing Kallum about to call Silas, Wanda panicked. “Don’t!”
“Huh?”
Kallum’s piercing gaze swept over Wanda, causing her to lower her head guiltily and cough lightly. She covertly pinched Calista, who only then realized and quickly spoke up.
“Aunt Wanda is fine. It’s just a bit of an imbalance in her vitality. I’ll administer some acupuncture later to help her out. It’s nothing major,” Calista said.
