Chapter 19 Exposing Those Shameless Lies
But he was not done yet. Kallum continued, "After being rescued I ran a very high fever! I was mostly delirious and it was also Mirabelle who took care of me! And you? Where did you go!"
"In the middle of the night, Mirabelle walked several miles of mountain road to buy me medicine all by herself. But you? You were so scared you ran home by yourself! If it wasn't for Mirabelle, I'd be dead long ago. And now you still dare to ask me why I treat her differently
from you?!"
"Haha, haha, HAHAHAHA!" Calista suddenly burst out laughing.
Her eyes immediately became bloodshot, but simply couldn't stop laughing. She was laughing so hard and at such a high pitch, it was as if she had gone crazy!
Kallum was very angry when he said all that, but was confused at her reaction. "What are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha..." Calista was barely able to contain her laughter, but she slowly loosened her grip on Kallum's collar and her laughter started to lower in pitch, and now she sounded like she was crying. So her love remained unrequited because of this, she thought. What a reason! "Back then, it is true I was afraid of the water and would rather die than jump in..." She looked up and started recounting what happened calmly. "But I saw that you had closed your eyes and was probably going to drown, so at the final moment I jumped in!" Kallum was stunned by this revelation.
"I fought back my greatest fear in order to save you! You had already lost consciousness so you couldn't see how I was trembling all over and nearly couldn't get up! Then Mirabelle came back from picking flowers and seeing that you had fainted, she came over to help me."
Kallum found it hard to believe what Calista said, because it was completely different from what Mirabelle told him. Mirabelle told him that when she came back from picking flowers, Calista was still standing there paralyzed by fear, and she was the one who rescued him in time. Calista slowly calmed herself down, but she was still smiling because it was only now that she found out such a ridiculous thing had happened.
"After that, you ran a fever, I ran a fever too! But there was no medicine nor cell phone signal in the countryside. Mirabelle said she was afraid of the dark and didn't dare to walk outside by herself so it was ME! I was the one who walked several miles of mountain road with a fever! And in the rain! I walked to the nearest town to buy you medicine! After getting medicine, I took one pill and hailed a cab back to the bungalow. But because I was drenched in the rain, I fainted after passing the medicine to Mirabelle. By the time I woke up, I was in hospital because that kind cab driver had driven me to the hospital..."
"After that Mirabelle told me that you had fainted and didn't know how much I had suffered to save you. She even said that if you knew, you would feel guilty and sad, so I told her it's just a small matter, don't tell him..."
Calista started laughing uncontrollably again.
"Now I know...I told her not to tell you what happened, so she told you that she was the one who did all these things that I did! And then because of this you always protected her and distanced yourself from me....HAHAHA is there anything in the world funnier than this?" "Enough!" Kallum suddenly interrupted her, his eyes as sharp as knives. "I want proof! Do you have any proof to all you said?"
"Proof?" Calista glared as fiercely back at him. "Mirabelle said she saved you, did you ask her for proof?"
"So you don't have any proof..." Kallum said as he lowered his eyes, a little unsure of himself. "Proof? I have proof!" Calista had proof?
"Do you still remember the medicine bottle? That small town was quite backward, so they gave the medicine in a small paper bag. But it was pouring outside and I was afraid the medicine might get wet, so I got the pharmacist to use an empty milk bottle to contain fever medication and antibiotics. I turned around too fast and fell down in my haste, and because my hands were around the bottle, the bottle itself didn't break, but the mouth of the bottle cracked, do you remember?" Kallum's eyes opened wide - of course he remembered!
In fact he had asked why the medicine came in this sort of bottle, and Mirabelle explained that it was too humid in the countryside and she used this to keep the medicine dry.
He didn't think much about or suspected her response, but he did remember clearly that the mouth of the bottle had several hairline cracks.
Calista started laughing again, but her eyes were bloodshot and looked frightening. She wasn't even sure whether she was laughing at herself or laughing at others. "....do you still need proof?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
"I had dived into water, ran down mountain road, got drenched in the rain and fainted, and almost got pneumonia! If the hospital still keeps their old medical records you can confirm that I was warded that day."
After she finished talking, the entire room was dead silent.
The evidence she had provided didn't really prove anything, but her expression was filled with such sorrow, as if her entire life had been a lie, and she was filled with hatred and indignance.
Just then, someone knocked on the door behind Calista, startling both of them. "Sorry to interrupt, Officer Wang told me to come and take down your statements, can I come in?"
Upon hearing the voice, Calista suddenly threw her arms around Kallum's neck and bit down on his lip!
She bit him hard and his lip started bleeding.
Kallum let out a small cry of pain but did not push her away. Her gaze was burning, and her kiss was even more intense than her! One kiss was enough to conquer him!
Then he heard Calista's low and cold voice, "This kiss is what you owe me! You owe me for an entire lifetime, but I don't want you to repay me anymore..."
Calista spoke slowly into his ear, with her lips stained with his blood, her eyes staring hard into distance so as to prevent her tears from falling.
"From now on, you and I will go our separate ways. You can forget everything I just said. There's no need to remember, there's no need to prove anything. I wish you and Mirabelle eternal bliss!"
Just as she finished saying what she wanted to say, the person outside opened the door, and got a shock when he saw Calista. Calista's eyes were as frightening as a ghost's!
Calista didn't even look at him and ran out, and because she looked so scary, the officer was too frightened to call out after her.
Kallum remained standing in the room, still trying to sort out his thoughts. Even though Calista had not provided any hard evidence, the pain in her eyes seemed to be enough proof.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
He was young then, and since it was an accident, there was no real need to investigate anything, so he had always been nice to Mirabelle. But now Calista was telling him that he got the wrong person?
The officer who just entered the room could also feel the strange tension and didn't dare to open his mouth. He knew that this man in front of him was an important figure, and wasn't sure if he should still take down his statement...
By the time Calista ran out of the police station, it was already night time and it was starting to rain. She didn't bother finding shelter because she felt that she really needed the rain to wake her up.
In her previous life, she had gone to look for Mirabelle after that fateful night on the cruise, but Mirabelle denied having anything to do with this, saying that she wanted the aphrodisiac for her pet! She also said she didn't know the wine was drugged, saying someone else must have done this and dragged her into it.
Calista did not question her words since Mirabelle was a sweet and gentle girl, and it was also true that there were plenty of women who wanted to sleep with Kallum. But in the end, if it had not been Mirabelle's betrayal, she wouldn't have been captured by Quincy and sent to that research facility. Now she knew that Mirabelle's concern for her was all a sham! Now she knew how scheming this woman really was!
