Chapter 150 Craving 

As Kallum suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, he slightly curled his lips and said, “Don’t worry. With my current physical condition, I’m not capable of entertaining complex thoughts. Our deal still stands, so you don’t have to worry about me doing anything to you.” 

He paused for a moment before continuing indifferently, “Perhaps this mindset is a bit unhealthy. When everyone else is avoiding me, I find myself particularly longing for someone who doesn’t mind my condition and would come close to me.” 

Upon hearing this, Calista’s wary expression gradually eased. 

She hadn’t expected that Kallum, who had always appeared so composed about life and death, would have such a vulnerable side. However, recalling the warnings from the experts and their repeated suggestions for Kallum to move to a secluded mountainous region for a comprehensive treatment, Calista began to understand his mentality a bit more… 

Kallum was unfortunate because he contracted K Virus. Yet, he was also lucky. Each inhibitor cost over 20 thousand, and he had to take an injection each day. His parents had enough power to pull him back from the brink of death and the capability to hire a team of experts to help him. Above all, he was fortunate to meet her, a doctor with an unparalleled understanding of K Virus. 

Had it not been for his luck, he would have long perished in Lostaria as the nation had a strict policy of eradicating any budding danger and allowing no room for unforeseen incidents. 

Smiling, Kallum continued, his voice laced with a hint of indifference, “Because of all of you, I’ve always thought that I might be the first person to survive K Virus. I never thought of giving up. But when I saw certain looks in people’s eyes, I realized I’ve become a freak, haven’t I?” 

Calista shook her head. “No, you’re not. As long as you still have faith, you’re not a freak.” 

Kallum scoffed. “Then why won’t you kiss me? Is that so frightening to even touch me?” 

Upon hearing the words, Calista lowered her gáze. Suddenly, she looked up and leaned toward his lips. 

Kallum’s eyes widened slightly. In the dimly lit space, he could see her fluttering eyelashes under the glow of the moonlight. A wave of cool fragrance washed over him, making Kallum feel like he was dreaming. 

However, at the last second, he slightly turned his head, allowing Calista’s kiss to land on his cheek instead. 

Although he had been consistently taking inhibitors and Shaun had assured him that his saliva and sweat were harmless, he was still fearful. He couldn’t put Calista in danger because of his momentarily uncontrolled desire

As her lips brushed the corner of his mouth, Calista paused. Up close, the man before her was strikingly handsome. His finely chiseled features were taut. His gaze was directed elsewhere as if he was holding back something- 

Suddenly, Calista smiled and mischievously leaned in to lick his earlobe. 

In the quiet car, Kallum’s breathing instantly became rapid. He turned to look at Calista, his gaze seemingly intent on devouring her. 

Calista giggled. “Actually, you’re just craving a woman, aren’t you?”

Chapter 150 Craving 

She feigned nonchalance as she said, “You’re twenty–three now, which is time when men have the most impulses. Now, not only are your movements limited, but you also can’t be around other people. Must be frustrating, right?” 

Her nonchalant tone stirred up a hint of anger on Kallum’s face. 

Yes, he did crave for a woman! But he had never yearned for anyone else. From beginning to end, the only one who occupied his thoughts was her. 

Yet, she subconsciously evaded everything, attributing his desire for intimacy to mere physical need. Was she really that terrified of him wanting to be with her? 

Did she think he couldn’t survive? Did she think their relationship had no future? Or was it that after the blow she had suffered last time, she had completely let go of their relationship and vowed never to fall for him again? 

Whatever the reason, Kallum found it unacceptable. 

Even if he were to die…. 

But if he were to die, why was he still clinging to Calista? 

The surge of anger came quickly but dissipated just as fast. Kallum’s body suddenly relaxed as he curved his lips in self–mockery. 

Calista’s approach was correct. Talking about feelings at this point was futile. He shouldn’t be so impulsive and forget his current situation… 

The carriage fell silent for a moment. Weary, Kallum leaned back and closed his eyes to rest. 

“Perhaps you’re right,” he admitted. “I… I am yearning for a woman.” 

The deep, husky voice and suggestive words sent shivers down Calista’s spine. She kept her face impassive and tried to focus on staying calm, but in the next moment, Kallum asked, “Can I hold you?” 

“Hmm?” Calista was still processing his request when she was firmly pulled into an embrace. Breathing in her unique fragrance, Kallum smiled, his fatigue instantly vanishing. 

“Do you know?” Kallum suddenly asked. 

Calista responded with a muffled grunt. 

“After we were intimate, I suddenly found myself interested in you. Coupled with your sincere affection for me, at that time, I was considering fulfilling our marriage agreement.” 

However, his tone suddenly turned cold as he remembered something.

But back then, Mirabelle claimed that everything was orchestrated by you. She even said that you those drugs. I didn’t believe her at first, but I still decided to investigate. When I found out it was indeed you, I was so embarrassed and furious that I took you to the hospital to rectify the situation. My distaste for you only grew after that.”
