Chapter 154
Of course, Callum didn’t want to stay in the hospital for long, as it was so suffocating. He only stayed there for several days. After feeling his head starting to recover, he continued his secret mission to win Yvette’s heart. Callum wore a neat suit when he was released from the hospital and then visited Yvette’s office. He wasn’t nervous, but now he felt like killing Yvette.
Upon arriving at the elite building, Callum entered Yvette’s room with a beaming smile, causing her to immediately jump from her chair. Yvette ran to her special guest with a worried look.
“Callum, are you okay p>
“Why do you sound so panicked?” Callum asked, confused.
Yvette swallowed nervously. She couldn’t let it slip that she was the one who indirectly hurt Callum. At that moment, she just wanted to kill her stepsister for always being an obstacle in her life. If Edith were truly dead, she could marry Callum now.
“Actually, I heard a rumor that you were attacked the day I invited you to play golf. But I hope the rumor isn’t true p>
Callum smiled casually, shoving his hands in his suit pockets. “The rumors are true. I was attacked out of the blue p>
“How could that be? Does someone hold a grudge against you p>
“No. But someone has been targeting my fiancée all this time. I was actually hurt protecting my fiancée p>
Yvette clenched her right fist tightly. “I see. You wanted to protect my sister. Thank you for helping me protect her p>
“Yvette, aren’t you curious about Edith’s condition now? I think she’s more likely a victim p>
“After hearing your report earlier, I don’t need to ask for details. Besides, you were the victim of this incident. You were injured p>
“You don’t have to worry about me. The one who should be worried about me is Edith.” A heavy sigh escaped his lips. “But Edith hasn’t paid much attention to me since that incident p>
“Really? You were the one who saved her p>
“Actually, she cares about me too. But I didn’t expect her to care so much about me. Either she’s really stiff or her heart is starting to waver p>
“So, you still want to care about her until now p>
“If this continues, I need someone to talk to before I go home p>
“Then, I can spare some time just to chat with you p>
Callum lowered his head and patted Yvette on the shoulder. “Just let me know when you’re free p>
Besides visiting Yvette today, Callum also returned to work at King’s Group. Callum had suspected that his stepfamily would ignore him because he was never considered human. He was given the position as a board member solely for the benefit of the company. Now, Callum’s goal is to find evidence held by his stepfamily. Thanks to the evidence he has now received, he now knows that Kevin and Diana are the perpetrators who are trying to cover up Yvette’s crimes.
Callum entered his father’s office and walked over to him, who was focused on the monitor. “Father, can I talk to you for a moment p>
“What’s wrong?” Kevin looked at his son with a serious look.
“Actually, I was attacked by someone a few days ago p>
Kevin rolled his eyes as he got up from his chair. “So, what about you p>
“I’m fine now p>
“If you need a break, you should just take a break p>
“It’s okay. I don’t think it’s a big deal p>
Kevin shifted, taking the middle seat on the sofa, and poured his son a glass of tea. “You sound like you’re pushing yourself too hard p>
“But, this isn’t as complicated as what I’ve experienced in the past.” Callum lowered his head, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t want Edith to get hurt again. I was actually attacked because I was protecting Edith p>
Kevin laughed in annoyance, crossing his legs haughtily. “That woman keeps threatening your life, aren’t you afraid of her p>
“No. Edith isn’t at fault in this case, as many people hate her. Moreover, for the past five years, some people have disapproved of our relationship p>
“So, you suspect that I am the perpetrator who attacked your fiancé now p>
“No. I have no proof, so I have no right to accuse you. It’s just that my current position will be detrimental to King’s Group. Will you still keep me p>
“Your position isn’t really that disadvantageous. It’s actually Cliff who’s been causing a mess all this time. It’s your job to clean up his mess. That kid is truly an embarrassment p>
“Then, I’ll work even harder from now on. After all, I have to protect my family too p>
“But aren’t you fed up with the fact that you’ve been suffering because of Edith for the past five years? That woman has never let you live in peace p>
“In fact, seeing her life constantly threatened, I will continue to protect her p>
Meanwhile, Edith is busy preparing for her twins’ birthday party at this luxurious residence. She still doesn’t know about Callum’s condition, as he has begun to improve and been released from the hospital. She just wants her twins to have a happy birthday, even though their father can’t be there.
Although Edith appeared strong, she didn’t want to celebrate her twins’ birthday without Callum. She hated her life full of obstacles, even though she already had adorable twins and a wonderful fiancé. If it hadn’t been for the strange incident, Callum would definitely be with her baking brownies right now.
“Mom, can I call Dad later?” Eliana asked with an innocent look.
“Of course. You can call him before bed p>
“Will dad remember our birthday?” Erdin pouted his lips while watching a cartoon.
“Erdin, didn’t you always say your dad would remember your birthday even if he was busy p>
“But, it seems like today dad will forget about us because he is too busy with work p>
Edith took off her rubber gloves, washed her hands briefly, then walked into the living room. She sat on the sofa between her twins and hugged them lovingly.
Suddenly her eyes were closed, making her surprised.
