Chapter 1259
Evelyn cast a worried glance at Callum’s leg, and then to his hands, sighing with a mix of
regret and apology, “Your leg was broken by Lysander’s bodyguard, right? You were just
trying to help us out, and look what happened to you.”
“Don’t talk like that,” Callum gently chided her, “It’s not on you. Plus, I wanted to help,
you didn’t twist my arm. My leg might be busted, but it’ll heal in a few months. So don’t
worry.” Callum’s demeanor was always so mild and easygoing, making him incredibly
comforting and pleasant to be around.
Here he was, the one who got hurt, and yet he’s the one offering comfort.
Compared to Lysander, it was like seeing the stark contrast between benevolence and
cruelty.
Just yesterday, Thalassa had accidentally knocked over a prop, nearly hitting Lysander,
and he immediately suspected her of harboring a grudge.

But with Callum, whose leg and wrist were clearly injured because of Thalassa, he was still
full of kindness, counseling them, not wanting them to blame themselves.
That was the difference between people.
“Mr. Gordon, you really are one of the good ones,” Evelyn marveled with gratitude.
Callum’s warm smile spread across his face as he looked at Thalassa and asked, “What
brings you two here, then?”
“I was just showing my mom around, doing the whole tourist thing. Never imagined we’d
bump into you as soon as we landed. It’s a small world, isn’t it?” Thalassa remarked.
The last thing she expected was to encounter a familiar face in this place.
“Sure it is a small world. Feels like fate,” Callum agreed, then as if something struck him,
he asked, “Where are you staying? I’m over at that hotel.” He pointed to a hotel not too
far from the artificial lake.
Thalassa was surprised, “Really? We’re staying there, too.’
Who would’ve thought, without any prior planning, they’d run into each other and end up
at the same hotel?
Callum chuckled, “We must be cosmically linked. Hey, you haven’t had lunch yet, have
you? There’s this diner nearby, let’s go grab some grub together.”
Thalassa hesitated for a moment, recalling how the last time she went to eat with Callum,
Lysander had shown up and crushed Callum’s wrist.

She was practically haunted by the fear of Lysander.
“Scared Lysander might show up again? Thalassa, this is Eldoria, not Starhaven.” Callum
grinned at her, gently reminding her.
He saw right through Thalassa’s hesitation.

Meeting his smiling eyes, Thalassa felt a twinge of embarrassment. Her panic over
Lysander was all too evident.
To any observant person, it was clear what she was worried about.
But Callum was right. This was Eldoria, not Starhaven. Lysander couldn’t possibly show up
here, could he?
She and her mom hadn’t had lunch yet, and since chance encounters like this didn’t
happen every day, why not share a meal?
“Alright, let’s go,” Thalassa agreed. “This time it’s on me.”
Callum laughed, “You should’ve treated me to a meal ages ago.”
He spoke lightheartedly, putting no pressure on Thalassa, as if they were old friends.
As Thalassa relaxed, she joked back, “You should’ve just said so sooner. I can be a bit
dense. If you don’t spell it out, I’ll never catch on.”
“Like how I have a crush on you and you never noticed?” Callum threw out suddenly, in a
teasing tone.
It was a playful remark, but it packed quite the punch.
