Chapter 902
In the end, Lillian didn’t say anything but broke free from Callum and got out of the car.
Callum didn’t lower his head until her figure vanished from his sight. He then looked at his slightly trembling hands. The touch just now had once again sent waves of pain surging through his body.
But… he thought, “It won’t be long before the curse can be removed from my body. By then, I’ll definitely be with Lillian!”
When Callum returned to the mansion, Madeline was already waiting there.
During this period, she would come to the mansion every few days to remove the curse from Callum’s body. It required seven times in total to remove it altogether.
But since the process was extremely painful, some people died because they couldn’t endure the pain! Once the curse removal began, it couldn’t be stopped. Otherwise, the side effects would be even more
severe.

“Let’s start, Callum said to Madeline faintly.
“Is it worth it for her?” Madeline said sarcastically. “I heard that she is still with Jerick. It seems that she doesn’t want to be with you. Why haven’t you told her about the curse yet?”
“It’s none of your business,” Callum said coldly.
“Why keep it from her? Tell her how much you suffered for her back then, and she’d probably be willing to be with you right away,” Madeline said, expressing her puzzlement on the matter.
She couldn’t understand why Callum was beating around the bush and hesitating to explain to Lillian what had happened in the past.
“Just do what you’re supposed to do, and I will naturally adhere to the contract. However, if you dare say anything inappropriate to Lillian, I can assure you that you won’t get a single penny,” Callum warned. “You…” Madeline glared fiercely at Callum. She couldn’t understand why Callum was so determined to keep it hidden from Lillian. His stern warning indicated his unwillingness to let Lillian know about this
matter.
When Callum forcibly endured that inhuman pain while removing the curse, Madeline suddenly shuddered as if she understood something.
She thought, ‘No way, Callum… Could it be that he’s afraid he won’t survive the seven times of curse removal? Afraid that if he dies, Lillian will be heartbroken, so he chooses to say nothing.
Is Callum planning to tell Lillian only after he succeeds?
How is that possible? How could there be such a man?’
With shock in her eyes, she looked at that handsome face, now contorted with pain. Her heart was growing more jealous by the moment.
She envied Lillian, such an ordinary woman who could capture Callum’s heart to such an extent. Even if he was misunderstood, even if he endured such pain alone, he seemed willingly devoted.
She thought, “What’s so special about Lillian?”
Meanwhile, while Madeline harbored jealousy, Lillian, at this moment, was sighing in her bedroom.
She was considering whether to give birth to the child.
Although she was really reluctant to give up the child, if she chose to give birth, not only would she face all kinds of criticism in the future, but her parents would also face judgmental stares from others.
It seemed that the solution was either to abort the baby when others didn’t know or… to marry Callum.
Married? She and Callumn… Lillian smiled bitterly. She didn’t expect that she would start to think about this after breaking up for five years.
But if she were to marry for the sake of the child, would such a marriage bring happiness?
Lillian gently stroked her abdomen and fell into thought.
On the other hand, in the hospital ward, Rosalie was a little surprised when she learned that Jonathan intended to let Felix stay with Jennifer in the Youngblood residence.

“But his relationship with the Youngblood family…” Rosalie hesitated. Although she never wanted to impose her grudge against Yvette on the child, Yvette was now in jail and would likely be sentenced severely later. What would the child think of it? Would he harbor resentment toward the Youngblood family?
She wasn’t afraid that Felix would hate her, but she was more afraid that he would hurt Jennifer and Guillermo, and also… Zekiah, who would later reside in the Youngblood residence.
As a mother, she wanted to protect her child well!
“I’ll make sure someone keeps an eye on him!” Jonathan said. “Jen seems to quite like him now. If we forcibly separate them, it might make Jen even more interested in him! Kids always like playing with toys that require a bit of competition, right? But if you put the toy in front of her, maybe she won’t care about it anymore.”
“But Felix is not a toy,” Rosalie said.
“So what? It’s just finding a playmate for Jen. If she continues to like him, then I have a way to ensure he won’t dare to harm her. If she loses interest in him, we can send him away from the Youngblood family,” Jonathan said.
A child wouldn’t make him think that it was a big deal. Besides, Felix should have listened to what he said to Jennifer that night.
Rosalie hesitated for a moment, but she could only go along with it for now. What worried her even more now was whether Zekiah would be willing to recognize her and Jonathan, and also… the issue with the operation on her hands.
Speaking of which, rather than worrying about her hands, she was more concerned that if the operation failed, he would feel even more guilty and blame himself.
The next day, Jonathan went to discuss the operation with Levi. Rosalie took a walk in the hospital’s small park to catch some fresh air. A caregiver arranged by Jonathan was by her side, and some bodyguards stood a bit farther away, clearly there to protect her.
At this moment, a figure walked toward Rosalie. But before he could get close to her, he was stopped by the bodyguards.
“Rosalie, I just want to have a word with you before your operation,” Calvin looked at the person not far away and said slowly.
Rosalie said to the bodyguards, “You don’t have to stand in the way. Mr. Gunner won’t harm me.”
Then she turned to the caregiver beside her and said, “You also step back a bit. I need to have a private conversation with Mr. Gunner.”
The caregiver hesitated, but under Rosalie’s insistence, she still walked away about 100 feet.
Calvin walked to Rosalie and asked, “How are your hands these days?”
“Not bad. It’s suitable for operation,” Rosalie replied.
Calvin glanced at Rosalie’s bandaged hands. “Have you ever regretted holding my hand like that that day? If you had let go of me, perhaps your hands wouldn’t be in such a bad condition now.”
