Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 111 Do Not Drag Her Into This "Mm," Benedict acknowledged with a nod, then proceeded to offer Calista a few cautious reminders before departing the room.

Throughout this whole episode, Calista's face remained utterly expressionless, as though her facial muscles had completely frozen in place.

Noticing her blank stare, Yelena hesitated before offering a strained smile and saying, "Callie, would you like sfruit? I can fetch sfor you!" She moved toward the fruit basket beside the bed as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Calista replied somewhat curtly, "I'm hungry, I want soatmeal instead." Yelena's face tensed up a bit, and with a tinge of irritation, she responded, "The hospital arranges nutritious meals for patients, and yours should be arriving soon!" But Calista was adamant, "I want the shrimp and cheddar oatmeal from Fortune Lodge right now. Please go and get it for me." Yelena was startled by Calista's forthrightness in making such a demand; her fists clenched as she fought the urge to retort. She faintly recalled the doctor advising Benedict that Calista shouldn't consseafood at this tas it could cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Given the dietary restrictions, Benedict had specifically requested nutritious meal from the hospital.

With a cunning glint in her eye, Yelena thought, I'm not about to harm Calista intentionally. If Calista insists on having that particular meal, then so be it.

"All right! Just wait here, I'll go fetch it for you." With a show of reluctance, Yelena exited the room. Once outside, she instructed her driver to handle the errand while she took the opportunity to visit a beauty salon. It had been stsince she last pampered herself, and she wondered if perhaps Benedict's recent lack of interest was due to her appearance.

After Yelena's departure, a nurse cin to bring the meal to Calista. Calista thanked her, and as the nurse bowed her head to leave, Calista suddenly struck, knocking her unconscious with a swift move.

It was fortunate the nurse was a young woman; had it been a man, Calista doubted she would have had the strength for such an action.

Quickly, Calista changed into the nurse's clothes, donned a mask, and made her exit.

She was determined to see for herself what exactly was happening with Kallum.

He better not disappoint me, or else...

"Kal, please have sto eat," Mirabelle said, her expression troubled.

She possessed large, almond-shaped eyes that radiated pure beauty, and at that moment, her slightly furrowed brows made her appear as though she had been wronged.

Kallum, with his eyes closed, felt a surge of revulsion. He had never liked Mirabelle's frail and delicate demeanor His improved treatment of her was solely out of gratitude for her role in saving him. But now even that was under scrutiny. Considering the situation with Xander, Mirabelle did not strike him as someone who would put others before herself.

Noticing her persistent care, a mischievous smile crept onto Kallum's face. I wonder if Mirabelle would continue to show such concern f she knew about the K Virus I've contracted.

"Mr. Kallum, it's tfor your medication," Shaun informed him, his hands filled with a variety of about a dozen different pills. It seemed Kallum was practically living on medication rather than food at this point. Mirabelle appeared skeptical, feigning innocence as she inquired, "Old Mr. Yancey, Mr. Kallum has only a gunshot wound, why does he need so many medications and such intensive treatment every day?" Shaun shot her a brief look. "Are you the one treating him or am I? Do you really think you know better than a medical professional?" His blunt retort left Mirabelle's face cycling through various shades of pallor. She pursed her lips and fell silent, shocked by the audacity of the mere family doctor to speak so bluntly.

After the confrontation, Kallum took his medicine. The virus inside him had flared up fiercely, leaving him vulnerable. The virus, coupled with the recent gunshot, had nearly ended his life on Mount Goldfall. Yet, despite everything, Kallum held on.

After Kallum's secret return to the country, Shaun made an astonishing discovery. A needle had begun to protrude from Kallum's chest.

Shaun recognized the needle as one Calista had inserted, initially believed to be an Energy Locking Needle. But now, he realized it was actually a Heart Needle, designed to preserve life in eritical moments, far exceeding the usual duration Эл of effectiveness due to the skill of its administration.

Yet, Kallum had explicitly instructed him not to seek out Calista, insisting on keeping his previous act of saving her and forgoing the administration of the antibody confidential. He had forbiddany mention of it, to the point that even Calista was unaware of who had risked everything to save her.

As Kallum swallowed his pills, Shaun sighed, once again advising him, "That person is incredibly capable. If we could just bring her in, perhaps..." There might be a chance.

Kallum cut him off with a slight purse of his lips and a sidelong glance.

"How old is she? Do you not m N understand my situation?" His gaze dimmed. "Let's not drag another person into this."

He was clear in his message. He didn't believe Calista could overcthe formidable K Vikus Moreover, e apyone close to him would be at significant risk. He feared for Calista, not wanting her to face the sfate.

Everyone infected with the K Virus was fated to die within a monthm Despite all efforts by the Fairchilds to treat him and extend his life, his demise could occur at any time. He wished for no one, especially not the woman he deeply loved, to witness his tragic end.
