Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 118

“I don't know! the Fairchild family has shut themselves away from visitors. Aside from Mirabelle, no one else has seen Kallum himself.”

He bit out the name “Mirabelle” forcefully. In truth, he had no idea about the specifics of Kallum's condition, but the fact that Kallum didn't even go to the hospital indicated that his injuries weren't serious.

As expected, even Jarrett was unaware. Coupled with the fact that the Fairchild family rejected visitors and the number of servants in the house dwindled, the answer became increasingly clear—Kallum had contracted a perilous illness, which was likely contagious.

Moreover, the fact that he put on such a performance in front of her clearly indicated that his condition might be incurable.

He had suddenly returned from Lostaria, a place notorious for its many infectious diseases. The most prevalent among them had been influenza T, which had already been eradicated. However, there was still another virus, a dangerous and highly contagious disease for which there was no known cure—the K Virus.

So it's the K Virus?

Calista felt like laughing but couldn't bring herself to. Kallum had been fine in her previous life and had never once been diagnosed with the K Virus. How could this happen?

Calista couldn't help but recall the few months when Kallum was injured in her previous life. He wasn't allowed any visitors then either. Perhaps Kallum had also fallen ill in her previous life, but he had timely received an antibody injection, making him one of the few lucky ones to survive. That was why he had suddenly returned to the country, spending those few months recuperating at home.

But why did he manage to survive in the previous life but not in this one? Did my presence trigger a butterfly effect?

Calista had to admit that after moving on, she had become much more perceptive. She could easily analyze the details of situations, and her deductions were almost always accurate.

With that thought in mind, she grew restless and sat up.

For the first time since her rebirth, a sense of bewilderment filled her eyes. I had been tormented by the K Virus for several years in my previous life. And in this life, it's Kallum's turn?

“Jarrett, if someone was trapped because of you, and you were probably the only one in the world who could save them, would you?” she asked.

At first, Jarrett assumed that Calista was referring to Kallum. However, he quickly dismissed this idea, considering there was hardly any issue Calista could resolve that the Fairchild family couldn't. His mood improved as he thought of that. He was more than willing to answer that question as long as it wasn't about Kallum.

“It depends on whether this person is worth it or not. He might've been trapped because of you, but it's not like you asked him to do so. No one's forced to do what they don't want to, right? Plus, if saving him was going to be a hassle, you should naturally consider his worth.” Jarrett's eyes beneath his glasses held a ruthless, icy glint as his lips curved into a cold smirk.

Calista nodded in agreement. “Yes. His worth.”
