Then, he gently licked her lips and added, “But the pain will go away once I have you...”
With a generous smile, Calista said, “Then dig in!”
“I won't be holding back!”
Kallum pounced, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the room became thick with desire. They had experienced all the intimacy a man and woman could share, stopping just short of the final step. If it weren't for the looming threat of the K Virus, perhaps they could have found even more happiness.
However, the very next day, Kallum received a piece of news that was utterly vexing.
“Are you certain you didn't make a mistake?” For the first time, Kallum questioned the competence of his subordinates.
From all the way in Chanaea, Paul the butler assured him confidently, “No. Sterling has indeed returned. Moreover, he personally came to Fairchild Manor to leave you an invitation. He said he'd like to invite you and Ms. Stafford to attend the Wolford family's banquet.”
The butler paused for a moment, then added, “His complexion was normal and healthy. He didn't look like he had the K Virus at all.”
As Calista listened from the side, her expression gradually darkened. Could it be that those people were as indestructible as cockroaches?
There was no way Sterling could pass through that laboratory where the virus had leaked without getting infected. Moreover, they had even found the blood that he had coughed up. It was clear he was infected, so how could he appear normal?
After hanging up the phone and seeing that Calista was upset, Kallum hastily reassured her, “No matter what he plans to do, don't worry. You still have me.”
Kallum wasn't afraid of the Wolford family's retaliation, as long as they had the capability to do so.
“Right now, Sterling has lost the resources from Jeahron, making it nearly impossible for him to make a comeback. At this point, charges like arms trafficking and profiting from war are enough to bring him down. You don't need to worry.”
Calista shook her head. “That's not it. I was just wondering about the purpose of his invitation to the banquet.”
“He definitely has ill intentions, so we just won't go.”
Suddenly, Calista let out a sigh. “I have a feeling it's not that simple. This action of his seems quite reckless. I think he might have lost his mind.”
Sterling was indeed going mad!
“Check again! You must have made a mistake!” Sterling was frantically clutching a doctor, who looked even more terrified than if he had been seized by a demon!
“Mr. Wolford... um... There's no mistake. You... you have indeed contracted the K Virus!”
