Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 282

Wanda passed out straight away. When she came to, she repeatedly apologized to Calista's mother, crying so hard that she was gasping for breath.

There was also a very real and incredibly heavy issue weighing on everyone's hearts.

Once Calista fell ill, could she prolong her own life? If not, what would happen to Kallum? Would all their efforts over the past year be in vain?

A series of problems had plunged the Fairchild family into a deep slump. Even when Harvey was sentenced to death, it didn't bring the slightest bit of joy to the Fairchild family.

A day later, Calista finally woke up.

Feeling the familiar soreness in her body, she knew that despite having injected the antibodies, she still hadn't managed to escape. She was still infected.

Indeed, the lucky ones were always in the minority.

“Callie?” A deep, husky male voice rang out. Calista turned to see the extremely haggard face of Kallum. Despite having only been awake for a little over a day, the news of Calista's illness weighed on Kallum's heart like a mountain, leaving him feeling breathless. Consequently, he had visibly lost weight at an alarming rate, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

He hurriedly gripped Calista's hand, cautiously and hoarsely asking, “What... How are you feeling?”

In reality, asking that was utterly redundant. The true torment of the K Virus was its ability to make one feel absolutely miserable!

He couldn't bear to think of the pain Calista must be enduring because the thought would make him wish he had died a year ago! I should have been dead long ago instead of living for so long and causing Calista harm!

Calista shook her head. The pain at the start wasn't too much for her to bear. Considering Kallum's feelings, she didn't beat around the bush and told him the truth straightaway. “Don't worry. I won't die that easily.”

Recalling her previous life, she had employed numerous strategies to prolong her own lifespan. Hence, the struggle to survive was relatively familiar territory for her. At least she wouldn't be as lost and helpless as she was in her previous life.

Calista closed his eyes briefly and spoke in a composed manner. “I'm going to need a lot of traditional medicinal ingredients next. Don't worry. Despite my current condition, I can still prolong your life. Neither of us will—”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Kallum had tightly wrapped her in his arms. His grip was so strong as if it was a desperate embrace before death!

“How could you...” His voice was husky, the tone filled with disbelief! “How could you say so nonchalantly that you won't die? Calista, why would you do such a thing?”

Before Calista could utter a word, she was abruptly pulled into Kallum's embrace. What followed was the rapid beating of his heart and a subtle tremor running through his body.
