Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 366

Her eyes, bright as stars, suddenly turned to Horatio. “If Kallum is unharmed, what kind of price would you have to pay?”

Horatio, it could be said, was even more certain about Kallum's situation than Harvey was. Moreover, considering he had already come this far for his own life, he had naturally thought about the consequences of falling out with the Fairchild family.

“Anything you want. It's only fair. After all, I've made such a big blunder unintentionally. I feel extremely guilty,” he said with a smirk.

“Would you give your life if I asked for it?” Calista asked, seemingly in jest. Yet, everyone around them could sense the underlying tension, as if swords were drawn and ready for battle.

Kallum was wracked with waves of intense pain, the kind that could drive a person to madness. Yet he couldn't give in. All he could do was tightly grip Calista's hand. While Calista was buying time and talking to others, she also comforted him by squeezing his hand back. Their fingers interlocked as if nothing could tear them apart.

“What an audacious girl!” Horatio's gaze fell unexpectedly onto Calista. Over the past year, he found her the most troublesome, primarily because she was too mysterious and exceedingly devoted to Kallum.

“Stop trying to stall for time. If Mr. Kallum is unharmed, I'd be the happiest one around. What does it matter if I owe him my life?”

Calista chuckled lightly. “All right. I don't want anything else. I just want Sky Beacon Hospital that's under your name. As long as you agree, we can proceed with the blood test immediately, no delays!”

Kallum's grip on Calista's hand gradually loosened as if the excruciating pain had somewhat subsided. In just a short while, his cold sweat had soaked through his shirt. The double vision he was experiencing also started to fade away.

“Why do you want Sky Beacon Hospital?” That was the largest hospital under his name. It should be unknown to others that he was using the hospital to find a source for a heart.

However, Calista knew.

In her previous life, Horatio managed to survive for several more years due to a millennium-long stroke of misfortune, which surprisingly led him to Sky Beacon Hospital, where he found a suitable heart.

As a result, the patient who merely had a cold ended up “sick” to death. The family received the money, and he got a chance to save his life.

So Calista was now aiming to secure Sky Beacon Hospital first. Perhaps this way, she could indirectly lead to Horatio's demise.

“You simply have to choose whether to agree or disagree.”

Calista's words made Horatio frown, but he thought that even without the advantage of fate, he had other means, other channels. Moreover, he knew Kallum's situation like the back of his hand. There was absolutely no chance for Kallum to turn things around. This time, he was determined to tarnish the reputation of the Fairchild family and force them to hand over that person.

With these thoughts, a glint of resolve flashed in his eyes. He spoke up. “Fine, you can have it your way. Now, let's proceed with the blood test!”

Only then did Calista lift her head to look at Kallum, who, in that instant, opened his eyes.

His violet eyes were clear and bright. At first glance, it seemed like nothing special, but Calista could sense the hidden joy within him.

“Do you still feel discomfort?”

Kallum shook his head, then suddenly lowered it to plant a kiss on her forehead.
