Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 414

Without wasting a single beat, Kallum decisively stated, “Quarantine area.”

It seemed as though Gunner momentarily lost his composure, taken aback by Kallum's firm directive. After regaining his bearings, Gunner managed to say, “Mr. Kallum, Old Mr. Yancey has already escorted the specialists there, and they will assuredly safeguard Ms. Stafford's well-being. There are numerous pressing issues demanding your attention at this moment, and a multitude of individuals are awaiting your directives...”

Kallum reiterated firmly, “I said, head to the quarantine area.”

“But the people need you now...” Gunner tried to reason once more.

Looking out the car window, Kallum observed the dwindling flames and the fading sounds of gunfire in the distance. He replied softly, yet with undeniable resolve,

“Many people need me? But I, I need her.”

With that singular declaration from Kallum, Gunner understood the gravity of the situation and was prepared to set aside all else to drive straight to the quarantine area.

Outside, the chaos was almost apocalyptic, the world seemed as if it had already been turned on its head. Yet, none of that chaos could outweigh Kallum's pressing need.

Calista required his presence just as much as he needed hers. He longed to be by her side at once, to feel her warmth and ensure she hadn't slipped away from him. His yearning was palpable—he needed her.

For the first time, the quarantine area was a hive of activity. Medical teams from nearly every hospital in the city were mobilized to assist, stabilizing the situation with the infected individuals.

The introduction of Shaun's advanced antibodies, a stark contrast to the original ones which only boasted a mere one percent survival rate against the K Virus, marked a turning point. Of the one hundred and eighty-six initially infected, one hundred and three had been liberated from the scourge of the infection following the administration of these new antibodies.

However, these recovered patients were still under close observation for a potential rebound, and word of their recovery was not to be disclosed. As such, the atmosphere of chaos persisted unabated.

Within this tightly secured quarantine area, where every entry and exit was scrutinized meticulously, even Kallum's uncle, a senator, could not gain entry without special permission.

Inside, Calista lay in a hospital bed, her condition critical but stable under the vigilant care of Shaun and Bowen, alongside other medical experts.
