Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 418

How did she manage to do that?

Hence, the President asked her with a smile, “Young lady, Kallum has undertaken extraordinary measures on your behalf. What do you have to say in response to his actions?”

Even in her state of disarray, with her appearance far from pristine, Calista's eyes sparkled with an intense, cold brilliance, reminiscent of stars illuminating the dark night sky.

“The only thing I can promise is that I won't let him down,” she declared firmly, her resolve clear.

The President gave a nod of understanding and approval.

At this point in the crisis, betting on Calista's proven skills seemed a more prudent strategy than adhering to more conservative approaches. Her previous success in swiftly handling the Influenza T epidemic stood as a testament to her abilities. Moreover, she had been the one to develop the antiserum; surely, she could handle its side effects as well.

“Very well, you may go... But remember, you have only three days,” he cautioned her.

Kallum exhaled a deep sigh of relief upon receiving the President's endorsement, his gratitude evident as he responded warmly, “Thank you, Mr. President!”

Gratitude was swiftly followed by action; he wasted no additional time and immediately began to usher Calista away. The urgency of the situation was palpable, and Kallum had many responsibilities calling for his leadership. There was simply no time for delay.

As he helped Calista into the vehicle, Kallum chose not to join her inside right away.

Instead, he bent down and tenderly kissed her forehead. “Take a bath when you get home, try not to dwell too much on today, and get some good rest. Just be careful not to wet your wound. We'll talk more after you've had some sleep,” he instructed softly.

“Where are you off to?” Calista asked, her voice hoarse and weak.

“I've got a small issue to take care of. I expect to find you asleep by the time I get back,” Kallum replied, his tone casual yet caring. He gently stroked her hair, his touch reassuring. “Don't worry, Gunner will be there to ensure your safety. Once you're home, you'll be safe.”

Calista felt the weight of the chaos she needed to address and tightened her grip on his sleeve before reluctantly letting go. “All right.”

“Good girl!” Kallum exclaimed, his voice filled with pride at her compliance, which brought him immense satisfaction.

Just as he was about to close the car door, Calista's voice stopped him. “What am I to you?”

What was she to me?

Kallum chuckled, almost amused by her question. Without hesitation, he replied, “Silly, you are my everything!”

His reassuring gaze met hers as he added, “Wait for me to return.”
