Chapter 124 I Want To Marry You!
Unlike his mother, Kallum pondered over Calista’s words and frowned. “So, you’re saying that you can extend anyone’s life no matter who it is or what sickness they have? Then any dying person will come seeking your help! Won’t this technique bring you harm? If it won’t, then it’s unbelievablet”

Calista chuckled solily. Of course it’ll bring me harm! If such an amazing acupuncture technique was harmless, I would be dominated the world already. I was hunted down in my previous life because I mastered three extraordinary acupuncture techniques,
The first was the Life Extending Needle. This method was rather aggressive as it transferred all the vitality from the acupuncturist’s body to the patient. Essentially, the patient was taking someone else’s life in order to survive. Naturally, this would significantly extend their lifespan. In the end, unless the person died from an accident, old age, or a viral infection, they could live up to the human lifespan limit.
The Life Extending Needle she administered to Kallum was a modified version. She would administer it once every three days, each time only injecting a small amount of her energy into Kallum’s body. Although it did have some detrimental effects on her body, they weren’t too severe.
In her previous life, those people who were desperate to stay alive naturally rejected that. Having it done. every three days was akin to entrusting their lives into her hands.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason she was hunted down. However, in this lifetime, that would not longer happen.
Kallum called out to Calista when he saw her lost in thought. “Calista?”
Regaining her composure, Calista scoffed. “Yes, there is some harm, but it’s not severe. All I need is some rest. If you’re so concerned about me overexerting myself, then pray that we find a cure for the K Virus soon. That way, I won’t have to keep performing acupuncture on you.”
Wanda was instantly overwhelmed with emotion. They had been getting along well recently, leading her to believe she might even have grandchildren soon. It was unfortunate that Kallum fell ill, but despite so, Calista selflessly came to his rescue. Wanda swore to herself that if Kallum pulled through and was able to survive this, she would make him marry Calista.
But now we don’t know for sure, so it’s best not to mention that first to avoid celebrating too early.
“Callie, rest assured that no one will leak the news about your miraculous medical skills. The entire Fairchild family will protect you!” promised Wanda
After receiving Wanda’s assurance, Calista smiled. “Thanks, Mrs. Fairchild.”
“Why are you still calling me that? We’re family now! Silas told me that for the sake of treatment convenience, you’re my daughter from now on,” chided Wanda.
Once Kallum is better, Callie can transform from our goddaughter to our daughter–in–law. Even if he doesn’t get better, it’ll be nice to have a daughter like Callie…
Wanda’s face, initially lit up with joy, fell at the thought of her son’s illness. She had to constantly brace herself for the heart–wrenching possibility of outliving her child. Without a strong mentality, she wouldn’t have been able to bear it.
