Chapter 175 A Divergence.
Calista was oblivious to everything. After being held and cleaned up by someone, he was placed onto a plush, soft bed,
By the time she woke up. Kallum had already had his stomach pumped, looking extremely pale. Seeing this, Caista immediately furrowed her brows.
“What happened?” Calism tried to recall, but she couldn’t remember anything. Could it have been the alcohol?
Seeing that she seemed to have forgotten, Kallum felt a twinge of regret. However, he still said, I can’t drink alcohol now, It makes me feel uncomfortable.”
appears
Calista was skeptical. She helped Kallum onto the bed, then turned to Quintus and the others nearby. “Is it really just because of the alcohol?”
Quintus wouldn’t dare to tell the truth. Under Calista’s piercing gaze, he dryly said, “It’s due to the alcohol. After Mr. Kallum fell ill, his body became somewhat peculiar. Old Mr. Yancey just mentioned that Mr. Kallum is not allowed to drink alcohol in the future.”
Only then did Calista believe, regretting that she hadn’t stopped him.
She then asked someone to keep an eye on Kallum while she went off to the research lab. Calista felt it was necessary to discuss the issue with others. A person who could hold their liquor becoming allergic to alcohol due to K Virus?
At Fairchild Manor’s annex, beneath the two–story building, a secret research lab had been established. Over the past year. Calista’s intellectual prowess had won over the respect and admiration of the older experts. Hence, they were rather cordial toward her.
“Is Mr. Kallum all right now?” Bowen Haught asked as he approached. Approaching his sixties, he was the oldest and most experienced among them, excluding Shaun. His demeanor was quite amiable.
Calista gave a nod. “Old Mr. Yancey and the others handled it. I had a bit of a drink earlier and took a nap.”
Seemingly embarrassed about the mishap caused by drinking, Calista didn’t elaborate further. They discussed why Kallum suddenly developed an alcohol allergy, and then the conversation shifted toward the progress of conquering the virus.
Aside from Calista, the sole female expert remarked, “Ms. Stafford, our research direction has been correct. Over the past year, we have made some progress using your blood. However, we seem to have reached a bottleneck now. Without a live test subject, our future research will become very challenging”
Calista was well aware of this issue. However, bringing an infected person back to the country was no easy task. It had taken a great deal of effort to get Kallum back home safely. Even if they did manage to bring someone back, Calista didn’t have the ability to prolong another person’s life. Doing so would severely harm her own health, making it not worth the effort.
“Regarding this issue, here’s what I think…” Pointing to a spot on the world map on the wall, Calista said slowly. “Currently, the majority of K Virus patients are concentrated in the countries in the equatorial regions. Bringing them back involves a great deal of risk. Therefore, I believe we should go there ourselves. After all, once infected, one’s lifespan becomes extremely limited. To meet our research needs, we require a large number of patients, so we have no choice but to go to this place, Corleon.”
I’m not usinal”
Calista stared at him, saying in a nonchalant tone, “Calm down. Since you’re working for the Fairchild family, they’ll ensure your safety. Those places aren’t war zones. We’re going there as a special support medical team, and we’ll have the local government’s support and protection.”
Wayne’s face darkened. “Why would you go to such a dangerous place? You’re well aware that K Virus doesn’t just transmit through fluids. It could potentially spread through the respiratory system in an area crowded with infected individuals! We don’t know enough about it yet. Are we supposed to just recklessly march toward our death?”
Gradually, Calista’s expression turned frosty. “Only Professor Haught and Old Mr. Yancey are allowed to stay,” she said. She didn’t trust anyone else.
