Chapter 256 I Will Definitely Cure You
“Even at this point, you’re still playing these little games. I’m not sure whether to call you clever or shameless. Like mother, like daughter, I suppose?”
After finishing her statement, Calista disregarded the ugly expression on Quincy’s face and turned to leave.
A moment later, the frantic shouts of Quincy echoed from behind.
“Ahhh! Calista! You’ll meet a terrible end! You’re surely destined for a dreadful fate!”
Calista snorted dismissively. She was uncertain about her own fate, but one thing was clear – the current Quincy was now at her mercy, like a toy in her hand.
After taking down Harvey, Calista enjoyed a few comfortable days at home. A month flew by in the blink of an eye, and it was time for Kallum to step out and meet people again.
“Have you heard? The Fairchild family is holding a banquet to celebrate Mr. Kallum’s recovery from a severe illness!”
A reporter inquired to a colleague, “Did you get an invite? This time, Mr. Kallum is determined to prove his health, so he’s bound to invite some reporters!”
The other person chuckled and replied, “Let’s not kid ourselves. The ones who will get to interview him are definitely some big shots!”
That’s such a shame. No reporter has ever managed to get inside Fairchild Manor. I’d love to see what a top tycoon’s mansion looks like.”
On the day of the banquet, Fairchild Manos flooded with guests. Unlike the previous family banquet, they had only invited those close to them this time. The turnout was large, with people from all walks of life. They had even extended an invitation to their rivals.
After all, the banquet was held to demonstrate Kallum’s well–being. Inviting them now was better than dealing with their behind–the–scenes manipulations later.
“Do I look good in this?”
If this were the past, Kallum would never have asked such a question. But now, even though he was sick. his outlook was broader than before. If the old him could be likened to a diamond, with absolute hardness and heat, then the current him was like the sunshine, radiating a brilliant light from within. The silver- blue suit he wore suited him perfectly, enhancing his upright and handsome appearance.
“You do.”
It seemed as if Calista had returned to her previous lifestyle, spending her days studying and taking care of Kallum’s health. After responding half–heartedly, she asked seriously, “Does the stiffness in your joints intensify when you move? Does it hurt more?”
She couldn’t help but ask that after seeing Kaiser struggling with his buttons.
The smile on Kallum’s face faded slightly before he spoke with an air of nonchalance.

Others who had been infected died within a month, but counting this month, he had survived for a year and a month. Apart from physical pain, the other symptoms weren’t too severe. Most importantly, he had Calista by his side. What more could he ask for?
Calista pursed her lips. “With Sterling’s blood, our research has made some progress. Mr. Haught in Corleon has also achieved certain results thanks to those volunteers infected with the virus there…”
Suddenly, Calista shifted the conversation. “Do you blame me? If it weren’t for me, you could’ve used Sterling as a human test subject. Perhaps it could’ve expedited the process of conquering the virus, and you would’ve suffered less…”
With a hint of amusement in his violet eyes, Kallum glanced at her. “Do you really think I’d blame you?”
After all, he was no saint. If it weren’t for his affection toward Calista and she wasn’t the one who killed Sterling, he would never have let this matter slide so easily.
