Chapter 268 The Unrepented Reginal
Kallum opened his eyes. His violet irises were fixated on her. His voice was soft, yet it carried a significant weight. “Without you, my suffering would be greater.”
Calista couldn’t help but look up, and the moment their eyes met, she suddenly felt as if she had been
scorched.
This feeling was somewhat out of control as if something had suddenly stirred the deepest part of her heart. It was a slightly sour and swelling sensation, yet not entirely unpleasant.
After suturing the wound, Calista removed her gloves and stood up. However, her foot had gone numb, causing her to stumble forward and fall directly into Kallum’s arms.
Her ear pressed against Kallum’s chest. Suddenly, he began to laugh, and the muffled sound of his laughter seeped into her ears.
“You can always throw yourself into my arms more often in the future. It makes me really happy!”
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, Calista rolled her eyes and hoisted herself up.
“You should really think about how you’re going to deceive them. They definitely won’t let this go easily. The real question is, when will your health improve?” She furrowed her brows. “Once things are settled here, I have to return to Corleon. It seems like our research on the K Virus has hit a roadblock again. Despite our efforts and the fact that we’re leading globally in this research, it’s still not enough.”
She furrowed her brows, emphasizing her point once more. “It’s not enough!”
Kallum didn’t want to part ways with her. To be frank, his life was hanging by a thread. Despite his strong confidence in himself and in her, he was still terrified of the possibility that one day he might fall asleep and never wake up to see her face again.
“I’ll go with you. I can temporarily delegate my work to my father.”
Seeing his resolute attitude, there wasn’t much left for Calista to say, so she could only agree. “All right. That is if you manage to go abroad successfully.”
Meanwhile, after Harvey learned about Hendrick’s intervention and disastrous defeat, he was so upset that he nearly passed out
After being resuscitated at the hospital, he was utterly baffled. How could Calista possibly be pregnant? If the child isn’t Kallum’s, it’ll be revealed in due time. How could she be pregnant?
No matter how Harvey thought about it, he felt that something was off with Kallum. The Fairchild family was powerful and influential, so it was improbable for them to suddenly intervene in global issues, especially without absolute certainty of success. The only explanation Harvey could think of was that the Fairchild family needed to conquer the K Virus. Therefore, they were willing to spend a large sum of money on it.
Moreover, Regina’s intelligence that night confirmed his suspicions. There were too many areas of doubt. It was clear that something was wrong with Kallum, but they simply couldn’t get him to comply. Even if the Murray family intervened, they didn’t have the ability to force Kallum to undergo a blood test.
“If even the Murray family can’t force Kallum to comply, I’ll have no choice but to escalate the situation. I refuse to believe. I simply refuse to believe that I can’t bring him down!”
With a terrifying thought forming in mind, Harvey made a call with trembling hands. Even if it meant risking everything he had, he couldn’t let Kallum off the hook. He knew clearly that once Kallum got through this sensitive period, he would be the first one to be targeted by the latter. Therefore, Harvey decided he had to drag Kallum down before the latter could make a move.
