Chapter 288 Help Me Scrub My Back
In no time, Calista’s body went taut. Following that, her body convulsed violently, and she passed out.
*Callie?” Kallum anxiously reached out to feel her breath. Upon realizing she was still breathing, he felt a sense of relict. However, his relief was short–lived as rage quickly consumed him. Grinding his teeth, he fiercely questioned those present.
“Is there no other way? Must you do this to her to conquer the virus? Then, what use are you lot to me?”
“Mr. Kallum, this is an unavoidable situation… The outcome of any endeavor requires inevitable sacrifices…” Bowen answered with a hint of helplessness.
“Must she be the sacrifice? Is everyone else dead?”
Kallum’s anger blazed so intensely that it could set the entire laboratory on fire. He glared at everyone present and enunciated. “Are you all helpless without her? Just because you’re not the ones in pain, you remain indifferent and even take a mile while you’ve been given a minute?”

“So you can then suffer where I can’t see?” Kallum raised an eyebrow, looking at her in clear disapproval. But catching a glimpse of her pale face, his heart softened instantly. He scooped her up and carried her back.
After he had fed her, he gently placed the weak woman into the warm bathtub, which was already filled with medicinal solution. The comfort it provided made Calista breathe a sigh of relief.
To put a positive spin on things, her life then was significantly better than her previous one.

Upon seeing that Calista seemed to be doing well, Kallum found himself admiring her resilience.
According to Shaun, the pain Calista experienced after being injected with the medicine was at the human body’s limits. Yet, she managed to endure it. Not only did she retain her sanity and didn’t develop
He wasn’t sure if her past self was someone who could endure great pain, but he understood that all the oddity was likely related to her sudden change in temperament.
Since Kallum volunteered to care for her, Calista had no qualms about bossing him around. To have a CEO scrub her back was absolutely delightful. Although he was lacking in technique, his status was undeniable. At least, she had never imagined she could enjoy such treatment.
She let out a contented sigh. Resting on the edge of the bathtub, she almost drifted off to sleep.
However, it wasn’t as if he truly couldn’t look as he was the one who undressed her.
