Her Rebirth of Retribution

Calista looked exasperated. "He didn't agree at first, but I spent the entire night persuading him."

As she spoke, she hissed lightly, drawing attention to her swollen lips. The others exchanged knowing looks, suddenly understanding how Calista had managed to "persuade" Kallum. After all, what man could resist the requests of the woman he loved? However, Quintus remained skeptical. He couldn't believe that Kallum would abandon his principles over a few kisses.

Calista added, "However, he's really worried about me. Quintus, can you find nine more Parker Guards to accompany us? Otherwise, he definitely won't be at ease."

The task immediately disrupted Quintus' train of thought. He instinctively acknowledged it and turned around to select capable people for the job.

With everyone assigned with tasks, most of the people left. Only Shaun and Gunner were left.

"Did you sedate Mr. Kallum?" Shaun stroked his small beard, having detected the scent of the sleeping drug.

"As expected, I can't keep it from you," Calista confessed openly. She turned to Gunner and asked, "Have you figured it out too?"

Gunner scoffed. He was not as easily fooled as Quintus.

Calista rubbed her temples and said, "I had no other choice. The longer we delay, the worse it is for us. Once I've made a decision, I have to see it through, even if he tries to stop me."

"Even if you decide to leave, Mr. Kallum will surely come looking for you," Gunner pointed out coldly.

Calista flashed a malicious smile at Gunner. "That's exactly why I'm leaving you behind. Find Silas, then spread some rumors at the customs. With Silas around and the country's stringent measures against K Virus, Kallum won't be able to leave the country!" Seeing that she had thought of everything, Shaun couldn't help but ask, "What about Mr. Kallum's health..."

"I'll leave that in your hands." Calista nodded at Shaun, then turned to Gunner. "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Gunner snorted and replied, "If it weren't for the fact that you're doing this for Mr. Kallum's sake, I wouldn't listen to you at all!"

After he finished speaking, he hastily left, leaving only Shaun behind.

"What should I do?" Shaun asked in a hushed tone.

"It's not complicated," Calista said as she rose to her feet and lay Kallum flat. "I'll give you a prescription for a medicinal bath. It's something I used when I was younger, though I've made some improvements to it. When I'm not here, you'll need to monitor Kallum and ensure that he soaks in it for an hour each day. As for the other treatments, you're already familiar with them, so I won't go into detail. Can you do me a favor and keep watch at the door for now?" Shaun nodded, aware that Calista had her own secrets. "All right, be careful."

After saying that, he left.

Calista swiftly unfolded the carefully wrapped acupuncture kit. Her expression was complex at first but gradually became resolute. "Lucky you," she murmured.

Then, she began the acupuncture. If anyone had been watching, they might have thought she was performing magic!

The needles hovered an inch away from her fingers, yet they could still pierce into a person's skin steadily It was much like the advertised energy technique. In fact, it could also be considered as a form of energy technique.

However, this method of acupuncture, known as the Fortune Needle, was the pinnacle of skill. It was recorded in ancient texts, but those who could achieve it, other than her, had long passed away.

Today, Calistą was going to

administer the Life Extending Needle, which would significantly drain her vitality. Although she wasn't going to completely transfer her life energy to Kallum, it was still a significant sacrifice to ensure he wouldn't die within the month.

Performing acupuncture once a month was the maximum she could do to save him while preserving her own life.

"You ended up in this state because of me, so I'm saving you. I just hope you won't make me regret today's decision in the future," she muttered.

After finishing the acupuncture, Calista could barely stand. She called Shaun in and explained the follow-up procedures.

Seeing Calista's pale expression, it was clear that she had sacrificed a lot. Touched, Shaun said, "Ms. Stafford, we've all noticed your dedication to Mr. Kallum. I believe if he recovers, he will surely not let you down!" Calista sat on the sofa. Smiling wryly, she replied, "It's still too early to speak of love and romance when our lives are still uncertain."

Shaun nodded, understanding this was an unspoken agreement between Kallum and Calista to not involve emotions until everything was settled.

Everything was arranged meticulously. By the time Kallum woke up, Calista and her team were already on the plane.

"She left?"

Kallum remained very composed, uttering only two words before falling silent.

Over the years, everyone had seen Kallum lose his temper. Every time he got angry, it was like a volcanic eruption, scorching those around him. But this calmness was unprecedented.

However, everyone began to tremble with fear. They feared the silence more than the rage. It seemed this time, they were doomed by the Calista's actions.

It was already evening. A light rain began to fall outside, bringing a chill wind in and causing the open window to rattle.

Kallum suddenly burst into laughter. He glanced outside before looking down at his hands and at the excessively pale skin on the back of them. His smile grew increasingly mocking. "Shaun, am I already a wreck now?"

Taken aback, Shaun chose his

words carefully and replied in a low

voice, "Mr Kallum... You will get

Love

better. Moreover, you are the most outstanding person. Even while ill, you've managed the group meticulously. There is no better heir than you."
