Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 416 I Am Here Now
No sooner had he stood up than Calista’s hand reached out and grabbed him.
Kallum was taken aback by the sudden contact, frozen in place, unsure of her intentions. In the next moment, he felt her arms wrap tenderly around his waist.
She nestled close to him, her actions filled with undeniable affection. Words seemed to swell within her, choking her speech as they fought for release. Yet, all she could manage to express through her trembling voice was a heartfelt. “Thank you, I truly… I really need you…
The confusion and disorientation she felt were intense. The terror of being ushered into the quarantine area reminded her eerily of being taken to a research center in her previous life–a memory filled with fear and helplessness.
Even after Shaun’s arrival, her sleep had been restless, plagued with anxiety. However, upon awakening to see Kallum’s face, her heart surged with emotions so powerful they felt explosive, overwhelming her. She had wanted to leap into his arms right then, to confess her fears and the depth of her terror.
Feeling the gentle tremors coursing through Calista’s shoulders, Kallum felt as though something was tugging at his heartstrings with relentless force. T
The sight of her vulnerability gripped him deeply. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, speaking in a voice barely above a whisper. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here now,” he reassured her softly.
Calista remained silent. Kallum’s heart ached at her silence. “I’m sorry, Callie, I arrived late,” he said, his voice laden with regret.
She shook her head slowly, then pulled him into a tight embrace. When she finally looked up at him, she urged, “Go on… They must really need you out there right now.” Ads by PubFuture
Kallum smiled gently, lifting her chin with a tender touch. “I’m here to take you with me,” he said, his voice firm. “They need me, but I need you more.”
Calista seemed almost scorched by the intensity of his gaze. It took her a moment before she could lower her head, speaking in a broken voice. “They wouldn’t let me go.”
Kallum’s resolve hardened, and he patted her shoulder with a comforting gesture. “Leave it to me.”
He turned to Shaun, instructing him to fetch a wheelchair. Once Shaun returned, Kallum helped Calista. finish the remaining medicine. Then, with infinite care, he settled her into the wheelchair.
Calista’s anxiety was palpable as she gripped his hand, her voice shaking. “I caused this K Virus leak. Regardless of the circumstances, they won’t let me go. You should leave first!”
Kallum’s grip on her hand tightened, his smile unwavering and full of confidence. “So what if you were the one who caused the virus to leak? In the entire world, you’re the only one who can conquer it! You should have a bit more confidence in yourself!”
Shaun chimed in from the side, “Exactly! Our experiment has already reached its final stages. The adjusted antiserum is fine in all other aspects, but when it comes to its side effects, we still haven’t found a solution. In fact, after improying the antiserum, the side effects have become even more intense. It could potentially inflict unbearable pain, leading to death. After all, not everyone possesses the strong willpower
of Mr. Kallum.”

He spoke with a sense of urgency. “We are currently at the mercy of panic and public opinion. At this point, even a minor issue with the antiserum could completely ruin the advantageous position we’ve worked so hard to achieve!”
His serious expression turned to Calista. “So, we need you! You are the most gifted and intelligent medical research expert we’ve ever come across. We all believe that you are the only one capable of overcoming this challenge! We’re now bound together, and your fate is inextricably linked with the Fairchild family. In this critical moment, you must have confidence and lead us out of this predicament!”
Shaun’s words struck a chord deep within Calista. Can I… really do it?
Had it been before, she would have been fearless. But after the brushes with death she experienced that night, she surprisingly found herself unsure for a fleeting moment.
Kallum held her hand, his smile reassuring and full of warmth. “Of course! You’re my woman; what’s there to fear? You have me by your side.”
Kallum personally escorted Calista outside. The medical staff didn’t dare to intervene, intimidated by his presence. Eventually, the highest–ranking military officer, surrounded by numerous armed police, blocked Kallum at the entrance of the Protective Security Building.
“Mr. Kallum, she’s the main culprit in this incident. You can’t take her away!”
Faced with the armed police, Kallum didn’t yield an inch. “What if I were to say, only she can resolve this crisis?”
“Mr. Kallum, surely you must be joking. The highest–ranking military officer, a portly man, dabbed at the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, speaking hesitantly, “This is the K Virus. It’s not a trifling
matter….
“The antibodies my people brought have already been tested by you, instantly saving over a hundred lives. These antibodies were developed by Calista. Now, the antiserum for the K Virus is in its final testing phase. Give her three days, and we will surely produce a perfect antiserum.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The sweat on the chubby officer’s forehead was pouring out even more now. He could barely maintain his forced smile, wondering if Kallum was taking him for a fool. Could such a powerful antibody really have come from the hands of Calista? She’s barely twenty years old! Ads by PubFuture
“I’m afraid you cannot take her away, Mr. Kallum. Otherwise, I won’t be able to fulfill my duties,” the officer insisted.
Kallum’s patience seemed to wane, a frown creasing his forehead. His violet eyes, usually as dazzling as the morning sun, now resembled the profound depths of an abyss. A storm seemed to weave around him, creating an inexplicably tense atmosphere.
“Do you have a way to resolve this crisis?” he asked, his voice low and dangerous,
