Chapter 202 Back To The Present
“Nol
In the midst of Calista’s piercing scre
the needle was ruthlessly jabbed into her shoulder. She was unable to resist, left only to watch as the serum gradually disappeared, her consciousness sinking into despair.
“Don’t you enjoy running away?”
Sterling took a step back with a smile, his voice far away.
“You are free now,”
Sterling glared at Calista. “When have you ever begged me on your knees?”
Calista’s smile remained unchanged. “It must have been a dream, I guess.”
She extended her hand, her gun aiming at Sterling’s head. “Anyway, the sight of you just makes me feel uncomfortable. So, you might as well just die.”
In the final moment, Sterling could no longer deceive himself- Calista was truly capable of killing him.
“Wait! Don’t you want to know the secret between Yelená and Quincy? Don’t you want to know why I initially helped them to destroy you?”
The infuriating names that popped up only served to fuel Calista’s anger further.
Calista’s eyes sparkled like blazing fires, and when she broke into a smile, it was startlingly captivating.
“I don’t want to know. I just want you dead right now!”
The moment she pulled the trigger, a voice suddenly cried out. “Mr. Jarrett, run!”
At that moment, Calista suddenly realized something and swiftly rushed toward Jarrett.
Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed. The entire cave began to quíver–an explosion had occurred!
Among the four individuals who had previously surrendered, one was surprisingly a die–hard follower of Sterling’s.
Upon seeing Calista determined to kill Sterling and there was no turning back, he had ignited the explosives on his own body.
At the critical moment, Calista was the first to notice. She moved as fast as she could. Just as the person was about to embrace Jarrett in a suicide attack, she fiercely kicked him away. Holding Jarrett, they fell and rolled toward a nearby cave.
Amidst the loud noise, someone had died, and some were injured.
Due to his distance from the epicenter, Sterling was unaffected by the chaos. Amidst the earth–shaking turmoil, he saw the person who had grabbed him was still intent on killing him. Using all his strength, he broke free and made a dash for the laboratory behind him.

“Don’t go. He’s infected with the virus, and it’s a death sentence. Don’t follow him to his doom!”
“But there’s a fork in the road over there, perhaps there’s a way out. What if he’s infected and spreads the disease to others upon his escape?”
“Either way, leahron is already in lockdown. There is no way he can escape!”
Amidst the chaos, someone cried out, “Quick, we need help! Mr. Jarrett and Ms. Calista are trapped in the cave!”
Jarrett coughed a few times. When he felt the warmth of blood splattering onto his body, he quickly realized it wasn’t his own. Instead, it was…
Calista?”
He reached out and felt a damp warmth with his hand. He tried to sit up but was pinned down tightly. Calista had shielded him from most of the falling rocks. As a result, she was injured.
“Why…” Jarrett was somewhat dumbfounded, he had never imagined that the one to rescue him in the end would be Calista.
“Don’t… move!”
Calista struggled to utter a few words. At that moment, their combined space was less than a cubic meter. It was a good thing they were both thin. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have room to breathe.
Jarrett was filled with turmoil. “You… d*mn it! Why did you have to come and save me?”
Calista found his reaction strange. When the man from earlier tried to commit a suicide attack, he had tried to take Jarrett down with him. If it hadn’t been for her intervention, Jarrett would have been killed in the explosion. Therefore, she didn’t understand why he was blaming her for saving him.
“Do you… wish to die?”
Outside, a group of people were laboriously moving stones, unsure of when they would finish. Suddenly, a group of people burst in, causing everyone to become alert. Nevertheless, Levi’s voice was heard calling out, “Quintus?”
After he finished speaking, he gasped in surprise. “Could it be that Mr. Kallum has arrived?”
Now, everything is completely ruined!
Originally, Kallum had no intentions of entering, but upon hearing the sound of an explosion, an inexplicable anxiety overcame him. Ignoring all attempts to stop him, he barged in without reservations.
The crowd parted, and Kallum, dressed in all black, strode forward. The gruesome scene inside the cave caused a solemn aura to envelop him. The intensity of his burning gaze was enough to sear anyone he looked at.
“Where’s is she?”
Kallum hadn’t seen Calista, and he already had a sinking feeling in his heart.
At that moment, Levi’s trembling finger pointed toward the shut–in cave as she stuttered in fear for the very first time.

“She… she’s inside.”
Calista could feel that her injuries were severe. In such a place, there was no way to administer acupuncture, so she could only wait for someone to come to her rescue.
And so, she lay weakly on Jarrett, readying to close her eyes to rest.
However, Jarrett was in a panic. If she fell asleep with such severe injuries, there was a high chance she wouldn’t wake up again.
“Calista, how are you doing? Don’t fall asleep on me now!”
Calista felt as if she was about to cough up blood when he gently shook her. The sound of Jarrett’s voice ringing in her ears made her head start to throb with pain.
“Don’t speak… It’s noisy!”
Upon seeing that Calista was still able to endure the pain, Jarrett managed to steady his emotions. However, his expression quickly became complicated again.
“Why… why did you save me?”
This was something he just couldn’t wrap his head around. In his eyes, Calista was not the kind of person who would go out of her way to help others. Why on earth did she risk herself to save me? This isn’t like her at all!
Calista merely hummed in response, not uttering a single word. After all, it was she who had brought Jarrett over, and his assistance had been invaluable. She would never allow him to get hurt or die there–it
was a matter of principle.
