Chapter 414 I Need Her
Without wasting a single beat, Kallum decisively stated, “Quarantine area.”
It seemed as though Gunner momentarily lost his composure, taken aback by Kallum’s firm directive. After regaining his bearings, Gunner managed to say, “Mr. Kallum, Old Mr. Yancey has already escorted the specialists there, and they will assuredly safeguard Ms. Stafford’s well–being. There are numerous pressing issues demanding your attention at this moment, and a multitude of individuals are awaiting your directives…”
Kallum reiterated firmly, “I said, head to the quarantine area.”
“But the people need you now…” Gunner tried to reason once more.
Looking out the car window, Kallum observed the dwindling flames and the fading sounds of gunfire in the distance. He replied softly, yet with undeniable resolve,
“Many people need me? But I, I need her.”
With that singular declaration from Kallum, Gunner understood the gravity of the situation and was prepared to set aside all else to drive straight to the quarantine area.
Outside, the chaos was almost apocalyptic, the world seemed as if it had already been turned on its head. Yet, none of that chaos could outweigh Kallum’s pressing need.
Calista required his presence just as much as he needed hers. He longed to be by her side at once, to feel her warmth and ensure she hadn’t slipped away from him. His yearning was palpable–he needed her.
For the first time, the quarantine area was a hive of activity. Medical teams from nearly every hospital in the city were mobilized to assist, stabilizing the situation with the infected individuals. Ads by PubFuture
The introduction of Shaun’s advanced antibodies, a stark contrast to the original ones which only boasted a mere one percent survival rate against the K Virus, marked a turning point. Of the one hundred and eighty–six initially infected, one hundred and three had been liberated from the scourge of the infection. following the administration of these new antibodies.
However, these recovered patients were still under close observation for a potential rebound, and word of their recovery was not to be disclosed. As such, the atmosphere of chaos persisted unabated.
Within this tightly secured quarantine area, where every entry and exit was scrutinized meticulously, even Kallum’s uncle, a senator, could not gain entry without special permission.
Inside, Calista lay in a hospital bed, her condition critical but stable under the vigilant care of Shaun and Bowen, alongside other medical experts.
Initially, seven members from the Fairchild family had intended to visit, but stringent regulations restricted access, allowing Shaun to bring only one additional person.
Calista, overwhelmed by discomfort, had her eyes closed. Her neck was swollen, her right cheek puffed up. and she was dealing with two broken ribs in addition to a gunshot wound on her left shoulder.

As Kallum approached the quarantine area, he encountered his uncle, Walter, who blocked his path. “You
go in!” Walter declared, his position as councilor not affording him any leverage over Kallum, who was the true head of the Fairchild family.
“My fiancée is inside,” Kallum stated, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. He would have bypassed Walter without hesitation had he not stood in his way,
Usher visibly agitated with furrowed brows, admonished him, “Do you think this is an appropriate
moment? The whole city is in an uproar! The entire nation is focused on the news of the K Virus leak. The whole world is watching, anticipating whether Chanaea will be the next one to fall victim to the K Virus! And you, you’re needed everywhere to take charge of the situation, yet here you are?”
He continued, “For the sake of the Fairchild family, you should immediately distance yourself from Calista! Otherwise, you’re putting yourself against the entire world, do you understand the consequences of such actions!”
Kallum exhaled deeply, unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt to reveal his sculpted collarbone and chest. “I need to see her right now. Step aside,” he insisted with resolute determination, causing Walter to perspire with anxiety.
“Kallum, this is no trivial matter! With so many people watching at the door, the moment you step in, the whole world will know! For the sake of our family, you cannot do this!”
Kallum’s violet eyes narrowed slightly as he responded, “As long as I have her, I can resolve this crisis, so, I have to take her away.” Ads by PubFuture
Walter was incredulous, grasping Kallum’s arm in a tense grip as he raised his voice in protest. “Calista has now become the nation’s most hated! She brought the K Virus back to our country. It would have been fine if it was just for research, but it turns out she herself is infected with the K Virus! Everything she’s done. before is now under attack from everyone. In this situation, she’s in deep trouble and there’s no escaping the blame. There are plenty of people outside calling for her execution! And you still want to save her at this point?”
Kallum turned to face him, his expression deadly serious. “When I say she can resolve this catastrophe, she definitely can! If you don’t believe me, don’t try to stop me. I know what I’m doing.”
“You’ve been completely bewitched by that woman!” For the first time, Walter lost his composure, his voice booming. “She’s ensnared you! How can you still act like a family head? You’re just like the inept monarchs of ancient times!”
