Calista looked exasperated. âHe didnât agree at first, but I spent the entire night persuading him.â
As she spoke, she hissed lightly, drawing attention to her swollen lips. The others exchanged knowing looks, suddenly understanding how Calista had managed to âpersuadeâ Kallum. After all, what man could resist the requests of the woman he loved?
However, Quintus remained skeptical. He couldnât believe that Kallum would abandon his principles over a few kisses.
Calista added. âHowever, heâs really worried about me. Quintus, can you find nine more Parker Guards to accompany us? Otherwise, he definitely wonât be at ease.â
The task immediately disrupted Quintusâ 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.
âDid you sedate Mr. Kallum?â Shaun stroked his small beard, having detected the scent of the sleeping drug.
âAs expected, I canât keep it from you,â Calista confessed openly. She turned to Gunner and asked, âHave you figured it out too?â
Gunner scoffed. He was not as easily fooled as Quintus.
Calista rubbed her temples and said, âI had no other choice. The longer we delay, the worse it is for us. Once Iâve made a decision, I have to see it through, even if he tries to stop me.â
âEven if you decide to leave, Mr. Kallum will surely come looking for you,â Gunner pointed out coldly.
Calista flashed a malicious smile at Gunner. âThatâs exactly why Iâm leaving you behind. Find Silas, then. spread some rumors at the customs. With Silas around and the countryâs stringent measures against K Virus, Kallum wonât be able to leave the country!â
Seeing that she had thought of everything. Shaun couldnât help but ask, âWhat about Mr. Kallumâs acalthâ¦â
Iâll leave that in your hands.â Calista nodded at Shaun, then turned to Gunner. âArenât you leaving yet?â
Gunner snorted and replied, âIf it werenât for the fact that youâre doing this for Mr. Kallumâs sake, I wouldnât listen to you at all!â
After he finished speaking, he hastily left, leaving only Shaun behind.
âWhat should I do?â Shaun asked in a hushed tone.

Itâs not complicated,â Calista said as she rose to her feet and lay Kallum flat. âIâll give you a prescription for

After saying that, he left.
Calista swiftly unfolded the carefully wrapped acupuncture kit. Her expression was complex at first but gradually became resolute.
âLucky you,â 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 personâs 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, Calista was going to administer the Life Extending Needle, which would significantly drain her vitality. Although she wasnât going to completely transfer her life energy to Kallum, it was still a significant sacrifice to ensure he wouldnât die within the month.
Performing acupuncture once a month was the maximum she could do to save him while preserving her own life.
âYou ended up in this state because of me, so Iâm saving you. I just hope you wonât make me regret todayâs decision in the future,â she muttered.
After finishing the acupuncture, Calista could barely stand. She called Shaun in and explained the follow- up procedures.
Seeing Calistaâs pale expression, it was clear that she had sacrificed a lot. Touched, Shaun said, âMs. Stafford, weâve 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, âItâs still too early to speak of love and romance when our lives are still uncertain.â
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.
âShe left?â
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 Calistaâs 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.
âShaun, am Lalready a wreck now?â
Taken aback. Shaun chose his words carefully and replied in a low voice, âMr. Kallum⦠You will get better. Moreover, you are the most group meticulously.
