As she thought back on the experiment, she realized there hadn’t been any major issues, and it had proceeded rather smoothly. The thought of Horatio being exasperated by her brought a slight smirk to Calista’s face. Clad in her clothes, she drifted off into dreamland.

When Kallum woke up, he was overwhelmed with a feeling of soreness throughout his body.

He sat up, and the first words out of his mouth were, “Where’s Callie?”

Shaun promptly replied, “She’s in the next room. I’ll go and get her right away.”

“Next room?”

Kallum ceased his action of massaging his head. “It’s fine. No need to call her. Let her rest a bit more.

However, he couldn’t afford to rest. The Ingram family had suddenly pulled such a stunt, and they had been secretly observing him for a year. They might even be holding some unknown evidence in their hands. He had to deal with them first and foremost.

The thought of Horatio actually setting his sights on Calista made Kallum seethe with anger. He asked coldly. “How is my health now? Have I fully recovered?”

“No, Mr. Kallum. You still need to cooperate with the examination. You might feel unwell for a considerable period, a side effect of the antiserum. Aside from the pain, we haven’t found any other side effects for now. The blood test shows that the K Virus has been eliminated.”

Upon saying this, Shaun couldn’t help but congratulate him, “Mr. Kallum, welcome back to the realm of good health!”

Kallum was sure of himself, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. “Very good.”

He had an idea and instructed, “You remember those people who were framed by Harvey and sent to the quarantine area, don’t you? Once the research is successful, we can use them for experiments. I’m sure they’ll be more than willing.”

“Yes, Mr. Kallum.”

“Also, about Mom and Dad… Go and tell them about my situation.”

Shaun was somewhat puzzled. “Mr. Kallum, aren’t you going to announce the good news to them yourself?”

“I’m still in a lot of discomfort!” Kallum shifted his body uneasily, his eyes flashing with determination. “And there are still a few nuisances waiting for me to deal with!”

On one side, Quintus, who was seething with anger, seemed eager to take action. He said, “Mr. Kallum, given how that old geezer treated you, how should we deal with him?”

As Kallum let out a cold, mocking laugh, a glint of icy light flashed across his eyes.

“I want him to come begging to me in tears!”

In a state of half–sleep, Calista suddenly noticed a figure approaching, causing her to jolt upright in alarm..

“You… You’re awake?”

She rubbed her eyes, asking absentmindedly. “How do you feel? Why didn’t Old Mr. Yancey wake me up? How long was I asleep?”

Kallum chuckled lightly. “I feel fine. I didn’t let him call you. The task of observing and analyzing can be left to them. You should rest a bit more. They told me you haven’t slept for over forty hours,”

In the end, he wore an expression of disagreement.

In a soft voice, Calista said, “Isn’t it all for today?”

She paused for a moment, initially deciding to withhold her thoughts, but eventually, she voiced them out. “Horatio has a grudge against me, which is why I’m constantly on guard against him. These past few days, I’ve been working non–stop, just preparing myself.”

Kallum slightly raised an eyebrow. “You knew all along he had bad intentions?”

Calista shook her head. “I knew he had heart issues at this time, but what I hadn’t realized was that he hadn’t found a heart donor yet. In my memory, he had found a suitable one, so when he suddenly attacked you, I guessed he was probably targeting ine… He’s the kind of person who values his life above all else, so him acting this way, while surprising, was not entirely unexpected…”

She suddenly broke into a mischievous grin. “But in the end, he was found at Sky Beacon Hospital. Now, Sky Beacon Hospital is mine. Without a dirty source, his heart could collapse at any moment. I suppose this is my indirect way of getting revenge,” she said.

Kallum discovered that he had a peculiar fondness for Calista’s expression when she spoke of revenge. It was a kind of satisfaction that was vivid and endearing. Previously, if she were frosty, she would transform into a wicked, sharp, and slightly cunning figure once she began tormenting others.

Upon hearing Calista’s sharp words about Horatio, Kallum also felt a surge of satisfaction. He sat on the edge of the bed, hesitating for a moment before he spoke.

“Sorry. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have considered hurting you,”

Calista glanced at him. “It’s all right. Perhaps this is simply fate. In his past life, he had the same intention. toward me. After all, the allure of prolonging one’s life is irresistible to those on the brink of death.”

Kallum chuckled lightly, suddenly finding Calista to be a rather naive girl. While some people always liked to blame others for whatever happened, she, on the other hand, was always looking for reasons within herself.

After some thought, he climbed onto the bed and lay down next to her.

“Thank you. It’s wonderful to have you.”

Calista was taken aback, immediately followed by a frown.

She would rather bicker with Kallum because every time he acted docile, she felt somewhat helpless.

So, she got up, ready to get out of bed. “If you’re still tired, rest a bit more. I’ll go check on the lab.”

However, Kallum held her around the waist, a weary look in his eyes. “Can we talk about whatever it is tomorrow? I won’t touch you. Will you stay with me for a while?”

Calista was in a quandary for a moment, but then, directly, Kallum tucked her back into the blanket.

“Don’t worry,” he assured her. “I won’t harm you. I’ve just recovered from an illness, and I have no intention of getting sick again.”

Calista found the situation quite challenging.

Surrounded by the refreshing scent that was uniquely Kallum’s, she felt a sense of frustration. Despite her repeated insistence on being just a sister to him, it was as if Kallum had completely disregarded her words, continuing to act in his usual manner.
