Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 377 She Is That Person
During the capture, Horatio was indifferent to whether Calista would get hurt. As long as she was still breathing, that was enough. After all, trying to bring someone in unscathed was fraught with risks. It was better to let go and give it his all. The chances of capturing her were higher that way.
Moreover. Calista had been severely injured, which served to intimidate othersâ¦.
What he never expected was that the woman he completely disregarded was the very one he had been searching for.
After conducting his investigation, Kallum had confirmed who was responsible. Even though he was itching to confront Horatio, he chose to suppress his murderous intent in light of Calistaâs safety. He then dialed Horatioâs number.
Prior to this, Horatioâs condition wasnât much better either.
He waited anxiously, hooked up to an IV, for the Fairchild familyâs response. Calista hadnât been caught yet, which only served to fuel his impatience.
At that moment, he received a call from his dispatched men. They informed him that due to Calista, they were now surrounded by the Fairchild family.
Horatio narrowed his eyes. Kallumâs actions further confirmed his care for that woman. Therefore, he slowly stated. âAs long as you capture that woman, Kallum wonât dare to harm you. Now, you have no way
OuL
Those people thought about it. Even if they surrendered now, would the Fairchild family let them off the hook? It seemed better to capture Calista, complete the deal, and escape overseas with the money.
With this in mind, they became even more determined in their search for her.
Calista had initially planned to hide up in the tree, but she never anticipated that the other party would. have a heat sensor in their possession.
She was nearly captured. Luckily, the thick fog had been her saving grace, allowing her to narrowly escape death. However, her left arm had grazed a bullet.

At that moment, she was leaning against a large tree, tending to her wounds while fiddling with the mobile phone she had found.
Thankfully, the phone still had a battery. Unfortunately, it was discarded not only because it was incredibly outdated but also because it could no longer make calls.
Calista made several calls, but all she could hear was the static buzz on the other end. Feeling
disheartened, she faced the increasingly dark forest and the relentless pursuer intent on killing her. In her desperation, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
If they thought about messing with her, she would definitely teach them a lesson in return.
Horatio was somewhat taken aback when he saw that Kallum was actually calling him. After a moment of thought, he leisurely answered the call.
âMr. Kallum, have you made up your mind?â

Chapter 377 She Is That Person
When Kallum heard his words, it seemed as if his cold aura could seep through the phone.
âHoratio, how dare you!â
âItâs all because you refused to cooperate, Mr. Kallum. Otherwise, I wouldnât have done this!â Horatioâs tone was heavy, clearly harboring a substantial amount of resentment.
When Kallum was ill before, asking him for that person was akin to a death sentence. So, whether it was for his own safety or due to public opinion, Kallum would absolutely refuse to hand over the person.
P
After much deliberation, Horatio decided to launch a surprise attack during the banquet. He used Kallumâs illness as leverage, forcing Kallum into a trade with him.
However, Kallum refused.
If Kallum had refused the deal out of fear of death, fear that he would take someone away and never return them, then though there would be resentment, it wouldnât be as intense as it was.
However, the blood test results later revealed that Kallum was already cured. Regardless of how he managed to recover, it meant he no longer needed that person to sustain his life. Yet, even without needing that individual, Kallum still refused to negotiate with him, essentially pushing him toward a dead
end.
In addition to the Fairchild family abruptly pulling all their orders overnight and completely falling out with the Ingram family, this left Horatio so furious that he couldnât stand it any longer. That was when he came up with the idea to use Calista as a threat against Kallum.
Horatio sneered, âSince you have no regard for past affections, Mr. Kallum, as your senior, I naturally have. to take a different approach. If you hand over the person now, I wonât touch Calista. Otherwise, my people will definitely catch her before you do! At that time, whether sheâs severely injured or dead, I canât guaranteeâ¦
Upon hearing his threat, Kallum was so angry that he laughed instead. âSo, youâre using Callie to force me to reveal the person who saved my life?â
âWhatâs the matter? Is she not worthy of your saving? It seems like your feelings for this girl are not as deep as I thought.â
Kallum laughed at his pitiful state. âWhy donât you consider the possibility that Calista is that person?â
âThatâs impossible!â Horatio instinctively retorted, âDonât try to deceive me. I know thereâs a mysterious old man in your family whoâs highly skilled in medicine. Even if youâre trying to trick me, donât treat me like a fool. How old is Calista? How could she be the one keeping you alive? Iâm not that senile!â
Kallumâs tone turned somber. âIn my eyes, youâre not only confused, but youâve also gone mad. You might have guessed why I was fine during the banquet that day. It was because I injected the antiserum in time⦠But, the antiserum was developed by Callie! If she could conquer the K Virus in just two years, why couldnât she extend life?â
Horatioâs hand, clutching the phone, gave a slight tremble.
âAre you lying to me?â
âYou better pray that your people havenât harmed her, because aside from her, thereâs nobody else in this world who possesses such exceptional medical skills! If anything happens to her, Iâll make sure you pay

tenfold!â
Kallum ended the call. He knew Horatio was desperate to live, and he would surely call back his men. Howeverâ¦.
Kallum stared at the vast mountain before him, but where on earth was Calista? The night was fast approaching, and once it fell, he couldnât see her. What if she encountered danger? Indeed, he should have equipped her with a radar.
