Chapter 438 Reborn Once Again

Every individual who arrived held a high position in their own country. However, in Calista’s presence, they all bowed in a show of respect.

Under the dazzling lights, Calista stood in a position that attracted everyone’s attention, calmly receiving each person who came to visit her.

“Kind lady, you must be an envoy sent by the divine, here to alleviate suffering. On behalf of the entire Lostaria, I extend to you the highest respect.” A nobleman from Lostaria spoke, bending toward Calista.

Calista, on the other hand, handed him a medicine formula she had prepared in advance, smiling as she responded, “You’re welcome. This is nothing significant.”

Her expression was indifferent, with only a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. This demeanor perfectly embodied the image of a lofty person who was indifferent to fame and fortune in others‘ perceptions. The visitor took the formula, expressed his gratitude once more, and then left.

“I never imagined that the K virus would meet its end at the hands of a twenty–year–old girl. I thought this deadly virus would torment us into the next century. You truly are our savior! On behalf of Tospait, I thank you for your generosity.” A cheerful elderly black man approached, showering Calista with effusive praise.

Under the countless flashbulbs, Calista’s smile remained unchanged as she solemnly handed him the formula. “Everyone has the right to life. I simply did what I could. I’m honored to have achieved what I have today.

The elderly man smiled. “You’re being too modest. With a single act, you saved millions of lives. You’re the most distinguished contributor of this century. The world would be proud of you!”

Listening to his praise, Calista felt her mood subtly stirred. They shook hands and posed for a photo, which the camera captured.

Many came to express their gratitude to her. The K virus was a significant threat in every country where it existed. Calista’s ability to conquer the virus and her decision to openly share the formula without any conditions were seen as incredibly benevolent, almost angelic. Hence, the visitors spared no effort in showering her with compliments.

Calista also felt quite reflective. All this while, she never really took the time to contemplate what she truly wanted to do.

The reason she studied medicine was that she had been immersed in it since her childhood; she never had a choice.

In her previous life, her unique medical skills and innate talent had shaped her tragic existence. Some sought to exploit her medical knowledge for longevity, and others used her abilities to gain fame. Even though she saved lives, she was far from happy.

In this life, she no longer wished to be exploited. Therefore, she strived to attain a higher social standing. using her medical skills as her weapon. Saving people became a secondary task, yet she found great joy in

it

It was as if she was not only altering her own fate with her sheer determination but also transforming the destinies of others. The sensation of breaking free from her shackles was simply indescribably wonderful.

Finished

From the very beginning, she had made it clear to Kallum that once they had successfully tackled the K virus, she didn’t intend to profit from it. Instead, she wanted to donate it for the benefit of the entire

world.

Hence, during her research process, she strived to use the most cost–effective ingredients for her formula to avoid a situation where a cure was available but people couldn’t afford it.

Now, she had finally achieved success.

The President turned to Kallum, who was standing off to the side, and asked, “Aren’t you going to share in this honor with her?”

In his opinion, Kallum deeply loved Calista and would naturally want to share with her every peak and trough of life. They’ve already weathered the storm together, so why is Kallum hiding away during their moment of glory!

Kallum, arms folded, stood beside him. He watched the woman, unparalleled in her radiance under the glamorous lights. A vague smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he spoke in an inscrutable tone. “She deserved this honor a long time ago, but she had to wait far too long. Therefore, this moment belongs solely to her. I don’t want to intrude.”

“Are you just going to play the role of a low–profile knight in shining armor?” The President chuckled at Kallum teasingly.

With an unfazed expression, Kallum nonchalantly asked, “Am I not the best knight in shining armor?”

At that moment, after Calista had finished meeting with an individual, she glanced around. It was only when her gaze crossed over the crowd and landed on Kallum that it focused and stopped wandering before she continued to meet with the next person.

At that moment, Kallum felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, a profound, immense satisfaction.

Finally, when the President presented Calista with the Amalgamated Nations highest achievement award, the atmosphere in the assembly hall was electrifying. Everyone cheered with pride, all because Calista was a Chanacan.

When the President handed her the trophy, Calista felt surreal.

Looking at the faces filled with admiration before her, she thought. Are they really honoring me? Are these abundances of praise, encouragement, and affirmation all really meant for me? Was I not living in a quagmire and undergoing hardship? Somehow, I’ve arrived in paradise.

As she was lost in thought, a warm hand gently squeezed her hand. From beside her came the voice of Kallum, laced with amusement. “Stop daydreaming. Accept it already.”

Only then did Calista accept the trophy as if she had just awoken from a dream. Seeing Kallum standing by her side, she instantly regained her calm, as if she had finally come to terms with reality. Indeed, I’ve been reborn. Through my entanglements with this man, I’ve journeyed from hell and gradually ascended to heaven. Everything before my eyes belonged to me now. No one can rob or oppress her anymore because this man has single- handedly elevated me to the highest position.

Standing on the elevated stage, she held up her trophy to the cheers of the thousands below. At that moment, the applause seemed as if it could shatter the roof. At the same time, the resentment churning within her dissipated, leaving her with an uncertain thought. Calista felt as though she had been reborn once again.
