Chapter 481 Ask For Help

Hearing what Calista said, Isaac immediately scolded Quincy, âWhat are you doing? Get up. I brought you here to ask for help, not to start a crying fit.â
Quincy was furious but dared not to express it. She quickly got up, standing behind Isaac like a submissive wife, her demeanor filled with a sense of grievance.
Kallum recognized Isaac and whispered in Calistaâs car, âThis guy made his fortune in the lottery business. He has some money, but most of his assets are abroad.â After all, Chanaea had strict controls in this area, unlike other countries.
Calista nodded because she knew who Isaac was.
Before she could speak, Isaac addressed her, âYou must be Ms. Calista. Indeed, you are as young and beautiful as they say. People outside call you a genius beauty, but I think âbeautyâ doesnât do you justice. You are a true angel.â
Calista remained unmoved, showing no hint of pleasure from the flattery. She asked coolly, âYou brought Quincy here to seek medical help from me?â
What Calista didnât realize was that Benedict had grown a bit smarter. Without Quincy kneeling in front, they might not have even been let into the Stafford residence.
âYes,â Isaac replied with a wry smile. âI had no other choice but to resort to desperate measures.â
Calista glanced at his son and shook her head.
âIâm sorry, but I canât help your son.â
Isaacâs face changed slightly. She hasnât even looked closely and already said she couldnât help? This is clearly a refusal.
But Isaac was an old hand at this and quickly put on a pleading face again. âMy sonâs condition is indeed complicated. Iâve sought countless doctors and spent a lot of money, but nothing has worked. Desperate, I had to turn to you. Please, have pity on us as parents. Just take a look at him. You donât have to cure him, just do your best. Please.â
Calista frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. She spoke directly, âYour son has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, one of the worldâs five major incurable diseases. Since itâs incurable, why come to me for help? How can I cure him?â
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as the âclearâminded vegetative state,â was a condition even many countries couldnât handle. What made him think she could?
Upon hearing her words, Isaac couldnât help but become emotional.
âMs. Calista, youâre too modest. After the K Virus emerged, even the top five incurable diseases ranked below it, yet you conquered it. Others might fail, but I believe you can do it. Why not give it a try? If you succeed, your brilliance will be/unmatched.â
Calista gave a strange smile. Indeed, she could. To others, this disease was incurable, but for her, it was relatively easy to treat. With frequent acupuncture to maintain nerve activity and medication, it could be cured.

Bat highâfrequency acupuncture would take a significant toll on her, and Devon wasnât worth such a Sacrifice.
In her previous life, Quincy had boasted about Calistaâs achievements and deceived many, including Isaac.
incy had secretly asked Calista to treat Devon. Initially, she refused, but many people vouched for evonâs character, calling him a great philanthropist. Even her father was persuaded, urging her
peatedly until she agreed to treat him.
That treatment nearly cost her half her life. But after seeing her effectiveness, Quincy started seeing her in a different light.
Quincy had initially thought Calista could only alleviate symptoms, but when she fully cured him, Quincy realized Calistaâs value was far greater than imagined.
Quincy then leveraged the lifeâsaving favor to gain substantial benefits from the Wolford family. Calista had grown accustomed to this, but what she couldnât accept was that Devon was a notorious scoundrel. He had harmed many girls abroad, and when he fell ill, countless people rejoiced. However, she, in her narvery, had saved someone unworthy.
Reflecting on the evil deeds Devon committed after his recovery filled Calista with regret. But now, given a second chance, she wouldnât save such a scumbag again.
She stepped aside. Pointing toward the door, she firmly said, âYouâre flattering me. Conquering the K Virus was sheer luck. For other incurable diseases, Iâm powerless. Youâve wasted your trip today.â
Unwilling to give up, Isaac protested, âHow can that be? Quincy told me your familyâs ancestral acupuncture technique is highly effective in stimulating nerves. Why not give it a try?â
Seeing how thoroughly he had done her homework, Calista realized Quincy must have gone to great lengths to impress Isaac.
Calista sneered, finally speaking the truth. âWhy should I try? ALS typically affects older people, but your young son has it, likely due to prolonged excitement and excessive stimulant use. Given his past actions⦠I think he deserves it.â
