Her Rebirth of Retribution

After saying that in a low voice, she walked off with a complicated expression on her face.

Kallum touched his lips and couldn't figure out what she meant.

"Quintus?"

"Here!" Quintus shouted with his back still facing Kallum.

Kallum became a little excited, but he was still unsure.

"What do you think Calista means?" Was it what he was thinking?

Quintus was beginning to doubt Kallum's intelligence at this point.

"Ms. Calista has begun to give in, and she's ready to give Mr. Kallum a chance!"

"Really?!" Kallum's eyes lit up and looked at his subordinates with bright eyes.

"You sure that's what she means?"

With Kallum looking at them like that, they could only nod their heads in unison. They weren't going to pour cold water on him!

"HA!! I knew it!" Kallum clapped his hands together and revealed his pearly whites in a wide smile.

"I just knew it! Calista? Callie! Wait for me!"

After that everything went smoothly - with the items that Calista passed to them, the research process advanced very quickly. They were looking for other drugs to perfect the formula that could fight the influenza, and the three herbs that Calista gave them became the main focus of this group of medical experts.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"What a promising young lady!"

A professor in his fifties sighed while eating lunch, feeling like this new generation was going to outdo him.

"She is pretty impressive. Not just knowledgeable, but her foundation is very strong. And all the ideas she has are ahead of her time. She's only eighteen - such talents are very hard to come by!"

Another middle aged man with a moustache chipped in, "How nice if I get an understudy like that. I'm sure you know that sometimes I have no choice over who I get as my understudy, but I've never gotten a good one like that before!"

Fletcher Bennett was definitely the head of this group, and thought it a pity about Calista - she was Kallum's fiancée, so nobody dared to insist on taking her as an understudy.

The subject of their conversation was eating while writing and making some drawings.

She was nearly there - she felt like she was almost able to replicate that antiviral capsule that was created in her previous life, but what was it lacking?

""Eat first!"

Everyone watched as Kallum pushed the bowl of food towards her. But Calista continued mumbling to herself as if she didn't see anything.

In the canteen, everyone was waiting to watch a good show. Watching Calista and Kallum interact everyday was a sort of entertainment for them.

Who would have thought that the son of the Fairchilds, who was fierce in battle, intelligently strategizing and giving commands, and wielded even more power and influence back home, would be so...submissive in front of Calista!

Kallum didn't really care about the amused stares from the others, but when he saw that Calista ignored him, he clenched his teeth in annoyance at first, and then gave up. He ended up putting a spoonful of food at her mouth, and Calista naturally just ate each spoonful he put in front of her.

Kallum's angry face slowly became gentler and he continued to feed her, wiping her mouth now and then. If his father saw this, he would have thought his son was possessed!

Oh my goodness! This scene was going to make everyone go blind!

All the bodyguards and team members ate and stole glances at the couple at the same time.

This handsome man and beautiful lady looked good together wherever they went, and now that this rich young man had gone from an arrogant and strong man to a gentle and sweet one...it really made everybody so excited all of a sudden!

Resources were scarce, so the food quality was very poor. Kallum's face didn't even flinch as he ate, and he ate the same food and lived in the same place as the rest to set an example.

But now he was displeased. What was in this bowl? It was mushy and murky colored, so how could someone working her brains hard everyday like Callie eat something like this?

"You just eat this first, later I'll get the cook to come over and arrange for someone to go hunt in the forest, then prepare some roasted meat for you tonight, ok?"

Everyone nearly fainted from this show of favoritism!

The last time when someone's assistant complained that the food tasted bad, Kallum took her portion away and told her to settle her own food from now on! But then when the same food was given to Calista, now he felt bad for her? What about the rest of them? Calista threw a glance at him. If the heir to a huge conglomerate like Kallum could tolerate this food, she could too.

So she replied, "No need, I think it's quite tasty."

Kallum immediately looked back at her gently - Callie was such a considerate person!

His favoritism now knew no bounds.

"Mr. Kallum, bad news!"

"What happened?" Kallum's expression immediately became serious. Earlier the air in the canteen was filled with sweetness and romanticism, but any announcement of bad news often meant that someone had died. "There's a group making their way for us, well prepared, looks like around a thousand soldiers!"

Kallum stood up, "The supporting troops plus us is how many people?"

"Eight hundred."

"Call the army to send support over, then gather everyone. We have more than enough weapons, so if they dare to attack us, we'll kill them all!" ""Yes sir!"

The murderous aura emanating

from Kallum could set the air on fire!

He looked at Fletcher with great seriousness and instructed him, "The enemy. must have realized what we were doing and they want to destroy what we've done so far. Fighting Influenza T is the key to this war so Professor Bennett, your life is the most important. Later, bring everyone in the hospital towards the South Camp. Once we've managed to defend this spot, I'll tell you to come back. If we don't manage to defend this place, then you must keep yourselves safe!"

"That's not really a good idea right?" Fletcher was in a dilemma. "Surely there will be a large number of casualties later, so if we all leave, who will save the injured?"

Kallum assured him, "I've brought a group of army doctors, so they'll stay and you guys can go!"

Fletcher wanted to stay and help, but he too knew what was more important now. His team was a group of medical professionals who were here to find a cure for the influenza. If they died, then the enemy's plan would work.

So Fletcher nodded, took all the important documents and quickly escaped with the other professors. Kallum sent the men directly under him to make sure they reached the other side safely. There were only a few of them so they should be able to get there without attracting any attention.

After giving out a string of orders, Kallum lastly looked towards Calista.

Behind his determination was a fear of sorts.

Calista...he had become a burden to her. She was supposed to start school the next day, she was supposed to be in a classroom!

"You leave with Professor Bennett!"

Calista pursed her lips together, and then nodded, "You take care."

She didn't speak anymore and left, making Kallum both relieved but disappointed at the same time...

He still had things to say, because he wasn't sure if he would be able to survive this eminent attack. He was afraid that once he turned his back, it would be for forever.

But Calista had long gone, and he could only grip his gun tightly.

He had to survive this attack so that he could be together with her. That day she seemed to have agreed to give him a chance, and he didn't press her for an answer because he felt that they still had time.

If he survived this round, he was going to get a clear answer from her!

A lot of onlookers felt their hearts

grow cold. They had seen how Kallum had treated Calista during this short period of time, and they thought that Calista would definitely say that she wouldn't leave and would go through this ordeal with Kallum. Who would have thought that she just turned and left without protesting!
