Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 213

“No.” The doctor was truly in despair.

His frantic struggles were in vain. After all, how could an ordinary doctor possibly be a match for Sterling?

After Sterling released the doctor, the latter quickly retreated, clutching his neck. His face was ashen while he was in a state of shock.

Indeed, an antibody injection was a possible solution, but he simply didn't have the money for it. Furthermore, even with the injection, there was only a one percent chance of survival. For most people, a one percent chance was synonymous with impossibility.

He finally let out a loud scream. His body, covered in blood and struggling on the ground, was akin to a wild beast gone mad. “Why? Why on earth did you do it?”

Inside the confined space, Sterling laughed heartily upon hearing those words, revealing his blood-stained teeth. “Well, now you're sick too. Come, join me in living a normal life.”

The doctor's eyes instantly turned red.

“I'll kill you!” He lunged at Sterling with all the strength he could muster as if he was courting death himself. He was hell-bent on tearing his opponent to shreds.

“Why did you have to do this to me? Why did you harm me?” However, after only hitting Sterling twice, he collapsed from a high fever.

His body curled up, reacting just like the woman from the previous night.

Sterling felt a strange surge of pleasure as if he were a king in the world of viruses, holding the power of life and death.

Thus, surprisingly, he ended up shooting the doctor with a calm demeanor. Ignoring the bewildered stares of those around him, he descended the stairs and shot the woman who was still feverish.

Most of Sterling's trusted aides in Corleon had perished, leaving only a handful of people in the room. Those individuals were still in the dark about what had transpired. Keith was perplexed by the events of the previous night, unsure why the woman he personally escorted for examination contracted the K Virus so suddenly.

While Keith was still pondering if that was someone else's sinister scheme, Sterling had already summoned them all.

Sterling pointed at the doctor on the ground and said, “Someone's trying to kill me. This woman wasn't the issue. The problem was this doctor. Luckily, I discovered the truth in time and killed them both. They were both infected with the K Virus.”

The words of Sterling filled the eight people standing in the living room with a desire to flee, their faces etched with fear. It was only the unintentional display of murderous intent from Sterling that kept them from making any rash moves.

When they returned, both Wanda and Silas were present. After all, Kallum's venture outside was no small matter. Although it was unclear how Kallum managed to pass through checkpoints, such actions were extremely risky. If anyone were to discover that Kallum was a carrier of the K Virus, he would immediately face the prospect of being apprehended and quarantined. That was no laughing matter. The situation was indeed that grave.

Therefore, when Callista was talking to Wanda, Silas had no choice but to pull Kallum aside to discuss the pros and cons of the situation.

“She had lost weight...” Wanda didn't know what Callista had been up to in Corleon, but she knew that the latter had gone there with the intention of helping Kallum. At the time, she was incredibly moved by that.

“Callie, you're a good child. It's me who has let you down...” Wanda spoke, on the verge of tears again.

Over the past year, it seemed as if she was trying to shed all the tears she had never cried before, and she had aged significantly.

Whenever faced with Wanda, Callista was always soft-hearted.

“Aunt Wanda, I'm fine, so you don't need to worry about me. Besides, we made significant progress and gained a lot during this trip. Who knows, maybe in a year's time, Kallum will be fully recovered.”

Wanda was somewhat comforted by Callista's words. Even though she was well aware that a year's recovery was impossible, she couldn't bear to discourage Callista. After all, Callista was trying her best. She felt that if she couldn't lend a hand, she shouldn't at least hold Calista back.
