Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 222

The feeling was eerily similar to her past life, when she was beaten to the point of helplessness, forced to watch Sterling inject her with the virus without any means to resist!

Sterling's face contorted, resembling a wild beast as he bit down! But the anticipated pain never came. Calista opened her eyes, only to discover that the hand Sterling had bitten into was actually Kallum's!

Kallum could have rescued her immediately. However, at the moment of the explosion, his legs suddenly gave way, almost causing him to stumble. That was why Calista ended up in such a perilous situation!

Upon seeing Sterling crazily trying to bite Calista, without a second thought, Kallum blocked him with his left hand. With his right hand, he threw a fierce punch, causing Sterling's head to jerk to the side, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Sterling finally loosened his grip on Calista's hand. Kallum kicked him over with one swift move, then scooped Calista into his arms!

After holding her for a moment, he meticulously examined Calista from head to toe. His injured, bleeding left hand instinctively kept its distance from her as he continuously asked questions.

“Were you hurt? Are you okay? Did you get injured?”

Calista, however, was staring blankly at his injured hand.

Upon seeing that she seemed unharmed, Kallum casually waved his hand, chuckling with a hint of self-deprecation. “I'm fine, I-I've already been through the worst. Now, it's his turn.”

After being kicked away, Sterling was immediately restrained by Kallum's men.

Upon spotting a trace of Kallum's blood on Sterling's lips, Ryder quickly covered Sterling's mouth, hoping to prevent him from suspecting anything when he would inevitably develop a fever later.

Though panic briefly gripped the crowd at the shattered ceiling, Kallum's team efficiently restored order, calming the frayed nerves of the guests.

“Everyone, please stay calm! The bomb hidden beneath the load-bearing pillar has been disarmed, your safety is no longer at risk.”

Ryder's reassuring words brought a semblance of calm to the shaken guests, yet beneath the surface, they harbored silent regret. Had they known the extent of Sterling's madness, they wouldn't have risked attending. His willingness to drag others down in his downfall was truly unsettling, marking him as a dangerous individual unlike any they had encountered before.

The butler, hiding in the shadows, caught sight of Kallum's injured hand. Suddenly, he realized this was a golden opportunity to prove his worth!

As soon as he learned of Sterling's infection with the K Virus, a wave of despair washed over him. The Wolford residence, once bustling with activity, now lay deserted as everyone fled in fear. Despite their silence out of fear for Sterling's authority, he knew that rumors would inevitably begin circulating by tomorrow.

The butler had initially wanted to flee, but Sterling had used his daughter as leverage, leaving him no choice but to stay. Now, with Sterling captured and no chance of turning the tables, if he still wanted to maintain his position in the Wolford family, or seek favor from Harvey, this would be a golden opportunity!

And so, he rushed out, shouting loudly.

“Stay away from Sterling, he's infected with the K Virus!”

With a single statement from the butler, the previously calm hall descended into greater chaos than before!

“What? How could he have contracted the K Virus? There's no way the K Virus is in our country!”

Everyone calmed down, their faces reflecting a variety of emotions. They all understood that if one was bitten and bled, the probability of contracting a disease was as high as ninety-nine percent...

Bound and gagged, Sterling's face was flushed a deep red. Upon recognizing Kallum as the one he had bitten last, he couldn't contain his excitement, despite the obstruction in his mouth. He let out a muffled roar of exhilaration and struggled ceaselessly under the grip of his captor.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the butler's eyes turned red with excitement. Now, he could go Harvey to claim his merit!

He feigned fear as he said, “What do we do? Mr. Kallum must have caught it! Mr. Wolford has already infected two people since he came back, I didn't expect even Mr. Kallum to...”

At this point, no one was concerned about the butler's failure to report anymore. Everyone instinctively took two steps back, their faces filled with fear. It was as if, any second now, Kallum would transform into a devil and pounce on them.

This must have been the first time Kallum had to confront public ostracism. Back when he was at home, although the experts were afraid, they never dared to show it.

However, at that moment, the blatant discrimination and fear emanating from those around him made him feel instantly isolated. No one would approach him, not a soul.

But in the next moment, his injured hand was clasped by someone else.

Calista took a step forward, speaking almost in direct contact with his body.

“Pretend you have a fever, quick!”
