Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 279

Aaron's harsh words only fueled the public's anger! The families of the infected patients were even less likely to let Kallum off the hook!

“What more do you intend to do at this point? Hasn't your family caused us enough harm already? Do you wish to ruin even more lives?” one member of the crowd shouted.

Confronted with the crowd's accusations and fury, just before emotions erupted once again, Calista suddenly stepped forward. Determinedly, she shielded Kallum behind her.

“Isn't it a bit hasty to condemn the Fairchild family based solely on Wayne's account?” Her cool voice momentarily silenced the crowd.

However, Wayne quickly recovered and sharply retorted!

“How dare you still try to cover for him! Kallum is definitely infected with the K Virus! Unless you've found a cure for the K Virus, no matter what you say, he can't escape the fate of being quarantined!”

Calista chuckled coldly. “Kallum gathered all those experts merely because I showed interest in the K Virus, and he wanted to help me out. However, you claimed those people were gathered because he was infected. Where's your proof?”

Wayne's face turned an unsightly shade. It was already a miracle that he had managed to escape, so he had no evidence to prove that Kallum was sick. He didn't even have any contracts!

Seeing that Wayne remained silent, Calista calmly turned the tables. “In other words, you know nothing, yet you're here recklessly slandering people?”

The atmosphere gradually calmed down. At that moment, Aaron grumbled discontentedly, “Just like this person can't prove what he's saying, what proof do you have for your words?”

“Exactly!” Harvey exclaimed, panting heavily. “The easiest way to find out if there's an issue is by taking him to the hospital! All I hear is you talking, but what evidence do you have to prove that Kallum is okay?”

Calista slightly raised an eyebrow. “Of course I have.”

At that moment, everyone, including Kallum, had their eyes on Calista.

They wondered what evidence was there to prove in front of everyone that Kallum was not infected.

A thought vaguely formed in Kallum's mind, which was then followed by a look of fear as he gazed at Calista. That was probably the first time in his life that he had felt such terror. Could she be planning to... “Calli—”

“Trust me.” Before Kallum could utter a word, Calista interrupted him. At that moment, a flurry of thoughts rushed through Kallum's mind, but ultimately, he was captivated by the unwavering gaze of Calista.

Her eyes shone like the stars, yet the dark part was even blacker than the abyss.

She reached out and grasped Kallum's hand, which was still dripping with blood.

At that moment, everyone instinctively held their breath, their focus intensifying. The look in Wayne's and the others' eyes gradually turned into sheer disbelief!

Under the intense gaze of the crowd, Calista exhaled. She looked at Kallum, surprised that she had finally taken that step.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head without any hesitation, taking Kallum's still-bleeding finger into her mouth!

She actually dared to touch Kallum's blood!

Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that even without a cut in the mouth, the blood infected with the K Virus could seep through the oral cavity, leading to infection!

Hence, if Calista were to take Kallum's finger into her mouth, the likelihood of her contracting a disease would be a staggering hundred percent!

“No!” Kallum jerked his hand back as if he'd been electrocuted. His movement was so abrupt that a smear of blood stained Calista's lower lip. In the magnification of the camera, it was a startling sight.

Suddenly, Calista let out a wicked laugh. Regardless of Kallum's mood, she turned to gaze at the hundreds, if not thousands, of people below. With a smile, she revealed her blood-stained teeth.

In a tantalizing manner, she slowly swept the trace of blood she detected on her lips into her mouth with the tip of her tongue!

She really did consume Kallum's blood!

Kallum took a step back. From the moment Calista took his fingers into her mouth, there was no turning back from that situation!
