Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 367

He looked around. “Today, I'll indulge you all. Anyone who wants to check can do so. I've had enough of blood tests, so you might as well get it all done at once!”

How could the instruments from the Disease Control Center make mistakes?

Hence, the public thought the only explanation was that there was something wrong with Horatio's device.

With a smile, Calista said, “I suspect there's indeed something peculiar about the blood on the ground. Whether it belonged to Kallum, or if it was already in the bottle, is a question for Mr. Ingram. Your Ingram family started with a sneak attack, followed by coercion. What exactly are you trying to achieve? I'm completely baffled.”

Initially, Horatio was still in a state of shock, but at her words, he suddenly turned to look at her.

“It's you! You must be up to no good! What did you do? What did you just do?”

Calista laughed lightly. “You're giving me too much credit. I'm just a young woman, not even twenty. What could I possibly do? Or perhaps, you've grown so old that you can't handle failure, or worse, you've aged to the point of losing your sense of right and wrong, resulting in this farce?”

“You! You!”

“I'm advising you here, as you grow older, don't be too serious or stubborn. How can one possibly fight against fate? If fate decides it's your time to die, you can't resist it. If you're too demanding, aren't you afraid of inviting an unpleasant end?”

When Horatio heard her words, his face flushed a deep red. As he clutched his chest, it seemed as if he was on the verge of falling ill.

His eldest son quickly helped Horatio to his feet, a look of disagreement surfacing on his honest face.

“Ms. Stafford, how could you curse my father?”

“Curse? He just cursed my fiancé with a terminal illness! He allows himself to do wrong but forbids others from doing even the smallest things. I'd rather not associate with such a person! What do you think, dear?”

Kallum's lips were still somewhat pale, yet he seemed unusually spirited. He couldn't help but smile. “You're right. It's better off not to associate with such people.”

After he finished speaking, he firmly led Calista away by the hand. As they were leaving, Calista turned back and said, “Mr. Ingram, don't forget about Sky Beacon Hospital. It's mine now!”

At this point, Horatio was completely knocked out. The scene was in utter chaos, with Calista emerging as the clear victor.

After stepping out, Kallum began to falter, his entire body leaning heavily on Calista. Beads of sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

“How are you doing?”

“I'm okay.” Kallum supported her. “Let's talk more when we get home!”

Calista saw him off to the car, then hurriedly drove back. Shaun thought it was quite strange as when Kallum left, he was perfectly fine, but upon his return, he had fallen unconscious. All the while, Calista calmly said, “I've administered Experiment No. 3's injection to him.”

“What? That hasn't passed the inspection yet!”

Relieved, Calista said, “I'm going to rest now. As soon as Kallum wakes up, let me know immediately.”

“All right.” Shaun nodded, then suddenly asked with a hint of hesitation, “Though I shouldn't ask, but... Have you and Mr. Kallum not reconciled yet?”

Calista slightly raised an eyebrow. “We won't get back together. Being his sister feels more comfortable than being his woman.”

Shaun couldn't help but sigh. “Ms. Stafford, why go to such lengths? I thought you and Mr. Kallum were quite a good match. Why do you have to do this?”

Calista chuckled lightly, her long eyelashes casting shadows as they were lowered.

“Of course, I have my own plans,” she said, shaking her head again. “Besides, when Kallum used to orbit around me, it might have been simply because I was the only woman he could get close to. Now that he's better, there are so many women in the world for him to choose from. He might not even remember someone like me.”

“Ms. Stafford...”

“All right. I'm really tired. See you later.”

Calista waved her hand dismissively, then turned and walked away.

Since Calista needed to monitor Kallum's condition, she chose to stay in the laboratory and sleep on the bed she used to frequent.
