Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 93

Kallum’s beautiful watery almond eyes instantly became wide and round.

“Calista!!!”

He gripped Calista’s arm with immense strength.

This was not the place to chit chat, so Calista immediately wiped the smile off her face and clambered up, moving to one side under the cover of the gunfire.

Another rebel soldier blew himself up, and it was finally quiet on the enemy’s side. Ryder led his team to fire a round to make sure there were no more soldiers hiding, but it was obvious that Kallum’s side had won. After making sure they were no longer in danger, Kallum glared fiercely at the petite woman standing in front of him.

“What are you doing here?! How did you get here? Was it Jarrett?!”

If it was Jarrett, Kallum was going to kill him when he got back! Did Jarrett know what sort of place this was? That idiot! Everyone was trying to flee Lostaria, but he actually sent Calista in!

Calista pursed her dry and cracked lips, “This is not a good place to talk. I want to go to the lab in front. I have important information to provide the doctors!”

“Nonsense, what important information could you have? Pack your things and I’ll send you home now!”

Calista felt that Kallum was looking down on her.

“I spent the last few days walking over from the source of the influenza, and there’s no doctor who understands the Influenza T better than me! My medical expertise and knowledge is definitely higher than the doctors that were sent here, so why can’t I go there?”

Kallum didn’t really listen carefully to the latter part – her first sentence already made his head burst.

“Did you say you came over from the source of the influenza? You walked here from the border of Lostaria?!”

Calista nodded, “Sometimes I hitched a ride, took me about eight or nine days.”

Oh my god!

Kallum felt like he was about to faint, “Are you alright? There are some people who don’t get any symptoms for a long time, do you feel discomfort anywhere?!”

He used both hands to hold onto Calista’s shoulders, his eyes about to stare through her.

Calista shook her head, “I’m fine. We don’t have much time left, quickly bring me to the lab! I have several herbs on hand that are key to the cure for Influenza T!”

Kallum’s face grew very grim. Calista was very talented, highly skilled in acupuncture and gifted in researching medical drugs. But this was Influenza T! It was a strain from the incurable K Virus, and many of the medical experts who had arrived the day before felt helpless towards this situation. They believed that they could possibly take more than one and a half years to find a cure, so the best thing to do now was to stop the spread as much as they could. Now Calista had just arrived and she had a way to find a cure – how was he supposed to believe her?

This place was so dangerous, and he couldn’t stand Calista spending even one more second here.

“Be good! I don’t know why you came…” Kallum paused, his eyes lingering for a moment.

“Seeing you here…makes me very happy.”

Calista continued to look coldly at him, but when he said this, she felt as if the gunshots around her slowly faded into silence.

“BUT!” Kallum’s eyes returned to the intense gaze he had earlier, “This is not a fun place to be in, and there are people dying every day! I don’t want you to get hurt, so go back in the afternoon! I’ll arrange for a plane now!”

This man was really…! If she had known he would be like this, she wouldn’t have come here.

“I can really solve this problem, you just need to give me a lab…”

“No! I’ll get someone to check you over later, if nothing’s wrong then you will fly home immediately!”

At the hospital, Kallum arranged a thorough checkup for Calista, only attending to his own wounds after making sure she wasn’t infected.

Calista saw that his wounds weren’t serious so she wasn’t too bothered. She only asked, “Where’s the Level Four lab? I want to go over right now.”

Kallum glared at her unhappily.

“I’ll get Quintus to bring you there. If they ask, just say you’ve been sent here specially.”

Calista nodded and quickly made her way over. There was no time to waste when it came to something like influenza. If they could solve this problem earlier, the current internal conflict that had lasted one to two years might even end earlier, saving more lives in the process.

There were seven people in the lab now, working calmly and orderly. They were all wearing hazmat suits and you couldn’t tell one person from another.

Calista had put a hazmat suit on as well, and once she entered the lab, Quintus gathered everyone and introduced Calista and explained why she was here.

Kallum was now in control of Lostaria’s resources, including the hospital. Calista didn’t bother with any formalities and immediately took out the items she had.

“I came over from the source of the water that the rebel soldiers contaminated, and along the way I discovered that a mixture of these three herbs are able to fight the symptoms of the virus temporarily. The symptoms come back after a while, but if we could add in some other drugs, it might be able to cure this influenza.”

Everybody took her words with a pinch of salt, and looked strangely at Calista.

Everyone present knew how risky this place was and had already signed an indemnity form and wrote their wills before coming over. They had only arrived for a few days, and now someone was claiming that she had a breakthrough in treating this flu – obviously they were shocked by Calista’s words.

They stole a glance at Quintus beside her, and realized this was someone close to Kallum. So even though they had their doubts, they took the herbs from Calista to analyze its components. They hadn’t made any advancement at the moment anyway, so they weren’t going to dismiss any possibility.

Calista was relieved when she saw that nobody had any disagreements. The situation was very tense and everyone had a common enemy, so their hearts were less wary. Given better circumstances, it wouldn’t have been so easy to make these highly regarded experts listen to her so obediently.
