Chapter 181 Drugged
The next day, when Calista woke up, she touched her lips and shot a somewhat displeased glare at Kallum. If it wasn’t for the fact that they couldn’t have sex, she reckoned Kallum would have devoured her already!
Kallum was already awake when Calista sat up. He held her in his arms, his eyebrows arching as he smiled
with sausfaction.
“Darling, you were really wild last night.”
Ugh, can he not act like we have done everything?
Calista pushed him away as she recalled the important matter she had intended to discuss the day before.
“By the way, just letting you know, I have to make a trip to Corleon.”
The smile on Kallum’s face froze. Then, he raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “You can’t leave, remember? Did you forget you have to give me an acupuncture treatment every three days?”
Calista glanced at him, replying, “I haven’t forgotten. I’m making this decision because I’ve figured out a way to extend your life. It’s just that you might suffer a bit more.”
Stunned, Kallum realized that Calista had come prepared.
“So, you’ve planned this for a while?”
His expression turned incredibly serious. He hadn’t expected Calista to have this idea for so long.
Calista nodded.
“Without test subjects, research can’t proceed. Your life was saved by me. No matter how strong your body is, it won’t withstand our drug trials. Thus, going to the virus hotspot was an idea I’ve had for a long time, and now it has become absolutely necessary,” she said.
“Since you said you’ve found a way to prolong my life, why are you in such a rush to take risks? I don’t mind if the research takes a bit longer back home, as long as you’re safe!” Kallum said.
As he spoke, he remembered the words he heard yesterday. He added, “You don’t have to worry about whether I can make it to that day. As long as I have you, it doesn’t matter if it’s five years, ten years, or even twenty years. I won’t be taken down by K Virus! I will survive!”
Upon hearing these words, Calista was reminded of her own near–death experience… At that time, despite the researchers best efforts, they couldn’t halt the deterioration of her body. K Virus became increasingly horrifying in its later stages, and she could hardly imagine Kallum reduced to a bony state. It was a far cry from the image she held of him in her memory.
“You don’t need to say anything more. I have already decided to leave for Corleon immediately. You are a patient, so please cooperate.”
How am I supposed to cooperate? Join her in taking risks?
Kallum’s demeanor instantly became domineering. If it were anything else, he would unconditionally agree, but not this one. This was unacceptable!

firm and resounding.
Calista didn’t want to confront him directly. Instead, she asked calmly. “Don’t you want to get better soon?”
He wanted to, but certainly not under such circumstances.
Suddenly, Calista reached out and placed her hand on his waist, closing the distance between them.
When their eyes met. Kallum felt like a bomb with its fuse held tightly by someone else. His body was tense, yet he could never explode.
With a smile, Calista whispered into his ear, “Don’t you want to get better soon, so we can be together?”
-You!”
Kallum was suddenly speechless, his chest rising and falling with emotion. He didn’t know what to feel or how to look at her.
Calista said seriously. “If you want to, then heed my words. I–promised to heal you, and I won’t go back
my word.”
Most importantly. Calista knew very well that in her past life, Kallum had managed to pull through after receiving an antibody injection. Since he had fallen ill trying to save her this time, she was determined to nurse him back to health.
Regardless of any future deals or collaborations, she simply didn’t want Kallum to end up like she did in her previous life. That would have been too unbearable, wouldn’t it?
Kallum still refused, saying, “I will have Bowen lead the team. His qualifications are sufficient.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Calista, however, didn’t want to continue discussing this topic.
“Kallum.”
When he looked over, Calista suddenly stole a kiss and laughed. “Actually, I remember what happened. yesterday. After all, the red emerald thumb ring on your hand is quite noticeable. I also remember saying I wanted to marry you. They say a drunk mind speaks a sober heart. Do you think I’m willing to part from you?”
Her words were filled with so much information that Kallum was stunned. The next moment, he felt a numb sensation at the back of his neck. A needle was inserted there, its tip still trembling slightly.
A needle placed here could temporarily paralyze a person, even just a few seconds would suffice.
The last image Kallum saw was Calista smiling and saying four words.
“Remember to miss me.”
Then, with deep reluctance, he succumbed to the darkness.
Calista discarded the handkerchief she was holding. She had used a bit of sedative to knock out Kallum. Otherwise, it would be hard to get things done with him conscious.
After sounding the alarm, it didn’t take long before seven or eight people arrived. They were all competent and efficient people.
Chapter 181 Drugged
“What happened to Mr. Kallum?”
Gunner was the first to notice that something was off. It seemed that Kallum wasn’t asleep, but rather, he had fallen unconscious.
Looking worried, Calista said, “It seems that K Virus has mutated again. To tackle it as soon as possible, I’ll take a team to Corleon today. Ryder, can you get in touch with Corleon for us? We’re going to need the local government’s assistance.”
Although Ryder found it strange, he knew that Kallum had stated that Calista’s words were to be treated like his and not to be disobeyed. He immediately went to make the arrangements.
“Did Mr. Kallum agree to this?” Quintus couldn’t help but ask. Given Kallum’s personality, there was no way he would have agreed to let Calista take such a risk.
