Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 88 I Am Going To Save Some Lives

Calista pursed her lips together and couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to you?"

Kallum snorted, "What sort of question is that? What could happen to me?"

Calista realized it was really a dumb question to ask. The Fairchilds weren't just any aristocratic family - Kallum's father, Silas, was the richest man in the country, while his younger brother, Walter Fairchild, was a top government official. So the Fairchilds had money, people and power, and it was nearly impossible for anything bad to happen to Kallum. And if it wasn't for this incredible position of power and privilege, Kallum wouldn't have turned out this arrogant either.

Calista felt a little relived, so her attitude became distant again. "If there's nothing else then I'm hanging up."

"Wait!" Kallum was a little anxious and tried to hold it in, but he still asked anyway.

"You didn't miss me even a little bit? Just a little bit?"

Previously he was constantly hanging around her and making sure his presence was felt. Now that he had been away and uncontactable for so long, it was impossible that Calista didn't miss him! "Oh come on, you miss me, right?!"

Calista's lips curled up suddenly and she pushed them back down. She replied coldly, "Bye."

"Nooo!"

Kallum managed to stop her from hanging up in time and bit his lower lip unhappily. "Fine if you don't miss me...I just wanted to tell you to be careful because the Wolfords seem to be making some moves, but I'm not in the country so you have to protect yourself. If you really can't, then go to Fairchild Manor, ok?""

It felt pretty good to have someone show her concern.

Calista ended up smiling at this, but it wasn't detectable in her voice. "What a nag." After a thought, she decided to go along with him and said, "I got it."

Upon hearing this, Kallum immediately latched on, "Or why don't you go to Fairchild Manor right now? The Wolfords might be scheming something specifically against you!"

Calista was about to reply when she could hear a loud blast in the distance through the phone and her expression became serious. "Where are you now?"

There was some interference from Kallum's side, and after a long while she finally heard Kallum quickly say, "There's a bit of a problem, but no worries. I have to go now, call you another time!"

Calista frowned and wanted to ask more, then she heard Kallum's voice breaking up as the static sound grew louder. "...Calista, this is the first time...I've missed...someone...wait for me to come back." ""Wait! Kallum?"

Calista got out of bed and looked at her phone - the call had already been cut off. She tried to call the same number back but it couldn't get through, so it was likely that Kallum could call her but she couldn't call him...

On the other side, Kallum was evacuating a group towards the factory.

"Mr. Kallum! Why don't we reject this mission? Now that there's suddenly a conflict in Lostaria, it's too dangerous to stay here!"

Kallum wiped off the blood from his face and retorted, "That's exactly why we can't go! My uncle said our country will support Lostaria, so we must win this conflict! There's a temporary travel ban to Lostaria and only I am able to fly in and out. There's a shortage of weapons on the front line now, so if we don't help them out, the Lostarian army can't hold off these rebels for long."

"But..." Julian was a small sized skinny man, and mixed emotions were written all over his face. "But Mr. Fairchild has also said that your safety comes first..."

Kallum refused to listen to him. If he pulled out now, then there would be no hope for Lostaria. No aid would be as fast as him, because he was already within the arsenal.

Seeing that Kallum wasn't convinced, Quintus had to pull out his trump card.

"Mr. Kallum, if something happens to you, I don't know how the Wolfords might torture Ms. Stafford..."

Kallum froze for a moment, but a flash of determination and confidence flashed across his handsome face.

"I have faith in her. Nothing will happen to me, and nothing will happen to her!"

She wasn't that shy little young lady anymore, and he had been hurt by her thorns so many times.

Suddenly Kallum smiled as he thought of something, and continued to look as radiant as ever even along the streets battered by war fire.

Calista was feeling very anxious. In fact she felt as if she forgot something...

In her anxiety, she called Wanda.

Wanda had also just cried after hearing that there was unrest in Lostaria. Her son had gone over only to deliver weapons, since the

Fairchilds were legal arm dealer et

and worked closely with the

government, but who knew violence would suddenly erupt over there? Her son's life was in danger, and she didn't know whether anything bad would happen to him...

So when she picked up Calista's call, her voice cracked from crying.

"Mrs. Fairchild, where has Kallum gone to?"

She asked directly, forgetting to even ask after Wanda first.

But of course Wanda wasn't bothered in a time like this. She immediately started crying again, "Callie, what should I do now? Kallum has gone to Lostaria, and violent conflict has suddenly broken out there! The whole country is a mess now! Will something bad happen to him?"

As expected, Kallum had really gone to Lostaria!

At this time in her previous life, Kallum had disappeared for a few months. She was very anxious but she knew Kallum had gone on a business trip of sorts and she didn't dare to ask too much. She didn't expect it to really be Lostaria...

Calista still had some clarity in her heart.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to him, I guarantee you."

She was very confident because in her previous life, Kallum had gone there and had to stay in bed for a few months after coming back, but he was alive and well.

He didn't allow her to visit him back then, so Calista didn't know where he was injured, but he was definitely not dead.

Calista frowned deeply.

Could she really be so sure? Many doubts suddenly surfaced in her heart. Would everything really happen exactly the same way it did in her previous life?

After hearing Calista's words, Wanda immediately perked up.

"You're right! There are so many people around Kallum, so even if a war is going on there, nothing would happen..."

Given Kallum's position, even if somebody died it wouldn't be him.

After hanging up, Calista forced herself to calm down.

Kallum wouldn't die - since the same thing happened in her previous life, nothing would change She wasn't sure what sort of injury he would suffer, but since he was as healthy as before in only a few months and there were no scars left behind, it probably wouldn't be any serious injury.

Not serious...

Calista stood up and looked out of the window, focusing on nothing in particular. She didn't even know what she was thinking about.

Day after day passed and she was about to start school in a week. Besides saying some words of comfort to Wanda every now and then, she didn't do anything else.

There was news about Lostaria

everywhere. It was a developing nation, and this social unrest was going to push them back ten years Calista knew that this internal

conflict was basically a fight for net

political power, but the thing that sparked this off was the sudden outbreak of the Influenza. The citizens of Lostaria had suffered civil war and a fatal influenza virus, and it would take more than a decade to recover from its effects.

Influenza T? A year later, doctors found a way to treat this virus. She had also come across case studies and even though she had not done extensive research, she did know more than most people.

Calista struggled for a while in her heart. Then suddenly she was clear on what she had to do.

She was an expert in medicines and had the knowledge of the next ten years of medical advancement along. Her ability to merge both modern and traditional medicine practices would allow her to develop more medicines and other treatments, and could definitely save some lives! A thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Since she was aware of this, why not go save some lives?

Lostaria was suffering from a viral outbreak, and since she wanted to go into this line of work, then she could take a trip there as an internship. Her body was special anyway, so even if she was infected she wouldn't pass it on to anybody - what was there to be afraid of? She was going to conquer all sorts of virus and illnesses in this life, so what was she worried about?
