Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 99 I Will Wait For You To Come Back

Kallum still had many things to settle so he had to stay behind and oversee the battle, but it would be over soon.

There was still fighting going on, but it was clear that they were winning against the rebel troops. In order to avoid getting into any conflict with any desperate soldiers from the enemy side, Kallum had chased Calista to go back for a long time, and he had chased her many times now. Calista was packing her things, and Kallum had to continue his mission, which was to send the last batch of firearms. The two of them would have to go separate ways, and Kallum was very reluctant.

Why did this country have to go through civil war? If there was no war, wouldn't this be a great time to develop their relationship?!

But if there was no war, then Calista wouldn't come. Besides, now Calista was willing to give him a chance, so that was the greatest reward he received for coming here.

"Go back and wait for me!" Kallum hugged her tightly. There was so much he wanted to say, but he suddenly didn't know what to say when she was really leaving.

Calista said in a serious voice, "I'm pretty useful around here, you sure you don't want me to stay and help you? I can take a few more days of leave from school."

"No need." Kallum's eyes smiled when he heard this. Calista was worried about him and this was a great improvement from before!

But how could he not worry about her?

He replied in an equally serious voice, "Once the antiviral is administered, those rebel soldiers would be forced into a corner and would do even more insane things. So it's too dangerous to stay here. Be good and go back first."

Calista saw that he was very insistent this time, so she gave up trying to convince him otherwise. She had altered the future quite a bit this time by coming here, but Kallum was probably not in danger of being hurt anymore. Kallum was due to go back after sending this last batch of firearms anyway, so he would return only a few days later than her.

Calista nodded and Kallum sent her all the way to the helicopter.

Fletcher and the team was going to stay on for a while more, and Calista was the only one going back, so only a small helicopter had been arranged for her return. But everyone was here to send Calista off.

In this short span of time, everyone had started to like this taciturn but extremely focused young lady. Regardless of whether she was poisoning people or healing people, her expression remained cold and distant. But this iciness did not make her seem heartless, but actually helped to calm everyone else down, as if with her around, there was nothing too difficult to handle.

After researching together and surviving this ordeal together, Calista had become a very well loved friend of theirs.

"Young lady, I hear you're a student at Bayview University?"

Calista nodded, "So don't tell anybody about my contributions to the antiviral, because I want to be able to study in peace."

Fletcher's eyes were filled with approval for her. She was young but didn't care for fame. With someone like that around, he didn't have to worry about the next generation of doctors!

He nodded, "Don't worry about it. After we get back, these few uncles here want to treat you to dinner, so you'd better come!"

Calista nodded, "I'll definitely be there."

After everyone had said their goodbyes, Kallum passed Calista her backpack.

Even though they had not publicly said that they were a couple, but everybody had already treated them as if they were, and now there was fondness in their eyes.

The helicopter got ready to take off, the sound of the rotor whirring made everyone take several steps back and they couldn't hear the conversation between Kallum and Calista clearly.

In the strong wind, Kallum held onto Calista's hand and passed her the backpack. Calista meant to leave after taking the backpack, but Kallum was still holding on tightly to her hand!

Did he still have anything to tell her? Wasn't he supposed to send the last batch of firearms soon? That was the more urgent thing at hand, so anything else could wait till after he returned. Strangely enough, Kallum felt like he could read Calista's thoughts.

He couldn't help but break into a smile.

After all that he had experienced in this time, Kallum was shining even more brightly than before, his beautiful dark purple eyes now looked like little half moons under his tousled hair, and Calista really liked him being this dazzling but she couldn't express it. "You know something? I'm really thankful to my mum!" Kallum bent down and spoke loudly next to her ear.

Calista was stunned for a while, before he continued, "I'm really her son after all. Whatever she chooses for me will always be the best."

Including his wife!

Calista began to blush at these words, especially with everyone looking at them fondly.

Kallum instantly noticed her blushing, and he bent down to kiss Calista's lips as if he was enchanted by her.

It was only a light kiss, but it was even more moving to the onlookers than a deep kiss.

To be able to see true love in such a place was so precious.

It wasn't the first time Calista was kissed by Kallum, but this time he had only kissed her lightly, and she felt something like an electric current running through her.

Kallum's unique manly scent mixed with the refreshing smell on himself and wrapped itself around Calista.

Calista couldn't help but look up at him.

She knew his ability, looks and

personality; sometimes he was arrogant, sometimes he was needy, sometimes, he was fierce,

sometimes he was anxious. He had displayed all these different sides of himself to her, and it didn't matter whether it was her previous life or her current one - she simply couldn't get away from this bewitching man...

When he had gently and carefully kissed her so lightly, her heart suddenly felt like it was being squeezed.

She quietly planted a quick kiss on his lips and suddenly smiled, "I'll wait for you to come back."

With that, she hopped on the helicopter without looking back.

Kallum's face was tense, but inside he was so happy that he wanted to scream loudly!

So this was being in love? So this was how it felt when two people were in love with each other?!

Kallum watched the helicopter leave for several moments before finally turning around. Once he turned around, the gentle look in his eyes was completely overtaken by fierceness. He wanted to quickly settle everything here and go back to look for her! That's right! "Gather up everyone! Prepare all weapons! Let's go!"

Everyone lifted their guns high and replied in unison, "YES SIR!"

On the flight back, Calista called Benedict to let him know that she was safe. Benedict had tried calling her some days back but couldn't get through, so Kallum called home and asked his mother to tell Benedict that his daughter was fine. After making the call, Calista closed her eyes to rest.

After going back, the first thing she wanted to do was to bathe. There was constant dust and dirt in the air, plus bodies and blood as well as screams and howls everywhere - home was still the best place to be.

The pilot was a chatty person, and because Calista was his only passenger, he had no choice but to chat with this one passenger even though it was obvious that she didn't like talking.

"Ms. Stafford, you're really

something! You know what the

international media has been reporting about Influenza T? They said it's not possible to fight this virus without at least another year or two of research, so they have to be careful to quarantine all patients and contain the virus, otherwise this could become a global crisis! But the moment you arrived, everything was settled so easily! When I think of how those people are going to be so stunned by this news, I feel like laughing!"

Calista didn't say anything. The

media had done a pretty good analysis of the situation. This virus was extremely contagious and could mutate within the patient's body, making it very hard to fight. She was able to create the antiviral capsule only because she had the advantage of foresight and remembered the

major components from her previous life.

But when she thought about how many people would be able to survive as a result of this success, Calista felt pretty good too, and smiled a little.

"Ms. Stafford, you're really such a good match with Mr. Kallum! Mr. Kallum used to be so aloof, and always felt unapproachable. But after he started liking you, he became friendlier! Now he's more approachable, and I'm sure Mrs. Fairchild would be very happy to know

this!"
