Chapter 268 The Unrepented Reginal

Kallum opened his eyes. His violet irises were fixated on her. His voice was soft, yet it carried a significant weight. “Without you, my suffering would be greater.”

Calista couldn’t help but look up, and the moment their eyes met, she suddenly felt as if she had been

scorched.

This feeling was somewhat out of control as if something had suddenly stirred the deepest part of her heart. It was a slightly sour and swelling sensation, yet not entirely unpleasant.

After suturing the wound, Calista removed her gloves and stood up. However, her foot had gone numb, causing her to stumble forward and fall directly into Kallum’s arms.

Her ear pressed against Kallum’s chest. Suddenly, he began to laugh, and the muffled sound of his laughter seeped into her ears.

“You can always throw yourself into my arms more often in the future. It makes me really happy!”

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, Calista rolled her eyes and hoisted herself up.

“You should really think about how you’re going to deceive them. They definitely won’t let this go easily. The real question is, when will your health improve?” She furrowed her brows. “Once things are settled here, I have to return to Corleon. It seems like our research on the K Virus has hit a roadblock again. Despite our efforts and the fact that we’re leading globally in this research, it’s still not enough.”

She furrowed her brows, emphasizing her point once more. “It’s not enough!”

Kallum didn’t want to part ways with her. To be frank, his life was hanging by a thread. Despite his strong confidence in himself and in her, he was still terrified of the possibility that one day he might fall asleep and never wake up to see her face again.

“I’ll go with you. I can temporarily delegate my work to my father.”

Seeing his resolute attitude, there wasn’t much left for Calista to say, so she could only agree. “All right. That is if you manage to go abroad successfully.”

Meanwhile, after Harvey learned about Hendrick’s intervention and disastrous defeat, he was so upset that he nearly passed out

After being resuscitated at the hospital, he was utterly baffled. How could Calista possibly be pregnant? If the child isn’t Kallum’s, it’ll be revealed in due time. How could she be pregnant?

No matter how Harvey thought about it, he felt that something was off with Kallum. The Fairchild family was powerful and influential, so it was improbable for them to suddenly intervene in global issues, especially without absolute certainty of success. The only explanation Harvey could think of was that the Fairchild family needed to conquer the K Virus. Therefore, they were willing to spend a large sum of money on it.

Moreover, Regina’s intelligence that night confirmed his suspicions. There were too many areas of doubt. It was clear that something was wrong with Kallum, but they simply couldn’t get him to comply. Even if the Murray family intervened, they didn’t have the ability to force Kallum to undergo a blood test.

Moreover, the thought of his lost dock pained Kallum’s heart. After being forced into a division of the familunerate ha did rangina bir dakiful -kara Hou

impossible now, especially since he lost five docks.

Even though he suffered such a significant loss, he couldn’t even inflict the slightest damage on the Fairchild family. He couldn’t blame the Murray family either. After all, they, too, had their own losses.

The more one suffered losses, the more crazed they became. The desperation to drag their enemies down with them would gradually lead to a reckless gambler’s mentality, which could drive a person to commit horrifying acts.

“If even the Murray family can’t force Kallum to comply, I’ll have no choice but to escalate the situation. I refuse to believe. I simply refuse to believe that I can’t bring him down!”

With a terrifying thought forming in mind, Harvey made a call with trembling hands. Even if it meant risking everything he had, he couldn’t let Kallum off the hook. He knew clearly that once Kallum got through this sensitive period, he would be the first one to be targeted by the latter. Therefore, Harvey decided he had to drag Kallum down before the latter could make a move.

Even though it could lead to terrifying consequences, at that point, there was no room for such considerations.

At the same time, Regina had been taken away by the Yost family. In a way, Regina instigated that night’s events. Therefore, Wanda, for the first time, took on the demeanor of a superior, disregarding their families‘ years of friendship. No matter how George pleaded, Wanda remained unmoved and firmly severed their ties.

However, the prospect of severing ties wasn’t what terrified George. It was the potential revenge that followed. The mere thought of the possible repercussions caused George to grimace. Regina’s actions were tantamount to positioning the entire Yost family against the Fairchild family. The relationship he had painstakingly maintained for years had gone down the drain in an instant.

“Why on earth would you do something so foolish?” George exclaimed. “You wanted to avenge Mirabelle, but why would you listen to Harvey and cause trouble for Kallum? Even Harvey’s own brothers are avoiding him, yet you dared to join forces with him. You! You’re nothing but trouble! If you were only causing problems for your own family, that would be one thing. But now, who knows what the Fairchild family is thinking? They might even think this was my idea. How did I end up marrying such a troublesome woman?”

Despite being harshly scolded, Regina didn’t dare to retort. All she could do was cry.

“I really didn’t know it would turn out like this. Boohoo… Mirabelle suffered so much in jail. This is a rare opportunity, so how could I let it slip? Should I have let Mirabelle suffer in vain?”

“You!” Upon seeing Regina’s unrepentant demeanor, George was nearly driven to his wit’s end by her.

“But did you get your revenge? Hendrick came tonight, but what’s the use? Did he dare to pressure Kallum into a blood test? Did Kallum dare to gamble with him? It was only you! You acted thoughtlessly. Not only did you fail to cause them the slightest harm, but you completely brought your own downfall! Do you think what you did would benefit Mirabelle? You’re actually causing more harm to her!”
