Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 94 Admit That You LikeMedical analysis and testing would take quite a while, so Calista passed her record book of observations she made during this tto Quintus, and decided to wash up and get a good rest. It had been a while since she last slept well.

Two young assistants walked out along with her. They were here to learn and get shands on experience, but they weren't here on their own accord. They were sent here by their families.

Their families had good relations with the Fairchilds, and their motive for sending their precious daughters to a place like this was obvious.

A romance on the battle field, sharing in weal and woe - that was surely a stronger case than the fiancée that was betrothed to Kallum, right? Once Calista removed her mask, the two women realized that Calista was as young as them, and started making nasty assumptions.

One of them muttered, "I thought it was sbig shot, just passing out a record book and herbs the moment she arrived. The professors don't even have any idea what to do with this influenza, and she talks about it as if it's normal flu. I didn't expect her to be a little girl - what a great pretender!" They were in their late twenties while Calista was eighteen, so she was like a little girl to them.

Calista didn't want to bother about what they said. Her eyes and ears were very sharp, but normally she would just pretend that she didn't hear what they said.

The other girl with her started to analyze the situation, "It's obvious isn't it? She's here to claim credit. If the professors succeed in their research, then she'll claim the credit and her career would take off. It's risky, but it would really pay off!" "Oh really? I don't think her aim is the research!" The female assistant who spoke first felt that all this was unfair. She had put in money and effort to becthe understudy of a famous doctor, but this woman didn't do anything and attained the sstatus as the professors, plus she was so pretty. If her aim was Mr. Kallum, then these two assistants weren't going to stand a chance against her.

"She just used a bunch of herbs to smoke her way through, what a shameless ploy - but the professors actually believed her! They probably gave her the benefit of the doubt on account of the person who sent her...and she's so pretty...looks like she's another ambitious one!" Calista stopped in her tracks.

The two assistants who were sdistance away also stopped. They were so far away from her, surely she couldn't have heard them? Calista turned around and glared at the two women with her sparkly eyes.

"So you want to say that I'm here to seduce someone? Or here to claim credit for research?" She really heard them! One of them with a baby face, Willow Quinn, replied aggressively, "Both! I've seen every expert in the country, but I've never seen you before! Who knows where on earth you even appeared from? With such a foxy face, maybe you're here to both claim credit and seduce Mr. Kallum right? What a great plan!" "Me? Cto seduce Kallum? And claim credit?" Calista twirled her long hair as she asked coldly, "Remember to bring your brain along when you go out next tok? Your professors don't even dare to say any nonsense to me, what are you?" When Calista was tired, her tongue beca thousand times more poisonous, and these daughters of wealthy families understudying famous professors almost vomited blood on the spot.

"And who said herbs can't treat illnesses?" Calista coldly curled her lips and looked pitifully at Willow, "If you don't know enough then don't shoot your mouth off like that. Fletcher has been a genius all his life, but he actually took people like you to be his disciples in his old age - I - I fear he might die early." "You! How dare you speak tolike this! Do you know who I am?!" Willow ignored her friend's attempts to hold her back and took a step forward, her face ready to confront this hussy in front of her! "I'm from the Quinn family in Summerbank! Mr. Kallum can even be considered my cousin, so don't think that just because you're sent here by the Fairchilds, you can treat other people like dirt! You're just a doctor!" A relative? That was definitely way too farfetched.

Calista laughed even more beautifully, and coldness shone in her sparkly eyes. There was an indescribable disdain in her gaze.

"Wow I would never have known that you're Kallum's cousin! Alright then, that makesyour cousin-in-law, why don't you greetthat way?" Cousin-in-law? Willow had never seen such a shameless woman in her life! "Dream on! Mr. Kallum is mine! I bandaged his wounds when he was injured! What are you? You're not even fit to dream about Mr. Kallum!" "It's not her who's dreaming of me, I'm the one dreaming about her," Kallum felt that if he didn't cout and handle this situation, his reputation was going to be torn to pieces by these two women He didn't even recall any woman bandaging his wounds.

He smiled and took Calista's hand in his, but glanced coldly at the two women who had gone white in the face. "I'm just curious - since when did I have an additional cousin?" "No...that...Mr. Kallum, I can explain..." Kallum just turned to Ryder and said, "Call someone to send them back. I don't need any spoilt brats here." "Got it." Ryder's response made the two women's faces turn ashen. Their families had made so much effort to send them here but they were going to be sent back so quickly - they would surely be punished! But of course, Kallum didn't even think about any of this. He held Calista's hand as they walked out, and suddenly couldn't feel any more pain.

"So you said that you're her cousin-in-law just now? So you admit to being my woman now?" He was smiling very gleefully now, unlike the vexed or solemn face he had on earlier. His smile always shone brighter than sunshine! Calista didn't have any response to that. This was not the right tor place to talk about things like that! "Let go! I'm going to take a nap."

"Ok, I'll take you!" Kallum brought Calista to his room. It was only a simple hospital ward, but the sheets was were white and the floor was clean, which was rare in a tlike this. Calista wiped herself and then collapsed onto the bed. Kallum just sat next to the bed and looked at her, and she had no idea what he was thinking about. Even though Calista was very tired, it was difficult to sleep with someone watching her like that.

"Why are you looking at me? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about you!" Kallum smiled, "I thought about it very I carefully and I still think it's strange that you've chere. Why did you come? Were you here to look for me?" Calista curled deeper into the blanket and closed her eyes. She shouldn't have asked! The corner of Kallum's lips curled upwards. He drew his handsface closer to her and whispered, "And you dashed out to savein such a dangerous situation. Is it because you...have started likingagain?" There was still a lingering fragrance on him from having just bathed. Calista took a deep breath - she wasn't able to answer this question herself either.

Had she cto save lives? This desire had becstronger after coming here, but what made her want to chere in the first place? "Callie...admit it? You like me!"

Kallum's low voice had hints of happiness in it. He removed his shoes and om and hopped onto the bed, and only a blanket separated him and Calista as he put his face close to hers and gazed at her.
