Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 178 A New Era

Shaun felt relieved when he saw that Kallum was determined to protect Calista and not sacrifice her for his own sake or put her at risk. If they could get past this hurdle, Mr. Kallum and Ms. Stafford would probably make a very happy couple, wouldn't they? By the time Calista finally finished discussing with Bowen and the others, night had already fallen.

After Wayne was called out, he never returned. Everyone knew what had happened but no one asked about his whereabouts. Since their arrival, they could only communicate with their families once a month under strict surveillance. Even if Wayne was dismissed from the research lab, he couldn't go home early.

"I think I understand what you're getting at." Bowen's eyes sparkled with intelligence. "It's common knowledge that most painkillers have a strong potential for dependency, even addiction. But if your idea works, we might just be on the brink of a new era!"

Calista nodded in agreement. She had no aspirations for fame, and her only focus was on solving problems. With medical knowledge spanning over a decade in her mind, coupled with more than a year of intensive learning, she had become one of the most formidable medical research experts of her time. However, she was not yet aware of her own prowess.

"Our workload is going to increase from here on out. We'll have a tough time ahead!" she said.

Bowen shook his head. "I'm not the one who's had it tough. It's really you. I'm just reaping the benefits of your efforts."

He shared a few pleasantries with a smile and sent Calista off to rest. Although he had much more to say, he dared not. Everyone in Fairchild Manor knew that if he dared to keep Calista after dark, he would have to face Kallum's wrath.

After having a little to eat, Calista was already quite exhausted. It was clear that she wasn't one for indulgence. Her days were filled with either studying or conducting research, yet she found joy in this. Her mood was significantly better than when she was idle. Perhaps not being pursued and not having to flee for her life was enough to satisfy her.

After she finished her bath, it was nearly bedtime. She climbed into bed with practiced ease, only to find Kaiser was not focusing on his work. Instead, he was watching her intently.
