Chapter 205 An Incompatible Pair

"Let's deal with it when we get back," Jarrett suggested, removing his shattered glasses in a somewhat lackluster mood.

His subordinate lowered his voice as he said, "This time, even if Sterling doesn't die, he'll contract the K virus. He's no longer a threat to us. After we return this time, we'll be able to act freely..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, the drama caused by the Fairchild family today is too much. Since we've already obtained what we wanted, we should perhaps leave first.

As he unleashed a barrage of questions, Calista clutched the blanket, looking at him in a somewhat dazed manner. Her luminous eyes looked as if they were sprinkled with crushed diamonds, and at that moment, without her lethal aura, she appeared innocent and beautiful. The sight of her then was capable of melting anyone's heart.

The volume of Kallum's voice inexplicably lowered.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

He furrowed his brows, sitting at the edge of the bed to touch her forehead. "Does your head hurt? Right, I'll get you some water."
