Calista glanced back at Kallum. Seeing that he was still holding on to her, she tiptoed and whispered into his ear.

"The reason I returned, besides my father, was primarily to understand why he wasn't infected. Perhaps he is the key to conquering the virus? Your body is deteriorating by the day, don't think I'm unaware of it. I absolutely must go!"
