Her Vengeful Rebirth

Chapter 412 I Am Indeed Infected

“Calista Stafford? We have concerns you might be infected with the K Virus. We need your cooperation for a blood test right away!” The stern–faced officer’s voice was chillingly authoritative, the coldness in the tone conveying an unmistakable sense of command.

Quintus attempted to intervene. “Could there be a mistake?” He glanced toward Kurt, who lay motionless on the ground, his condition a possible clue. “He’s one of Kiefer’s men from Lostaria. Isn’t it plausible that he could have been the carrier of the K Virus, potentially unleashing catastrophic consequences?”

The officers exchanged brief looks, signaling to each other with subtle nods. At a gesture from one of them, several individuals clad in pristine white suits advanced toward Kurt, ready to administer the blood

test.

Meanwhile, Calista, exhausted from the ordeal, shut her eyes briefly. She had eliminated Kurt while he was feverish, clearly in the throes of infection. It was only a matter of time before they realized this. Once they did, they would inevitably seek her out again.

She knew that Quintus planned to whisk her away first and address the fallout later, banking on the Fairchilds to handle any diplomatic repercussions. However, if this incident came to the attention of the family’s rivals, it would undoubtedly provoke significant turmoil. Calista decided it was wiser to confront the issue head–on rather than let it escalate from a minor misunderstanding into a major conflict.

With these thoughts weighing on her, she slowly stepped out from behind Quintus.

Upon noticing her emergence, Quintus exclaimed with a mix of concern and urgency, “Ms. Calista!”

“It’s okay,” Calista responded, her voice steady despite her pale complexion. “Old Mr. Yancey will take care of me, don’t worry.”

With a resolute expression, she then turned to the officer who had demanded her cooperation. “There’s no need for a test; I am indeed infected with the K Virus.”
