Chapter 289 The First Stage Has Succeeded
“Haven’t you ever thought of it?” Calista tilted her head, her voice dripping with seduction. “With us both infected, the issue of transmission no longer exists. As a normal man… don’t you have any thoughts about
me?”
Argh! She’s really pushing me to my limits!
Kallum’s gaze was involuntarily glued to her face, her graceful neck, and her delicate collarbone.
D“mn it!
He suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming dangerously, and glared at her menacingly. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Darn it! Once you’re well, I’ll make sure you can’t even get out of bed!”
After he had finished saying that, he turned and left. Calista was left alone in the bathtub, laughing triumphantly. For some reason, she found it incredibly amusing to see Kallum with pent–up desire. As for what would happen after his recovery, she would deal with that when the time came.
Upon returning to the room, Kallum downed several glasses of ice water before he barely managed to quell his desire. However, the thought of Calista’s subtle flirtation, her smirk, and her captivating eyes left him feeling a touch desolate. In the end, he collapsed onto the bed in frustration, looking as though he had lost all will to li
“D“mn it, you little imp! I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed! Just you wait!”
As he said that through gritted teeth, he hesitated momentarily before deciding to give himself relief.
At the height of physical agony and ecstasy, he frowned in slight displeasure. If it weren’t for Calista’s current hardship with testing the medicine, I… I would’ve devoured her a long time ago and marked every inch of her! Anyway, I’ve waited for so long. What’s a few more months? Just wait! Once I’ve recovered, she’d be doomed. Hmph!
“N–No!”
Mirabelle jolted upright with a startled cry, but the scene from a few days ago left her with indelible
trauma..
She couldn’t forget what she had given up to save her family from bankruptcy. Her innocence she had preserved for so long was squandered on a lowlife.
She recalled her tarnished reputation, the year she spent behind bars, and her family having completely offended the Fairchild family, leaving her future bleak. Conversely, her nemesis thrived, receiving a marriage proposal and being pregnant. In fact, some reckoned that the unusual quietness of the Fairchild family was due to wedding preparations.
All of this was supposed to be mine! It was Calista who stole my past! Were it not for her, Kallum would never have known who exactly saved him. Yes, he must have only changed his perception of her because he owed her a debt of gratitude. So, it’d be best if she were dead! If she had died, there would be no one to expose me, and I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation now…
The more she thought about it, the angrier she grew. I’m now soiled, so why should she remain pure? What gives?

She thought of the man who took her precious first time and how she had him wrapped around her little finger. Perhaps I can do something about it, huh?
“The first stage has succeeded!”
As everyone erupted in cheers, a hint of a smile bloomed on Calista’s pale face. She divided the conquer of the virus into three stages. The first stage, also known as the protection stage, had succeeded. They managed to enhance the efficacy of the antibodies to eighty percent. In other words, if one came into contact with the K virus, there was an eighty percent chance they wouldn’t get infected if they were injected with the antibodies in her hand within two hours. That breakthrough in the first stage was already enough to awe the world.
“Let’s not publicize this for now. We can’t draw the world’s attention just yet. Let’s proceed directly to the second stage!” Calista said after pondering for a moment.
The second stage was the inhibition stage, which involved curbing the virus‘ mutation within the body. The complexity of the K virus lay in its constant mutations once it entered the human body. Therefore, halting its mutation was not only the most challenging but also the most crucial step.
That stage was the most difficult for Calista. As a human test subject, that was the most painful stage for her because once the inhibition was successful, the virus within her body would rebound wildly. The pain she experienced then would be nothing compared to what was to come.
After ten non–special test subjects who were captured with her back then were injected with the medicine for the second stage that had succeeded on her, eight of them died from the excruciating pain. The other two survived only because they were timely injected with anesthetics..
The individuals present were all experts, so they could vaguely deduce how challenging the second stage would be for Calista.
Thus, Bowen patted her on the shoulder and said solemnly, “Don’t rush things. You can take a few days to rest and prepare. Although we don’t have much time, everything has to be based on your endurance.”
Calista chuckled lightly. “My endurance is fine?
After she had finished speaking, she shook her head. “We can’t wait much longer. Let’s start tomorrow. All of you have worked hard today, so rest well tonight.”
“Okay. You’re the one who should rest well.”
All other experts followed Calista’s lead at present because she was just too formidable. There were numerous times when they thought she couldn’t make it, but she always persevered. She didn’t at all seem like a girl less than twenty.
After Calista had taken a bath, Quintus came to fetch her.
“Ms. Calista, in celebration of this stage’s success, Mrs. Fairchild personally cooked. She sent me to fetch you!”
