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 tbefore 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 cto 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." Her admission sent shockwaves through not just the Fairchild family's men present but also the officers who had cto detain her. Calista was well known in Horington as a favorite of Kallum; the implications. of her infection were profound.

Regardless, their mission had to go on, and Calista's cooperation was welcomed.

The officer, recovering from his initial shock, maintained his professional demeanor. “In that case, Ms. Stafford, please cwith us." Calista nodded in acknowledgment and began to approach the officers.

"Ms. Calista..." Quintus reached out instinctively, his hand grasping her arm as he struggled to process the unfolding events. The evening had been set for celebration, with plans to apprehend Kiefer and dismantle the terrorist network he had infiltrated into Horington. How had it spiraled into this catastrophe? Ultimately, he blamed himself for not providing sufficient protection.

"Let her gol" commanded the leading officer, his voice tense as he faced the armed guards.

He understood the considerable influence wielded by the Fairchilds, and he knew his assignment here was no accident, given his reputation for integrity. Despite the complexities, his orders were clear-Calista needed to be taken into custody immediately due to the danger she posed.

Quintus' voice turned icy with resolve. "She needs immediate medical attention, and I am taking her back!" "Interfering could have severe repercussions for the people of Horington. We expect your cooperation," the officer countered firmly.

"And if I refuse?" Quintus narrowed his eyes, determined to act in accordance with what he believed. Kallum would expect to ensure Calista's safety and leave the larger issues to the Fairchild family to manage.

At his refusal, the standoff intensified, with the officers readying their weapons. The air thick with tension seemed charged as if preluding a storm.

"Enough already..." Calista groaned, pushing through her pain. She gently pushed Quintus away and steadied herself. "I'll be fine." "Ms. Calista..." Quintus started, but Calista had already turned to address the officer directly.

"I need medical attention now," she asserted, reaching forthe officer's arm as a sign of her willingness to comply. The officer, reassured by her cooperation, helped stabilize her. "You'll be safe in the quarantine area,” he assured her, his voice a mixture of relief and professionalism.

When Kallum received the distressing call, his reaction was so severe that he nearly let his phone slip from his grasp.

The voice on the other end relentlessly delivered the alarming news, “Due to Ms. Calista, the K-virus has been released, resulting in over a hundred infections in Horington. The outbreak has triggered widespread panic throughout the area! Furthermore, Ms. Calista has been taken to the quarantine area!" The news that over a hundred people had been infected marked a grave crisis.

Initially, the local health authorities had identified only one or two cases and mistook them for common colds or seasonal flu. Patients, believing they were suffering from minor O allments, sought treatment at hospitals where many were already vulnerable and weakened. The presence of sless skilled doctors exacerbated the situation.
