Then, he gently licked her lips and added, "But the pain will go away once I have you..." With a generous smile, Calista said, "Then dig in!"
"I won''t be holding back!"
Kallum pounced, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the room became thick with desire. They had experienced all the intimacy a man and woman could share, stopping just short of the final step. If it weren''t for the looming threat of the K Virus, perhaps they could have found even more happiness.
However, the very next day, Kallum received a piece of news that was utterly vexing.
"Are you certain you didn''t make a mistake?" For the first time, Kallum questioned thepetence of his subordinates.
From all the way in Chanaea, Paul the butler assured him confidently, "No. Sterling has indeed returned. Moreover, he personally came to Fairchild Manor to leave you an invitation. He said he''d like to invite you and Ms. Stafford to attend the Wolford family''s banquet." The butler paused for a moment, then added, "Hisplexion was normal and healthy. He didn''t look like he had the K Virus at all."
As Calista listened from the side, her expression gradually darkened. Could it be that those people were as indestructible as cockroaches?
There was no way Sterling could pass through thatboratory where the virus had leaked without getting infected. Moreover, they had even found the blood that he had coughed up. It was clear he was infected, so how could he appear normal?
After hanging up the phone and seeing that Calista was upset, Kallum hastily reassured her, "No matter what he ns to do, don''t worry. You still have me."
Kallum wasn''t afraid of the Wolford family''s retaliation, as long as they had the capability to do so.
"Right now, Sterling has lost the resources from Jeahron, making it nearly impossible for him to make aeback. At this point, charges like arms trafficking and profiting from war are enough to bring him down. You don''t need to worry." Calista shook her head. "That''s not it. I was just wondering about the purpose of his invitation to the banquet."
"He definitely has ill intentions, so we just won''t go."
Suddenly, Calista let out a sigh. "I have a feeling it''s not that simple. This action of his seems quite reckless. I think he might have lost his mind."
Sterling was indeed going mad!
"Check again! You must have made a mistake!" Sterling was frantically clutching a doctor, who looked even more terrified than if he had been seized by a demon!Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
"Mr. Wolford... um... There''s no mistake. You... you have indeed contracted the K Virus!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was forcefully kicked by Sterling, leaving him groaning on the ground.
"How could this be? How is this even possible?"
No matter how Sterling thought
about it, it all seemed absurd to him.
He was perfectly fine, even
managed to leave Jeahron without a hitch and took a passenger ne back. How could he possibly have contracted the K Virus? Didn''t those infected with the K Virus suffer from ahigh fever for three days and experience intense body pain? Forget about returning to his country; he shouldn''t have even
been able to leave the mountain.
Upon his return, he considered himself to be among the extremely fortunate. Despite having passed through theboratory where the virus had leaked, his only symptom had been coughing up a bit of blood. He had no other issues, leading him to believe he hadn''t contracted the virus. He felt as though even the heavens were on his side!
Just yesterday, he returned home in a fit of rage and sought sce in thepany of a woman. However, not long after their encounter began, the woman started to spike a fever. Haunted by the specter of the K Virus, he was immediately petrified. Upon examination, the woman had indeed contracted the K Virus.
However, she had been perfectly fine when she arrived!
After what happened with the virus in Jeahron, Sterling was feeling traumatized. Hence, he had insisted that his butler first arrange aprehensive medical examination for the woman. Only if there were no issues could she be brought over...
If the issue wasn''t with her, then it must be with him! It was only then that he tested himself and was informed of the earlier conclusion.
Sterling copsed onto the ground with a mixture ofughter and tears. He was uncertain whether he was fortunate or unfortunate. On one hand, he was lucky to have returned alive. On the other hand, he had indeed not managed to escape the K Virus. Gradually, as he watched the doctor groaning on the ground before him, a glint of murderous intent shed in his eyes.
Why do I have to die while these insignificant creatures get to livefortably?
When Sterling''s gaze swept over him, the doctor didn''t dare to make a sound. Bearing with the severe pain, he sprawled at Sterling''s feet, his eyes filled with pleading.
"Mr. Wolford, please don''t kill me! I swear I''ll keep my mouth shut!"
His face was ashen, slick with cold sweat that almost dampened his sses as he pleaded, "My daughter was just born, while my wife has been frail and sickly since childhood. I can''t die. Mr. Wolford, I beg you, give me a chance. I promise I won''t breathe a word of this!" Sterling stared at him for a moment. Eventually, his tears andughter stopped. It was as if he had epted reality.
He asked softly, "If I were truly infected, then why don''t I have any symptoms?"
Seeing that Sterling had calmed
down, the doctor quickly tried to
appease him "Mr. Wolford, it seems
that you have a unique natural
constitution, making you
the K Virus. You are an asymptomatic carrier of the virus, but you''re notpletely insted. In other words, you can infect others, but you won''t be affected by the virus yourself. As long as you''re careful not to infect others, you can still lead a normal life!"
The doctor''s frantic words made Sterlingugh. "Can I still lead a normal life like this?"
A glint of bloodlust shed in his eyes. Suddenly, he sprang up, lunging at the doctor. His mouth opened wide, and he bit fiercely into the doctor''s neck, drawing blood instantly!
