Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 131 I Need To Take A Nap

One by one, the buttons were undone.

His fair complexion and delicate collarbones were on full display, a man radiating an air of nobility. As he undressed, his face held a look of restrained desire. The sight before him was surely enough to tantalize many.

Finally, Kallum admitted defeat. He stared at Calista with a steady gaze and said, "A little sister wouldn't watch her older brother undress."

Suddenly, Calista scoffed, retaliating without hesitation, "A brother shouldn't always be thinking about kissing his sister."

With that, she turned around and left without waiting for Kallum's response.

Kallum didn't have much time to think. He swiftly stripped off his clothes, leaving only a pair of relatively long shorts on, before turning over and lying down.

Calista had also gathered his emotions, setting aside eighty-eight silver needles for the acupuncture treatment.

Utilizing this acupuncture technique depleted Calista of her internal energy every session, even inflicting damage to her vitality. Yet, after each treatment, Kallum, who had been tormented by the K virus, would feel a comforting warmth spread throughout his body, as if he was relieved. During this particular acupuncture session, neither of them spoke. Calista chose to remain silent, while Kallum was lost in thought, trying to decipher what Calista truly felt for him.

If one were to talk about affection, her demeanor had grown considerably colder than before. Yet, to say she had completely let go didn't quite align with her actions.

Kallum was uncertain whether he should hope for her to let go or not. The way they were interacting currently felt as if he had stolen those moments.

Their interactions fluctuated. Sometimes they were close and sometimes distant. Yet, it was impossible to delve deeper into their relationship. After all, no one would have the time to ponder upon such matters when life and death hung in the balance. The most complex thing in the world was emotions, especially for women like Calista, who could not see the truth of the situation clearly.

After the acupuncture session, Kallum felt a sense of relief washing over his body. The pain that had been plaguing him seemed to dissipate under a wave of warmth. Even if it was just a temporary relief, it was enough to make him want to sigh in comfort. He turned his head, watching as Calista meticulously collected the needles. The sight of her slender waist swaying in front of his eyes stirred in him an urge to pin her down and playfully tease her.

He closed his eyes, suppressing his desire once again.

At that moment, Calista playfully flicked his waistline. "Not bad. You have a great figure."

As soon as she spoke, all of Kallum's chaotic thoughts flew away, leaving him with nothing but a sense of suffocation and embarrassment.

He had an impressive set of abs and a perfect chest line up front. He could not help but wonder if Calista only just realized his good physique.

While he was thinking of that, Calista had already taken the needle to sterilize it. What she held in her hand was essentially a "weapon". Anything contaminated with the K Virus had to be incinerated and deeply buried, or thoroughly disinfected.

Fortunately, the K Virus had a poor

survival rate Outside the human

body. Thanks to the team's treatment, the virus activity in Kallum's body was reduced to its lowest level. Otherwise, they would have retreated to the depths of the wilderness long ago instead of treating anyone there.

After the disinfection, the sun had already begun to set.

Calista returned to Kallum's room to rest. During this period, she had been living with Kallum, the purpose being to keep a close watch on his condition. If Kallum were to suddenly succumb to a viral outbreak, all their efforts would have been in vain.

Though the evenings seemed

relaxed, once Calista left for school,

Kallum found himself under the

watchful eyes of seven or eight people. Not to mention the intense series of treatments he had to undergo. It was only when Calista returned that Kallum could breathe a sigh of relief. Unbeknownst to them, Calista had somehow become the leader of the small group of

renowned experts.

At that moment, Calista was utterly exhausted. She collapsed onto the small bed, lying face down, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"I need to take a nap. Wake me up in half an hour," she said, as she hadn't yet finished her studies for the day.

Kallum naturally glanced at the test questions on the small table. Before he could even speak, the other person had already fallen silent.

Gradually, the sound of Calista's even breathing filled the quiet room.

After spending some time reviewing documents and attending a video conference, Kallum noticed that Calista was still asleep.

Half an hour had already passed, but Kallum couldn't bear to disturb her. She looked exhausted, her complexion somewhat pale. Clearly, the strenuous acupuncture technique she had used took a significant toll on her body.

If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't

have resorted to such dangerous acupuncture techniques, putting

herself at risk. Calista, his lover, was truly good to him, so much so that his will to live grew stronger. He couldn't bear to imagine who would be there to protect such a wonderful person as her if one day he were to die. The mere thought made him seethe with jealousy, almost to the

point of murder.

At that moment, dinner was served. Kallum suppressed the hostility that had been creasing his brow, his gaze once again becoming clear.

Although he wanted to let Calista sleep longer, he knew it wasn't good for her to skip meals. So, after dismissing everyone, he brought the meal to her bedside. Sitting next to her, he prepared to wake her up.

The lamp by the bed would light up automatically when night came. Under the warm glow, her face lost its sharpness in the day, appearing surprisingly gentle.

It gave Kallum the urge to lick her mouth, savoring her sweetness when she was not uttering provocative words.

The urge he had forcefully suppressed began to bubble up in the stillness of the night. He didn't even dare to gaze at Calista's face for too long, for fear it would spark wild thoughts within him.

He gently pinched Calista's nose tip, hoping to awaken her. Unexpectedly, Calista began to breathe through her slightly opened mouth.
