Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 124 I Want To Marry You!

Unlike his mother, Kallum pondered over Calista’s words and frowned. “So, you’re saying that you can extend anyone’s life no matter who it is or what sickness they have? Then any dying person will come seeking your help! Won’t this technique bring you harm? If it won’t, then it’s unbelievablet”

Calista chuckled solily. Of course it’ll bring me harm! If such an amazing acupuncture technique was harmless, I would be dominated the world already. I was hunted down in my previous life because I mastered three extraordinary acupuncture techniques,

The first was the Life Extending Needle. This method was rather aggressive as it transferred all the vitality from the acupuncturist’s body to the patient. Essentially, the patient was taking someone else’s life in order to survive. Naturally, this would significantly extend their lifespan. In the end, unless the person died from an accident, old age, or a viral infection, they could live up to the human lifespan limit.

The Life Extending Needle she administered to Kallum was a modified version. She would administer it once every three days, each time only injecting a small amount of her energy into Kallum’s body. Although it did have some detrimental effects on her body, they weren’t too severe.

In her previous life, those people who were desperate to stay alive naturally rejected that. Having it done. every three days was akin to entrusting their lives into her hands.

Of course, that wasn’t the only reason she was hunted down. However, in this lifetime, that would not longer happen.

Kallum called out to Calista when he saw her lost in thought. “Calista?”

Regaining her composure, Calista scoffed. “Yes, there is some harm, but it’s not severe. All I need is some rest. If you’re so concerned about me overexerting myself, then pray that we replace a cure for the K Virus soon. That way, I won’t have to keep performing acupuncture on you.”

Wanda was instantly overwhelmed with emotion. They had been getting along well recently, leading her to believe she might even have grandchildren soon. It was unfortunate that Kallum fell ill, but despite so, Calista selflessly came to his rescue. Wanda swore to herself that if Kallum pulled through and was able to survive this, she would make him marry Calista.

But now we don’t know for sure, so it’s best not to mention that first to avoid celebrating too early.

“Callie, rest assured that no one will leak the news about your miraculous medical skills. The entire Fairchild family will protect you!” promised Wanda

After receiving Wanda’s assurance, Calista smiled. “Thanks, Mrs. Fairchild.”

“Why are you still calling me that? We’re family now! Silas told me that for the sake of treatment convenience, you’re my daughter from now on,” chided Wanda.

Once Kallum is better, Callie can transform from our goddaughter to our daughter–in–law. Even if he doesn’t get better, it’ll be nice to have a daughter like Callie…

Wanda’s face, initially lit up with joy, fell at the thought of her son’s illness. She had to constantly brace herself for the heart–wrenching possibility of outliving her child. Without a strong mentality, she wouldn’t have been able to bear it.

Wanda was filled with relief, forcing a sunile. “Callie, thank you! I’m touched enough to hear you say that, I’ll be off now. Once Kallum is feeling better, we’ll host a banquet and announce to the whole world that you’re my daughter!”

Calista nodded. “You seem tired. Go get some rest. That can wait.”

Wanda acknowledged with a nod, cast another glance at her son, then left the room with teary eyes.

After Wanda left. Kallum, still hung up on the treatment potentially bringing harm to Calista, grabbed her hand and asked earnestly, “Will treating me harm your body? Will it leave any side effects?”

Calista smiled mischievously. “Instead of worrying about yourself, you’re concerned about me?”

“Why should I be worried about myself?” he asked, having already prepared himself for the worst–death. There wasn’t any other outcome worse than that.

Calista curved her lips,

an evil smirk. “If we never manage to conquer the virus, your suffering will only get worse. The numerous complications brought by the K Virus are enough to make your life a living hell. By then, you might even blame me, for keeping you alive would be a form of torment.”

She made it sound more terrifying than ever, attempting to elicit an expression of fear on Kallum’s face. However, to her surprise, Kallum simply looked at her and suddenly smiled.

He reached out, pinching her face while narrowing his eyes, seemingly satisfied to see her like that. “Are you trying to scare me, Callie?”

His voice was incredibly gentle, laced with a hint of affection.

Calista’s features contorted from his pinch, and she smacked his hand away, saying gloomily, “You might even turn into a zombie and go berserk!”

Kallum couldn’t help but smile when listening to her emphasize the horrifying consequences. “I promise I won’t become a zombie or go berserk as long as I can live.”

Calista scoffed and was about to mock him when he added, “As long as there’s a chance to cure the virus, I’ll hold on. I want to marry you. I initially thought I wouldn’t have the chance, but now that I have, I will hang in there no matter what until the day I get to marry you.”

Calista’s face fell when she heard that, and a faint sense of annoyance rose within her. Fixing her bright eyes on Kallum, she scoffed.
