Those with deeper insight into the Fairchilds knew more about her; Calista was not only a medical prodigy but also the goddaughter of the Fairchild family and Kallum’s younger sister on paper.
As Calista stepped into the spotlight, Kallum’s usually icy demeanor softened momentarily, giving the reporters pause. Before they could bombard her with more questions, she tilted his head toward them and spoke clearly.
“I know the question on everyone’s mind. Yes, my brother was indeed attacked by that lunatic. But <b>just </b>now, in the car, he received the antibody shot. It’s quite evident that his fever has subsided. He’s now part of the fortunate one percent.”
Some of the reporters seemed convinced, noting that Kallum appeared free of any feverish symptoms, his eyes bright and exuding authority.
Yet, skepticism lingered among most of them, driven as they were by the hunt for controversy. Unintimidated by the possible repercussions from the Fairchilds, they pressed on with their probing questions<b>.</b>
“The implications of this situation are significant. Is the Fairchild family considering a press conference to perform a public blood test to ay public concerns?”
A reporter eagerly chimed in, microphone in hand, “Given that the K Virus <b>is </b>extremely contagious and uniformly <i>fatal</i>, immediate confirmation is crucial to prevent a potentially disastrous impact on the Fairchild family’s stock values. What measures is your family nning to take?”
These issues were already weighing on Kallum’s mind. He knew that if they weren’t addressed swiftly, not only the Fairchilds‘ branch families but also their shareholders and rivals lurking in the shadows would start causing trouble.
<i>But </i>that’s okay<b><i>, </i></b>thought Kallum<b>, </b>ncing at Calista with reassurance<b>, </b>feeling invincible with her by his side.
Calista, feeling the reassuring squeeze of Kallum’s hand, looked up at him and addressed the crowd, “After receiving the antibody shot, a recovery period of one to three months <b>is </b>required. During this time, my brother will be in seclusion. What <b>is </b>there for you all to worry about? Those infected with the virus rarely survive beyond a month. By the time he’s seen in public again, any spection or rumors will have naturally dissolved. So why push for a press conference when he’s unwell?”
The reporters frowned, processing her logic. <b>It </b>seemed usible that Kallum had indeed joined the rare survivors of the virus, and any doubts would be rified in a month’s time.
<b><i>But </i></b>what <i>if </i><i>Calista </i>is misleading <i>us</i>? <i>What </i><i>if </i><i>Kallum </i><i>inadvertently </i><i>spread </i><i>the </i>virus within <i>that </i><i>month</i>? The <i>implications </i><b><i>could </i></b>be <b><i>catastrophic</i></b><i>.</i>
At that crucial moment, Kallum stepped forward, positioning himself protectively in front of Calista. His aura grew more formidable<b>, </b><b>a </b>clear sign of his resolve.
“What Callie <b>has </b>said mirrors my own <b>stance</b>. If you really insist <b>on </b><b>a </b>press conference<b>, </b><b>it </b><b>will </b><b>have </b><b>to </b><b>wait </b>until after my recovery<b>. </b>I’m sure <i>you </i>can understand how taxing the <b>recovery </b><b>from </b>an antibody <b>injection </b>can <b>be</b><b>. </b>Despite knowing I’m unwell, you persist with these intrusions. <b>Are </b>you <b>trying </b><b>to </b><b>provoke </b><b>a </b><bwsuit</b>?<b>”</b>

Kallum then led Calista, step by measured step, inside. He adjusted his pace to amodate <b>her </b>high heels, making their entrance seem less like that of siblings and more like a couple deeply in <b>tune </b><b>with </b><b>each </b>other.
As the grand doors swung shut behind them, a hush fell over the crowd. Inside, they both knew <b>this </b><b>was </b>merely the beginning of their struggles.
Upon receiving the news, Ss was already mobilizing influential allies, while Wanda had retreated, turning down any visits to focus on the crisis at hand.
After a month, a critical period, they would be poised <b>to </b>act decisively, potentially doubling their impact with half the effort.
Inside, Kallum turned off hisptop and addressed his assistant, Quintus, “What’s thetest on Sterling?”
Calista, too, was keenly interested in the man’s fate. Given his unique medical condition, <b>he </b>presented a rare research opportunity as a human test subject.
Quintus responded, “Sterling is not only a serious health risk but also a major criminal. Exposing him will require careful handling and a legitimate justification.”
Kallum nced at Calista with a mischievous grin. “A justification? I think I have the perfect one.<b>”</b>
Curiosity piqued, Calista looked at him expectantly.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
“My dear <b>sister </b>has always been deeply involved in researching the K Virus, even traveling to Corleon for it. As her brother, it’s only right that I support her,” Kallum stated.
He continued, stroking his chin thoughtfully, “I recall that Grandpa’s will mentioned a property meant to serve as a nursing home. I could convert that into a biosafety level four research center and get it nationally certified. That <i>way</i>, you can conduct your research openly and legitimately right here.”
“The missing piece <b>is </b>a unique subject like Sterling. But once sessful<b>, </b>it could be a monumental contribution to the world. I’m sure the government would <b>see </b>the benefit,” Kallum concluded, watching the excitement light up Calista’s <b>eyes</b>.
“Are you really setting up a research center just for me? My own research center?” Calista was not the kind of girl who dreamed of luxury <b>bags </b>or makeup; <b>her </b>dream was far more substantial.
Seeing the spark in her eyes, Kallum chastised himself. <i>Had </i><b>I </b>known it <i>would </i><b><i>make </i></b><b><i>her </i></b><b><i>this </i></b><b><i>happy</i></b><i>, </i>I <i>would’ve </i><b><i>done </i></b>this <b><i>sooner!</i></b>
He nodded affirmatively. “Exactly, I’ll establish a <b>research </b>center just for you. And Sterling will be your very first subject”
