Chapter 280 Truth Exposed 

Kallum couldn’t believe Calista was willing to do that for him.

“It’s common knowledge that once infected with the K Virus, one would suffer from a persistent fever. This fact raised suspicion because that night, everyone who visited the Fairchild family returned home in good health. It was only after they left that symptoms of infection began to appear,” said Calista. 

At that point, Harvey could no longer utter a word. It was Wayne who broke the silence in a dry tone. “Perhaps… Perhaps… They didn’t contract it directly. It could be a chronic infection, so- 

Calista waved her hand as though accepting that ludicrous statement. “When I drank Kallum’s blood carlier, would you consider that direct contact or a chronic infection?” She laughed provocatively. 

Under her somewhat teasing gaze, Wayne gradually fell silent. Actions spoke louder than words! If Calista could drink Kallum’s blood without any consequences, then that about proved whether Kallum was infected or not. After all, the most terrifying aspect of the K Virus was its infectiousness. 

Seeing everyone fall silent, Calista finally dropped her disdain, her eyes sharpening! Wherever her landed, everyone could only retreat!

“Is there anyone else who still doubts the Fairchild family? Or will you all say that I’ve already developed an antidote? Well, I’m flattered by your high regard for me. Rest assured, when I truly develop an antidote for the virus, I will announce it to everyone!” She asked with a biting sarcasm, “So, what’s it going to be? Are you planning to leave or stick around to see if I’ll come down with a fever later?” She even made a dark joke. “Maybe I’m just putting on a brave face right now.” 

Many flushed with embarrassment. Even those who tried to hide it couldn’t mask their reactions as well as she did. 

They had seen the video about the K Virus before. The fever experienced by those infected was a symbol of the virus invading their bodies. If there was no fever, then they weren’t infected. 

The principle of the K Virus antibody was at play there. If someone were mildly infected and received the antibody injection in time, they would be considered part of the fortunate one percent should their fever subside post–injection. If not, it indicated that the antibody injection had failed. 

Thus, a fever was inevitable, and so it was the most straightforward proof. 

The gazes of some bigwigs subtly lingered on Calista, seemingly filled with a hint of anticipation. 

For a moment, everyone fell silent. 

With a light chuckle, Calista turned to Howard, who was already stunned on one side and spoke. “Do you think your subordinates might have brought a thermometer in their medical kit?” 

Howard remained silent. It was the military doctor beside him who reacted, handing her the thermometer. “Yes! There is!” 

When he handed it to her, he did so with his head bowed and both hands offering it forward. That invisible show of respect could only mean one thing. At that moment, her vibe was overbearing! 

With a slight arch of her brow, Calista nonchalantly took her temperature using an ear thermometer amidst the gaze of the crowd. Without even a glance, she handed it over to Howard.

Only then did Howard take it as if he was waking from a dream. He glanced at the displayed number, his expression complicated, “Ninety–eight degrees Fahrenheit. She doesn’t have a fever” 

With that one sentence, the unspoken hopes harbored in everyone’s hearts were virtually shattered!) 

She didn’t have a fever! 

Howard let out a long sigh and glanced at her, then at Kallum before he finally spoke, 

“It seems what happened today was just a misunderstanding. I will report the situation. As for Harvey, I need him to be handed over to me eventually. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to my superiors” After he finished speaking, he promptly left with his grou 

He knew that Harvey would definitely be asked to stay behind so Kallum had a chance to vent his frustrations. 

As soon as Howard left, the atmosphere in the entire hall became incredibly oppressive, almost as if a storm was brewing beneath the surface. Everyone could feel a sense of restlessness in the air! 

Aaron was grimacing. There was nothing more agonizing than witnessing imminent success only to face immediate failure. Kallum was not ill at all! Yet, he had been led astray time and time again, acting irrationally. That was indeed the biggest blunder of his life! 

Only then did Kallum snap back! He swiftly took the bandage, wrapped up the wound, then moved to Calista’s side, holding her tightly in his arms! 

At that moment, he was consumed by anxiety, yet he couldn’t ask a single question. Deep down in his heart, there lingered a sliver of hopeful optimism. 

Thus, his handsome face was taut, and after a long while, he spoke in anger. “Apprehend Harvey!” 

At that moment, Harvey was completely silenced, unable to utter a single word as his mouth was covered. 

No one dared to question Kallum’s actions. After all, wouldn’t anyone’s mood be soured if they were repeatedly slandered? 

Wayne didn’t escape, either. He was apprehended and taken away directly, no questions asked about his whereabouts or how he would be dealt with. It had become a private matter of the Fairchild family. 

“Gunner,” Kallum ordered coldly. “I’m leaving this in your hands. These people are truly getting on my nerves!” 

After he finished speaking, he immediately intended to leave with Calista. 

The people present were suddenly taken aback! They didn’t expect Kallum to say they were getting on his nerves, making them wonder if he resented them because of the incident. If that was the case, it was a severe loss to them indeed! 

Upon seeing the situation, many people followed Kallum and shouted out loud. 

“Mr. Kallum! I do trust you! I’ve always trusted you! Please don’t be angry!” 

“Mr. Kallum, I’ve always been defending you. I told others that there’s no way you’re sick!”
