Chapter 202 Back To The Present
âNol
In the midst of Calistaâs piercing scre
the needle was ruthlessly jabbed into her shoulder. She was unable to resist, left only to watch as the serum gradually disappeared, her consciousness sinking into despair.
âDonât you enjoy running away?â
Sterling took a step back with a smile, his voice far away.
âYou are free now,â
Sterling glared at Calista. âWhen have you ever begged me on your knees?â
Calistaâs smile remained unchanged. âIt must have been a dream, I guess.â
She extended her hand, her gun aiming at Sterlingâs head. âAnyway, the sight of you just makes me feel uncomfortable. So, you might as well just die.â
In the final moment, Sterling could no longer deceive himself- Calista was truly capable of killing him.
âWait! Donât you want to know the secret between Yelená and Quincy? Donât you want to know why I initially helped them to destroy you?â
The infuriating names that popped up only served to fuel Calistaâs anger further.
Calistaâs eyes sparkled like blazing fires, and when she broke into a smile, it was startlingly captivating.
âI donât want to know. I just want you dead right now!â
The moment she pulled the trigger, a voice suddenly cried out. âMr. Jarrett, run!â
At that moment, Calista suddenly realized something and swiftly rushed toward Jarrett.
Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed. The entire cave began to quÃverâan explosion had occurred!
Among the four individuals who had previously surrendered, one was surprisingly a dieâhard follower of Sterlingâs.
Upon seeing Calista determined to kill Sterling and there was no turning back, he had ignited the explosives on his own body.
At the critical moment, Calista was the first to notice. She moved as fast as she could. Just as the person was about to embrace Jarrett in a suicide attack, she fiercely kicked him away. Holding Jarrett, they fell and rolled toward a nearby cave.
Amidst the loud noise, someone had died, and some were injured.
Due to his distance from the epicenter, Sterling was unaffected by the chaos. Amidst the earthâshaking turmoil, he saw the person who had grabbed him was still intent on killing him. Using all his strength, he broke free and made a dash for the laboratory behind him.

âDonât go. Heâs infected with the virus, and itâs a death sentence. Donât follow him to his doom!â
âBut thereâs a fork in the road over there, perhaps thereâs a way out. What if heâs infected and spreads the disease to others upon his escape?â
âEither way, leahron is already in lockdown. There is no way he can escape!â
Amidst the chaos, someone cried out, âQuick, we need help! Mr. Jarrett and Ms. Calista are trapped in the cave!â
Jarrett coughed a few times. When he felt the warmth of blood splattering onto his body, he quickly realized it wasnât his own. Instead, it wasâ¦
Calista?â
He reached out and felt a damp warmth with his hand. He tried to sit up but was pinned down tightly. Calista had shielded him from most of the falling rocks. As a result, she was injured.
âWhyâ¦â Jarrett was somewhat dumbfounded, he had never imagined that the one to rescue him in the end would be Calista.
âDonât⦠move!â
Calista struggled to utter a few words. At that moment, their combined space was less than a cubic meter. It was a good thing they were both thin. Otherwise, they wouldnât even have room to breathe.
Jarrett was filled with turmoil. âYou⦠d*mn it! Why did you have to come and save me?â
Calista found his reaction strange. When the man from earlier tried to commit a suicide attack, he had tried to take Jarrett down with him. If it hadnât been for her intervention, Jarrett would have been killed in the explosion. Therefore, she didnât understand why he was blaming her for saving him.
âDo you⦠wish to die?â
Outside, a group of people were laboriously moving stones, unsure of when they would finish. Suddenly, a group of people burst in, causing everyone to become alert. Nevertheless, Leviâs voice was heard calling out, âQuintus?â
After he finished speaking, he gasped in surprise. âCould it be that Mr. Kallum has arrived?â
Now, everything is completely ruined!
Originally, Kallum had no intentions of entering, but upon hearing the sound of an explosion, an inexplicable anxiety overcame him. Ignoring all attempts to stop him, he barged in without reservations.
The crowd parted, and Kallum, dressed in all black, strode forward. The gruesome scene inside the cave caused a solemn aura to envelop him. The intensity of his burning gaze was enough to sear anyone he looked at.
âWhereâs is she?â
Kallum hadnât seen Calista, and he already had a sinking feeling in his heart.
At that moment, Leviâs trembling finger pointed toward the shutâin cave as she stuttered in fear for the very first time.

âShe⦠sheâs inside.â
Calista could feel that her injuries were severe. In such a place, there was no way to administer acupuncture, so she could only wait for someone to come to her rescue.
And so, she lay weakly on Jarrett, readying to close her eyes to rest.
However, Jarrett was in a panic. If she fell asleep with such severe injuries, there was a high chance she wouldnât wake up again.
âCalista, how are you doing? Donât fall asleep on me now!â
Calista felt as if she was about to cough up blood when he gently shook her. The sound of Jarrettâs voice ringing in her ears made her head start to throb with pain.
âDonât speak⦠Itâs noisy!â
Upon seeing that Calista was still able to endure the pain, Jarrett managed to steady his emotions. However, his expression quickly became complicated again.
âWhy⦠why did you save me?â
This was something he just couldnât wrap his head around. In his eyes, Calista was not the kind of person who would go out of her way to help others. Why on earth did she risk herself to save me? This isnât like her at all!
Calista merely hummed in response, not uttering a single word. After all, it was she who had brought Jarrett over, and his assistance had been invaluable. She would never allow him to get hurt or die thereâit
was a matter of principle.
