Chapter 120 The Perfect Opportunity 

D 

Upon hearing this, Silas was momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his composure, his expression growing even more somber. “Young lady, who gave you the audacity to brag so shamelessly?” 

The K virus was a global conundrum. Numerous experts had been left stumped by it. How can Calista possibly do anything about it? She’s only eighteen! 

Calista brushed away the non–existent dust from the hem of her skirt and chuckled lightly. “People infected with the K Virus would immediately develop a fever lasting three days. If they didn’t die within that time, they would gradually experience brain atrophy, leading to paralysis of their limbs. Some individuals would even suffer from skin decay. The complications varied greatly depending on the individual’s constitution, but they all shared one grim characteristic–none of them survived beyond a month. 

Silas remained silent upon realizing that Calista was well–versed in the K Virus. 

Calista spoke again. “Whether I’m of any use depends on if I can prolong Kallum’s life. If I can’t, it won’t be too late for you to kill me. But if I can, I might be the only person in the world who can fully cure him. So why not let me try?” 

Upon reflection, Silas realized that things couldn’t possibly get any worse than they already were. They had nothing more to lose. 

Moreover, Shaun had mentioned that Kallum had less than a week to live. All he needed was to keep Calista around for a week, and he would naturally find out whether she was lying or not. 

“If you agree, I’m willing to stay until I gain your trust,” Calista suggested at the right moment. 

Her calmness kindled a sudden hope in Silas. After all, if she’s not sure, she wouldn’t have gambled with her life. 

“What do you want then?” asked Silas. 

Silas was well aware that the K Virus was not easy to conquer. Calista had only mentioned prolonging Kallum’s life, not curing him. Therefore, her request probably wasn’t to marry his son. 

Calista smiled with determination in her gaze as she declared. “If I could extend his lifespan and alleviate 

like his condition, I want you and the Fairchild family to accept me as your goddaughter, treating me your 

own. 

Silas widened his eyes as wrath surged in him. This girl is so ambitious! She’s after the Fairchild family’s assets! She might have a method to prolong Kallum’s life, but that’s likely just a gimmick. Her real aim is to become the Fairchild family’s goddaughter! Once Kallum is gone, her status will soar to new heights. If that’s the case, she might not even want Kallum to live! 

The tension in the air became palpable, the pressure mounting with each passing moment. Sensing Silas‘ thoughts, Calista spoke before he could. “We can establish an agreement. You would publicly acknowledge me as your goddaughter, but I wouldn’t have any inheritance rights to the Fairchild family wealth. I’ve offended some powerful people/and need the Fairchild family’s protection, that’s all. If Kallum were to die, our contract would be null and void, and I’d be at the Fairchild family’s mercy. But as long as Kallum lives, the Fairchild family would protect me. This arrangement wouldn’t harm your family. After all, I wouldn’t gamble with my own life.”

Chapter 120 The Perfect Opportunity 

Right then, Calista dropped another bombshell. “By the way, I was the one who conquered Influenza T. Since I was able to do that, do you think there’s anyone else in this world more qualified to treat Kallum than me?” 

She held her head high, an air of confidence radiating from within her, making her appear assertive. 

Tilting her chin slightly upward, even her smile looked intimidating. 

Silas had to be admit he was convinced. He never expected this girl to be the one who conquered the 

influenza in Lostaria, 

Calista had no reason to lie, for it would have been easily exposed. She came because she had the capability. Since that was the case, he was willing to take the risk and give her a chance. 

“All right. I agree to this deal, In fact, Kallum only has a week left to live…” As soon as Silas said that, the assassin behind Calista silently left. He let out a sigh and went on, “I’m not sure what happened. Everything was fine before this, but yesterday, Kallum suddenly fell ill. He had a month left to live before his illness flared up, but now he only has a week. Are you still confident?” 

Hearing that, Calista narrowed her eyes and smiled. “In that case, it’s the perfect opportunity for me to show you what I can do.”

Kallum waited anxiously in his room, wondering why Calista had come. Why did she go straight to meet Dad? Could she have come to officially call off the engagement? This is the only possibility. 

A wry smile played at the corners of Kallum’s lips. Well, this is, in fact, what I want. 

He thought that Calista would leave as soon as she met Silas, but surprisingly, she came to see him. 

The door swung open. Although Kallum knew that Calista was coming, the moment he laid eyes on her, he instinctively held his breath. 

If the past Calista was like a rose with thorns all over, the current Calista seemed more like a sword. Her gaze itself was sharp and piercing. 

Compared to Mirabelle, who gave off an aura of grace and pure beauty when wearing a white dress, Calista looked extremely ruthless and cold in a white dress, striking such fear in one’s heart that not even the faint smile on her face exuded any warmth whatsoever. It was uncanny how the same color could look so different on two women. 

The two looked at each other wordlessly. Suddenly, Calista cocked her head, staring at him curiously.
