Calista closed her eyes, feeling a sharp pain coursing through her body. This familiar sensation brought a slight smile to her lips.
“Not only have I awoken, but I also have some good news to announce.”
Her voice was hoarse, but her eyes had regained their clarity. She took a moment to gather her senses.
“Hmm… Yes, that’s the sensation. Was it a blend of serums No. 1, No. 4, and No. 9 that was injected into me previously? The dosage and ratio were a bit off, but that’s definitely it!
A gleam of delight flashed in Shaun’s eyes.
“So you’re saying…
Calista’s lips curled up slightly. “Exactly what you’re thinking. I believe we’ll soon be done with the second phase!”
As soon as Calista finished speaking, the researchers erupted into cheers.
During this period, even though they weren’t the ones suffering, seeing Calista in distress made them feel deeply upset. The laboratory always seemed to be enveloped in an unshakeable gloom, one that was suffocating, But now, they had finally survived the most challenging period.
“This is a cause for celebration! After more than a month, I can finally get a good night’s sleep.”
When everyone was asleep at night, they were haunted by Calista’s suppressed screams. It was nothing short of a torment of the body and mind.
However, Kallum found no joy as he stared at his empty hands. He wasn’t sure if he was just being oversensitive, but since Calista had woken up, she hadn’t given him a single glance.
Kallum felt he might have overreacted and guessed that Calista was just eager to share the good news. Thus, he knew he shouldn’t have been so sensitive.
Following that, Calista, after taking a few doses of medicine, didn’t dare to rest for even a moment and immediately began conversing with her fellow researchers rapidly.
At this stage, it would take some time to fully conquer the situation. Even if they were successful in the second phase, they couldn’t let the news leak. After all, not everyone possessed the same level of endurance as Calista. There was a fear that others might be tormented to death.
Hence, the research still had to continue.
Once they were done for the day, if was already past one in the morning. Only then did everyone notice that Kallum had been patiently waiting by the side the whole time.
They suddenly had a peculiar feeling when they realized that for the past few hours, Calista had not exchanged a single word with him.
Shaun said, “Everyone’s exhausted today, so head off to rest now. We’re meeting at five in the morning, which gives you less than four hours to rest.”

the experiment, and it was completely normal to be asked to stay on for twenty–four hours. The only reason there were breaks was out of concern that Calista might not be able to handle it. After all, she was the most authoritative figure and the one who suffered the most among them. Moreover, she never missed a day of work.
Only then did Calista nod, dismissing everyone with a wave of her hand.
She rubbed her forehead, a simple action that made her feel as if her arm muscles were on the brink of tearing apart. The pain was simply unbearable.
Compared to the pain she had experienced before, it was her current emotions that filled her with. satisfaction.
“Alright then, see you tomorrow.”
After speaking, she took a few steps toward the door. Then, as if she remembered something, she turned back to look at Kallum.
Everyone had the good sense to leave first, sensing that Kallum truly cared for Calista. Also, her feelings for Kallum were undeniable. They were usually so in love that it was baffling how they could have a sudden disagreement that day.
“Are you not leaving?” The deep exhaustion in Calista’s voice was palpable. In her current state, even if Kallum harbored a multitude of grievances, he couldn’t bring himself to vent them.
He rose silently and offered her a slight smile. “Alright, let’s head back,” he suggested. “I’ll have Judy cook something for you. You look rather weak.”
Calista nodded, taking the lead as she moved ahead.
Her demeanor was not much different from usual, but somehow, Kallum could sense a profound barrier between them.
In the past, Calista was unassuming. She didn’t show any signs of aggression when there was no danger. Instead, she would exude a languid aura.
But now, even her silence seemed to repel others. Her transformation left Kallum feeling both anxious and slightly panicked. What did she dream about? What could have caused such a drastic change? Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Kallum struggled to convince himself that this was merely an illusion. He stepped forward to grasp Calista’s hand, but the moment his fingers brushed against her, Calista recoiled as if she had been. electrocuted. Her reaction caused Kallum’s heart to sink instantly, his expression turning grim.
“What’s wrong?
He suppressed his anger, striving to maintain a smile. Yet, his eyes held a judgmental gaze, unwaveringly fixed on her.
Within the icy corridors of the laboratory, Calista also realized that her emotions were somewhat off. Reason told her that Kallum hadn’t done anything wrong, and it was completely reasonable if he didn’t do anything for her.
Yet, there was a dark emotion roaring within her–Why didn’t you save me? Why didn’t you save me? Why didn’t you save me? Why!

The scream lingered hauntingly in her ears.

Suddenly, Calista’s eyes turned bloodshot. She had not experienced such rage in a long time. It was abnormal and was an unhealthy state of mind. Therefore, she knew she had to absolutely keep it in check.
Calista clenched her fist, then gradually loosened it, silently letting out a breath.
