“I don’t care what tricks you’re playing, but since you’ve decided to involve me, you should pay the price!. From now on, it would be best if our families ceased contact.”
Kallum’s words had left Horatio looking rather displeased. Many people had started to sense a different undercurrent. Yes, why had the Ingram family arranged an engagement for their precious son with a lunatic? The banquet that day seemed to have been planned with ulterior motives.
At this moment, Horatio was surprised that Kallum remained completely unruffled. If Harvey were to die, it wouldn’t be unjust at all.
Seeing Kallum determined to confront him, he pleaded anxiously, “Mr. Kallum, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean it like that…”
At that moment, a flustered butler rushed over, exclaiming loudly, “Something terrible has happened, Mr. Ingram! Earlier, when we tried to stop Ms. Quincy, she accidentally cut someone’s arm with the wine bottle she was wielding at Mr. Kallum. Now, that person has developed a fever!”
How could this be? Calista was sure of it. The half bottle of wine that Quincy had taken away didn’t contain any of Kallum’s blood. In other words, Horatio had indeed come for Kallum today.
But why? Their families had a close relationship. The Ingram family had only reached their current status due to the support of the Fairchild family. Why would he do such a thing?
Many people, unaware of the real situation, subconsciously took a step back from Kallum after finding out the truth.
Wait a minute. Wasn’t the matter of Kallum falling ill already clarified? How did something like this still happen?
Kallum couldn’t figure it out. What was Horatio’s motive? Wasn’t his actions akin to shooting himself in the
foot?
In the presence of so many people. Horatio didn’t even bother to put on a pretense. Instead, he scolded. with a feigned innocence, “What on earth are you talking about?”
Suddenly, he pulled out a testing device from his pocket. Pointing at the bloodstain on the ground, he said, “Look, this is Mr. Kallum’s blood right here on the ground. I’ll test it for you right now!”
No sooner had he stepped forward than Kallum had grabbed him by the collar.
“Horatio, what are you implying?”
Kallum lowered his voice, his tone grim. “What are you scheming? What do you want from me?”
After being pulled up, Horatio stopped those who wanted to rush forward to save him, lowering his voice as he spoke with a smile.
“Mr. Kallum, you seem quite agitated. I’m merely trying to dispel everyone’s doubts. After all, those who are here today are all friends and honored guests. But you’re obstructing me, Mr. Kallum. Is there something secretive you wouldn’t want to share?”
“State your intentions,” Kallum said.

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what they were up to. What was once a pleasant banquet had now turned into a complete mess, leaving a sense of unease among the crowd.
At this critical moment, Horatio suddenly dropped a bombshell.
“Truthfully, I didn’t want this either, Mr. Kallum. Do you know? I’ve been diagnosed with cancer!”
Horatio’s words took Kallum aback, causing him to furrow his brows immediately.
The tension in Horatio’s body began to ease, his voice growing softer. “There’s something wrong with my heart. I could die at any moment if I don’t find a suitable heart. But my genes are unique. I don’t know when I’ll be able to find one. Maybe one day, I’ll fall asleep and never wake up. All the hard–earned success I’ve achieved. I might have to hand it over for others to enjoy. So, over the past year, while I was searching for the source of the heart, I kept my eyes on you. I watched the Wolford and Murray families frantically scramble, and I noticed the extraordinary aspects of your Fairchild family. I was the one who sent your distant cousin to collect your blood sample and secretly released the researcher, Wayne. Therefore, I can confirm! You are definitely the infected one!”
His voice was barely a whisper, yet his eyes shone brightly. That was because, to him, seeing Kallumn was akin to seeing a beacon of hope in life.
Kallum stepped back, but he was caught by the hand. “You, a K Virus carrier, a man destined to live no more than a month, have survived until now. So, the one who has kept you alive must also be able to keep me alive!”
Horatio looked somewhat frenzied as he spoke rapidly. “I bet prolonging life must harm that person’s health. Otherwise, they would have been famous long ago. They must also be someone very important to you. If not, you wouldn’t keep it so hidden. I had no choice but to resort to such a scheme! As long as you hand them over, I can assure everyone that what just happened was merely a misunderstanding. Otherwise, you’ll die with me! I’m curious to see, under the watchful eyes of the public, how you intend to stop me. Speak! Who is that person?”
“Heh…”
Kallum’s gaze gradually turned icy.
“If you want to know, then go ask the Grim Reaper!”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly threw a fierce punch and knocked Horatio to the ground.
“Dad!”
“Mr. Ingram!” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
A crowd had gathered around, yet, without losing a moment, Kallum had seized Calista’s hand.
“Let’s go!”
Calista was pulled forward by him as they ran.
“Stop them!”
The negotiations had fallen apart. Knowing full well that his future was uncertain, would Horatio really allow Kallum to walk away unscathed?
