Hearing what Calista said, Isaac immediately scolded Quincy, “What are you doing? Get up. I brought you here to ask for help, not to start a crying fit.”
Quincy was furious but dared not to express it. She quickly got up, standing behind Isaac like a submissive wife, her demeanor filled with a sense of grievance.
Kallum recognized Isaac and whispered in Calista’s car, “This guy made his fortune in the lottery business. He has some money, but most of his assets are abroad.” After all, Chanaea had strict controls in this area, unlike other countries.
Calista nodded because she knew who Isaac was.
Before she could speak, Isaac addressed her, “You must be Ms. Calista. Indeed, you are as young and beautiful as they say. People outside call you a genius beauty, but I think ‘beauty‘ doesn’t do you justice. You are a true angel.”
Calista remained unmoved, showing no hint of pleasure from the flattery. She asked coolly, “You brought Quincy here to seek medical help from me?”
What Calista didn’t realize was that Benedict had grown a bit smarter. Without Quincy kneeling in front, they might not have even been let into the Stafford residence.
“Yes,” Isaac replied with a wry smile. “I had no other choice but to resort to desperate measures.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Calista glanced at his son and shook her head.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help your son.”
Isaac’s face changed slightly. She hasn’t even looked closely and already said she couldn’t help? This is clearly a refusal.
But Isaac was an old hand at this and quickly put on a pleading face again. “My son’s condition is indeed complicated. I’ve sought countless doctors and spent a lot of money, but nothing has worked. Desperate, I had to turn to you. Please, have pity on us as parents. Just take a look at him. You don’t have to cure him, just do your best. Please.”
Calista frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. She spoke directly, “Your son has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, one of the world’s five major incurable diseases. Since it’s incurable, why come to me for help? How can I cure him?”
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as the “clear–minded vegetative state,” was a condition even many countries couldn’t handle. What made him think she could?
Upon hearing her words, Isaac couldn’t help but become emotional.
“Ms. Calista, you’re too modest. After the K Virus emerged, even the top five incurable diseases ranked below it, yet you conquered it. Others might fail, but I believe you can do it. Why not give it a try? If you succeed, your brilliance will be/unmatched.”
Calista gave a strange smile. Indeed, she could. To others, this disease was incurable, but for her, it was relatively easy to treat. With frequent acupuncture to maintain nerve activity and medication, it could be cured.

Bat high–frequency acupuncture would take a significant toll on her, and Devon wasn’t worth such a Sacrifice.
In her previous life, Quincy had boasted about Calista’s achievements and deceived many, including Isaac.
incy had secretly asked Calista to treat Devon. Initially, she refused, but many people vouched for evon’s character, calling him a great philanthropist. Even her father was persuaded, urging her
peatedly until she agreed to treat him.
That treatment nearly cost her half her life. But after seeing her effectiveness, Quincy started seeing her in a different light.
Quincy had initially thought Calista could only alleviate symptoms, but when she fully cured him, Quincy realized Calista’s value was far greater than imagined.
Quincy then leveraged the life–saving favor to gain substantial benefits from the Wolford family. Calista had grown accustomed to this, but what she couldn’t accept was that Devon was a notorious scoundrel. He had harmed many girls abroad, and when he fell ill, countless people rejoiced. However, she, in her narvery, had saved someone unworthy.
Reflecting on the evil deeds Devon committed after his recovery filled Calista with regret. But now, given a second chance, she wouldn’t save such a scumbag again.
She stepped aside. Pointing toward the door, she firmly said, “You’re flattering me. Conquering the K Virus was sheer luck. For other incurable diseases, I’m powerless. You’ve wasted your trip today.”
Unwilling to give up, Isaac protested, “How can that be? Quincy told me your family’s ancestral acupuncture technique is highly effective in stimulating nerves. Why not give it a try?”
Seeing how thoroughly he had done her homework, Calista realized Quincy must have gone to great lengths to impress Isaac.
Calista sneered, finally speaking the truth. “Why should I try? ALS typically affects older people, but your young son has it, likely due to prolonged excitement and excessive stimulant use. Given his past actions… I think he deserves it.”
