Chapter 384
Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 384 That Is Unbelievably Risky
Sensing Calista’s hesitation, Kallum cast his gaze toward the darkness overhead. His voice was so soft as he said. “Don’t give me any of that nonsense about living well… I used to harbor a wicked thought, that if I were to die, could I possibly take you down with me? Isn’t it terrible of me to harbor such thoughts? You’ve been so supportive, yet here I am with these intentions. So now, to make things fair, if you die, I’ll join you. If you still want me to live, then take care of yourself.”
In the howling wind, Calista could barely make out his words. Yet, she felt such a profound ache in her chest, such a swelling sensation, as if something was on the verge of spilling out.
Once again, the fine sand slipped away, jolting Calista awake. She had no time for hesitation.
Taking a deep breath, she typed out a message and even added an emoji.
Calista: For the sake of your well–being. I have no choice but to stay alive begrudgingly.
Outside the radio station, many who saw her message couldn’t help but laugh through their tears. Meanwhile, Kallum’s lips curved slightly upward. His gaze was resolute as he looked up at the sky.
Bang!
The echo of a gunshot reverberated through the gorge, acting like a signal, stirring everyone into action.
“The measurements are in. Seventy meters to the southeast, at a height of one thousand seven hundred meters above ground!”
At last, her exact location was found.
It was determined that the quickest way to rescue her was from above, as the abundance of trees below It was determined that the quickest way to rescue he made it difficult to move around.
Kallum took immediate action. He boarded a helicopter and flew directly above the location where Calista was, ready to rescue her.
At that moment, Calista let out a soft gasp and crouched down. With the sound of her gunshot, the ledge she was on started to tremble non–stop, slowly sliding downward.
She reached out, desperate to grasp anything within her reach, but there was nothing, only stone upon stone. Even though she could hear something thundering overhead, she simply had no time left
Once she fell, it would mean certain death. She didn’t want to die. She couldn’t die.
The helicopter wobbled under the force of the wind. Quintus was about to jump down to rescue her, but he was stopped by Kallum.
“Let me!”
“Mr. Kallum…”
“Tie it on for me!”
Everyone was at a loss. They lowered a rope, and all they could do was secure a safety buckle onto Kallum.

prevent the situation.
“Mr. Kallum, we’ve already measured the height of the rope. Once you glide to the end of the rope, you’ll be able to see Ms. Stafford. You need to move slowly and steadily. Otherwise, in the strong wind, you might cause the helicopter to veer off course!”
With a stern face, Kallum secured his phone to his body, ready for any unforeseen circumstances. Before he took the leap, he uttered his final words through the radio. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Callie, look up. I’ve tied a searchlight to my hand. You won’t be able to see anything else. Just focus on the light and reach out toward me!“
I just have to reach out?
Amidst the rumbling of falling rocks, Calista heard the words of Kallum. Instinctively, she looked up to find the massive boulder she was on had already tilted at a forty–five–degree angle.
It would be too late. Even if Kallum was right above her, from the moment he spoke those words to the time he slid down, it would be absolutely too late.
Calista’s body began to tilt, and when she started to fall, she saw a glimmer of light approaching from afar.
Kallum completely disregarded Quintus‘ advice and leaped straight off the helicopter.
Sliding down certainly wouldn’t have given him enough time, but jumping down was sufficient.
At that moment, it was as if the wild wind had stilled, and the speed of her fall had paused. Calista watched as the speck of light grew closer and closer.
In a daze, she heard someone shouting.
“Callie! Jump!”
Calista leaped up abruptly. She couldn’t see anything before her eyes, only a speck of white light, ast dazzling as a star in the dark night. She reached out desperately toward that glimmer of light.
The massive boulder plummeted downward with a fierce intensity, causing a chorus of shocked gasps to ripple through the crowd. Amidst the chaos, Kallum firmly grasped her hand.
“I’ve got you!”
Calista thought she was dreaming until her right hand was tightly grasped.
It wasn’t until the helicopter was tipped off balance by their combined weight, and the rope was let out to its full length, that Kallum felt a clear snap from the hand he was holding. In a hurry, he swiftly grabbed her with his other hand.
“I’ve got you….”
Everyone outside the radio station was holding their breath in anticipation. When the words came through the phone that was tied to Kallum’s arm amidst the howling wind, countless people erupted in
cheers.
He caught her?
Chapter 384 That is Unbelievably Risky
How did he manage to catch her? Did he just leap down and grab her? That’s unbelievably risky!
Right then, an ominous sound of a collision came from Kallum’s phone.
The sudden weight of two individuals heavily skewed the course of the helicopter, causing the tail of the aircraft to carve out a large semi–circle in mid–air.
Those who had guessed the reason behind the commotion held their breath in anticipation of the final outcome. The viewership ratings for this moment were hitting record highs, but who really cared about that? Even the station manager, hearing the howling noises coming from Kallum’s end, felt her heart tighten in anxiety.
