Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 515 As Cold As Ever 

Finished 

The phone rang over and over. Half–conscious, Calista found the ringing incredibly annoying, disturbing- her and making her acutely aware that she was on the brink of suffocation. The feeling was excruciating. 

At that moment, four planes flew overhead. They were carrying something enormous beneath them, and the roaring sound echoed across the sky. 

Earlier, in addition to digging, some people had been cutting down trees to clear a space. Now, the large excavators had finally arrived. Though it would take some time to set up, everyone saw hope upon seeing 

1. it. 

Even Kallum seemed to come back to life, more excited than ever before. 

He quickly typed: Callie. Did you hear that? The machinery is here. I can rescue you soon. Just hold on a little longer, I promise, just a little longer. 

The lack of response made Kallum’s heart sink again. He could barely hold onto the phone with both. hands as he told her: I’ll call you. If you’re there, please hang up. 

Everyone around him sprung into action, taking up their tools and surveying the surroundings. They all worked tirelessly, for they knew that the girl below was on the brink of collapse. 

In this situation, Kallum pressed the call button with all his hopes pinned on it. 

The phone rang once, twice, the “beep” sound seeming to stretch out infinitely, making Kallum hold his breath. Finally, on the fourth ring, the call was cut off. His eyes lit up with joy. She’s still there. She’s still alive. 

He handed the phone to Ryder, cherishing it as if it were a precious treasure. 

“Call her every two minutes and make sure she hangs up every time.” 

With that, he threw himself into the bustling efforts. The machinery was set up, and after measuring the depth with the life detector, a half–meter–wide drill began boring straight down from the initial 

excavation. 

Mud splattered everywhere, and the roaring sound was exhilarating. 

No one had expected such a massive machine to be brought in. With it, Calista would surely be saved. 

But then Ryder suddenly shouted in panic, “Mr. Kallum! She didn’t end the call.” 

At that moment, Kallum was directing people to drag the cables. After he heard Ryder’s words, his expression changed. 

“Call her again!” 

A moment later, Ryder said with a mournful face, “She still hasn’t hung up.” 

Kallum was in a race against time with death itself. 

I won’t lose, nor will I accept defeat. I’ll get what I want. No one can take away the woman I want to save. No one.

As soon as the drill emerged, Kallum tied a rope around himself and went down without a second thought. 

The half–meter space was too narrow. He got several scrapes on the way down, but it didn’t matter. None of that mattered. 

Below, there was indeed a small space of about one to two meters, now partially filled with the earth that 

had fallen from above. 

Hearing the phone ring, Kallum reached through the mud and water to grasp her hand, still clutching the phone tightly. 

Calista was cold, covered in mud, looking almost like a corpse. Hot tears fell on her face, but she didn’t react at all. 

Kallum hugged her tightly to confirm she was still there, then quickly tied the rope around her. He tugged on the rope, and the people above slowly pulled her up. 

Kallum looked at the cramped, airless, pitch–dark space. It was suffocatingly oppressive. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He couldn’t imagine how Calista had endured an hour here. 

His feet soaked in the cold muddy water. Just as she described, it was the most brutal torture. 

The rope came down again. Kallum quickly climbed up. Meanwhile, they were already using hot water to clean her face, clear the mud from her nose and mouth, wrapping her in blankets, and using giant heat lamps to warm her. The drizzle glistened in the warm red light. It wasn’t raining heavily anymore, and she was still there. 

Kallum didn’t interfere with the medical team’s efforts, even though he wanted to hold her in his arms. She was in shock. Every second mattered as she could be taken by death at any moment. 

Holding her cold hand, Kallum rubbed it over and over, but it remained as cold as ever. 

Because of the suffocation, Calista had swallowed a lot of mud, making the rescue even harder. To help her breathe, the medics had to cut a small incision in her neck and insert a tube into her trachea to assist her breathing. 

Even with their skilled hands, tiny droplets of blood still trickled down, making her washed–out face look even paler, almost lifeless. 

Kallum choked back sobs. Holding her hand, he closed his tear–filled eyes and kissed her trembling fingertips. 

He said, word by word, “You always said I was lucky, that I was favored by fate, getting everything I wanted. If I am truly so lucky, if the heavens really favors me, then you will wake up. The only thing I want for the rest of my life is you.” 

As the mud was gradually cleared away, she still didn’t open her eyes, Just when all the medical staff were about to give up, Calista’s hand, held by Kallum, suddenly moved.
