Chapter 203 Give Someone Else A Chance
At that moment, the satellite phone Calista was carrying rang
“My hand is stuck. Can you help me get it out?” Calista requested, assuming it was a call from those
outside.
“Where is it?”
“Below the waist.”
At that moment, Jarrett’s emotions were complex. In the darkness, his sight failed him, intensifying his other senses. This was his first time being this close to a woman he was fond of. Yet, he knew he could never voice his feelings. It was already pitiful enough to harbor affection for a woman whose heart did not belong to him. To confess would be nothing short of humiliating himself.
So, he steadied his mind, reaching down. Since his hand was obstructed by the stone next to him, he had no choice but to slide his hand downward, following the contour of their bodies pressed together.
Luckily, he managed to find Calista’s phone without much trouble. However, retrieving it was a bit of a struggle due to its large size.
“It seems to be stuck.”
Calista shifted slightly, and as she did, she accidentally pressed down on Jarrett’s hand, which instantly hit the answer button.
“Try moving again, will you?” Calista’s voice clearly echoed from Levi’s phone. Levi glanced at Kallum, seemingly gripped by panic.
“It’s stuck. It’s too tight.”
Struggling for breath, Jarrett’s breathless words resonated to those outside, sounding nothing short of a suggestive scene.
Good heavens! What are the two of them doing inside? Where are they stuck at? What is it that’s stuck?
Due to Jarrett’s reckless movements, he touched Calista’s wound by accident, causing her to draw a sharp
breath.
“Stop moving, it hurts,” she said.
“Just bear with it. It’ll be over soon.” Jarrett’s voice was slightly hoarse. His hand inadvertently brushed against places it shouldn’t, and he was not someone without emotions. She was the woman he loved, and it was impossible for him not to be aroused.
Kallum’s face turned green in jealousy. He couldn’t take it anymore, and in a swift move, he snatched. Levi’s mobile phone out of his hands.
“What are you guys doing?”
The two halted their actions/Calista turned to Jarrett and asked, “Did you press the answer button by
accident?”

Meanwhile, it seemed as if Kallum’s fury could burn through the phone itself.
“Damn it! Jarrett, I dare you to lay a finger on her!”
Although he was quite certain that nothing would happen in such a situation, the mere thought of Jarrett touching any part of Calista’s body was something that Kallum found utterly unacceptable.
Upon hearing this, Jarrett lost his temper. Suddenly, with a swift motion, he pulled out the satellite phone. With a mischievous grin, he said, “Lay a finger on her? No, she’s entirely in my arms right now. You better be cautious when you’re moving the rocks because she selflessly threw herself on top of me to save me. If you’re careless, I’ll be fine, but I can’t say the same for her.”
After he finished speaking, he abruptly ended the call. Despite being separated by stone, one could feel his anger seemingly burning through it.
Calista rolled her eyes. “You’re so childish.”
With a huff, Jarrett found himself with a rare moment alone with Calista. Yet, here was Kallum, intruding on their private moment. Wasn’t it said that Kallum had disappeared from public for almost a year? Why can’t he just stay put at home?
Calista didn’t overthink it. She gently touched the wound on her back, drawing in a soft breath.
“Are you alright?” Jarrett’s attention was instantly drawn back. If Calista could see him, she would know just how much Jarrett cared for her.
She grumbled, “If you weren’t so stiff all over, I would be okay.”
She then shifted out of discomfort. “Your satellite phone is digging into me.”
Upon hearing those words, Jarrett’s body tensed up even more. My… My phone is in my hand; what she is feeling isn’t the phone….
Feeling restless and anxious, he held her in his arms. He knew he shouldn’t, yet Jarrett hoped that they wouldn’t be rescued so soon.
Upon hearing noises from outside, they knew it was likely Kallum’s men bringing in equipment to get them out. The rescuers‘ movements were much more cautious than before, presumably because they knew that Calista was trapped and didn’t dare to act recklessly,
The pair were buried rather deeply. If it wasn’t for a large stone that had fallen, creating a triangular space, they would have been killed either by the bomb blast or crushed to death by the rocks.
“Calista, if you were to die here, would you regret coming to save me?”
In the darkness, Jarrett suddenly held her close and asked a question. His voice was laced with an anticipation he himself didn’t fully understand.
Calista found his question rather peculiar. “You’re not going to die… and neither will 1.”
“What if, though?”
“There is no ‘what if”
“Do you realize?” Jarrett suddenly smirked. “The wa you’re
you’re
acting could easily lead to misunderstandings.

People might think you’ve fallen in love with me, to the point where you’re willing to risk your life to save
Calista chuckled lightly, but the pain from her wound flared up with the action, causing her to furrow her
brows,
“Fancy you? I’d rather fancy your younger brother, at least he appears far more charming than you.”
Upon detecting the faint scent of blood mingled with a chilling fragrance on her, Jarrett inhaled deeply. his eyes narrowing as if he were intoxicated by it.
“Liking me won’t get you pregnant. I’ve said it before, try stepping away from Kallum, and give someone else a chance. You might be pleasantly surprised.”
“For instance, you?”
“For instance, me.”
