As her body was falling, she acted fast and swiftly grabbed onto a protruding rock on the cliff. At the moment, even though her body was hanging mid-air, i t was at least safe from falling.
She kept her balance and never looked down. Using her instincts, she started finding steps with her feet until she could finally step into a concave spot. She was still gasping for breath, her heart about to bounce out of her chest.
Summer did not have the courage to look down as she was afraid of heights. This was the furthest her courage could bring her, as she had already used up all the bravery she had left in her body.
At that moment, a sharp scream echoed. Summer lifted her head and saw Raine falling downwards above her.
Summer gritted her teeth. Out of natural reflexes, she had one arm on the rock and promptly reached out her other hand to grab Raine's wrist.
Fortunately, Raine's wrist was slim. She could hold it with just one hand, or else...
But, she could barely keep her balance when she had two hands on the rock. With Raine being there, she could only support herself with one hand. It was even more tiring and difficult for her, but she persisted
with her teeth grinding against each other.
However, when Raine saw Summer, she let out all her hatred and humiliation as she burst, "Let go! I don’t need you to save me!"
Summer couldn’t speak as she continued to clench her teeth, causing her lips to bleed. She was doing everything she could to keep them both alive.
If she spoke, she would relax. And if she relaxed, she wouldn’t have the strength to hang on anymore!
"Let me go! I don't want to be saved by you; I don't need you to act like a saint here. You were just wishing so hard back there that I would get rap*d, and now you're all kind and doing this for me, Summer Hart, are you not disgusted by yourself?"
What she had been through on the cliff was something she, Raine Valentine, would never forget about!
