Chapter 510
“I’ll pull her up!” Alyssa cried. “I’m lightweight, so it should be safe enough!”
There was no other choice right now.
“You can’t!” Elias cried, shaking his head. “I promised Mr. Forrest I would keep you safe!
Let me go save
her!”
His team cried, “You know the rock won’t hold your weight, sir!”
“I’m not some prissy little miss, Mr. Parker. I’m a qualified park ranger, just like you! Now
stay there and let
me save her!”
Alyssa then hooked a latch around the safety rope around her waist and slowly climbed
toward the
injured hiker.
Unfortunately for her, the rain only added to the smoothness of the mountain’s rocky
surface, making
climbing even more difficult.
“I’m here! You’re safe!”
Finally, Alyssa reached the injured hiker, quickly grabbing her by the waist.

“My leg… It won’t move…” The woman’s face was covered in rainwater and tears. She
was so weak and
limp that she could barely speak.
Alyssa could instantly tell that her leg had fractured. She hurriedly tied the safety rope
around the
woman’s waist.
At that moment, the ground beneath them started to tremble and disintegrate.
“Shit! The rock’s coming apart! Hurry and get them back up!” Elias cried, pulling on the
rope with the rest of his team.
Yet, no matter how hard they tried, the slippery ground beneath their surfaces only made
them slip forward even more.
“We need to hurry, sir!”
“We can’t hold on much more!”
“We can only save one of them, Mr. Parker! We need to leave quickly!”
The landslide had already begun, rock and soil falling in great clumps down by their feet
and past the

Elias used all his strength, a cry tearing from his lips as he and his team pulled with all
their might.
Finally, they managed to rescue someone.
“Mr. Parker, the hiker has made it! She’s alive!”
“But Ms. Alice isn’t here, sir!”
Elias’ breathing caught at the realization that Alyssa hadn’t been pulled up. His vision
swam, turning dark
in an instant.
The team had to return the injured hiker to the base camp to treat her injuries.
“Half of you take the hiker back. The rest of you come with me! We need to find Ms.
Alice!” Elias cried.”
Dispatch the search and rescue team right now! We need backup!”
“Mr. Parker, could she have been washed away by the rubble?”
“What if… What if she fell down the cliff?”
The team stood there dejectedly, not an ounce of hope in their chests.
“Don’t you dare spout nonsense like that! Ms. Alice is safe and sound, waiting for us to
rescue her right
now!” Elias yelled. Still, he had to bite his cheek to keep the tears from falling.
He had lost a teammate to one of these accursed landslides three years ago, so he knew
just how much
danger Alyssa was in, bravado or not.
“Look there, sir!” someone called out.

right up to them.
“Mr. Jasper?”
“It really is him!”
Jasper’s face was pale. He was drenched in rainwater, but his gaze remained steely and
determined.
“Where’s Alice?” He nearly barked out.
“She… was swept away in a landslide while saving a lost hiker. We don’t know if she’s safe
or in danger right now,” Elias bit out. There was no use hiding the truth right now.

Jasper seemed to grow even paler. Pain tore at his heart in an instant.
“No. She can’t be. She’s going to be okay!” Jasper growled madly.
Alyssa still owed him answers. She hadn’t gotten her revenge on him, and he hadn’t made
things up to her
yet for all the pain and suffering he caused her. So she couldn’t be dead. He wouldn’t
allow it.
Wait for me, Alyssa!
With that burning thought in mind, Jasper turned and ran back into the torrential rain,
heading for the
mountain trail.
