Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 350 Shall We Talk

Since that day long ago, Rainey had vanished from her life completely. The apology Calista had always wanted to offer but never dared to, coupled with Rain's piercing words, "I hate you," had been buried deep within her memory, only to resurface now in a flood of emotion.

She found herself pondering the hesitant glance Rainey had given her when she had left back then. Had Rainey also harbored words left unsaid? Did she want to say something to Calista at that moment?

Noticing her pensive expression, Kallum queried softly, "Do you want to go in, or should I call Rainey out here?"

Calista shook her head slightly, her voice quiet. "Let's wait a bit, until she comes out."

They turned to find a nearby bench, but before they could take a step, the door behind them swung open. Rainey emerged, her eyes visibly red from crying. She had been on her way to work, yet the sight of Calista halted her in her tracks. "Is that you... Calista?"
