Chapter 1273Chapter 1273
Though the cave was warmer than the frozen wasteland outside, she was still shivering with cold.
Stella found some dry branches and tried to start a fire, but she was running low on resources.
Stella took a look at the snowstorm outside and let off a flare. She had set off a few along the way, but no
one had found her.
Stella observed the surroundings and calculated that she could still last another night.
After some time, however, she suddenly felt something moving outside and was immediately alerted.
Stella heard about the possibility of encountering wild animals in the mountains at night. Could it be a
wolf or something?
Stella’s heart pounded anxiously at that thought. She grabbed the wooden stick, wanting to explore
outside.
At the same time, the snow above the cave suddenly collapses. The rocks and soil were falling inside.
The blizzard outside was getting worse. Seeing that the cave entrance was about to be blocked, she had
no choice but to force herself to crawl out.
Stuck, she tried to crawl her way out when she suddenly met a pair of green eyes that shocked her to the
core. She was about to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth. After a long silence, she finally put
down her trembling hands. Then, she heard a familiar, hoarse voice.
“It’s me… Stella…”
Stella froze and held her breath. She looked back to see Weston, who appeared at some point. Weston, wearing the same professional ski clothes as Stella, was fully covered in snow. He looked
straight at her with his deep eyes.
He shoveled the snow away from the outside and walked straight to her, then grabbed her by her arms
and lifted her out of the cave.
Stella grabbed onto Weston’s shoulder. With his help, she could finally get out to safety.
Weston patted the snow on her body and was a little nervous about her condition. He embraced her in
his arms after he made sure she was unharmed.
Stella was still a little breathless. The hot breath that she exhaled turned into a white mist that lingered in
the air. The two just hugged each other quietly for a while.
After a short silence, Weston pushed her away and looked her in the eyes. “How many times have I told
you? Don’t
go to dangerous places like this! You always take my words for granted!”
Stella was still panting and a little dazed. She frowned a little at his reprimand and said nothing.
Weston knew it was pointless lecturing her in times like these. He could only suppress his anger and
said, “I’ll take you out first.”
He held Stella’s hand. Seeing that, Stella held his hand anyway. The two wanted to follow the original
road back, only to find that the road was blocked.
It was snowing too heavily. Soon, the sky was dark again. The visibility in the snow was so low. Stella
shook her head, feeling a little dizzy from the reflective snow.
Weston stopped walking and glanced at her. “Are you feeling unwell?” Stella knew that if she said she was not feeling well,
Weston would stop again, which would be nothing but a waste of time. Thus, she braced herself, saying,
“I’m fine. We should hurry…”
The light that reflected off the snow was so strong that it burned her eyes, and she could barely see the
road in front of her. Then, she suddenly let go of Weston’s hand.
“Stella!” Weston’s heart jumped in fear. When he looked back, he saw Stella falling into the endless pile
of snow. His eyes turned red instantly.
Weston turned back to her and urged, “Stella, take my hand!”
