Stella saw nothing but blinding white. She also seemed not to hear a single word that Weston said.
As her vision blurred, her senses of the surrounding
deteriorated.
Weston moved the snow away and found where she had fallen. When he pulled her up, he realized
something was wrong with her. “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
Stella’s eyes were blank. She was looking ahead with an unfocused gaze. After a short silence, she
shook her head again.
“I’m fine. Let’s keep going.”

Weston frowned at her. When he was about to say something, he heard a sharp voice from the other
side.
“Sis!”
Stella turned in the direction of the voice incredulously, but she could not see anything but white. It was
not until a tall shadow appeared in front of her that she felt a familiar feeling come over her.
“Roger, is that you?”
Roger could not be bothered with his former identity as Miguel. He grabbed Stella’s hand at once. “It’s
me… Are
you alright?” His anxiousness was all over his face. It was as if the cold war between them that had broken out for a
few days never existed.
Weston stood aside and looked at the two with cold eyes. He asked plainly, “How did you get here?”
Roger finally returned to his senses and looked at the man ahead. “She’s in trouble. Of course, I had to
come over. Why are you here?”
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Stella could only interrupt them. “Stop arguing in this situation.
Let’s find a way to get out first.”
Weston calmed down and held her hand. “Do you
remember the original way? It’s safest if you return the same way you came in.”
Roger, however, grabbed Stella’s hand and would not let go. “I think we should wait for help to come.”
Weston frowned and interrupted him, “With the situation now, staying here is the same as waiting for
death. We’ll lose heat rapidly. Besides, the snow hasn’t stopped. If we stay in place, we’ll end up buried
in snow.‘
Stella agreed with Weston. When she just fell earlier, the snow had covered her immediately. Waiting in
place would be a greater danger.
Roger disagreed. “Continue to walk will only consume
our energy. When I came over, I saw the rescue team heading this way. They should be able to find us
soon.”
Weston paused and looked at him with impatience in his eyes. “You’re looking down the hill from here in
a straight line. It’ll take them much longer to find us. We can’t just sit here and wait for death.” He did not bother to give Roger another look. He told Stella directly, “Come with me.”
Roger insisted on his suggestion. Stella had no choice but to tell him, “Let’s keep going down. We may
meet the rescue team on the way. It’s snowing so heavily now. Even if we keep going, we may not be
able to see clearly.”
Roger said to her sternly, “I’ve checked before coming over. The snow will stop in another half hour or so.
By then, they’ll be able to find us…”
“It’s still snowing now. We’ll end up buried under the snow within half an hour. Then, we’ll suffocate.”
While they were arguing, there was a sudden clicking sound from the top of the branch.
Weston reacted quickly by hugging Stella and rolling over on the ground. A massive ball of snow had
crushed the place they had stood earlier.
It turned out that they had stood beneath a pine tree. With the snow pile that grew heavier, it crushed the
tree.
