barely had any strength left. She had to lean on one of the rescuers before she could even manage to sp
eak.
“We can only rescue one person in the current situation. We may have to go to the other person a little la
ter…”
“But then… Wouldn’t the other person be left there to
die?”
The rescuer fed Stella some water, but she coughed so hard that he accidentally let go of the
water, spilling it all
over the ground.
She looked at them anxiously. “Please save both of
them!”
“Sorry. With our current manpower… We can only save
one person.”
Bradley walked to Stella, held her shoulders firmly, and made her look into his eyes. “Calm down. Try to
remember their last location. We should be able to save
one of them… But if you continue to hesitate, we may not be able to save any of them!”“Yes,”
“But…” Stella saw the worsening conditions and heavy snow. The snow hadn’t stopped after half an hour
but had instead intensified.
Bradley said to Stella, “We have to hurry. If we waste more time, the rescuers may not
be able to get back in.”
‘Only one person can be rescued… Only one…‘ The thought haunted Stella like a
spell. They could only save one of the two. At this point, she finally realized how

be able to hold on for a while inside. You must find him.”
Bradley froze for a moment. Although he knew her answer, he still fell into a long silence when he heard
her. After that, he stood up and said to the rescue team, Rescue Roger first.”

As the whistling mountain wind arrived, the snow got heavier.
Stella could not see, so she closed her eyes. However, the image of Weston telling her to keep going an

back kept appearing in her head.
She wrapped the blanket tightly around her body. Hereyes were red with tears but she couldn’t cry. It was as if all her tears had frozen in the frigid, unforgiving
snowy mountains.
Later, the snow and wind outside had finally stopped for a while. Stella was resting inside the camp halfw
ay up the mountain.
Stella sat by the campfire and gradually recovered.
Someone came in and told her, “We found Roger, but he was a little hypothermic when we found him.
Fortunately, his life isn’t in danger. He’s in the ambulance

Stella let out a sigh of relief and nodded. “I see. Thank you.”
She stood up and bowed to the messenger. “Thank you so much.”
The man was surprised to see Stella bowing in the wrong direction. She was not facing him. Then, he rea
Stella might have difficulty seeing.
He walked to Stella and waved his hand in front of her.
Knowing that he had noticed her condition, she lowered
her eyes and asked, “What about Weston?”
The man stopped dead in his tracks and remembered that there was still one person left to rescue. He sa
However, the snow is getting heavier. There are mudslides too, so we may have to delay the rescue progrStella stumbled a step back and held onto a table to keep herself from falling over.
She heard herself asking him with a hoarse voice, “What are his chances of being saved?”
There was a long silence. The man knew she was asking about Weston and did not answer. However, his
Stella suddenly blacked out and fainted. The noisy
blizzard, winds, and snow turned to silence.
