Stella’s eyes lit up for a moment. However, her vision was still blurry. “He’s here! He’s here!”

Hearing that, Weston came to her side. “Roger, are you in there? What’s the situation?”

Roger calmed down at Weston’s voice and said to him, “I’m fine. I’m inside a cave. It won’t collapse for a while, so I shouldn’t freeze. Take my sister to safety first!”

He had to admit that Weston was right. Staying in place would only lead to death. Going outside was the only hope.

Weston’s face sank at Roger’s reply. He told Stella directly, “You heard him. I’ll take you out first.”

“No. I won’t go.”

Stella said through her gritted teeth, “I would never leave him behind.”

Weston’s face turned grim. “He’s stuck inside. We can’t save him at all. He can stay safely inside, but it’ll be hard for us to protect ourselves.”

“I can go down there with him!” Stella insisted. “He said there’s a cave inside. We can wait for help there…”

“You can’t!” Roger interrupted her suddenly. “There’s only enough r

    Stella said, “At least you’ll get out and hopefully come back to save us. I’ll just slow you down.”“Never say that again.” Weston hugged her and kissed her face. His lips were devoid of any warmth.Stella only felt the friction from the kiss and heard the man’s voice trembling slightly above her. “If you want to die, we’ll go together. I’ll never let go of you.”Stella couldn’t tell what she was feeling. The mixed emotions were like a snowstorm that rumbled inside.She took a deep breath and said to him, “Don’t you know? It’s too late…”“It’s too late…” What she said sounded incoherent, but Weston understood her anyway. He froze a little before he hugged her hard.“I know. Even so, I still want to try…”There was a sudden rumbling sound in the distance. Stella became nervous and looked up at him in his arms. “What’s going on?”“It’s probably the snowstorm.”Weston told her, “Don’t stop and keep going. There will be a platform ahead. You can set off another flare. They’ll se

    Stella barely had any strength left. She had to lean on one of the rescuers before she could even manage to speak.“We can only rescue one person in the current situation. We may have to go to the other person a little later…”“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!”“Are you saying that I have to pick one?”“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 heard nothing.…When she woke up again, all she saw was a world of darkness. There was no hint of light for a long time. It took her a long time to realize that she was blind.When she opened her eyes, she heard some anxious voices around her.“Stella, you’re awake! You scared me…”It was Yvonne’s voice.Stella paused a little before asking Yvonne with a hoarse voice, “Where am I?”“You’re in the hospital. You were saved from the snowing mountains. Don’t worry. You’re fine now. Oh, right. Roger was in intensive care for two days, but he’s fine now. I guess he’ll be able to see you soon…”Stella listened and interrupted her, “How long have I been asleep?”“You were unconscious for almost three days. I was so anxious about you that I jumped when I saw the news. Fortunately, Angelina is there to help with Emma and Elias, or I’d be even more anxious…”Yvonne kept talking about the same thing back and forth. Stella roughly understood the events of the past two days, but

    The days passed by as if it was no different from before.After Stella’s condition stabilized on the third day, Emma and Elias came to see her in the ward, accompanied by Angelina. As soon as they opened the door, they rushed into the room.Emma and Elias went to Stella’s bed and kept calling out to her. “Mommy, mommy.”Stella’s eyes reddened as she looked at the children, overwhelmed by the turbulent mix of the joys and sorrows of human emotion.Stella picked up Emma and let her lie in front of her. She kissed her cheek and squeezed Elias’s hand. “Mommy missed you guys so much…”“I’ve been so worried, Mommy!”Emma lay on Stella’s chest and was very talkative for once. Emma was usually a very timid and introverted girl. She was only outgoing with her family and very quiet. Although an intelligent girl, Emma was sometimes mistaken to be intellectually underdeveloped compared to Elias.Elias seemed to be a little calmer. He sat next to the bed and stared at Stella intently as if

    Bradley and Caspian had been here to visit her once. Bradley tried several times to ask her about Weston’s conditions, but in the end he just decided to keep his mouth shut and never brought up that name in front of her ever again. It was as if someone had instructed them not to disturb Stella’s life with any questions about Weston Ford.Every once in a while, Elias and Emma would ask Stella, “Where is that man called Weston Ford? Why don’t we see him anymore?”Stella did not quite know how to explain it to them, so in the end she just said, “Fate is a curious thing. Sometimes you would get along very well with someone for a while, but the next thing you know, they just disappear from your life and you never see them again…”“What does fate mean?” Emma asked her, blinking innocently.“It means the chances you have for meeting someone. You don’t have many chances, so it’s important that you cherish your time with everyone you meet.”Emma tilted her head sideways with confusion wr

    Regardless of what had happened, Guinevere Cohen was still someone that Henry had loved ever since he was a young boy, so he couldn’t simply stand aside and ignore her.Because Guinevere had been kind to him when he was young, he then began to follow her around everywhere, completely smitten and in love. But Guinevere had always had her heart set on Weston from the start, so even after all those years of growing up together, they never ended up in a relationship.But in fact, three years ago, when Weston was hellbent on destroying the Cohen family, Guinevere realized that she would never ever be together with Weston. At that moment, she tried to turn to Henry Moore and attempted to get together with him.But by then, Angelina Thompson, the woman who looked just like Faye, was already by Henry’s side. Still, Guinevere never thought of Angelina as a worthy rival. After all, she had a deep and long history with Henry, and in fact, back then, Henry Moore had even broken up with Faye b

    “Get out of my way,” Stella sternly told Nicole.But Nicole wouldn't budge. Blocking her way, her eyes glinted red with anger as she hissed, “I really can’t believe how vicious a woman you actually are! He went in to save you, yet you cruelly left him there all alone on that mountain to die! He’s critical right now, and he’ll likely never wake up again! How can you be so heartless?”Stella merely frowned slightly as Nicole hurled a barrage of accusations. Apart from that, she seemed practically unflustered.“If you feel so sorry for him, why don’t you go to him and nurse him to health?” she asked Nicole.“You—”Nicole was so enraged she was rendered speechless. She raised her hand, ready to slap Stella, but Daisy suddenly rushed from behind and shoved her aside.“Stop it!” she yelled. “Don’t cause any trouble!”Her eyes were bloodshot. She looked exhausted, as though she hadn't slept a wink in the past week.When she first noticed Stella, a look of hatred flashed in her eyes, b

    Chris Ford’s words sounded sincere, and his actions toward Wendy seemed much more heartfelt and earnest than ever.For this reason, even Wendy’s close friends, who had been supporting her decision to divorce Chris, started to change their tunes and even persuaded her to get back together with him.After all, it really did seem that Chris had truly learned his lessons and was genuinely repentant.But Wendy remained unmoved. Save for appearing in Weston’s life only when he was in deep trouble, she usually minded her own business and lived her own life.“I just bumped into Mr. Chris Ford outside…” Daisy tried to remind her.“I know,” Wendy cut her off. “Have you seen Stella?”“Yes,” Daisy replied. She realized that Wendy did not want to talk about Chris Ford, so she instantly dropped the subject before turning the topic to the task that Wendy had assigned to her. “Ms. Sealey refused to come…”“Did she say so herself?” Wendy frowned.“Yes. I told her that Mr. Ford is in a critical

    Stella had rarely ever woken up before him.He had always been terrifyingly strong, but their lovemaking last night must have consumed a lot of his energy, leaving him so tired that he was still sound asleep.She stared at him and suddenly felt like doing something naughty. She pinched his nose and held her fingers there, trying to suffocate him. Unsurprisingly, he soon knitted his handsome brows and quickly woke up.He was surprised to see her mesmerizing eyes as soon as he woke up, which made him pause. He then took her hand into his and kissed it again and again.“Are you okay?” he asked with concern, remembering how wildly he ravaged her last night.She had only been willing to be intimate with him because she was under the influence of a drug, yet he had taken advantage of her and had his way with her over and over again last night.Stella did not speak. Seeing her like that made his expressions turn a little colder. He fell silent for a long time before he got up and sl

    The moment Stella saw him, she flew into his arms and clambered onto his body. She kissed him again and again, trying to search for his breath so she could explore his body even deeper. All she wanted was to let him extinguish the fire burning inside her.Half an hour had passed, and the effect of the drug on her body was its strongest now.Weston swallowed his saliva. Without any hesitation, he pinned her against the bathroom mirror and kissed her vehemently on her face, her shoulders, then her neck.Stella could not stop herself from letting out loud moans. The sounds she produced only drove Weston wilder. Even the corners of his eyes began to turn red now.Luckily, there was still a thread of reason in his mind. He pushed her away and, while panting heavily, asked her, “Who am I, Stella?”But Stella’s mind was occupied with her primal urges. She ignored his question and grabbed his shirt collar, saying, “Let’s do it…” The sight of her filled Weston with a desire to just give

    Weston paused, then simply replied, “Okay.”When he saw her changing into a pair of high heels, he followed her around and asked, “Where are you going?”“Oh, to a private concert.”Then she added, “If you’re going to spend the night here tonight, then please take care of Elias and Emma. But if you have to leave, I’ll ask Roger to come over instead.”“Don’t worry,” he said. “Just go out and enjoy yourself. I’ll be at home and take good care of the kids.”Stella paused suddenly, feeling inexplicably weird about what Weston had just said. It sounded like she was forcing him to stay at home and take care of the kids while she went out to have fun without a care in the world. She turned around to look at Weston, feeling like he was acting like a poor neglected housewife.She shook her head and tried to shake this terrifying thought out of her mind.When they arrived at the concert, Hayden offered his arm to her like a gentleman. They then walked into the private concert together, w

    Stella’s words rendered Weston speechless. She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Stella date other people, so he must seem like a fool saying all those things to her.He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little. “I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Stella. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma. Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on the couch with Roger, occasionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go ahead with your date.”Stella said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.When they got downstairs, Hayden glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him like that?”“I don’t know,” Stella massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure wh

    Hayden Quirk arrived half an hour earlier than Stella did on their first date.“You’re much earlier than I expected,” he joked as Stella walked in.Stella was actually on time, but she still felt a little guilty when she saw him already waiting for her when she arrived.“The traffic is terrible today,” she said.“Don’t worry about it,” Hayden said, handing her the menu. “Mr. Ford expected me to wait for you for at least an hour.”“I seriously don’t know what you guys are up to,” she grumbled, exasperated, “but I hope it will at least be over soon. Just don’t drag it out and cause me any trouble.”She ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu back to him. Hayden took it from her, ordered a few more signature dishes that the restaurant was popular for, then looked at Stella with a faint smile.“Did you think this is all just a joke?” he asked.“What else could it be?”“I am serious about this,” he told her, his voice suddenly turning grave. “Since even Mr. Ford agreed that we s

    Weston raised his eyebrows at Ben’s words. “But he’s divorced. He has an ex-wife.”“What’s wrong with having an ex-wife?”Ben found Weston’s comment strange. “This man has good qualities. Upon investigation, he has a very good personality too. He was an active member during college. He also has an amazingly beautiful resume. It’s normal that a man like him has been married before… Besides, hasn’t Ms. Sealey been married before herself? She even has two children.”Weston’s expression turned cold at once. “Are you discriminating against her?”“I’m not.”Weston said, “Or do you think she can only find a divorced man for her second marriage?”Ben panicked. “I wouldn’t dare!”With Weston’s ridiculous amount of nitpicking, they could find no one that would match Stella.Hayden sat beside and quietly reviewed Weston’s latest psychological health report. As he turned the page, he suddenly said, “I’m actually a little interested in Ms. Sealey.”Hayden laughed a little and turned to Wes

    Stella opened her eyes and shot Weston a cold look. Then, she turned her head the other way.Weston did not touch her again. He knew she was probably angry with him, so he stayed silent.A few moments later, he reminded her, “Don’t be angry. That man is unreliable.”Stella propped her chin in her palm. “And what does that have to do with you?”Weston pursed his lips, setting his jaw in a tight line. He said, “I’ve promised to stop pestering you. It’ll be a promise. I’m fine with seeing you with another man, but at least find someone who makes me feel at ease.”“Why do I need your approval when I’m just looking for a date?” Stella found his words funny. “You’re just my ex-husband. Don’t you think you care too much?”Weston rubbed his brow, and his voice suddenly went cold. “If you don’t want me to keep pestering you like I just did, maybe you should listen to me.”Stella questioned, “Are you threatening me?”“No. I’m suggesting.”Stella was lost for words. Then, she suddenly

    Stella froze for a moment when she heard the voice. When she turned around, she saw that Weston had appeared behind her at some point.Weston stared at the man behind Stella with a cold gaze and an icy aura around him. Weston had always emitted a strong aura around him. Anyone who saw him would immediately be terrified because of his intimidating aura.The man froze for a moment at Weston’s sudden appearance. He took a step back and quickly steadied himself before greeting Weston, “Mr. Ford.”He still had the same calm and gentle look. “I’m sending Miss Cicily back.”“I know. Don’t ever show up in front of her again,” Weston told him. “You don’t have to send her back. Stay away from her.”It would be a little inappropriate for the man to act a fool at Weston’s straightforwardness, so he tugged at his collar and asked Weston with a polite smile, “Mr. Ford, you should give me a reason, shouldn’t you? I’m having a good time with Miss Cicily.”“You’re the one who thinks she’s having

    Stella smiled. It seemed like he had come prepared.Stella enjoyed chatting with the man. He was sincere and introduced himself properly as soon as they started chatting.The man was also a pianist and came from a scholarly family. Although not super wealthy, he was doing considerably well in the middle class. Stella would not need to worry about the quality of life with him, but that was about it. She certainly could not live a luxurious life.Stella had a good impression of him. She also talked to him a little more about piano music.Stella twirled her hair and smiled. She told him with a nice voice, “I’m sure Roger has already told you about my situation.”“I know.”The man looked at her gently and set the coffee in front of her. He said to her, “I’m very interested in you. I think we’re very suitable for each other. Our living standards nowadays have improved quite a bit.
