Yardley boarded the helicopter swiftly.

The helicopter flew in low circles. Yardley held a pair of binoculars in his hands. He looked down and saw nothing but a vast expanse of white.

Every inch of the mountain was covered in snow, which obscured everything. Yardley couldn't see a thing.

"Slow down," Yardley ordered sternly. He couldn't afford to miss any clues as to Celia's whereabouts, no matter how trivial they might seem.

The helicopter circled back and forth repeatedly, but all Yardley could see was the endless snow.

"Yards, we've searched several times. But I still don't see anything." Angelica sat beside Yardley, pretending to use the binoculars to look for Celia's traces.

She was secretly delighted. Everything on the mountain had been covered by heavy snow. Not even a small animal was visible, let alone someone as big as a woman.

Celia must have been buried under the snow!

"Keep looking!" Yardley's stern voice rang out.

It was impossible for Celia to vanish without a t

    Yardley didn't hesitate and leaped from the helicopter. Then, he slowly descended to the ground.This was his second time parachuting. He had done it with Celia the last time. Despite the life-threatening situation they had faced back then, Yardley had been calm and even somewhat joyful. That was because Celia had been with him at the time. That was when she had told him that she accepted him and was willing to be with him. From that moment on, they would face life and death together.But this time, anxiety, concern, and fear—a whole mix of negative emotions—coursed through every cell of his body. He was afraid. He was terrified that something had happened to Celia this time. He was scared that he would never see her again.Yardley squinted his eyes, and gazed at the vast expanse of white below."Celia, where are you? I'm here! You must hold on!" Yardley shouted internally. He hoped that God would hear him and direct him to Celia.A few minutes later, Yardley landed in t

    Although Nicole was reluctant to admit it, she knew that Angelica's words made sense.However, Yardley's expression stiffened. "We continue searching."He couldn't wait when Celia was in such a dangerous situation. Every minute wasted meant an extra minute of danger for her. Despite his exhaustion, Yardley didn't want to stop for a moment. He didn't want to risk Celia's chances of survival. After giving the situation careful thought, Yardley made a suggestion. "Here's what we'll do. We'll split into four groups and search in four different directions."The forested area was quite vast. He had to ensure they didn't miss a single spot."Yards, I'll go with you." Angelica clung to Yardley like glue, pulling at his arm.She hoped they would never find Celia. Even if Celia hadn't been buried by the snow, she should have starved to death by now.Yardley nodded. "Candy, it's dangerous here. Follow me carefully."Angelica's heart warmed at his words. She flashed her most charming sm

    "No, Celia must be nearby!" Yardley was confident.He had a feeling that he would see Celia soon and rescue her.He glanced up at the red scarf fluttering in the wind and felt a bit regretful. Celia had left such an obvious clue. Why hadn't he noticed it earlier?At that time, Celia's situation must have been very dire. She left the distress signal, hoping someone would come to her aid. But it had taken him so long to find it. A whole 48 hours had passed since she had disappeared.Yardley couldn't wait any longer!"Why did we only discover Celia's distress signal now?" Nicole also felt frustrated about not having spotted the red scarf sooner."The scarf was probably buried under the snow earlier. That was why we couldn't see it. The sun came out this morning, the snow started melting slowly, and the recent strong wind also helped uncover the scarf." Yannis shared his analysis with them."You make a good point," Yardley agreed with a nod.But where was Celia?Yardley furrowed

    Celia looked at the familiar man in front of her as if she were dreaming. "Celia, it's me!" Yardley smiled, his husky voice resounding in the cave.He raised an eyebrow, his deep gaze fixed firmly on the woman before him.In just a few days, Celia had become noticeably thinner. Her fair complexion, deprived of sunlight for several days in the cave, appeared extraordinarily pale. Her beautiful eyes were red. There were glistening tears that she fought to hold back.She looked like she could be blown away by the wind at any moment.With a single stride, Yardley stood in front of Celia without hesitation. He extended his long arms to embrace her. His embrace was as warm and reassuring as ever. It made Celia feel safe.Her heart raced. Although she had a thousand words in her heart, she didn't know how to say them.How had Yardley suddenly appeared here? Why had he come to rescue her? Had he forgiven her for what happened to Otto?A whirlwind of thoughts swirled in her mind. Cel

    The blow came too suddenly. No one had a chance to react, including Yardley.Celia had only used about 30% of her strength. Even so, Angelica trembled all over in pain. She cried out, "Ah!""And she's up." Celia dusted her hands and stood up.Angelica's expression alternated between fury and shock. She glared at Celia fiercely. "Why the hell did you hit me?"Celia looked down at Angelica condescendingly. In a sarcastic tone, she questioned, "Weren't you unconscious? How did you know I hit you?"Anyone with basic common sense would know that an unconscious person wouldn't feel pain.Angelica had a very huge reaction upon receiving the blow from Celia. It only meant that she hadn't been unconscious.Faced with Yardley's somewhat judgmental gaze, Angelica pretended to be pitiful. "Did I pass out, Yards? I blacked out all of a sudden. The moment I woke up, Celia hit me! It hurts! Why did she do that? Yards, I searched for her with you all the way. "I was cold and hungry … I—I ne

    The three of them continued on their way. The ice and snow hadn't completely melted yet. It made the journey quite challenging, especially for Celia."I would have asked Yardley to send us here by helicopter if I had known it would be like this," Nicole complained.Rather than letting Angelica cling to Yardley, it would have been better to have him escort them to find Dr. Fletcher. After all, the purpose of finding Dr. Fletcher was to save Otto. So Yardley had a responsibility to take them there.Celia's expression stiffened as she looked around, then she replied, "He should be nearby.""Are you sure? Everything here is covered in snow. It looks desolate and doesn't seem to have any signs of human life," Nicole asked with doubt."According to what Lydia said, it should be around here." Celia paused her steps.Parker, who had been silent all along, spoke up right then. He pointed ahead and asked, "Celia, is this the place?"Looking in the direction where Parker was pointing, Celi

    Yardley was pleasantly surprised to see the middle-aged man standing behind Celia. If he wasn't mistaken, this unassuming man should be Joaquin.Yardley took a step forward and said respectfully, "Dr. Fletcher, thank you."Joaquin snorted coldly, "If you want to thank someone, thank Celia."The usually haughty Yardley felt a bit embarrassed and gave a wry smile.It seemed that geniuses tended to be somewhat eccentric. Otherwise, Joaquin wouldn't have chosen to hide in this snowy wilderness for no apparent reason. With his exceptional medical skills, the world was his oyster.Thinking of that, Yardley didn't hold it against Joaquin. He was concerned about Otto's condition. "Celia, time is of the essence. Let's set off as soon as possible."Celia nodded and agreed. "Let's go."She wanted to return to Ashvale to treat Otto too.Yardley took out his phone and was about to call Yannis. But Angelica ran over, panting heavily. She went straight to Yardley and tugged on his arm. She

    Celia's eyes shot open. She saw the blinding cabin lights. The plane was still flying smoothly.She realized that it was just a nightmare. She breathed a long sigh of relief."Celia, how are you feeling?" Several concerned voices chimed in at once.She clutched her chest, still trembling from the ordeal. Not wanting the others to worry, she shook her head. "It's nothing. I just had a bad dream."The dream had felt so real. It was as if those things had actually happened.Why would she have such a strange dream? Was it because Angelica had disgusted her so much in recent days?Parker turned to look at Celia. He took in her pale complexion and the layer of cold sweat on her forehead. He said with concern, "Celia, you look terrible. Are you sure you're okay?"Celia forced a smile. "I'm fine.""Let me take a look." Joaquin stood up and walked over to Celia.He bent down slightly. Then, he placed his right index finger on Celia's wrist to feel her pulse.After two minutes, he smil

    In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage. "Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly." Looking at the adorable babies, Morgan couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to Celia. "I'm here on behalf of Yardley Hughes else to adopt these children, but..." Morgan expressed her concerns. Morgan anticipated the orphanage director's refusal. To her surprise, he actually agreed. "The opportunity for these two babies to have some good days is preferable to nothing.

    "Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?" Morgan asked. The housekeepers promptly briefed

    Sophie had failed to get Celia's forgiveness. So, she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Morgan.She took all the supplements to Morgan's apartment. Richard was staying there with her.Ever since the incident with Celia, Sophie's relationship with Richard had become very strained. They barely talked to one another.Sophie knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out.She could only wait outside. After two hours, she finally saw Morgan and Richard. They came into view, laughing and holding each other's hands.This scene pained Sophie deeply."What are you doing here?" Morgan's cheerful expression faltered the moment she saw Sophie.Sophie could only put on a smile and say, "I brought all these for you. I was wrong to come between your relationship with my son."Richard glanced at the items on the ground. He could tell from a glance that they were meant for postpartum care and immediately understood why Sophie was there."Mom, you should be honest. You got the

    Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside. Otto stomped his walking cane on the ground in frustration but had no choice but to leave.As Yardley made his way back inside the villa, he thought of another troubling matter.Although they had brought their children home, the twins had been weak because they had been born prematurely. They had appointed a family doctor to treat the twins but hadn't seen much improvement in their health. Yardley sanitized himself before he went into the nursery. He felt pained when he heard the twins' weak breaths."Mr. Hughes." The family doctor spoke up with a frown, indicating that the situation was far from ideal."The baby girl has been slowly recovering, but the boy remains very weak. I don't think the n

    "Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?" Yardley turned to ask the nurse after learning that Celia was alright."Yes, sir." The nurse chuckled inwardly. She found that, despite Yardley's intimidating appearance, he was a very devoted husband.Soon, Celia was moved out of the operating room and into a VIP ward.Yardley gently wiped the sweat from Celia's face again. He took in her pale complexion; it was a sign of how much she had suffered."How's Celia?"Sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside. Ashley and the others had come over. Yardley turned and signaled them to leave.Celia had just given birth, so she needed a quiet environment to rest. Having too many visitors might affect her recovery.Ever

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that. She didn't attempt to intervene anymore."It's

    "Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out. If you're unwilling to be decent and compromise, then let's end things between our families here."Morgan felt relieved after expressing her thoughts. It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that. Jessica and Darby left with her, leaving the Blacks behind."This is all your doing! Look what you've done! How many times have I told you not to be so assertive and bossy? Why don't you ever consider my feelings?" Richard punched the couch angrily, his heart filled with bitterness.Sophie hadn't wanted things to turn out this way either, but she had been too angry and spoke

    "It's fine. You two can go if you have something else to attend to," Jessica said.Soon, Celia arrived at the Blacks' residence with Jessica and Darby.Sophie opened the door and was surprised to see Celia standing at the doorstep with Jessica and Darby. She couldn't understand what Celia was up to.Once they were inside, Celia didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. "I think you might be having some misunderstandings about Morgan."Sophie smiled without saying anything."Don't you think you're interfering too much in Morgan's personal life?" Celia questioned.Upon hearing this, Sophie realized why they were there. Having discussed the issue with Chester, Sophie had finally agreed not to interfere in Richard's and Morgan's lives.So, she didn't object to Celia's words. She even agreed with Celia, much to the latter's surprise.Under normal circumstances, Sophie would have argued with her. Why was she being so agreeable this time?"How about you sign a writ

    After saying that, Celia hung up.On the other end, Quinn felt very displeased. After all, it was her party, and she had personally called Celia to invite her. Quinn felt that Celia had snubbed her by refusing to attend.Quinn thought about it for a moment. If Celia didn't come, Yardley probably wouldn't either. If both of them didn't show up, it would be embarrassing for Quinn.So, she decided to go and find Celia.…Morgan was taking refuge at Celia's place, so she answered the door when Quinn came over."I'm here to see Celia."Celia had instructed Morgan to turn away anyone she didn't recognize, no matter who it was.
