"The light seems a bit dim." She glanced at the photo before looking up at the sky. "It's windy here.""You can always edit the photo afterwards," he said. "Are you cold?""A bit. Let's not take any more photos." She took the phone from him. "Eric, I asked you to come here to tell you that we should stop seeing each and contacting each other."She summoned the courage to speak her mind. Her heart was racing by the time she was done, and she immediately bowed her head to avoid looking at him."I can't restart my life until I cut all ties with you." She stared at the snow at her feet. She felt a lump in her throat. She had not felt the urge to cry since she had come to a decision a few days ago."Of course, Layla," Eric said calmly. "If this can help you turn over a new page in your life, I won't object to it. I will never bother you or your family."She immediately looked up. "That's not what I mean. You are a close friend of Mom. I don't want your friendship to be affected by me.

"Let's search for a place to brace for impact!" Eric had acted in movies which had scenes similar to the situation they were in, and he knew the basics of what to do in an avalanche. "If we can't run, we need to wait for rescue to come."There was no way to predict natural disasters, and though the screaming had not ceased, Layla felt much more at ease.In the worst-case scenario, she would die with Eric. Her parents had other children, and they would not need to mourn for long over them. The only regret she felt was that she had asked Eric to come to Cambrode. Had she not done it, he would have never come, and he would not be in this disaster."I'm so sorry, Eric." Layla could not see how they would make it out of this alive, and she had to say what was on her mind while she still could. "I shouldn't have asked you to come here. I put you in this situation.""It's not your fault, Layla! We aren't the only people here; no one can predict something like this! Don't feel guilty! Do

The snow crashed down on him with his back taking the brunt of the impact."Eric!" she tried to touch his head. "Eric, move closer! Closer! It's fine if you are pressing against me!"The space was far too small and though she wanted to grab his arm, her arm would bump into the wall as soon as she moved."... It's fine... I'm fine," Eric said weakly. "Just wait. It's not over yet...""Why are you so good to me, Eric? Is it really just because I'm Avery Tate's daughter? Is that really the only reason why you like me?" Darkness loomed over them and though Layla could not see his face, she could sense his breath on her skin. "I regret it now, Eric. I don't want to cut all ties with you.""Let's talk about something else, Layla!" Eric did not know how much longer he could withstand it."If we get out of here alive, I'm marrying you," Layla said. "Eric, if you die and I get to live, I'm not marrying anyone for the rest of my life.""Don't say that, Layla. I should have been dead a lon

The avalanche had disrupted and damaged the communication system in the area, so there was no hope in calling for help.Thankfully, the avalanche immediately made international news.The other two employees of Tate Industries who were in the hotel received the news and started calling Layla and her assistant Emma right away."Ms. Tate won't pick up.""Neither will Emma. The signal has to be out over there! What should we do? Should we order a taxi and go there?""The roads are probably all blocked!""So are we just going to stand here and wait?! If something happens to Ms. Tate, we—""Stop being so pessimistic! Ms. Tate didn't go alone. Eric Santos went with her, didn't he?""So what if he did? There's a gigantic avalanche. It's not like Eric can control it! You have probably seen too many movies and have mistaken him for some kind of hero!""Why are you shouting at me?! I just want Ms. Tate to be safe."The two argued heatedly."We need to call Mr. Foster! Are you doing it

She could not help but shiver as she found her phone and called Hayden."Hayden, Layla is in danger! She went to the mountain with Eric, and there was an avalanche! Your dad and I will go to Cambrode right away! You inserted a GPS chip into Layla's phone before, right? Check to see if you can locate her!"Hayden immediately tensed at her voice and said, "I'll look into it right away! Don't worry. I will head to Cambrode right away as well! I will find her!"Avery sobbed her response before hanging up.Elliot had ended the call with his assistant and was calling another person to submit a request to fly.There was only one flight per day in the morning that departed from Aryadelle to Cambrode, and if they wished to depart immediately, they would need to take a private jet, but all private jets needed to be registered with the Air Défense Department and a flight course would need to be provided.By the time Elliot ended the phone call, Avery was already in tears.She had gone thro

Avery was on her way to the airport, and her heart sank when she received the call from Emma.She put the call on speakerphone so that Elliot could hear it as well. Unable to contain herself, she shrieked as soon as Emma answered the call. "Emma!""Ms. Tate, I can't reach Layla at all! She won't answer her phone! I just escaped the mountain, and I don't even know where I am right now... I've traveled so far to get a signal. There has been a horrible avalanche! I'm so scared!" Emma cried. "I don't know if Layla is still on that mountain... It's hell on earth over there!"When the avalanche took place, Emma was at the bottom of the mountain where there was a lot of space leading to different roads.The people around her instantly started running when they saw the avalanche, and since it was Emma's first time seeing such a disaster, she did not know the severity of the situation and stood still for a while.She did not start running until she saw waves of snow bearing down on her, an

Meanwhile, in Cambrode, Emma had returned to the hotel and regrouped with the other two colleagues, who were in tears.The team leader and the manager had planned to head toward the mountain but were told by the driver that all roads that led to the mountain were blocked when they got into the taxi.Even if they managed to move in that direction, the police were stopping people from approaching or taking photos, so they eventually gave up since there was no point in going if there was nothing they could do.To their pleasant surprise, Emma returned to the hotel, but she was so distraught that the only thing she could do was cry. The manager went to boil some hot water before picking up the menu to order room service.By the time the hotel staff delivered the dishes, Emma was exhausted from crying."Emma, take a sip of water." He poured her a glass of warm water. "It's warm."Emma accepted it and gulped down the water while the manager pushed a plate of food toward her."I know

In Aryadelle, Ivy did not find out about what happened to Layla until she returned home from university.Avery and Elliot took the next flight to Cambrode that afternoon, and as they were in too much of a hurry to tell Ivy and Robert what had happened, Robert found out about what had happened from the news, and he immediately called Layla. Layla did not answer the phone, nor had she replied to any of his text messages.Feeling unsettled, Robert called Avery, only to realize that Avery had turned her phone off.Panicking, he called Elliot, and as expected, he could not reach his father either.Robert immediately broke down in tears.This was the first time he could not reach his parents, and he knew that his parents would never turn off their phones unless something had happened. With tears welling in his eyes, Robert immediately called Hayden.Luckily, Robert managed to reach Hayden right before he was about to shut his phone off to get on his flight.When Ivy returned home,

Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

"All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
