Josephine rushed out of the office and barged. into Atticus’ office, urgently announcing, “Mr. Kowalski, I


    have to go somewhere far to attend to an urgent matter. Please find someone to rece me for my


    work.”


    After saying that, she didn’t say anything else and sprinted out of the room and thepany’s


    premises to go home to pack. She needed to get to the airport as soon as possible.


    She returned home and frantically searched for her passport. Heidi, who was still hangingundry to


    dry in the yard, asked curiously when she saw her daughtere home so early. “Joey? What are you


    doing at home at this hour?”


    Josephine then emerged with a bag on her back and said to her mother, “Mom, I need to go on a trip


    for something urgent. Don’t worry about me.” “A trip?” Heidi asked, “Where are you going?”


    “To a very faraway ce. I need to see Ethan.” “Are you going on a trip with Ethan?” Heidi asked,


    confused. However, she wouldn’t worry if Josephine was with Ethan.


    Josephine could only lie to her. “Yes, I’m going to see him.” She couldn’t help the tears welling up in her


    eyes as she turned around. “Okay, go ahead! Be safe! Do you have all your documents with you?”


    “I have them all, Mom. I’m off.” Josephine quickly went to her car to head to the airport. Tears streamed


    down her face throughout the journey. When she arrived at the airport, she boarded the earliest


    connecting flight. Even though she hadn’t reached her destination physically, she was mentally already


    in the Arctic.


    Theyover took Josephine two days. After the anxiety-filled journey, she finally met up with the rescue


    team at the airport. It was a teamposed of the world’s top snow rescue experts. Not only were they


    sufficient in manpower, but they were also equipped with the mostprehensive equipment.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Josephine sat by the window of therge ne that took off. When the middle-aged woman sitting


    beside her saw her tired face and reddened eyes, she gently advised, “Miss Jacobson, please get


    some sleep. We still have thirteen more hours to go.”


    Josephine had only managed to doze off briefly during the journey. Being woken up by a nightmare


    every time she fell asleep made her reluctant to sleep again. But at this moment, she truly needed a


    good rest because the harsh cold weather of the Arctic required her to have a healthy body. “I have


    some sleeping pills here that can help you catch some shut-eye.”


    “Please give me one. Thank you.” Josephine needed the assistance of medication. After taking a pill,


    Josephine looked at the clouds passing by outside the window. Her gaze flickered, and her eyes


    eventually closed when she fell asleep. She went on and slept for six hours, which was enough rest for


    her.


    Looking at the snowyndscape outside the window, Josephine thought her heart flew to the Arctic


    along with this vast expanse of snow. Will they manage to rescue Ethan? She desperately hoped for


    good news as soon as shended.


    After enduring the passage of time, the ne finally touched down. Dozens of SUVs were waiting at


    the airport on the snowy mountain. Josephine had to put on her thick down jacket. The cold of the


    Arctic was more intense than any chill she had ever experienced, but her high- strung nerves made her


    ignore this cold. Sitting in one of the vehicles, she looked ahead, eager to reach the rescue site as


    soon as possible.


    After about three hours of travel, they finally arrived at the base and set off from there to the ce


    where the ident happened. It was. already close to evening by now, and the surroundings gave the


    impression that they were standing on the edge of the Earth and were about to enter another world.
