    Chapter 1273


    Though the cave was warmer than the frozen wastnd outside, she was still shivering with cold.


    Ste found some dry branches and tried to start a fire, but she was running low on resources.


    Ste took a look at the snowstorm outside and let off a re. She had set off a few along the way, but no


    one had found her.


    Ste observed the surroundings and calcted that she could stillst another night.


    After some time, however, she suddenly felt something moving outside and was immediately alerted.


    Ste heard about the possibility of encountering wild animals in the mountains at night. Could it be a


    wolf or something?


    Ste’s heart pounded anxiously at that thought. She grabbed the wooden stick, wanting to explore


    outside.


    At the same time, the snow above the cave suddenly copses. The rocks and soil were falling inside.


    The blizzard outside was getting worse. Seeing that the cave entrance was about to be blocked, she had


    no choice but to force herself to crawl out.


    Stuck, she tried to crawl her way out when she suddenly met a pair of green eyes that shocked her to the


    core. She was about to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth. After a long silence, she finally put


    down her trembling hands. Then, she heard a familiar, hoarse voice.


    “It’s me… Ste…”


    Ste froze and held her breath. She looked back to see Weston, who appeared at some point.


    Weston, wearing the same professional ski clothes as Ste, was fully covered in snow. He looked


    straight at her with his deep eyes.


    He shoveled the snow away from the outside and walked straight to her, then grabbed her by her arms


    and lifted her out of the cave.


    Ste grabbed onto Weston’s shoulder. With his help, she could finally get out to safety.


    Weston patted the snow on her body and was a little nervous about her condition. He embraced her in


    his arms after he made sure she was unharmed.


    Ste was still a little breathless. The hot breath that she exhaled turned into a white mist that lingered in


    the air. The two just hugged each other quietly for a while.


    After a short silence, Weston pushed her away and looked her in the eyes. “How many times have I told


    you? Don’t


    go to dangerous ces like this! You always take my words for granted!”


    Ste was still panting and a little dazed. She frowned a little at his reprimand and said nothing.

    Weston knew it was pointless lecturing her in times like these. He could only suppress his anger and


    said, “I’ll take you out first.”


    He held Ste’s hand. Seeing that, Ste held his hand anyway. The two wanted to follow the original


    road back, only to find that the road was blocked.


    It was snowing too heavily. Soon, the sky was dark again. The visibility in the snow was so low. Ste


    shook her head, feeling a little dizzy from the reflective snow.


    Weston stopped walking and nced at her. “Are you feeling unwell?”


    Ste knew that if she said she was not feeling well,


    Weston would stop again, which would be nothing but a waste of time. Thus, she braced herself, saying,


    “I’m fine. We should hurry…”


    The light that reflected off the snow was so strong that it burned her eyes, and she could barely see the


    road in front of her. Then, she suddenly let go of Weston’s hand.


    “Ste!” Weston’s heart jumped in fear. When he looked back, he saw Ste falling into the endless pile


    of snow. His eyes turned red instantly.


    Weston turned back to her and urged, “Ste, take my hand!”
