    Ste


    barely had any strength left. She had to lean on one of the rescuers before she could even manage to sp


    eak.


    “We can only rescue one person in the current situation. We may have to go to the other person a little


    ter…”


    “But then… Wouldn’t the other person be left there to


    die?”


    The rescuer fed Ste some water, but she coughed so hard that he identally 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 Ste, held her shoulders firmly, and made her look into his eyes. “Calm down. Try to


    remember theirst 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!”


    “Yes,”


    “But…” Ste saw the worsening conditions and heavy snow. The snow hadn’t stopped after half an hour


    but had instead intensified.


    Bradley said to Ste, “We have to hurry. If we waste more time, the rescuers may not


    be able to get back in.”


    ‘Only one person can be rescued… Only one…‘ The thought haunted Ste like a


    spell. They could only save one of the two. At this point, she finally realized how


    difficult it was to make such a choice. 1


    Ste clenched her fists hard. She already had an answer in her mind, but it was hard to say it. After a lo


    ng while, she finally said slowly, “Roger is inside a cave. He should


    be able to hold on for a while inside. You must find him.”


    Bradley froze for a moment. Although he knew her answer, he still fell into a long silence when he heard


    her. After that, he stood up and said to the rescue team, Rescue Roger first.”

    As the whistling mountain wind arrived, the snow got heavier.


    Ste could not see, so she closed her eyes. However, the image of Weston telling her to keep going an


    d not look


    back kept appearing in her head.

    eyes were red with tears but she couldn’t cry. It was as if all her tears had frozen in the frigid, unforgiving


    snowy mountains.


    Later, the snow and wind outside had finally stopped for a while. Ste was resting inside the camp halfw


    ay up the mountain.


    Ste sat by the campfire and gradually recovered.


    Someone came in and told her, “We found Roger, but he was a little hypothermic when we found him.


    Fortunately, his life isn’t in danger. He’s in the ambnce

    Ste let out a sigh of relief and nodded. “I see. Thank you.”


    She stood up and bowed to the messenger. “Thank you so much.”


    The man was surprised to see Ste bowing in the wrong direction. She was not facing him. Then, he rea


    Ste might have difficulty seeing.


    He walked to Ste and waved his hand in front of her.


    Knowing that he had noticed her condition, she lowered


    her eyes and asked, “What about Weston?”


    The man stopped dead in his tracks and remembered that there was still one person left to rescue. He sa

    Ste stumbled a step back and held onto a table to keep herself from falling over.


    She heard herself asking him with a hoarse voice, “What are his chances of being saved?”


    There was a long silence. The man knew she was asking about Weston and did not answer. However, his


    Ste suddenly cked out and fainted. The noisy


    blizzard, winds, and snow turned to silence.
