    Chapter 1279


    Ste heard nothing.


    When she woke up again, all she saw was a world of darkness. There was no hint of light for a long time.


    It took her a long time to realize that she was blind.


    When she opened her eyes, she heard some anxious voices around her.


    “Ste, you’re awake! You scared me…”


    It was Yvonne’s voice.


    Ste paused a little before asking Yvonne with a hoarse voice, “Where am I?”


    “You’re in the hospital. You were saved from the snowing mountains. Don’t worry. You’re fine now. Oh, rig


    ht. Roger was in intensive care for two days, but he’s fine


    now. I guess he’ll be able to see you soon…”


    Ste listened and interrupted her, “How long have I been asleep?”


    “You were unconscious for almost three days. I was so anxious about you that I jumped when I saw the n


    ews. Fortunately, Angelina is there to help with Emma and Elias, or I’d be even more anxious…”


    Yvonne kept talking about the same thing back and forth. Ste roughly understood the events of the pas


    t two days, but she did not hear a certain someone’s name from her story.


    Ste did not ask. She fumbled around and struggled to


    sit up.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Yvonne helped her up and urged her, “Be careful.”


    Someone suddenly pushed open the door to the ward. Then, Ste heard the sound of footsteps that foll


    owed.


    Ste was on edge, a little nervous.


    “You may have snow blindness. We’ve checked. It didn’t hurt your eyes and your vision will probably heal


    in time.”


    When the man spoke, Ste immediately knew it was


    someone else. She was a little disappointed that it was


    not Weston’s voice.


    Lucas saw her face fall instantly and asked her, “Is something wrong?”


    “No.” Ste shook her head.


    However, Yvonne saw what was on Ste’s mind and


    asked her, “Are you worried about Weston?”


    The ward fell into a dead silence after the question. No one spoke first. Atst, Ste heard Lucas let out


    augh. His sneer consisted of manyplex meanings. Ste could recognize the mockery, sarcasm, a


    nd other emotions she feared thinking about.


    She asked in a trembling voice, “How is he?”


    “He’s fine. It’s just that when they found him, he was frozen to the ground.”


    Lucas said indifferently, “I heard about the rescue. When the rescue team said you can only pick one, did


    you


    choose Roger without hesitation?”


    Ste pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.


    “Well, I can understand. One is your ex–husband who’s


    stalking you, while the other is your cherished family member. It’s normal to choose family.”


    Lucas was just a little upset with Weston’s situation, but


    he understood Ste’s decision.


    Yvonne could not help but re at Lucas. “What


    nonsense are you saying? Weston also chose Guinevere before!”


    “So they’re even.” Lucas closed


    the file in his hands and patted Yvonne’s head. “If you have any problems,e straight to me. Now that


    “You should leave. Don’t disturb us.”


    After Lucas left, Yvonne quickly told Ste, “Don’t listen to him. He always talks like that. It’s not nice…”


    Ste nodded. After a long time, she slowly looked up at Yvonne. She was not looking in Yvonne’s directio


    How is he now?”


    Yvonne did not answer. After a long silence, she let out a weak sigh.


    Ste twisted the nket beneath her at once. “Is… he


    dead?”
