Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Ford Is Jealous: Kabanata 1271 - Kabanata 1280

“But if we stay here, we’re doomed to die…”No one responded to Stella’s words. The rest of the group had no energy to move forward anymore. Perhaps it was due to the big mental blow because of their lapse in judgment. None of them were confident to rescue themself.Stella could only save herself. “We don’t know where we are. No one else knows either. If you’re going to stay here, give me the compass. I want to get out.”Rather than staying here and waiting for death, she could increase her chance of survival by searching outside. However, the rest of the group was down in the dumps and had no energy to refute her words.Stella pursed her lips. She left one compass for them and took the other one, and got ready to leave.At the same time, at the foot of the mountain…Roger arrived at the camp by car. As soon as he came down, he went to Bradley and asked him, “Where is Stella?”Bradley recognized Roger, who came to him in anger and demanded Stella’s whereabouts. From the reaction

Stella saw nothing but blinding white. She also seemed not to hear a single word that Weston said.As her vision blurred, her senses of the surrounding deteriorated.Weston moved the snow away and found where she had fallen. When he pulled her up, he realized something was wrong with her. “What’s wrong with your eyes?”Stella’s eyes were blank. She was looking ahead with an unfocused gaze. After a short silence, she shook her head again.“I’m fine. Let’s keep going.”Weston frowned at her. When he was about to say something, he heard a sharp voice from the other side.“Sis!”Stella turned in the direction of the voice incredulously, but she could not see anything but white. It was not until a tall shadow appeared in front of her that she felt a familiar feeling come over her.“Roger, is that you?”Roger could not be bothered with his former identity as Miguel. He grabbed Stella’s hand at once. “It’s me… Are you alright?”His anxiousness was all over his face. It was as if the

Stella’s eyes lit up for a moment. However, her vision was still blurry. “He’s here! He’s here!”Hearing that, Weston came to her side. “Roger, are you in there? What’s the situation?”Roger calmed down at Weston’s voice and said to him, “I’m fine. I’m inside a cave. It won’t collapse for a while, so I shouldn’t freeze. Take my sister to safety first!”He had to admit that Weston was right. Staying in place would only lead to death. Going outside was the only hope.Weston’s face sank at Roger’s reply. He told Stella directly, “You heard him. I’ll take you out first.”“No. I won’t go.” Stella said through her gritted teeth, “I would never leave him behind.”Weston’s face turned grim. “He’s stuck inside. We can’t save him at all. He can stay safely inside, but it’ll be hard for us to protect ourselves.”“I can go down there with him!” Stella insisted. “He said there’s a cave inside. We can wait for help there…”“You can’t!” Roger interrupted her suddenly. “There’s only enough r

Stella barely had any strength left. She had to lean on one of the rescuers before she could even manage to speak.“We can only rescue one person in the current situation. We may have to go to the other person a little later…”“But then… Wouldn’t the other person be left there to die?”The rescuer fed Stella some water, but she coughed so hard that he accidentally 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 Stella, held her shoulders firmly, and made her look into his eyes. “Calm down. Try to remember their last 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!”“Are you saying that I have to pick one?”“Yes.”“But...” Stella saw the worsening conditions and heavy snow. The snow hadn’t stopped after half an hour but had instead intensified.Bradley said to

The days passed by as if it was no different from before.After Stella’s condition stabilized on the third day, Emma and Elias came to see her in the ward, accompanied by Angelina. As soon as they opened the door, they rushed into the room.Emma and Elias went to Stella’s bed and kept calling out to her. “Mommy, mommy.”Stella’s eyes reddened as she looked at the children, overwhelmed by the turbulent mix of the joys and sorrows of human emotion.Stella picked up Emma and let her lie in front of her. She kissed her cheek and squeezed Elias’s hand. “Mommy missed you guys so much…”“I’ve been so worried, Mommy!”Emma lay on Stella’s chest and was very talkative for once. Emma was usually a very timid and introverted girl. She was only outgoing with her family and very quiet. Although an intelligent girl, Emma was sometimes mistaken to be intellectually underdeveloped compared to Elias.Elias seemed to be a little calmer. He sat next to the bed and stared at Stella intently as if
