Chapter 1271
Weston’s face turned grim. He picked up the protective gear and headed out without saying anything.
The captain hurriedly stopped him. “Mr. Ford, what are you doing?”
“I’m finding her.”
“No. You’re not an expert. With all this snow, you could get lost.”
“Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?”
“We’ve already sent a search team…”
Earlier, they had only sent out two men to search for Stella’s group. Should they encounter difficulties, two men
would not be able to help much.
“Gather all the men immediately. Get all the experts and begin the search. They might be lost or just resting

“)
The captain knew that the woman Weston cared about was in the group. Saying nothing more, he rushed to
arrange a few search teams as quickly as possible.
Weston followed them, intending to join the search for Stella.
The captain, however, hesitated a little. “Mr. Ford, it may
get dangerous. We can’t guarantee your safety if you insist on following us. You should stay at base camp and wait
for us…”
Weston did not say anything and put on the protective gear, then looked at the whistling snow ahead with a cold
face. He told the captain, “Stop wasting time here. Go straight in to find them.”
The captain fell into a long silence while staring at Weston’s back. For the first time, he saw that Weston was deadly
serious about Stella.
There were many rumors about Weston’s relationship with Stella, but nothing was as genuine as what he saw with
his own eyes. In his opinion, a man’s willingness to sacrifice his own life for a woman was the ultimate expression of
love.
Meanwhile, Stella and the group were still in the
mountains. Stella observed the worsening blizzard and looked around. As the people on her team stopped one after
another, she had a bad feeling.
“Are we lost?”
There was dead silence when Stella mentioned the word. The rest of the group had little to say previously, but they

The road ahead was blocked. With the ice and snow covering everything, it all looked the same.
Stella knew they were in a bad situation. The atmosphere was grim, and saying something ungainly at this moment
would only increase pressure. Surely, that wouldn’t be of much help.
Stella stood up and asked the most experienced in the group. “Do we have a better hope of finding our way out
now, or should we just wait for the rescue team?”
“The blizzard is starting to get out of hand. I guess there’s probably no one over there. Maybe they don’t even
know we’re lost in the snow…”
Their overconfidence drove them to leave with only one team. It meant they had no backup plan.
Stella felt the piercing cold seeping through her limbs, and she asked him, “Are we going to wait here to die now?”
The leader of the group shook his head. “I can walk no further…”
He looked at Stella with a pale face and said, “If you still have strength, push a little further ahead. You may see
the supply station, depending on your luck.”
