Chapter 1276
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.”

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 room for one person in here, so go ahead, Sis … Let him take you out…”
Roger finally came to his senses at that moment. The mountains were not safe at all. He did not want Stella to risk
her life by accompanying him there.
Weston grabbed Stella by the collar and dragged her away without saying a word.
Stella could not see. Without her vision, she could only feel the stones and sand rubbing her face. It hurt a little, but
she gritted her teeth and did not make a sound.
Weston stopped after noticing Stella’s silence and how she looked like she had lost all her energy.
“Do you really want to die with him?” Weston said to her and suddenly got a little angry. “Are you going to die with
him here? Have you thought of your children? What about Emma and Elias?”
Stella moved her fingers a little before looking at him somewhat blankly.
Seeing her reaction, Weston continued, “You’re the only family. If all three of us die here, do you know what will
happen to them? Even if the Garcias would take them in, would they be okay with their parents?”
Stella seemed to regain some strength and stood up slowly. “You said you would let someone save him…”
“I promise you,” Weston told her. “I won’t give up on
him, okay? As long as you come with me.”
Stella nodded.
Weston looked into her eyes and asked her abruptly, “You can’t see, can you? Be honest with me.”
“Yes. When I came out of the cave, my vision went white. I could see clearly sometimes, but I couldn’t sometimes

“It may be snow blindness.” Weston told her, “This isn’t uncommon in the snow. Come up. I’ll carry you out.”
Stella shook her head. “I can still see a little light. I’ll
walk by myself. Besides, you don’t have much strength left…”
Weston hesitated a little and asked her again, “Can you walk?”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
After that, Weston led the way while Stella followed behind. Stella had always known about Weston’s physical
strength but did not expect him to be this strong. He was more durable than the specialists who had brought them
into the mountains earlier. Even so, Weston’s strength was not unbreakable.
Stella could feel Weston’s strength slipping away. “If I can’t make it out later, you can continue alone…”
Weston cut her off at once with a slightly hoarse and
irritated voice, “Don’t say that again.”
“I’m serious…”
