C126 I'm Afraid I Won't be Able to Go Back!
In a hotel in M Nation.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but I'm afraid you won't be able to board the plane now." The blonde-haired, blue-eyed employee politely rejected her request. He pointed at the snow outside and said, "The car won't be able to leave during the blizzard."
Lydia was staying in a high-end resort near the cliff.
Although she could only use the local bus to get in and out of the resort, the beautiful scenery and the excellent service made many tourists stay here.
The moment she got off the plane, she was arranged to stay here by her partner.
The partner was kind enough to bring the people from the Ellis Group to sightsee around M Nation. However, they did not expect to encounter a blizzard.
The car could only get to the foot of the mountain, but it could not get in, and the people could not get out either.
Lydia looked at the endless white snow and frowned.
"Miss, let's wait until the snow stops. We can get in and out of the car when the snow stops." The gentle reminder of the hotel staff rang in her ears again. She looked away from the snow and asked, "Can the car get in or can the people walk out of the mountain?"
"No one has tried it before..."
"It doesn't mean that there is no chance of success if no one has tried it before. Then I'll be the first one to eat the crab."
Lydia picked up a long winter coat and walked out.
When Theresa had intentionally handed over the M Nation business mission to her, she knew that there must be a conspiracy behind it. However, she had thought that she had done something to this business.
However, she never expected that her opponent would play a trick on her.
It turned out that the Violet and her mother were really staring at the Ellis family.
Although she didn't know much about the current situation in the Ellis family, she could guess most of it.
This time, her father was in a critical condition due to a car accident. The mother and daughter would definitely use this opportunity to incite her second uncle to split the shares or let her second uncle take over the general manager position to control the entire Ellis family.
Therefore, she had to go back as soon as possible.
Not only did she have to defend her rights, but she also had to protect her parents.
"Miss Ellis, it's very dangerous for you to go down the mountain like this. Miss Ellis!" The waiter saw that she was really going to walk down the mountain, so he hurried forward to stop her.
Because she was concerned about her parents, Lydia did not listen to the hotel staff's advice and insisted on going down the mountain.
The forty-centimeter thick snow on the road made it seem as if she was stepping on cotton. It was naturally much more strenuous for her to walk.
In half an hour, she had only walked a third of the way. Not only that, but she was also panting from exhaustion. She had no choice but to find a place to rest.
While she was resting, she dialed Reece's number again.
"Lydia."
The man's deep voice sounded from the phone. The girl's eyes darkened slightly. "Why did you lie to me?"
"…" Reece paused when he heard the question.
Seeing that he was silent, Lydia asked coldly, "Reece, why did my dad lie to me about his broken bones?"
"Who told you that?" The man on the sofa narrowed his eyes. The coldness in his eyes threatened to tear the person who had told him the secret into pieces.
The people in the car were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.
They all lowered their presence in fear that they might accidentally anger the man and burn themselves to death.
"Who said it wasn't the main point? The main point is, why did you hide it from me? What right do you have to hide it from me? I have the right to know about my father's condition!"
After she shouted, she was shocked by her own mistake.
Not only was she shocked, but the driver and Loran were also shocked.
The man on the back seat still had the same expression on his face. His deep, bottomless black eyes showed no emotion.
He opened his mouth slightly and said, "I'm afraid that you're worried and anxious like this."
The man's deep, low voice passed through the phone and fell into Lydia's ears. The anger in her heart was instantly suppressed by half. Her rationality and calmness once again occupied her mind.
Indeed, because of her father's injury, her emotions were a little messed up.
"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." Lydia pursed her lips and said softly, "Reece, can you do me two things?"
"Tell me."
"First, send someone to the hospital 24 hours a day to accompany her. Don't let any unreliable people or nurses get close to her. Second, go to the Ellis family and bring my mother here." As she spoke, she stood up and continued to walk forward. "Tell my mother... Don't be afraid. I'll be back in the country soon."
In her previous life, her parents had suffered because of her stubbornness. In this life, she would do everything in her power to ensure their safety and health.
Because of the strong conviction in her heart, her footsteps could not help but quicken. The snow beneath her feet creaked.
Reece could tell what was going on and asked, "Lydia, where are you?"
"Down the mountain."
"On foot?!"
"There's no way a car can get here in the heavy snow. I can only walk down the mountain and take a taxi."
Lydia answered truthfully, but the man's eyebrows furrowed. "Stop fooling around. Your legs can't take it. Go back to the hotel immediately!"
"I'll leave my parents' safety to you. Please." Lydia ignored the man's order and hung up the phone decisively.
She lowered her head and glanced at her left leg, her lips curled into a faint smile.
It was just a leg that would hurt when it got cold. It didn't matter if it hurt, as long as she could get back to her parents as soon as possible and protect them.
Taking a deep breath, the girl continued to walk forward.
During this period of time, Reece had also stubbornly made countless calls, but Lydia had hung up on him one by one.
She knew what he was going to say, but she really couldn't change her determination to return to the country.
Perhaps it was because he saw that she was determined, but he gradually stopped calling her.
In the midst of the snow, her stubborn back was a dazzling black.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, her entire body was completely frozen. When the cold wind blew, it was as if an icicle had pierced through her down jacket and nailed her body. It was cold and painful, and she couldn't help but tremble.
"Ah!"
Luckily, she was still standing.
The slope was so steep that she rolled down the slope until she crashed into a tree. She could only stop when she hit a tree.
Lydia was speechless.
The girl groaned in pain, her face contorted in agony.
She lay on the snowy ground, not daring to move.
At this moment, her phone rang again.
Seeing the words "Reece", Lydia raised her hand to pick up her phone, but her waist hurt so much that she almost bit her lower lip.
After a few tries, she finally touched the answer button with her fingertips.
"Lydia, listen to me and go back." Before she could speak, Reece spoke first.
The girl weakly said, "I'm afraid I can't go back."
"Lydia, what happened?"
"I slipped and hit my waist, so I can't move." Lydia raised her hand to look at the phone that was about to turn off. She slowly said, "It is too cold outside. My phone is running out of battery. Help me call the hotel's rescue number. I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her phone was switched off.
Looking at the black screen, the girl couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She had hung up before she could even say the direction. Even if the hotel received the news and sent someone to save her, it would take two hours.
Lying in the snow for two hours, she was afraid that she would freeze to death.
It seemed that her life and death would be decided by the heavens.
Unable to move, she could only lie in the snow and wait.
...
At the same time, on the other end of the phone, Reece called Lydia twice, but both times, the phone was switched off. He then quickly contacted the hotel where Lydia was staying and asked them to send people down the mountain to search for her.
Even so, he was still worried.
How was she now?
Would she be frozen to death?
Had the people in the hotel gone to look for her?
At this moment, a calm and collected Reece was extremely restless.
Suddenly, he raised his head and ordered, "Turn around!"
"... Sixth Bro, where are we going?" Loran asked in confusion.
The man gripped the star necklace in his hand tightly. "The airport!"
He was going to look for her.
