C127 Because I Love You

Three hours later, in M Nation.

Stomping on the thick layer of snow, Reece walked forward step by step.

"Brother Six, there's no news from the hotel yet." Loran's voice sounded from behind him. The man gripped his walking stick tightly.

No news!

The temperature on the mountain was minus fifteen degrees Celsius. People who stayed in such conditions for a long time would get frostbite or even die from the cold.

Lydia...

Thinking about how serious the situation was, Reece's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Give me one of the tracking devices."

"Oh," Loran replied. He obediently took out two tracking devices and handed them to him.

The blizzard and the unfamiliar terrain made it easy for them to get lost and encounter unexpected situations. Therefore, before they went up the mountain to search for her, the man had asked Loran to prepare tracking devices. If they encountered any sudden situations, the people who were stationed at the foot of the mountain would be able to quickly rescue them.

As Reece stuffed the tracking device into his pocket, he made a decision.

"There are too few people searching for her right now. The search range is also not wide enough. So, from now on, we'll split up and search for her. This will increase the probability of finding her."

"How do we split up?" Loran blinked as he stared at the man.

Hearing that, Loran's mouth twitched. "No! It's too dangerous to go alone!"

"..." "I'll go with Brother Six."

Just as Reece was about to say something, Loran raised his leg and stood on his side.

Reece refused sternly, "No, Theo can't act alone when he's old."

"..."

After a while, he said, "Send someone up to Theo and me, and you and Sixth Brother..."

"It's too much of a waste of time. I can't wait that long."

Before Loran could finish his plan, he was once again rejected by the man.

The corner of Loran's mouth twitched. "..." After all, it seemed that Sixth Bro was worried about his wife, afraid that she would suffer in the snow.

After following Reece for so many years, it was the first time Loran had seen him so concerned about a woman.

Even Maria had never been so concerned about a woman before.

While he was in a daze, Reece had already gone to the east. By the time he came back to his senses, he was already far away.

Helpless, Loran had no choice but to compromise and continue to search westward with the driver.

At this moment, halfway up the mountain.

As the cold wind blew past her, she could not help but shiver.

After a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and continued to crawl forward.

However, every time she moved, the intense pain in her waist would spread throughout her entire body like an electric shock. The girl's face, which was originally red from the cold, instantly lost all color.

Even so, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

"Lydia, you can't stop. You can't! If you stop, you won't have any energy to maintain your body. You will die." Lydia muttered to herself. Her eyes were filled with determination as she crawled forward. "You have to live. Only by living can you be filial and enjoy the good things that you have never enjoyed in your previous life."

She crawled one meter at a time.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't resist the coldness. Soon, her legs were numb, and her hands were stiff. She could not move at all.

In the end, her consciousness became muddled.

"No... I can't sleep."

Lydia warned herself, but her eyes unwillingly closed. She allowed the snow to fall between her eyebrows, nose, and lips.

"Lydia!"

After an unknown period of time, someone called her name. Lydia slowly regained her consciousness and her eyelashes trembled.

It was as if someone was calling her.

Did someone from the hotel come to save her?

Realizing this, she forced herself to wake up. She opened her mouth to answer, but her desperate screams turned into a weak mosquito hum.

She had been frozen for too long, so she was already too weak to respond.

At this moment, the scream gradually faded away.

The girl anxiously tried to raise her hand to attract people's attention, but before she could raise her stiff hand, the man seemed to have already walked far away. The surroundings had returned to silence.

Lydia's eyes drooped in disappointment.

"Lydia!"

In the next second, the man's deep voice fell from above her head. Lydia was startled and looked over.

When she saw the man's clear face, she was stunned.

"..." "Reece?"

Why would that man appear here in the country? Could he have gone crazy from the cold?

Hmm, it must be an illusion.

"I'm sorry, I was late." Reece hugged her guiltily, his eyes filled with pain.

Lydia's eyes widened in shock.

She looked at the man's handsome face, and her reddened eyes were filled with shock.

There was warmth!

This was not an illusion, it was real!

He was Reece!

Someone came to save her!

Lydia was so excited that she couldn't help but shiver when the cold wind blew into her chest.

Only then did she realize that the man had already taken off her down jacket and was now taking off her jacket.

As she stared at the only piece of clothing she had left, her eyebrows furrowed. "What are you doing?!"

"You need to warm yourself up," Reece said as he pulled open his clothes and embraced the girl's ice-like body. "You'll feel warmer this way."

"..."

Suddenly, their bodies were pressed against each other.

Even though she knew that the man was just trying to save her life, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, men and women were different.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The sound of her heartbeat was deafening. Lydia bit her lower lip hard and forced herself to divert her attention.

Perhaps the method had worked, she slowly calmed down. "About that... I think we should think of a way to get out of here. Otherwise, if we keep wasting time, you'll freeze to death."

"I've already sent a location to Loran. He's already sent someone over to pick us up. He should be here soon."

Lydia nodded. "Oh." She raised her head to look at the man on top of her head. Her mouth opened and closed a few times, but in the end, she still opened her mouth. "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried."

Lydia's words were like a bucket of ice water that froze her heart.

"Lydia, you said that this necklace will bring luck to others."

As the man's magnetic voice sounded, a star-shaped necklace was stuffed into her hand. "That's why I want you to have it now."

Holding the necklace that she had thrown away, Lydia was shocked once again.

Wasn't it thrown into the water?

Could it be that Reece had gone into the water to pick her up?

No, that was impossible.

How could he go into the water himself? He only needed to give the order, and someone would naturally pick her up for him.

As she thought about it, the shock in Lydia's eyes faded a little.

However, she was still touched and grateful that the man had come all the way from the country to save her.

Her resentment and anger towards him had also lessened a little.

Lydia took a deep breath and looked up at Reece. "Thank you."

"..."

After a few seconds, Lydia shook the bracelet in her hand and added, "Reece, I lent you my luck back then, and you returned it to me today. From now on, we are even."

"It's not fair." The man rejected her flatly. He was afraid that she would run away if they were to settle the score.

Lydia was stunned. Her smile froze on her face. "Why are you doing this? I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her chin was suddenly pinched by the man. Her watery eyes were forced to look at his face, which had been kissed by God. "???"

Reece looked down at the girl in his arms and spat out five words in a clear voice, "Because I love you."

"What... What?!"

While Lydia was still in a daze, the man covered her pink lips with his lips. "I love you."

When the three words fell, the girl's mind went blank.

Reece said that he loved her?

He... loved her!
