Chapter 1251
Back when she was young, every time she was on holiday with her parents, they would always travel to tourist
spots where the climate was mild and temperate. They had never gone to places as bitingly cold and extreme as
this.
In the three years that she was abroad, she had basically spent all of her time with her children. She practiced
playing the piano in the remaining time she had left. All in all, it had almost been forever since she last enjoyed
herself, which was why this place filled her with a sense of wonder and excitement.
“It’s so cold here, and even grass doesn’t grow. What do those cows and sheep eat?”
“There is a layer of vegetation under the snow and ice, enough for the livestock to keep themselves full even during
winter, although the conditions are obviously very severe.”
They continued until suddenly; they saw a sheet of melting ice.
Bradley stopped in his tracks.

“Nothing,” Bradley frowned. He turned to the shepherd beside him and asked, “I remember being here last year,
and the ice and snow were still frozen. Why is it thawing so early?”
“Climate change,” replied the shepherd who had been their guide during the tour in a thick local accent. “The ice
and snow melt a lot earlier now. Usually, it would be quite cold this time of year, but it’s much colder than usual
now.”
With some effort, Stella somewhat understood what he was saying.
The melting of ice and snow actually cooled the air, making it much colder than when everything was still frozen.
No wonder the further they walked, the more the down jacket she was wearing seemed insufficient to protect her
from the cold.
Bradley noticed her looking a little off, so he asked, “Why don’t we head back for now?”
Stella still wanted to go a little further. After all, she had never been to a place like this before. But suddenly, she felt
a big hand wrapped around her waist. Weston quickly pulled her into his arms, preventing her from taking a step
further.
“It appears the conditions today are unsuitable to proceed,” he whispered in her ear. “You should head back and
rest in your condition.”
If he had not suddenly appeared, Stella would have forgotten that he’d been following her all this time.
“If you can’t bear it, you can go ahead and leave,” she argued. “Don’t mind me.”
She had planned to head back initially, but when she heard what Weston was saying, she simply couldn’t help but
feel the urge to rebel.
What right did he have to expect her to listen to him?
She brushed his hands off and walked defiantly ahead.
Weston frowned at the sight of her walking away, looking as if he had something to say. But when he saw Stella’s
stubborn and determined look, he swallowed all his words and just quietly followed her.
Because they were surrounded by other professionals, Bradley decided not to say anything. Besides, they were still
very far from the danger zone and still had time anyway, so there should be no problem, even if Stella wanted to

They hadn’t walked on very far when Stella suddenly stopped and turned to Bradley, asking him, “Are you okay?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” said Stella. “But if you’re tired, then we should probably head back.”
Bradley chuckled when he realized that Stella was looking for an excuse to return to the tents.
“Now that you mention it,” he nodded, “I do feel a little unwell. Perhaps it’s altitude sickness. Why don’t we go back
for now?”
Stella sighed in relief. She turned to Weston with a stern look on her face and said, “Someone’s feeling unwell, so
we should head back now, but if you still want to continue on, then go on ahead.”
She then turned away from him as soon as she finished speaking.
Weston had no other choice but to hurry after her and say, “Why would I go on if you’re leaving now?”
“It sounds like you’re only here because of me,” she scoffed. “So you’re saying that you’ll do whatever I do and go
wherever I go?”
Weston stood in front of her, looking into her eyes as he said, “Yes.”
