Chapter 1276: Chapter 1279

Stella heard nothing.

When she woke up again, all she saw was a world of darkness. There was no hint of light for a long time.

It took her a long time to realize that she was blind.

When she opened her eyes, she heard some anxious voices around her.

“Stella, you’re awake! You scared me…”

It was Yvonne’s voice.

Stella paused a little before asking Yvonne with a hoarse voice, “Where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital. You were saved from the snowing mountains. Don’t worry. You’re fine now. Oh, rig ht. Roger was in intensive care for two days, but he’s fine now. I guess he’ll be able to see you soon…”

Stella listened and interrupted her, “How long have I been asleep?”

“You were unconscious for almost three days. I was so anxious about you that I jumped when I saw the n ews. Fortunately, Angelina is there to help with Emma and Elias, or I’d be even more anxious…”

Yvonne kept talking about the same thing back and forth. Stella roughly understood the events of the pas t two days, but she did not hear a certain someone’s name from her story.

Stella did not ask. She fumbled around and struggled to sit up.

Yvonne helped her up and urged her, “Be careful.”

Someone suddenly pushed open the door to the ward. Then, Stella heard the sound of footsteps that foll owed.

Stella was on edge, a little nervous.

“You may have snow blindness. We’ve checked. It didn’t hurt your eyes and your vision will probably heal in time.”

When the man spoke, Stella immediately knew it was someone else. She was a little disappointed that it was not Weston’s voice.

Lucas saw her face fall instantly and asked her, “Is something wrong?”

“No.” Stella shook her head.

However, Yvonne saw what was on Stella’s mind and asked her, “Are you worried about Weston?”

The ward fell into a dead silence after the question. No one spoke first. At last, Stella heard Lucas let out

a laugh. His sneer consisted of many complex meanings. Stella could recognize the mockery, sarcasm, a nd other emotions she feared thinking about.

She asked in a trembling voice, “How is he?”

“He’s fine. It’s just that when they found him, he was frozen to the ground.”

Lucas said indifferently, “I heard about the rescue. When the rescue team said you can only pick one, did you choose Roger without hesitation?”

Stella pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

“Well, I can understand. One is your ex–husband who’s stalking you, while the other is your cherished family member. It’s normal to choose family.”

Lucas was just a little upset with Weston’s situation, but he understood Stella’s decision.

Yvonne could not help but glare at Lucas. “What nonsense are you saying? Weston also chose Guinevere before!”

“So they’re even.” Lucas closed the file in his hands and patted Yvonne’s head. “If you have any problems, come straight to me. Now that “You should leave. Don’t disturb us.”

After Lucas left, Yvonne quickly told Stella, “Don’t listen to him. He always talks like that. It’s not nice…”

Stella nodded. After a long time, she slowly looked up at Yvonne. She was not looking in Yvonne’s directio How is he now?”

Yvonne did not answer. After a long silence, she let out a weak sigh.

Stella twisted the blanket beneath her at once. “Is… he dead?”
