Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 127

Three hours later, in the Country M, walking on the thick snow, Liam searched carefully and slowly step by step.

“Liam, a guy from the hotel told me that they haven’t found her.” Jacob’s voice sounded behind him, informing him of the latest news.

Liam held the alpenstock more tightly.

She was not found yet.

The temperature on the mountain was already minus 15 degrees, which meant that a person must suffer from frostbite and may even die.

And Rita’s still there…

Thinking of Rita’s sufferings, Liam’s face turned cold and stern.

“Give me a tracker.”

Jacob took out and handed two of the trackers to him immediately.

Liam asked Jacob to prepare some trackers before they climbed the mountain to cope with the blizzard and the possibility of getting lost in case of emergency so they could be rescued instantly by those who were staying at the foot of the mountain by the accurate location from the tracker if they were in danger.

Liam put the tracker into the pocket and made his decision,

“Now we are in need of more searchers and the search for Rita is not wide enough. So we must be divided into groups to be more efficient.”

“How?” Jacob looked at him confusedly.

“I am one group. You and the driver are another group looking for her towards the west.”

Hearing this, Jacob bit his lips, “No way. The blizzard is so dangerous that you cannot be alone.”

“Jacob…”

“I want to be with you.”

Before Liam replied, Jacob stood by him in a second.

Liam refused seriously, “No. You can’t! Lee is too old. You must keep him safe.”

“…”

A moment later, “Let’s ask someone to come here as his partner. Then you and I are ...”

“That will waste a lot of time. Rita cannot wait.”

Liam gave his rejection determinedly before Jacob told him the whole plan.

Jacob was stupefied. He understood that to Liam, his beloved Rita was the most important and Liam was worried about her very much.

Staying with him for so many years, Jacob was sure that Rita was the only girl whom Liam cared about.

And Liam cared about her so much that Joey was not her rival.

When Jacob was absent-minded, Liam had already struggled towards the north quite far away from him.

So Jacob had no choice but to search for Rita with the driver.

Now on the mountainside, a cold wind blew through Rita who could not help shivering.

After a few second, she gritted her teeth and kept crawling forward.

When she moved a little, however, the pain in her waist passed through her body as if she was attacked by electricity. Her face, red with cold, now turned pale instantly because of the agony.

But she still tried to tough it out.

“You cannot stop here. No! You will die if you stop and lose the warmth and energy.” She murmured to herself with determination, creeping forward. “You must save yourself so that you are able to love your family and enjoy the happiness which you failed to experience in the last incarnation.”

With her willpower, she managed to go forward a mile after a mile.

But the chillness overwhelmed her and she could not continue. Gradually, with numb legs and stiff hands, she was too weak to move completely.

At last, she was even losing her sense of self.

“No! You cannot sleep…”

Although she made all the effort to warn herself, she could not help closing her eyes gently, regardless of the snow landing on her eyebrows, nose and lips.

“Rita! Rita!”

Moments later, hearing someone was calling her name, Rita recovered consciousness and her eyelashes quivered.

It seemed that someone was looking for her.

Was she going to be rescued by someone from the hotel?

Thinking of these, she forced herself to be sober and tried to reply, opening her mouth, but all of her shouts were in vain because her voice sounded like the humming of a mosquito.

In the cold, she was too weak to give any response

At this moment, the calling was far away.

She raised up her hand to draw any attention eagerly but it seemed that the person searching for her walked away and silence surrounded her again.

Rita looked down disappointedly, “…”

“Rita!”

The next moment, a man’s voice, beautiful like the melody of a cello, sounded above her head, which surprised Rita who looked at the man immediately.

When she figured out his angular handsome face, she was astounded.

Liam?

Why was he here? He was supposed to be at home. Was he an illusion of the cold?

Oh, illusion. He must be an illusion.

“Sorry darling, I am late.” Liam was so sorry and he held her up with a broken heart.

She felt the constant warmth from Liam, which made her astonished.

She scanned his gorgeous face with eyes full of surprise.

She could feel the temperature.

That’s true.

He’s not an illusion.

He’s Liam.

He’s the one who came to rescue her.

She lost her mind in excitement until the cold wind blew by her chest which made her shiver.

Now she realized that Liam took off her down jacket, and was ready to take off her mountain wear.

Looking at herself who was only wearing a thermal clothing, she frowned, “What…what are you doing?”

“You need to warm up.” Liam said, unfolding his coat and holding her in to his arms, “Now, you must be warmer.”

“…”

Suddenly, their bodies were stuck together closely.

Although she knew that this was a way to rescue her, she was shy at his masculinity. Her face turned flushed as if it was close to a fire of his body and her heart was beating faster and faster out of her control totally.

The sound of her heartbeats was so loud and she bit her lips severely in order to focus on her pain of the lips instead of the emotion.

Maybe it worked since she calmed down gradually, “I… I think that we had better figure out how to get out of here. Otherwise, you will suffer from cold injury because of me.”

“I have sent our location to Jacob. And he’s sending people here to save us. I think they’ll be here soon.” Rita nodded, looking up at the man. She opened her mouth several times to say something and finally she asked, “Why are you here?”

“I am worried about you.”

His answer was clear and calm, by which she was touched deeply.

“Rita, you said that the necklace would bring people luck.”

As he was speaking attractively, a star necklace was put into her hand. “So I think you must need it now.”

Holding the necklace that was once thrown away by her, she was shocked again.

Wasn’t it thrown into the lake?

Did Liam jump into the water and fetch it?

No. that’s totally impossible.

How would he fish for it in the dirty lake? He could ask others to do it for him.

Thinking of it, Rita was less surprised and became calmer.

But she was still moved and graceful to the man who was supposed to be at home but came here to rescue her.

Therefore, she didn’t resent him as before and the hatred towards him was less.

She took a deep breath and looked at him, “Thank you.”

“…”

A few seconds later, Rita shook the necklace and added, “Liam, the luck that you owed to me is now given back to me. So we are even.”

“No!” He refute her opinion directly, afraid that she would leave him.

She was stupefied, giving him a smile of embarrassment, “Why? You shouldn’t…”

Then she was interrupted because her jaw was suddenly held up by him and she was forced to fix her eyes on his gorgeous face like an angel.

Liam looked at the girl in his arms, told her in a clear way, “Because I love you.”

“What?”

When Rita was surprised and shouted in a low tone, he kissed her lips which were soft and pink like a jelly.

“I love you.”

Hearing the three words, she was stunned with a blank mind.

Liam said that he loved her.

He loved her!
