Sweet Divorce

Chapter126 In The Snow

In a hotel of the Country M, “I am so sorry Miss. I am afraid that you cannot board a plane.” The hotel staff declined her request politely and pointed to the heavy snow outside, “All the cars here cannot go out during the blizzard.”

Rita lived in a famous holiday village which was built on the cliff.

Although the only vehicle here was the local bus, many tourists came here to appreciate the beautiful scenes.

When she got off the plane, she was arranged to live here by the commercial partners.

The partners were to treat her well. They thought that they could show her around during the negotiation but unexpectedly, the snow was so heavy that it blocked the whole mountain.

All the cars failed to get on the mountain and people here could not go out.

Rita frowned at the sight of the endless white.

“Miss, I suggest that you should wait until the snow stopped and cars could run freely.” The reminder from the staff sounded beside her ears again. She looked at the staff, “Could I leave this mountain by walking?”

“Well I don’t know. No one did it before.”

“It doesn’t mean that I can’t do it. I will be the first person to do this.”

Rita wore a long down jacket and walked out.

When Rose gave her the work in the Country M, she guessed out there must be a conspiracy but at that time she just thought that it was this business that had some problems.

And she never thought that Rose’s purpose was another one.

It was the whole family, the Brown family.

Although she didn’t know much about the situation of the Brown family, she could guess.

This time her father was in danger after a car accident and Rose and Charlotte must take the chance to ask Uncle Mason to divide the shares or to be the general manager in charge of the whole family.

So she must return as soon as possible.

Not only she had to save their benefits, but also, more importantly, she must keep her parents safe.

“It’s too dangerous! Miss!” The staff stopped her in a hurry, noticing her action.

Because she was worried about parents, she didn’t listen to the staff and kept walking.

The snow on the road was about 40 centimeters thick and she seemed to step on the cotton, which took her more energy to go on.

After half an hour, she just walked one third the trip as usual. Besides, she was so tired that she had to find a place to take a rest.

During the rest, she rang Liam up again.

“Rita.”

The man’s low voice sounded in the phone and Rita was angry, “Why did you lie to me?”

Liam paused at her sudden question.

Noticing his silence, she kept asking, “Liam, my father is in danger. Why did you tell me that he just suffered from broken bones?”

“Who told you?” The man on the sofa narrowed his eyes with cold and annoyance. It seemed that he was ready to tear the person apart.

Feeling his irritation, all the people in the car didn’t dare to breathe.

All of them tried their best to keep silent, afraid that they might annoy him as well.

“It does not matter. What’s important is that you lied to me. You have no reason to do that. I must know how my father is.” Rita began to shout anxiously.

After she yelled, she shocked herself as well.

Besides, the driver and Jacob also got shocked by her.

And the man at the backseat was as usual without any visible emotion.

He said slowly, “I am afraid that you would be worried as you are now.”

His low voice passed through the phone to reach Rita who became calmer and regained her composure.

Indeed, she was too anxious at her father’s injury.

“I am sorry. I was too emotional.” Rita bit her lips and said more softly, “Liam, please help me.”

“Ok.”

“Send some people to protect my father all day long, and keep off the suspicious men and women. Then pick up my mother in the Brown family.” Rita continued walking while speaking. “And tell her not

to be afraid. I will be back soon.”

In the last incarnation, her parents suffered due to her decisions so this time, she would devote her life protecting them.

Because she was determined, she walked faster and the snow she stepped made some noises.

Liam sensed something unusual, asking, “Rita, where are you?”

“I am down the mountain.”

“On foot?”

“The snow blocked the mountain and all the cars failed to come here. So I have to leave it on foot and take a car at the foot of the mountain.”

Rita answered honestly, which made him frowned, “What? Your legs cannot support you. You must return to the hotel now!”

“You must keep my parents safe, please.” Rita ignored his order and gave her requests before hanging up the phone.

She looked at her left leg and smiled bitterly.

Although it ached when it was cold, she would not die of it.

It didn’t matter. As long as she could come back to protect her parents, everything was worthy.

Taking a deep breath, she kept walking forward.

During this time, Liam called her several times determinedly but Rita refused to answer him.

She knew what he’s going to say but nothing could stop her return.

Maybe he understood her decision, he stopped calling her.

In the snow, Rita’s figure was the only black.

Not knowing how long she had walked, she was too cold especially when the cold wind blew. She seemed to be pressed by it which penetrated her coat. She could not help trembling.

Suddenly, Rita fell on the ground.

The road was too slippery that she was rolling down by the gravity until she hit against a tree.

The girl cried out of pain, frowning.

Since she was too painful, she could not move even a finger on the ground.

At this time, the phone rang again.

Looking at the name, Liam, she wanted to pick up the phone but her waist hurt badly and she nearly bit her lips to be bloody.

After several times, she managed to touch the phone.

“Rita, listen to me. Just go back.” Before she answered, Liam spoke.

The girl said weakly, “I am afraid that I can’t.”

“Rita, what happened?”

“I rolled down just now and I got my waist injured. I cannot move now.” She looked at the phone which was running out of battery and said slowly, “My phone is out of battery since it’s too cold. Help me ring

up the hotel…”

Before she finished her speaking, her phone was totally out of battery/

Looking at the black screen, she smiled bitterly.

She didn’t tell him her location. It must take the hotel staff at least two hours to find her.

Lying in the snow for two hours, she might be frozen to ice.

Her life this time was at risk.

Failing to move, she had to close her eyes to save her energy.

At the same time, Liam called her back twice but her phone was off so he connected the hotel to ask them to save her.

Even so, he was still worried.

How’s she?

Is she frostbitten?

Do the hotel staffs save her? NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Liam failed to keep his calm face as usual and became unsettled.

Suddenly, he ordered, “Turn back.”

“Where are we going?” Jacob was confused.

Liam held the necklace in his hand firmly, “The airport.”

He must save her.
