Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 177

Jack thought that the idea was incredibly childish. “You go ahead. I think I will pass.”

Well, if you say so. It’s impossible to do it alone, though… Mikayla could only proceed with the snowball fight, but just as she was frustrated, she was approached by a few foreigners. “Hey lovely, are you alone?”

Immediately, she looked at them warily and planned to leave, but she was stopped by one of the girls. “Join us! It’s more fun than playing alone.”

When she met their friendly gazes, she changed her mind and agreed to join them because she would be bored, anyway.

Meanwhile, Elise and Alexander skied their way through the peak. Elise stood at the apex and gazed down at the magical and breathtaking winter scenery.

“How I wish I could stay here for a few more days!” Elise sighed from the bottom of her heart. Seeing that she was in a good mood, Alexander quickly added, “If you like, we could stay a few more days here.”

She beamed at him, but right then, she felt a slight tremor from the ground underneath her, and her expression changed to one of shock. “Why is the ground moving?”

He felt it as well, but before he could utter a word, he saw the snow on the mountains opposite them sliding down. “Oh crap! It’s an avalanche!”

A shiver went down her spine, and her mind was filled with the scene of the aftermath. She could feel the snow underneath her feet loosening as she lost her balance and started plunging forward. Frantically, he reached out to grab her.

Around them, the mountains were shifting, and the ground was shaking. The terrifying movement of nature was intertwined with shrill screams from panicked skiers.

He hugged her tight in his arms to protect her, and they both rolled down the slope from the peak.

A long time later, she finally regained her consciousness and moved her stiff arms. Then, she found out that the lower half of her body was buried in snow. She recalled what happened before her blackout, and she was caught by fear. “Alexander! Alexander!”

She called out to him over and over again, but there was no answer except for her empty echoes in the mountains. That moment was filled with intense fear. She got up from the ground and staggered forward. However, after the avalanche, the environment went through a drastic change, with no human being seen around. She plowed forward aimlessly while yelling, “Anyone there?!”

No matter how many times she shouted, no one replied to her. Dragging her exhausted body along, she went on until she found the rest area they had passed by when they first arrived. At that time, the members of the rescue team noticed her. “Hey, look! There’s a lady over there!”

Without wasting a single second, she reached out for help. “Help me! I have a friend with me, but he’s probably buried under the snow. You have to help find him! You must!”

The rescue team staff quickly comforted her, saying, “Now, don’t worry. We will try our best.”

As they spoke, they settled her down before splitting into two teams and making their way up the snowy mountains for the search. Her heart leaped up to her throat as she wallowed in regret. Why did I even say yes to skiing in the first place?

Staring at the landscape of endless snow, she felt her eyes welling up with tears. God, please let Alexander return safe and sound. Please…

A few days passed, and Elise was still staying guard at the foot of the mountains. During the long and soul-crushing wait, she witnessed the rescue team pulling out victims from the snowy grounds, and more than half of those people did not show vital signs.

Elise quickly cut him off. “He’ll be fine. He must still be alive.” She did not know if she was trying to console Danny or herself. When she looked up at the vast snowy mountain in front of her, she had a feeling that Alexander must be alive somewhere. Perhaps he’s still waiting for me to save him!

Staring at the swaths of white, she felt that she could not afford to wait anymore. I have to find him!

She meticulously refreshed the memories from the day of the avalanche. Before she fainted, she could sense the warmth of his body against her. Could it be that he was right beside me all the time? Could I have overlooked him?
