As the photographer had expected, two hours later, the rescuers really found the stone house and rescued them from the terrible and cold snow- capped mountain.
Hearing others walking outside, Bob immediately ran out to shout for help.
Geoffrey also looked out excitedly at the entrance of the stone house.
Christina gently pushed the man leaning on her and whispered, "Patrick..."
Patrick looked pale.
After returning to the stone house, he lay still in Christina's arms.
Christina didn't think too much.
She just let him lie in her arms and waited for someone to come.
What worried her was that Patrick's wound would get inflamed if they stayed here for too long.
"Patrick," Christina called him again.
Actually, Patrick was awake.
Christina did not realize that it had been a long time since she had called his name in such a caring and calm tone.
After the rescuers noticed the stone house and the fire, everyone in the cave ran out, led by Chandler, "Geoffrey!!"
The voice was filled with anxiety and excitement.
"Dad ! “ Geoffrey ran, stepped on the thick snow, and threw himself excitedly at Chandler ahead.
"I knew you would find me"
With his eyes and nose red, the little boy spoke in a pure and childish voice.
"Are you hurt?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
Chandler was filled with anxiety and held Geoffray tightly in his arms, with tears welling up in his eyes.
"Are you scared? Don't be afraid"
After the avalanche, everyone was so close to death, and the rescuers had dug out several bodies.
Chandler was really afraid of Geoffrey's death.
If something happened to Geoffrey, Chandler really didn't know how to face it.
Christina had mixed emotions when seeing Chandler and Geoffray reunite.
When she had first seen Patrick, she had actually been moved...
But they didn't seem to be so excited.
Chandler carried his son into the dirty and small stone house.
At that time, Christina was helping Patrick stand up.
Then, Chandler reached out to hold her hands tightly and said excitedly.
"Christina, thank you for saving Geoffrey.I was really flustered when hearing of the avalanche.And I was worried and helpless...Later, when Crystal said that Geoffrey was with you, I had hope in my heart.You saved Geoffrey's life.I will remember it forever."
People who encounter disasters would be immersed in the fear of death, while the people looking for them were also confused and helpless in the fear of despair.
Christina was a little embarrassed in face of others’ sincere gratitude.
"Nothing serious.It's my duty to protect him*"
"You just mentioned Crystal, how is Crystal now? Have you found and saved her, haven't you?"
"Crystal was found by us at the top of the mountain.She was covered in a layer of light snow and was fine.After we saved her in time, she woke up quickly.But she had been blaming herself and was especially concerned about you..."
Christina explained seriously, "I asked her to run alone.If Crystal didn't run, I couldn't protect both of them.Don't blame her"
Chandler smiled at her with a guilty look.
"I never blame her."
The moment he found Crystal, to be honest, he really blamed her, an adult, for not taking good care of Geoffrey. He was angry that Crystal was alive while Geoffrey could be alive or dead.
Rescue workers drove several equipped SUVs over, which were equipped with medical equipment.
Two medical staff stepped forward and had a simple exam on the knife wounds on Patrick's back.
Christina let go of Patrick and turned to look at Barbara who was left behind.
Just as Christina walked towards the stone house, the photographer approached Patrick and whispered, "The pain on your back is in vain."
Patrick examined the strange face.
"Who are you?"
The man sneered as if he didn’t want to talk to Patrick, and turned around to go away.
