On January 17th, the Turner family people returned to Sapphire City. Sophia accompanied Olivia to register at school. Before Sophia went overseas, Olivia prepared to go home every day and sleep with Sophia in her room at night.
On January 20th, Trevon brought Sophia, Terrell, and the ten bodyguards onto the private plane. They headed to the snow mountain and brought several bags of equipment.
One bag contained tools for cutting down trees, as well as tools just in case. The other bag contained tents, the down sleeping bags, and some warm equipment. There were also some regular medicines and so on. It was very complete.
Indeed, as Trevon said, they were going on a tour, not an adventure.
Before leaving, Sophia asked Jasper and Ruby to choose a good day. To let Sophia recover better, Ruby chose three days for Sophia to choose from. One was May 20th, one was October 1st, and the last was New Year's Day.
Sophia did not want Jasper and Ruby to wait too long, so she chose May 20th. This day was also the day Jasper and Ruby started dating, which was very meaningful. She believed she could let go.
At that time, she would happily attend the wedding. If she could still return to the battlefield...
Looking at the plane taking off, Natalie raised her head and cried. Jasper reached out to hug his mother and said in a low voice, "Mom, I'm here. Don't worry."
Natalie put her arm around Jasper's waist and took a deep breath. "Let's go. You need to go to work with Ruby. I'll go back and tell your grandma and grandpa."
Jasper was worried about his mother and prepared to send her back to the Wilson's residence before going to the company. "Okay, I'll send you back."
Seeing that Jasper's tone was firm, Natalie didn't insist. She held Jasper's wrist with one hand and Ruby with the other and walked out.
Trevon did not tell Frank and Hackett that he was leaving today. He did not want it to be too sad when he left.
However, little did they know that the cars of Frank and Hackett were already parked in the parking lot outside the airport. They had also watched the private plane soar into the sky.
Seeing Natalie, Jasper, and Ruby come out, Frank, half bent against the door, put out his cigarette and stood up. He nodded at Natalie.
Hackett went forward and said a few words to Natalie. Natalie nodded. "Got it. If there's anything, I'll call you. Go ahead with your business."
Frank opened the car door and stopped for a few seconds. He held the door frame with one hand and seemed to have thought of something. He handed a phone to Jasper. "I'll leave the mecha team to you. Call me if you need anything."
Jasper held the black phone that Frank had given him. After a few seconds of silence, he stuffed the phone into his pocket and replied, "Got it, Uncle Frank."
Ruby and Jasper sent Natalie back to the Wilson's residence. Hackett and Frank went to the company. Since Trevon was not in Athana, as his good friends, they had to take care of his family often.
A few hours later, the private plane hovered directly at the top of the snow mountain. The cabin door opened. The raging wind made one feel like knives were cutting their faces. Terrell grabbed the rope and landed first. The second person to go down was Sophia. She was also very agile and was not inferior to Terrell in speed. Trevon was the last to come down, followed by ten bodyguards, all carrying backpacks on their backs.
The bodyguards shivered from the cold. They suddenly yawned and shrunk their necks.
Trevon also couldn't help but shiver. His lips trembled as he zipped up his down jacket to the top. He then turned around and zipped Sophia's black down jacket up to the top.
As far as the eye could see, it was endless white. The trees around them were not green at all. They were all white. The trunks were coffee-colored. From the nearby branches, one could see that the bark had cracked from the cold.
The snow had already reached their calves, which showed how thick it was. Trevon looked around and felt this place was nice because it was empty and habitable. He ordered, "Let's do it here. First, deal with the snow on the ground and empty a place to set up our tents."
Terrell skillfully placed his backpack on the ground. Then, he took out a shovel from another large bag. He handed one to Sophia. "Try it. Shoveling snow can help reduce stress."
Sophia took it and exhaled for a long time. "Thank you, Terrell."
"It'll be warm when we move. After we set up the tent and start a fire inside, the temperature inside the tent will be 86°F different from the outside. We can even wear short sleeves when we hide inside," Terrell told Sophia what he had experienced while shoveling snow.
"Will there be wolves and wild beasts here tonight?" Sophia held a shovel and shoveled the snow seriously as she chatted with Terrell. Her father was right. Snow seemed to be able to cleanse the soul. At this moment, all she could feel was the coldness.
The thick snow had long buried the grass on the ground. It was white everywhere. With a gentle shake of the withered tree trunk, lots of snow would fall.
The snow had always felt comfortable and peaceful.
And these trees in the snowy mountains gave the impression of perseverance. Even when the wind blew hard, they stood upright.
