He Let Me Freeze For His Sweetheart

Synopsis

When our national scientific expedition team attempted to summit Mount Vyrthar, we were caught in a blizzard and suffered from hypothermia. My consciousness blurred from the cold. I reached into my backpack for the custom-made thermal blanket I'd had ordered from abroad—only to find nothing but an ordinary chemical fiber blanket inside. I was just about to demand who'd stolen my gear when my fiancé, Alex Turner, grabbed my arm: "I'm sorry, but I gave your custom thermal blanket to Sophie. She's freezing so badly she can barely stand. You can make do with this for now." I clutched the chemical fiber blanket that offered no protection against the cold, my lips stiff from the frost. "You expect me to freeze to death on this mountain with this? That custom blanket was for saving lives—I had it made specially from abroad! Hypothermia can kill people!" I said. His brows furrowed tightly. "How can you say that? Sophie's a reserve member. It's her first time climbing this high, and she's not as strong. You can't be so heartless." "Summiting Vyrthar is about strength, not showing off your fancy custom gear," I said. Alex said, "My mom was right—you have to fix this stubborn streak of yours. If we're really going to partner up in the future, you can't refuse to take even a little loss, or be unwilling to give up a piece of gear." I stopped talking to him, summoning my last bit of strength to turn on the satellite phone. "Command center, send a rescue helicopter to the 7,800-meter camp immediately to pick me up. Also, terminate the Vyrthar scientific expedition project that I'm collaborating on with Alex."
