An avalanche during an Antarctic expedition, I desperately saved my wife but ended up staying behind in the frozen wilderness forever. After the incident, my wife couldn’t find me and mistakenly believed I had abandoned her and ran away on my own. She threw herself into another man’s arms, crying, “Ernest, if it weren’t for you, I would never have survived. I’m going to divorce him and be with you!” Later, our expedition was officially recognized by the Guinness World Records. As a result, my wife signed a contract with the Antarctic research team and became their tour guide for the expedition. However, on the way to Antarctica, another avalanche struck. The snow carried out my body, and the truth was exposed. My wife knelt in front of my body and cried uncontrollably, feeling as though her life was worse than death. At the Guinness World Records award ceremony, I watched as my wife, Amanda Collier, accepted the award with a bitter smile on my face. Our team of five, with me as the leader, made the record-breaking journey. During the polar night in Antarctica, we trekked across the entire phenomenon of the Antarctic polar night. This achievement filled a gap in human history, earning us recognition from the Guinness World Records. Danger had surrounded us the whole way. But thanks to the route I had planned, we were almost at the finish line. Just as I was about to feel relief, a massive avalanche struck, and I desperately saved Amanda. But I was buried forever in the snow. I thought, “Now, here I am, only a spirit remains.” A reporter at the ceremony asked, “Ms. Collier, you’ve become a world-renowned female explorer, and many young women look up to you as an idol. Do you have any advice for them?” Amanda smiled at the camera. “When choosing a partner, make sure to be wise. Only in times of crisis do you see true feelings. “This trip to Antarctica also made me realize the true nature of my ex-husband. I want to thank Ernest for saving me.” I couldn’t help but bitterly smile. When Amanda was rescued, she didn’t see me. She searched everywhere for me. Ernest Bates, seeing this, added fuel to the fire, claiming I had abandoned her and even showed a video. In the video, it looked like I was running away, and he took credit for saving Amanda. Amanda, furious, filed for divorce as soon as she got home. Now, a year later, she was finally single again. Sensing a chance to stir things up, the reporter asked, “Ms. Collier, we understand you’ve just completed your divorce proceedings. “Do you have no lingering feelings for your ex-husband?” At this, Amanda’s expression immediately darkened. “No! And now, I want to use this moment to tell him through your cameras! “Walter Fuller, back when the avalanche happened, you abandoned me and ran off! You even hid from me for an entire year! Now that the divorce is finalized, I have nothing to do with you anymore!” Hearing this, the viewers in the live stream began to lash out at me. [He took his girlfriend to Antarctica but ran away when things got tough. Disgusting!] [As the saying goes, “When disaster strikes, couple would choose their separate ways.” How true this is!] The reporter, noticing the spike in online reactions, asked another question. “After the avalanche, Mr. Fuller was never seen again. Ms. Collier, do you think it’s possible Mr. Fuller died in Antarctica?” Amanda shook her head. “Not to mention that I have video evidence proving he ran away. “He was also wearing a life-monitoring device, and I can see that his body is perfectly healthy now.” Upon hearing this, I couldn’t help but bitterly smile. If Amanda had cared even a little, she would have noticed that I truly disappeared that night, lost forever in the beautiful Antarctic snow. At that moment, Ernest stepped onto the stage and knelt down on one knee in front of everyone. “Amanda, from now on, let me be your husband. I’ll protect you in difficult times and walk with you through happiness for the rest of our lives, okay?” The entire room erupted in applause. Seeing this, Amanda nodded fiercely with tears in her eyes. “From the moment you saved me from the avalanche, I knew you were the one I was meant to be with!” Immediately after, she and Ernest kissed passionately. As I watched this, my face turned pale, and it felt like my heart had been shattered into a thousand pieces of glass.
After the proposal, the event moved on to the next agenda. This wasn’t just the site of the Guinness World Records ceremony. It was also the signing ceremony for Amanda and the Antarctic research team. Afterward, she would lead the team across Antarctica to study the polar night phenomenon and film a documentary about it. The signing went smoothly. A month later, Amanda and Ernest arrived to meet the research team. However, when Amanda saw one of the team members, she frowned. “Victor, what are you doing here?” Victor Donovan sneered, “I’m a research team member, too. Why can’t I be here? I’m going to Antarctica to uncover the truth! “Amanda, for the whole year, you’ve been saying that Walter abandoned you when you were in danger. You said he was still alive, but I’ve waited a whole year for him, and he hasn’t shown up! “You said he abandoned you and has been avoiding you. But why is he avoiding me?” Watching this, I sighed. Victor was my friend, the youngest research member of the Antarctic team. When I went to Antarctica, he asked me to collect some scientific samples. I never expected that I would end up permanently buried in the frozen ground after getting the samples. After my death, the person most concerned about me was Victor. He had come to Amanda several times, asking about my whereabouts. But she always chased him away and even reported him for sexual harassment. It almost cost him his position in the research team. Seeing the situation, Ernest spoke up calmly, “Victor, the route Amanda and I took last time was too dangerous. Even we nearly died in the avalanche. “So this time, the route was re-planned by me. We won’t follow the same path as last time.” Hearing this, Victor grew furious. “You just want to cover up the truth! Walter must have been killed by you!” Amanda responded coldly, “You may be the expert in research, but we are the professionals when it comes to outdoor exploration. “If Walter had listened to Ernest last time, we wouldn’t have faced the avalanche. “He was still a beginner, and now look at you.” At those words, I felt a rush of anger. Ernest was actually my apprentice. He had only started outdoor exploration a year ago. I would never have taken him along if it weren’t for Amanda insisting on bringing him to Antarctica. His proposed route seemed closer and safer, but in reality, it was full of dangers. That path would lead the team through mountains full of snow wolves and across perilous rivers. Any misstep could have resulted in casualties. Meanwhile, the route I had planned was actually quite safe. We never would’ve faced any issues if not for the unexpected avalanche. Amanda didn’t trust my ten years of outdoor experience but instead believed Ernest, who had just started exploring outdoors a year ago. It was truly laughable. At that moment, David Hayden, the professor of the research team, immediately stepped in and pulled Victor back. “Don’t worry. Leave the professional matters to the experts. “We will follow your route strictly.”
Soon, under the protection of helicopters, they reached the frozen land of Antarctica. Amanda immediately spoke up. “From now on, everyone must strictly follow what Ernest and I say, or else we might run into trouble, understand?” The members of the research team all nodded in agreement. Even Victor nodded. On the first day, they made it through the outskirts of Antarctica safely. The second day went smoothly as well. But on the third day, things started to go wrong. They had entered the hunting grounds of a wolf pack. The male members of the research team carried hunting rifles, cautiously keeping an eye on the wolves. In the center of the group, Victor’s face darkened as he confronted Amanda. “It’s only the third day, and we’ve already got wolves tracking us. Based on their behavior, they’ll likely follow us for a while. We won’t be able to continue our research like this! “How did you plan this route?” Amanda’s expression was just as grim. “This might be an accident. We didn’t expect the wolves to migrate here.” Ernest shrank behind Amanda, too scared to speak. “Alright, maybe this wolf pack just ended up here by accident,” David spoke up, trying to calm the tension. “If we keep going, maybe they’ll move on in a few days.” Victor finally fell silent. On the fifth day, one of the male team members fell ill. Immediately, a snow wolf charged toward them. Bang! Ernest fired and killed the wolf. Just as he expected praise from Amanda, the others immediately scolded him. “Don’t you know you can’t just shoot in Antarctica? What if you trigger an avalanche? “Plus, gunshots won’t drive the wolves away. They’ll only make them more aggressive. You’re even worse than a newbie!” Amanda quickly stepped in, shielding Ernest. “He was just trying to help. He didn’t expect things to turn out this way.” I watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter. If the problem had been caused by the route I planned, she’d probably have already yelled at me. She wouldn’t have made excuses for me. But when it came to Ernest, she was much more forgiving. Victor’s expression darkened further. “Mr. Hayden, I think we should cancel this mission. “If we keep going, someone might end up dead. We can sacrifice our lives for research, but we can’t afford to lose anyone over something like this!” David hesitated for a moment. “This mission has already seen significant investment from above. “It would be a huge waste to abandon it halfway.” Victor grew more urgent. “But if we don’t retreat now, what if things get even more dangerous? Then it will be too late!” At this point, Amanda spoke coldly. “Victor, you’re just scaremongering! “Research in Antarctica is already incredibly dangerous. If we retreat just because of a small setback, then I don’t think you should have come here in the first place!” I knew Amanda was worried that turning back now might hurt her reputation. Victor’s face was dark with anger. “A small setback? Do you want us to wait until someone gets mauled by wolves before you’ll agree to leave?” David seemed to soften slightly at those words. Amanda gritted her teeth and snapped, “You’re just trying to force me into following the path of the previous team leader, aren’t you? “Fine, let’s go! Mr. Hayden, let’s take the route we used before. Now you should be satisfied, right?” David nodded. “The route we took before should be much safer. Let’s continue.” Victor didn’t object anymore. I knew he didn’t fully trust Amanda or Ernest, but he trusted me. After all, when the whole internet was criticizing me for abandoning my wife and running off, he still believed I wasn’t that kind of person. As they followed my route, things became much safer. The wolf pack withdrew on the fifth day. The team set up camp and resumed their research. A month later, they had completed their research goals and continued their journey across Antarctica. I stood beside Amanda, staring at the distant snow-covered mountains. My body was buried somewhere out there. But my body had been covered by thick layers of snow and ice, with no chance of ever being found. “Is this the place where you guys were caught in the avalanche?” Victor asked, walking over and suddenly speaking up. Amanda sneered, “Yes, this is where Walter abandoned me. Aren’t you curious if he died here? “You can go look for him now.” She continued coldly, “I’d also like to see if that man who left me behind can be found here.” Victor’s face darkened at her words. At that moment, a member of the research team walked over from the distance. “Mr. Hayden, we found a seal nearby that seems unusual. It’s too quiet here… what if…” David frowned upon hearing this and immediately gave the order. “Everyone, gather up. Hold your guns tight. Let’s go check it out together.” The atmosphere quickly became tense. The team members with guns spread out around the area, carefully scanning their surroundings. Soon, they spotted the unusual seal. “What’s that on the seal? Could there be someone nearby?” Victor asked, puzzled. “Grab it and take a look, but don’t shoot,” Amanda said, furrowing her brow. The team worked together to catch the seal, and to their surprise, they found a sensor stuck to its body. Victor’s eyes widened in shock. “Wait! Isn’t this the same one Walter wore a year ago?”
“I’ve seen this design before, it’s definitely his! Walter must be dead, and this device got attached to the seal after he died!” Saying this, Victor grabbed the sensor and suddenly looked up, glaring at Amanda. “Amanda! How do you explain this?” Ernest stepped forward, frowning. “Impossible. I saw him running away with my own eyes. You must be mistaken. These devices are common among explorers.” Amanda sneered in response, “That’s right. It couldn’t be his. The avalanche was to the north. We’re in the south now. This must be from someone else who got lost.” Victor suddenly smiled, and tears streamed down his face. “This device has initials engraved on it, WF! “Amanda, what’s your excuse now? Walter is dead! You killed him!” Amanda stared at the initials WF on the device, her entire body freezing in shock. “It’s not possible! This is just a coincidence!” Victor gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fury. “The evidence is right here, and you’re still pretending!” At that moment, another body was discovered, though its identity was unrecognizable. Victor’s eyes immediately locked onto a sports camera on the body. “Once the video comes through, I’ll see how you try to deny it!” As soon as he finished speaking, the team members quickly set up the monitoring equipment, and the video footage started to play. But the screen was filled with green light and static, and the sound was harsh and jarring. One of the researchers scratched his head. “Looks like it’s broken?” Seeing this, Amanda snorted, “Even if Walter turned to dust, I would still recognize him. This body isn’t him!” Ernest nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Walter abandoned us and ran to the north. Even if he’s dead, his body shouldn’t be here.” Victor clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot. Amanda sneered again, “That bastard Walter always said he loved me so much, but when the avalanche happened, I was left unconscious, all alone! “He abandoned me because I slowed him down! If Ernest hadn’t saved me, I might have died! This selfish, heartless scum couldn’t have just died like that! “The body on the ground isn’t his!” Upon hearing this, many of the research team members were moved by her words and angrily condemned me. At that moment, the team member who had been working on the equipment suddenly looked up with a bright expression. “It’s fixed! Come and see, everyone!” The group quickly gathered around. Amanda looked at the figure appearing on the screen, sighed, and explained, “These are the other two teammates who were with us on the expedition. During the avalanche, they were outside collecting fresh water, so we lost contact with them. “I had been praying they were just separated from us, but I never imagined their bodies would be found so close. “It looks like they survived the avalanche, but after getting separated from us, they lost their gear, couldn’t stay warm, and died. Victor, they aren’t Walter you’re looking for.” Seeing her reaction, I sighed, too. After the avalanche, I was really worried about these two teammates. Since my camp had a snow barrier, I went out immediately to look for them. That was how Ernest ended up with the video he was holding. “But what is up with this sensor? “Did it fall off when he was running away and get stuck on a seal?” Amanda stared at the small device in her hand, her brows furrowed in confusion. Hearing this, Victor scoffed in frustration, “Amanda! How can human and animal monitoring data be the same?! You can’t even figure this out! Did you really care about Walter?” Hearing him, I also gave Amanda a wry smile and asked, “Yeah, did you really care about me?” After saying this, I shook my head. But of course, she didn’t hear me. However, in the next moment, Amanda’s face hardened. “Of course, I cared about him.” I froze. “I once saw him as my one and only. I love him more than anyone. I was willing to die for him. “But him? When things got tough, he left me behind and ran off on his own! Victor, tell me, does such a person deserve my love, my care?” As she spoke, Amanda’s eyes reddened. I dropped to my knees in the snow, grabbing my hair and screaming, “Amanda! I didn’t abandon you! I swear I didn’t abandon you!!” But all I received in return was the sound of the cold, biting wind. I turned my hopeful gaze toward Victor, hoping my friend would explain things to her because he knew what my true purpose in going to Antarctica was. Victor sighed, “Amanda, if I tell you that Walter crossed the polar night with you, it was because he wanted to declare his love for you to the whole world when the polar dawn came… “Then, do you still think he would abandon you?” Amanda froze, her mouth opening but no words coming out. At that moment, a team member excitedly shouted, “Wait, there’s more footage!”
