Filed To Story: Cheating with My Boyfriend's Best Friend Novel Read Online (Olive & Aaron)
When my fi**gers hooked onto the rough and sturdy fabric, I trembled with excitement all over.
Like a mad person, I eagerly unzipped the backpack and shakily took out the satellite phone. At this point, I wasn’t even sure if the intense trembling was due to excitement or cold. In any case, because I couldn’t stop trembling, it took me a long time to dial the correct number.
As the ringing sound echoed in my ears, I could hear the pounding of my heart in my ch*st!
I had never been this excited in my life!”Pick up, come on!” The ringing of the phonefelt incredibly long at this moment. I kept urging in a soft voice, but my inner anxiety grew. Why wasn’t anyone answering the call?
Calm down, Olive, don’t be too anxious, be patient!
I tried to soothe myself. “God has brought you a miracle by leading you to the avalanche pack. He wouldn’t let you fall from heaven to hell again.”
However, the ringing continued, and no one answered the call.
My ecstasy faded with each passing second. The previously ignored cold wind became particularly noticeable now.
“Pick up the phone!” I could barely hold onany longer.
It was one thing for email replies to be slow, but at this critical time, they wouldn’t be observing penguins, would they?At this moment, I even wondered if my parents had personally gone to Scott’s Hut to pick me up.
If they had come and couldn’t find me at the designated meeting point, they should be worried by now.
I double-checked the number to make sure I hadn’t dialed it incorrectly. Then I dialed again for the second time.
And once again, I was greeted with a long wait.
The call never got through.
My body had stopped trembling. All the excitement I felt because of the avalanche pack had almost completely vanished by now.
I even felt a sense of absurdity and incredulity.
I looked at the avalanche pack in front of me once again, doubting if it was truly a miracle.I found the avalanche pack and got the satellite phone, but the only people who could save me didn’t answer my call!
If I ended up dying curled up next to the backpack with the satellite phone, then this wouldn’t be a miracle.
It would be a cruel twist of fate!
Since the avalanche started, I had repeatedly swung bet**en euphoria and despair several times.
I wasn’t going insane right now solely because I was strong enough!
No… perhaps I was already going insane!
After the third unsuccessful call, an abnormal calmness washed over my heart.
Even I felt surprised.
But at this moment, I was incredibly calm, calmer than ever before. Calm to the point where I had no emotions at all.I set down the satellite phone, confirming once again that it wasn’t solar-powered, and there was still half of the battery remaining. I continued dialing the phone, but once the call connected, I set it aside and rummaged through the bag, putting on all the clothes I could find to keep myself warm.
Then, I found some medication in the inner pocket.
Aaron insisted on me bringing these items, but I had even mocked him in my mind before. Now I suddenly felt guilty.
I’m sorry, Aaron. Even though you foresaw everything and prepared so many things for me, I won’t be able to thank you.
You didn’t foresee that my parents wouldn’t answer my call… Who could have predicted that?
I probably won’t see you again.
Taking out the backup probe from the bag, Iglanced once again at the satellite phone-still no answer.
With the Avalanche transceiver taken away, the satellite phone was my only means of notifying people nearby for help. All I could do now was to keep calling while ensuring that I was still alive.
I suddenly let out a sneer.
Even I was startled by my laughter. I had never laughed so coldly before. And I was laughing at myself.
The whole idea of coming to Antarctica to talk with my parents was a complete mistake!
Throughout my life, I might have had some grievances towards my parents, but the sum of those grievances was nothing compared to the resentment I felt towards them now!
Yes, I hate them!
There couldn’t be other parents in this world who would treat their children the way they treated me!
Even their beloved penguins hada sense of family, but they were worse than penguins!
They knew I was coming, and now that I was not there, they didn’t even bother to contact me proactively or even answer my calls!
What kind of parents were they?
My suspicion wasn’t exaggerated at all-perhaps they didn’t even come to Scott’s Hut in the first place and were still outside observing penguins!
Otherwise, how could it be that they hadn’t heard the phone call after such a long time?
I wr*pped my clothes tightly around me, watching the battery of the satellite phone slowly decrease.
Every minute and every second passed as I stubbornly stayed in place, dialing that number.
I was pretty sure I had gone mad.
I could have called other emergency numbers, but I was fixated on this particular one.I just wanted to know, when my parents saw so many missed calls and then found their daughter’s remains on the nearby snow-covered mountain, would they feel sad?
Imagining the tears in my parents’ eyes as I lay dying, I found myself both pitiful and laughable.
Like a clown.
“Olive! What’s happening?” Suddenly, avoice rang out from the satellite phone.
My hatred towards my parents reached its peak the moment I heard my mother’s voice.
“Olive! What’s happening?”
Her tone was so calm that no one would have thought she was asking about her missing daughter.
I picked up the satellite phone and held it close to my ear.
“Are you at Scott’s Hut now?” Even I wassurprised by the tone of my voice at that moment. It was so calm, so calm that there was no trace of emotion!
I could have immediately told them about my current situation and asked for their help. But for some reason, more than anything else, I wanted to know the answer to this question. I just wanted to know how important I was to them.I braved the strong winds, deviated from the planned route, and overcame all obstacles just to meet them. But what about them?
“I’m sorry, dear. But there’s a group ofpenguins nearby… Chris took some colleagues to pick you up.
Didn’t you see them?” Over the phone, Kristy’s tone was so calm.
Although she said she was sorry, I couldn’t detect any remorse in her words.
Suddenly, everything seemed so meaningless.
What was the point of coming here? Wasn’t it a long journey for nothing more than suicide? I felt ridiculous!
For a moment, I even thought about hanging up the phone and quietly waiting for death to come.
“Olive, what’s happening? You’ve called meso many times, did something happen to you?” Finally, a hint of concern appeared in Kristv’s tone.”I’m now on the snow-covered mountain nextto Scott’s Hut.
There was an avalanche, and my leg seems to be broken.” I found the GPS coordinates from the satellite phone and reported the latitude, longitude, and altitude to Kristy. “The avalanche transceiver was taken by a scumbag. If you want to save me, just come find me as soon as possible.”
After finishing speaking, I didn’t want to hear anything else from Kristy, so I hung up the phone directly.
I lay back on the snow, gazing at the pure and vast sky, completely emptying my mind. The satellite phone received a callback from Kristy, but I didn’t move.
After all, I had said everything I could say. If my mother still wanted to save me, she shouldn’t be calling me now but contacting Chris immediately.
Soon, she hung up the phone. I guessed she was probably contacting Chris.
But at this point, I didn’t seem to careanymore about when the rescue team would arrive. I was even hoping that they would find my lifeless body when they arrived.
Since my birth was an accident, a burden to my parents, it wouldn’t be too late to fix this mistake now.
I just felt slightly sorry for my friends.
Whether it was Cinder, Nick, Colston, or even Aaron, I was grateful for their presence in my life.
Without them, I would never have grown into the person I was today… although I was not particularly outstanding. At least they made me feel the warmth.
The warmth and affection they brought me exceeded that of my biological parents.
