For His First Love, He Let Me Die in an AvalancheChapter 1
My name was Estelle Norris. The beloved one, Grace Langstaff, of my husband, Dale Kemp, invited me to go skiing, but unluckily, we encountered an avalanche. We were buried in the snowstorm together.
As a rescuer, Dale came to save us immediately.
The snowstorm was too strong, and he said he could only take one person away. He asked me to wait, and I told him I was already pregnant. He kicked me away and told me that the second batch of rescuers would arrive soon.
I crawled desperately from the snowdrift and grabbed his pants, begging him. However, he kicked me away again.
"Grace has asthma and will die if she stays here."
I lost consciousness buried in the snowstorm.
What he didn't know was that I had a congenital heart disease.

Dale carried Grace step by step, getting farther and farther away from me in the snowstorm.
I was buried in snow that was about 3.5 feet tall, desperately seeking help.
The snowstorm grew stronger, and I couldn't keep my balance. I fell straight into the snow.
The snowflakes hit my face, almost blocking my mouth and nose. The feeling of suffocation came in waves, and the shrinking feeling from my heart made me want to curl up in pain.
But my limbs had already been frozen, and my heart was gradually numb. Only the tears in my eyes still had some warmth. I looked straight at the sky and gradually lost consciousness.
Last week, Grace booked two tickets for the ski resort and invited me and her to go skiing together. Yet we encountered an avalanche.
Dale was a rescuer, and he was nearby. I knew he'd definitely come to save me.
Although we just had a fight, we had been together for seven years, and he was not a cold-hearted person.
Besides, I was pregnant. He'd definitely be very careful and wouldn't leave me alone.
But I didn't expect that on this heavily snowy day, he was actually shouting Grace's name in a panic.
And he clearly saw me. In the heavy snow, rescuers were searching for victims everywhere, but only Dale came to the deepest part where Grace and I were.
He picked up Grace who was trapped in the snow. My clothes all over my body had been soaked by the snow water. I dragged my frozen legs forward in the heavy snow, tightly holding onto his clothes,
"Dale, I can't walk anymore."
Dale pushed me away in disgust.
"Still, don't hold onto me. Don't drag me and Grace down with you."
