Just as she made two steps forward, she was suddenly reminded about something, so she stopped and turned
around, looking at Sean.
Sean was still lying on the ground, motionless. It was unknown to her if he was alive or dead.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she turned around and walked toward Sean.
The last bit of humanity left in her prevented her from leaving Sean just like that.
Hence, regardless of whether Sean was alive or dead, she couldn't just leave him there.
Natalie walked up to where Sean was lying with much difficulty and squatted down despite the pain. Slowly, she
reached out her hand to Sean.
She was delighted when she sensed the warmth in Sean's body. Right away, she proceeded with checking his
breathing.
“He's still breathing!” Natalie exclaimed excitedly and pushed Sean lightly. “Sean, wake up!”
Still, Sean lay there, unconscious and inert.
Natalie couldn't check the condition of his injury in the dark, but seeing as he remained senseless even as he was all
soaked in the heavy rain, his injuries must be much severer than hers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie had no choice but to hold him up and take him together with her as she searched for a shelter.
All of a sudden, her hand caught hold of a hard object. It seemed to be a cell phone.
Natalie's eyes brightened up, and she quickly reached out to fish for it. When she finally drew it out, it was indeed a
cell phone. As soon as she pressed the power button, the screen lit up.
Natalie almost teared up in joy. “This is great! It's not spoiled and still functioning.”
Having a functioning cell phone meant that she could use it to contact Shane to rescue them.
Nonetheless, she felt her last ray of hope dashed, and the smile on her face froze in an instant as she saw the
display showed that there was no sim card.
It took her some time to regain her composure, and she let out a bitter laugh as though succumbing to her fate.
Even though the phone couldn't get her connected to the outside world, it could be used for illumination.
Natalie turned on the torchlight feature on the phone and held Sean in her arms as she trod forward slowly. After a
while, she came to a cave.
Natalie took Sean into the cave for shelter.
Nevertheless, not long after she stepped in, she was so drained of energy that she collapsed together with Sean to
the ground. She fell unconscious again.
It was still raining.
In the campsite at the foot of the mountain, Silas watched the driving rain outside with a heavy heart.
We've taken such a long time searching, and yet madam was nowhere to be found. She might still be alive, but it's
certain that she must have sustained some injuries.
And this heavy rain can be fatal to someone injured.
If madam is still alive, can she survive through this?
As he was still deep in his thoughts, one of the rescue team members came behind him. “Mr. Campbell, Mr. Shane
is awake and wants to see you.”
Silas froze upon hearing that and replied with a forced smile, “Got it. I'll be there right away.”
Having a functioning cell phone meant that she could use it to contact Shane to rescue them.
With that, he took in a deep breath and put down the glass of warm water in his hand. Taking an umbrella, he
walked over to the biggest tent.

I've seen it coming; I have to face it eventually.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA wry smile crept up his face.
Lifting the mesh at the tent's entrance, Silas stepped in. “Mr-”
He only managed to utter a word, and a fist came aiming at him, landing heavily on his face.
Silas' glasses were hurled away while he slumped to the ground, covering his cheek where it had been hit, looking
at the exasperated man looming over him.
“Why did you do that!” Shane stood before Silas holding his fist as his voice rang coldly as though it was from the
netherworld.
Silas knew he was talking about himself being knocked out previously. Looking up at Shane, Silas answered, “Mr.
Shane, I know you're incensed right now, but it was for your safety that I did that.”
“Then, have you ever considered the possibility that if Natalie is still alive, this torrential rain might have taken her
life just because you stopped me?” Shane roared in a frenzied state.
Silas looked down. “I know, but I'm your assistant. I can only choose you over madam.”
It was his primary role as an assistant.
Shane understood that very well. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as giving him a punch in the face. He might
have killed him.
“Rest assured, Mr. Shane. As soon as the rain stopped, we would set off searching right away,” Silas picked up his
glasses and stood up as he said.
