“Is anybody there? Help! Please help me! Can anyone hear me?”
Only then did Millie realize she was in grave danger. She would surely die from hypothermia in the pit if she was not rescued soon. However, very few people ventured there.
No matter how loud she shouted, no one heard her. Worse, the snow that was falling on her was intensifying. “Help! Please help me!” Millie cried, her voice laced with desperation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe night began to fall. The young woman was still in the snow pit, shivering. She was so cold that she could not even open her eyes anymore. She wondered if she would die there.
Millie, in her half-conscious state, heard footsteps approaching, but she was not sure if she was hallucinating or if they were real. At around eight o’clock in the evening, Marcus wrapped up his work and returned to his hotel room. It was dark inside when he opened the door. Was Millie asleep?
Marcus switched the lights on and saw no one in the living room. After taking off his coat, he went further inside and headed for the bedroom, only to find that it was also empty.
Was Millie not back yet?
The woman mentioned earlier that she would go out to buy ssouvenirs. She left at four o’clock in the afternoon. It was eight in the evening now, so why was she not back yet?
Frowning, Marcus took out his phone and called Millie, but her phone was powered off. Somewhere in the forest, a broken phone lay on the snow-covered ground.
Back in the hotel room, a foreboding feeling rose within Marcus when the call failed to go through.
He quickly dialed Derek’s number and instructed him to find Millie.

“Mrs. Thomas left the hotel at four o’clock in the afternoon and hasn't returned since then. She was last captured by the
surveillance camera at five o’clock. She was carrying a large bag of products from a specialty store. I'll have speople look for her right away.”
Marcus ended the call, grabbed his coat, and hurried out of the room. Millie would not hang around outside for so long if she was carrying something heavy. In addition, her phone had been tumed off. All of this only meant one thing: something bad had happened to her.
On his way out of the hotel, Marcus ran into Humphrey and Nancy, who were on their way to their room. Nancy unconsciously separated herself from Humphrey the moment she saw Marcus approaching.
“Mr. Thomas, is there something wrong?”
