Maybe the chance was minuscule, but he had to try anyway. He could not bear to just give up on her like this, even if there was just a 0.1 percent chance.
Then, Kevin's call came in, "Ms. Jent disappeared around the border sea area of Ventropolis..." The car immediately fell silent, then Kai pounded the steering wheel.
"What the fuck, Zach Jardin! | told you not to do anything to Ethan, but you just wouldn't listen!" Kai should have guessed that Madelyn would search for Ethan's remains. But the search and rescue team had looked for eight days and found nothing; what could she possibly find there? The direction where the lightning and thunder had just struck was right at the border. With Madelyn's current health, Kai had no idea if she could withstand the storm.

Kevin arrived just in time. When he saw the approaching vehicle, everyone got out of the car in the rain.
Kevin walked over with a black umbrella. Zach stormed out of Kai's car and pushed everyone in front of him away. The effect of the drug had not subsided, but he stumbled into the woods while braving the freezing rain anyway.
"Mr. Jardin!" Kevin had never seen Zach in such a flustered state.
Zach was walking incredibly fast as if he was looking for something important. Everyone else was busy searching for Madelyn, too.
Kai watched every move Zach made. Indeed, he had never seen Zach doing anything like this before.
He had thought that someone like him would never treat another person with his heart.
The night sky was once again illuminated by a stroke of thunder.

He picked that up, lowered his head, and clutched it tightly. His eyes were filled with regret and suppressed pain.
"Find her! Even if you have to dig through the entire mountain!" Half an hour later, they found Madelyn lying unconscious next to a tree.
"She's here... we found her! Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent is right here." Zach walked in their direction without hesitation, but then he misstepped. Just as he was about to fall, Kevin rushed to his aid and exclaimed, "Mr. Jardin, watch out!" Zach pushed him away and rushed forward. The bodyguard dared not to do anything rashly, so they just held the umbrella over Madelyn to shield her from the rain.
Zach slowed down as his bodyguards made way for him. He was extremely careful as he crouched down, picked her up, and placed his fingers beneath her nose. He could feel that she was still breathing.
He was overwhelmed with joy at the miracle of finding her. He held her tightly, ignoring the mud all over her body. He then buried his head in her neck as everyone else watched the scene in silence.
Kai came over and paused, standing at a distance.
