Without looking at Bet and Joann, Matthew turned andmanded, “Take the team and search for her.


    Don’t miss any corner!”


    Bet, no longer paying attention to Joann’s tearful pleas, turned to his men and said, “Coborate with Mr.


    rk’s team and find her.


    ”


    He then prepared himself to join the search.


    “Bet…” Before Bet could depart Joann tried to stop him.


    “Please don’t go.


    Let me say something.


    ”


    With a cold expression, Bet pushed her aside and said, “I have nothing to discuss with you.


    If anything happens to Ste, I’ll hold you responsible.


    ”


    After dismissing Joann, Bet proceeded to join the search team.


    Joann copsed to the ground.


    As she watched his cold, distant figure disappear, she knelt alone, sobbing.


    Meanwhile, despite her pain, Ste continued to run desperately on herst reserves of strength.


    The van had leaked oil and gone out of control moments ago.


    She had leaped from the van just in time and escaped.


    Soon after, she heard an explosion not far behind her.


    Any hesitation might have cost her life.

    She also picked up on faint noises nearby.


    It was clear that the search party had realized she wasn’t in the van and had started hunting for her.


    She couldn’t afford to stop.


    She had to continue her journey.


    Apprehension was not an option.


    She had to find safety and alert the police.


    However, after enduring the ordeal all night, exhaustion overtook her.


    She tripped over a stone unintentionally.


    Ste tried to stand, but she was too weak.


    She pushed herself to keep going.


    Ultimately, her energy was spent, and she lost consciousness and copsed.


    Matthew led his men to search for Ste, with Bet’s and Joann’s men close behind.


    The open field was empty.


    Matthew took a deep breath, feeling a wave of unease settle over him.


    Suddenly, a voice called out from behind, “Look! There’s blood here.


    It’s still fresh.


    Mrs.


    rk must be nearby!”


    Matthew hurried toward the source of the voice, reaching a patch of grass.


    The sight of blood on the ground made his palms cold with dread.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    After hours of searching, dawn began to break.
