Chapter 1870
Stefan had been searching the island for a while, but still couldn't find Adie.
Meanwhile, Renee was at the campsite.
Initially, she didn't worry too much about Adie because she was busy barbecuing seafood with the other parents and playing
Duck Duck Goose with the children.
However, after a while, she started to feel uneasy.
She glanced in the direction where Stefan had left, her worry growing.
She figured he would have found Adie by now.
Abby was worried too, and was too distracted to play games with the other children.
She grabbed Renee's hand and asked anxiously, “Momuny, where's Adie? Why hasn't Daddy found him yet? Did something
happen to Adie?"
"No, that won't happen."
Although Renee said that, her heart was pounding in her chest.
"Abby, be good and stay with the teacher.I'll go look for Stefan and Adie."
“Mommy, I want to come too."
Abby was worried about Adie and didn't want Renee to go out on her own at night.
"No, it's dark now.It's safer if you stay here.If you go with me, I'll have to look out for you too, and I'll be too tired to look for
Adie..."Renee touched Abby's head and said gently, ''Be good, Abby.I promise I'll bring Adie back."
"Not only Adie...You've got to bring Daddy back too, okay?"
“Umm..."
After a brief hesitation, Renee nodded.
"Okay, I promise I'll bring both of them back."
Finally, Abby stayed with the teacher obediently and watched Renee leave.
The island was a typical tropical island.
It was not spacious but was full of trees and plants, and one could easily get lost or fall off a cliff if they were not careful.
Both Renee and Adie had experience in navigating complicated terrains like this, so she just held a torch with one hand and a
machete with the other, hacking away at the plants in her path.
Soon enough, she was halfway up the mountain.
"Adie!"
Renee called out, her loud voice spooking nearby birds.
"Adie, where did you go? Stop playing around.When I find you, I'll teach you a lesson!"
She hoped that Adie would come back quickly when he heard her threats.
She was also trying to keep the mood light; She wasn't afraid of the island, but...
she was afraid of ghosts.
After all, it was the wilderness, and she didn't know what to expect.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she called for Adie, she didn't hear a reply.
Renee's confidence started to dwindle, and she started to think that Adie might really have gotten himself into trouble.
If she still couldn't find him, she decided to go back downhill to get professional help.
The dark mountains looked gloomier as time went by.
Suddenly, Renee heard painful whimpers as she was walking.
"Help!"
That cry came from a dense bush.
“Who...Who is it?"
Renee quickly shone her torch on the bush.
"Help!"
The voice came again, sounding more urgent.
