Stefan had been searching the ind 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 ying Duck Duck Goose with the children. However, after a while, she started to feel uneasy.


    She nced 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 y 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.ru go look for Stefan and Adie."


    "Mommy, I want toe 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 ind was a typical tropical ind.


    It was not spacious but was full of trees and nts, and one could easily get lost or fall off a cliff if they were not careful.


    Both Renee and Adie had experience in navigatingplicated terrains like this, so she just held a torch with one hand and a machete with the other, hacking away at the nts 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 ying around. When I find you, I''ll teach you a lesson!"


    She hoped that Adie woulde back quickly when he heard her threats.


    She was also trying to keep the mood light; She wasn''t afraid of the ind, 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

    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.
