Elliot grabbed the piece of bread and took a bite before turning his attention to Ivy and Robert. "It''s cold out here. Go inside the tent."


    "Dad, we aren''t cold. Is La on top of that mountain?" Robert gazed up at the rescue team on the mountain.


    "Yeah, she''s up there," Hayden said. "Robert, take your sister into the tent."


    Robert obeyed and grabbed Ivy''s hand.


    "Hayden, Dad, I''m not cold," Ivy said, wanting to see La as soon as she was rescued.


    Despite what Ivy said, Robert dragged her into the tent.


    "Ivy, have you noticed all the gray hair on Dad''s head?" Robert had a clear view when he stood next to Elliot. "He didn''t use to have so much gray hair. It''s as though his hair turned gray overnight after hearing what happened to La."


    Ivy had not been paying attention to her father''s hair.


    "I did notice that they seemed to have aged overnight," she said, tears welling in her eyes. "I used to think that they looked really young, and it felt like they would never age..."


    "It''s just a big shock," Robertmented.


    It was the worst situation Robert and Ivy found themselves in, but it was the second time Elliot and Avery faced the potential loss of a child.


    They were shaken when they found out about Ivy, but they had failed to find her. However, they were able to convince themselves that Ivy could be living safely somewhere in the world.

    "We found it!" A shout echoed throughout the mountain.


    Robert and Ivy immediately hurried out of the tent.


    "We found the phone!" Another voice shouted.


    The rescue team had found La''s phone in the snow, and it took them a tremendous amount of effort to recover the phone under theck of light.


    "Is there anyone nearby?" Hayden shouted back.


    "No!" The rescue team had


    megaphones with them, and it was easy to hear what they were saying. "We will keep looking. There should


    be people up there!"


    "Be safe!" Hayden had a megaphone with him as well, and his voice was transferred throughout the empty space.


    La could hear her brother''s voice, and though she wanted to call out for him, she could not make a sound.


    She felt so cold and exhausted that her body refused to move.


    La thought that she was dead and wondered why she could still hear her brother''s voice.


    Devastation took over her as she thought of her family.


    She had only gone on a business trip and ended up being parted from her family by death.


    She had not had the chance to repay her parents for raising her, nor had she said her farewell; however, as reluctant as she was, she was still about to die.


    From the moment Eric lost all signs of life, she knew that her time was near as well.


    "We found someone! We found Eric Santos!" The rescue team climbed up another two hundred meters and finally found Eric buried deep in the snow. "I-I don''t think he is breathing!"
