Chapter 277


    Denise couldn''t hold on much longer.


    She was freezing, hungry, and tired. At that moment, she just wanted to shut her eyes and fall


    asleep. If I sleep now, I might never wake up again.


    Daddy, Nat, Tony, Ben, Great-grandpa, and Gramps... I miss you guys so much!


    Gradually, Denise''s eyes closed, and she was starting to lose consciousness.


    Right before her eyes closed, Denise heard Keh shouting, “You must hang in there, Denise!”


    Denise''s eyes suddenly flew wide open. “Daddy?” she murmured.


    She then looked around and saw nobody else. No! I can''t fall asleep! I mustn''t! Daddy and Mommy


    are looking for me! I can''t just fall asleep! I must find a


    way to tell them I''m here!


    With that thought, Denise tried her best to stay conscious and stood up. I must go to the cave


    entrance and tell them I''m here!


    Denise was exhausted, and she could feel pain radiating through her body every time she moved a


    muscle.


    Even so, Denise forced herself to get up. While holding on to the stone wall, she slowly made her


    way out of the cave.


    When she arrived at the cave entrance, she could see helicopters hovering over the other caves.


    No matter how loud I shout, they ''ll never hear me. Besides, I don''t have the energy to shout. What


    should I do?


    As she was thinking about what to do, she saw a piece of torn clothing she used to mark her trail.


    She picked up the clothing and found a stick nearby. After that, she tied the clothing to the stick and


    swung it in the air.


    She didn''t know if the helicopters could see her, but that was the only chance she got. Nat and


    Daddy, pleasee quickly. I don''t think I canst much longer...


    Meanwhile, Keh was searching right beneath the cave Denise was in, and that was where the


    markings ended.


    He looked around and saw nothing else was left behind.


    The extra did the same and scanned the surroundings. Having failed to see any markings, the extra


    looked at Keh and said, “Boss, there''s nothing here!”


    Keh frowned and thought about other possibilities.


    “Could it be that she ran out of clothing to tear? Is that why she stopped leaving markings behind?”


    the extra asked.


    “Even if that was the case, she would surely think of something else,” Keh answered.


    “However, we don''t see any markings nearby!”


    At that moment, Keh raised his gaze and looked at the cave entrance above his head.


    Keh then whipped out his walkie-talkie and asked the people in the helicopter, “What''s going on


    up there?”


    “Mr. Hamilton, we don''t see anything. There''s nothing here!”


    Keh was sure that Denise wouldn''t just suddenly stop leaving markings. Something must''ve


    happened! It is either that or she is here, but we just haven''t found her yet!


    “Can you guys see my current location?” Keh asked.


    The helicopter pilot answered, “Yes. We can see you!”


    “Okay. Check the caves above my head!”


    “All right. Copy that!” the helicopter pilot replied.


    After that, the helicopter flew back toward the caves in that area to check them thoroughly.


    When the helicopter was flying toward Keh''s position, the pilot gazed downward and asked the


    copilot, “Look! What''s that?”


    They saw someone swinging a stick in


    the air.


    “Get nearer!” the co-pilot uttered.


    “I can''t! If I fly that low, we might crash!” the pilot answered.


    The co-pilot looked in that direction for a long time, but he couldn''t see the face of the person.


    However, he could tell that the person was asking for help.


    “Mr. Hamilton! Mr. Hamilton!”

    “Yes? I''m here!” Keh answered through the walkie-talkie.


    “We saw something strange! Someone is in the cave above you, and that person is waving at us.


    However, the cave entrance is too small and too low. We can''t fly toward it. Also, we can''t be sure if


    that''s your daughter!” the pilot said.


    Upon hearing that, Keh immediately raised his head and looked upward. Who else could that


    be, if not Denise ?


    “Which cave is she in?” Keh asked.


    “The one on the left! It''s a very small cave!” the pilot answered.


    Keh searched and found a slightly hidden cave.


    He then scanned the surroundings. There''s no way a helicopter cannd here. It''s too cramped and


    too low. The helicopter could easily crash if they do that.


    Right then, the extra saw something nearby. “There! We can climb up through the trail!”


    Seeing that, Keh kept his walkie-talkie and ran toward the spot the


    extra found. Just like that, he was climbing upward.


    “Be careful, Boss!” the extra shouted.


    Keh remained silent and kept climbing upward.


    When he was climbing toward the cave entrance, he saw traces of climbing on the ground. The


    traces look light and small. It had to be Denise!


    Keh looked up once again and picked up the pace.


    At that moment, Natasha, Anthony, and Benjamin had arrived nearby after following the markings.


    There was still quite a distance between them and Keh. However, Anthony saw someone


    climbing, and he shouted, “Nat! That''s Daddy!”


    Upon hearing that, Natasha turned and saw Keh climbing toward a cave.


    Natasha narrowed her eyes slightly.


    “Could it be that they''ve already found Denise?” Benjamin asked.


    “Let''s find out!” With that, Natasha ran in that direction.


    Anthony and Benjamin followed behind. Although Benjamin was feeling some pain in his legs and


    arms, he kept quiet and endured the pain.


    When they arrived beneath the cave, the extra was there.


    He then turned toward them and asked curiously, “Who are you guys?”


    “What''s my daddy doing up there?” Anthony asked.


    Instantly, the extra knew who they were. “Oh! The helicopter pilot told us someone is in the cave,


    and that person is waving for help. Your daddy went up right after he heard that.”


    Anthony turned toward Natasha. “It has to be Denise!”


    Natasha looked utterly solemn. She then calmly emptied her pockets and gave the items to


    Anthony. “The both of you stay here and wait. I''ll go up and have a look!” With that, Natasha dashed


    toward the cave and followed Keh from behind.


    “Hey, be careful, Nat!”


    “Be careful, Nat!”


    Anthony and Benjamin yelled at the same time.


    Natasha didn''t turn back. Instead, she followed the trail left behind by Keh.


    The sharp branches were piercing her skin, and she was bleeding. However, she felt nothing.


    She kept her gaze fixated on the cave up above, and she only had one thing on her mind. Denise,


    wait for me! You must stay safe!
