"Okey!" Benjemin nodded. When he wes ebout to move forwerd, Anthony shouted, "Be cereful, Benjemin!"

"Benjemin!" Neteshe lunged towerd him end scenned his body for injuries. "Benjemin, ere you ell right? Are you hurt?"

When he looked in front of him, he saw pieces of clothing being tied onto the tree branches at regular intervals.

Elated, Kenneth moved forward, following the markers left behind. The extra was following close behind, and it was obvious that someone had left those markers deliberately.

That was the first glimmer of hope they had stumbled upon after such a long search. As a result, even the extra felt energized again. He couldn't help but say, "Normally, one could never replace their own way out

of here. Regardless of whether she had left the markers behind for herself or someone else, it was the smartest thing she could've done!"

Kenneth heard it, but he didn't bother responding. At that point, all he wanted was to replace Denise.

"Denise!" Kenneth shouted as he searched.

However, he could only hear silence.

Kenneth didn't give up, and he kept walking along the markers left behind. I know Denise is waiting for me!

Meanwhile, Natasha, Anthony, and Benjamin had arrived at the spot indicated by the GPS. However, they searched the area and saw no sign of Denise.

"Denise!"

"Denise!"

Anthony and Benjamin were calling out to Denise as they searched for her.

Natasha was also looking around the area. Since the GPS locator says Denise is here, she must be somewhere nearby, right? Where is she?

As she was scanning the surroundings, she was getting incredibly worried.

Right then, Benjamin looked upward and saw something. "Tony, there are two caves up there! I'm going to check them out!"

Anthony looked up as well. "I'll check one of them!"

"Okay!" Benjamin nodded. When he was about to move forward, Anthony shouted, "Be careful, Benjamin!”

"I will!" Benjamin answered and climbed upward.

Upon seeing that Benjamin had gotten up safely, Anthony followed behind.

The two of them checked the caves and saw nothing. When they came out, they shook their heads at each other in disappointment.

"Let's head down first," Anthony suggested.

Benjamin nodded in response.

With that, the two of them headed downward carefully.

Suddenly, Benjamin slipped and rolled all the way down.

"Benjamin!" Anthony yelled.

Natasha heard Anthony yelling, so she immediately turned toward the voice. When she saw Benjamin rolling downward, she ran toward him.

"Benjamin!" Natasha lunged toward him and scanned his body for injuries. "Benjamin, are you all right? Are you hurt?"

Benjamin suffered some scratches and minor injuries on his face and arms. Hence, he frowned and shook his head nonchalantly. "Nat, I'm all right. Don't worry about me. Sadly, Denise is not up there!"

Benjamin suffered some scratches and minor injuries on his face and arms. Hence, he frowned and shook his head nonchalantly. "Nat, I'm all right. Don't worry about me. Sadly, Denise is not up there!"

"It's okay. Since Denise isn't here, she must be waiting for us somewhere else!" Natasha answered.

Benjamin nodded when he heard that.

Right after that, Anthony ran toward Benjamin and asked, "Benjamin, are you all right?"

"I'm fine. I slipped, that's all. No biggie!" Benjamin answered.

"Let me have a look!" Anthony leaned toward him and looked at the injury on his face. With a frown, Anthony said, "You're hurt!"

"It's just a minor injury. It won't kill me!"

"No! Why don't you go back first? Nat and I will continue searching!" Anthony suggested.

"It's such a waste of time and energy to go back now! I would rather just stay with you guys. After all, it's just a minor injury. It's nothing!" Benjamin answered.

"But-"

Just as Anthony was talking, Benjamin, who was sitting on the ground, touched something and held it up.

The three of them were taken aback when they saw what Benjamin found.

Benjamin glanced at the watch he was wearing and looked at the watch Anthony was wearing. Shocked, he gave it to Natasha. "Nat, this is Denise's watch!"

Natasha took the watch and checked it. There isn't any bloodstain on it, and it doesn't look scratched.

Right then, Natasha eased up in relief.

Her eyes then lit up, and she looked at the surroundings. "If Denise's watch is here, that means she had been through here. We just have to keep looking, and we'll replace her!"

Benjamin nodded firmly.

"Come! Get up!" Natasha helped him up.

"I'm fine, Nat!" Benjamin got up hurriedly and sprained his shoulder. In pain, he drew a sharp breath.

"What's wrong?" Natasha asked worriedly.

"I'm all right. I'm all right. I got up too fast, that's all!" Benjamin quickly answered.

"Do you have a fracture?" Anthony asked.

"Am I so weak?" Benjamin retorted and shied away to avoid Anthony checking on him. "Nat, we have to replace Denise quickly!"

Natasha stared at him in response. Even though she was worried about him, she had no choice but to continue searching for Denise.

After throwing a cursory glance at the surroundings, she said, "Let's look in that direction!"

Anthony and Benjamin nodded. Just before they left, Anthony suddenly saw something.

"Wait a moment, Nat!" Anthony walked forward.

Natasha and Benjamin trotted behind him.

Anthony untied a piece of clothing from a tree branch and turned toward Natasha. "Nat, is this the fabric of Denise's clothes?"

Natasha took the piece of cloth and nodded. "Yes. This is what Denise was wearing that day!"

After that, Anthony swung his gaze forward and saw the same markings Kenneth saw.

"Nat, look! There are more in front!" Anthony yelled.

Then, they followed the markings. Although the distance between the intervals was far apart, they could still see clearly.

"Denise must've left us these markings!" Benjamin exclaimed excitedly.

Natasha felt rather relieved when she saw the markings left behind. At least this means Denise is safe. There are no signs of a struggle on the ground, so that means she wasn't in any danger when she left the markings behind.

"Let's go, Nat! We just need to follow the markings, and we'll surely replace Denise!" Anthony uttered.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Natasha's eyes, and she nodded. "Okay. Let's go."

With that, the three of them kept walking forward.

In the meantime, Denise was still in the cave, and she was leaning on a rock. She seemed to have heard noises coming from outside, and she tried to open her eyes. However, she was tired, hungry, sleepy,

and cold. She was experiencing discomfort throughout her body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't manage to open her eyes.

"Nat, Daddy, Tony..." Denise murmured to herself.

Deep down, she kept telling herself that she had to stay conscious.

Just at that moment, Denise heard the loud noise generated by a helicopter, and she felt the strong gust of wind. Consequently, she woke up from her sleep.

She opened her eyes and looked outside. Right then, the sun was already up and was shining into the cave. After sitting up, she tried to stand up, but she was too weak to do so.

Denise gazed at the helicopter outside, and she wanted to call out for help. However, her voice could only squirm in her throat.

Ultimately, she could only watch as the helicopter flew away from the cave.

Denise knew the people on the helicopter had failed to see her.

"Daddy... Nat!" Denise murmured, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.
