The sea wind was getting stronger and stronger, stirring up the waves with it.
The sky was also gloomy, and the dark clouds seemed to conquer the world.
A heavy rainstorm was about to come.
Natalie swam to the edge of the reef in desperation.
She tried to climb up the rock, but the rock had been by the sea for countless years and it was covered in slippery seaweed.
No matter how hard she tried to find a solid foot hold, her feet kept slipping and she’d fall into the sea.
She tried again and again, but it was futile.
Her strength was gradually exhausted.
She held the rock breathlessly and didn’t know where to go for a moment.
At this time, the wind was getting stronger, and streaks of lightning lit up the dark clouds.
Thunder roared across the sea , and the waves grew bigger and bigger.
There was no time! Staring at the huge waves rushing towards her, Natalie trembled in fear.
She took a deep breath when the first huge wave rolled in front of her.
Then she squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath.
The wind and waves hit the rocks over and over, accompanied by terrifyingly heavy rain…
By the time the sea gradually calmed down, Natalie was nowhere to be found…
With great difficulty, Natalie peeled her eyes open.
She was still alive! When the storm came, she was swept away by a huge wave.
Fortunately, the wave took her to a nearby reef, where she passed out.
When she tried to get up from the reef, she found that she couldn’t.
Some water rushed into her nose.
She coughed violently and spat out the seawater.
The reef was isolated from the sea, and only a fraction of the road could be seen in the distance.
Natalie climbed to the center of the reef and tried to regroup.
The reef was quite large, so she could temporarily settle here.
But there was no food nor water here.
If no one came to her rescue, she would undoubtedly starve to death, if dehydration didn’t take her life first.
Natalie reached into her pocket and her heart sank.
Her phone was in her bag, and her bag was in the car, and the car was in the bottom of the sea.
There was nothing she could do to seek for help.
Squatting on the reef, she looked to the distance with expectant eyes.
She had no choice but to hope and pray that boats passing by would see her.
wkkkekk On the road by the sea, a huge boulder had rolled down from the mountain and blocked the way.
The obstruction caused a traffic jam on the highway, and the drivers kept honking.
Someone called the road maintenance personnel, but he was told that it would take at least two days to haul the boulder out of the way.
The road that was blocked led to the countryside and was by no means a main road.
Most of the people stuck on the road were simply trying to get back to their hometown.
Seeing that the road was blocked, most of them just turned around n.o.v.e.leb.o.ok.c.o.m to drive back, failing to notice that the guardrail beyond the boulder was broken.
In the evening, the setting sun lit up the horizon, turning the blue ocean an orange hue.
Finally, the road maintenance personnel arrived at the scene.
“Hey, look at this! The guardrail’s broken.” The maintenance man stood beside the guardrail and inspected the damage.
“The marks here are new.
Could a car have fallen into the sea?” “Oh, God.
| think so.
Call the authorities.” Another maintenance man immediately dialed the police.
After informing the police, he sighed.
“The weather has been terrible these days.
| wonder if the police will be able to find the poor souls.” As soon as the police received the call from the road maintenance personnel, they immediately sent personnel to search and rescue.
The dark clouds became more and more gloomy.
The rain, which had stopped momentarily, began to pour once again.
hktkk In the well-lit building of the Larson Group in Barnes, after his meeting, Brandon looked out of the window at the fierce storm and took his phone from his assistant.
“Did my wife call?” The assistant shook her head.
“No, Mr. Larson.
You said that if Mrs. Larson called, | should inform you immediately.
But she didn’t.” Brandon checked his phone and found that there were no notifications from Natalie.
Something was wrong.
She should’ve made it to the countryside by this time.
Brandon tried calling Natalie several times, and then tried calling the driver, but nobody answered.
He trusted the driver, which was why he had ordered him to take Natalie to the countryside.
Frowning, Brandon found Hannah’s n.o.v.e.leb.o.ok.c.o.m landline number.
“Natalie? She’s not here.” The caregiver who took care of Hannah answered the phone.
Brandon had an ominous premonition and immediately turned to his assistant.
“Send someone to check the surveillance cameras along the road and the traffic accident records in Seacisco today!” After a while, the assistant came to Brandon with a report.
“At around four o’clock this afternoon, there was a landslide on the highway road near the sea.
There was indeed a car accident—a Car rammed into the guardrail and fell into the sea.”
“I’m going back to Seacisco now.
Send out our men and the helicopters immediately.” As he gavee the orders, Brandon’s heart sank.
He had a bad feeling that something bad might’ve happened to Natalie.
The assistant hesitated.
“Mr. Larson, the Weather in Seacisco is bad.
The wind is terribly strong and the rain is like hail; I’m afraid a helicopter can’t take off under such circumstances.
Even if they manage to do it, it’ll be very dangerous.” Frowning, Brandon came up with another solution.
“Then have someone rent some ships and search the water near Seacisco.” An accident that happened in this kind of weather was likey fatal.
It was highly probably that both Natalie and the driver had died.
Worse yet, it was unlikely they’d be able to find their bodies.

As the realization sunk in, for the first time in his life, Brandon felt a sense of suffocating fear.
He couldn’t lose Natalie! He just couldn’t! Seekotebee Soon, the Whites learned about the accident from Brandon.
The two of them were asleep in bed when they received the news.
Johanna, disheveled and unkempt, immediately came to Seacisco with Beal.
Johanna had been crying non-stop in the car.
“Everything will be fine.
I’ve hired a lot ships to look for Natalie.
Our daughter will come home safely, honey.” However, tears welled up in Beal’s eyes as he spoke, and his voice shook slightly.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen to Natalie if she had actually fallen into the sea.
When Johanna and Beal arrived at the scene, they happened to witness the car that Natalie was in being hauled out of the water.
“Unfortunately, the driver failed to get out of the car and died.
As for Mrs. Larson, she’s not in the car and we haven’t found her yet.” The rescue personnel reported the situation to Brandon, who had also arrived.
“Keep searching.” Frowning, Brandon couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was a glimmer of hope that Natalie might still be alive since they hadn’t found her body in the car.
“We’re going to search the islands in the area.
