As the three of them and the driver inquired with the villagers, Daniel’s mother’s phone rang with a middle-aged man’s voice coming through, "Madam, the eldest young master... he, he disappeared! The eldest young master asked me to drive over, but when I just went to park, I turned around, and he was gone. I heard from some villagers nearby that the eldest young master seemed to have run up the mountain."
Daniel’s mother was astonished upon hearing this, quickly asking for the driver’s exact location. Then they met up with the driver and finally confirmed that Daniel Harris had indeed gone up the mountain, and he had gone alone.
Daniel’s mother was now in tears, "What is he doing going up the mountain alone? He can’t see anything now, and if he accidentally falls off the mountain..." She couldn’t bear to imagine it.
The mountain behind Drumbeat Village was still undeveloped, with only some dirt paths formed by frequent treading among the trees and weeds. Even a healthy person could easily trip on such mountain paths, let alone a blind person.
Mabel Quinn stared blankly at the mountain ahead, memories becoming more vivid. On that stormy night, she had found Daniel Harris on this very mountain.
And after all these years, has Daniel, blind now, gone up this mountain again? What exactly is he trying to do? Doesn’t he know how dangerous it is to go up the mountain alone ? Or is it...
Mabel bit her lip and said to Daniel’s mother, who had been crying uncontrollably, "Auntie, right now the most important thing is to quickly go up and find him. However, there are few of us, so should we call the police first? And then give some money to let some of the adults still in the village help us search. Let’s not have the elderly and children go up; it’s too risky for them."
"Okay, okay..." At this point, Daniel’s mother was ready to agree to whatever Mabel suggested. Mabel had a driver help take care of Daniel’s mother while going to the village to find people and had another driver who had brought Daniel here to call the police. As for herself, she planned to search the mountain first.
Earlier, she had also borrowed a flashlight from a farmer at the foot of the mountain. Now, Mabel Quinn walked up along the muddy and weedy mountain path. It would be better if she could find him earlier.
Her childhood memories of this mountain were mostly of finding Daniel Harris and then moving forward with him through wind and rain, but she had almost forgotten the specific routes up and down the mountain.
Moreover, she didn’t know where Daniel would head on the mountain, so Mabel could only wander aimlessly while calling out Daniel’s name, hoping to find him.
But the deeper she went into the mountain, the more the unease in her heart grew. The weeds were very tall, not to mention those intricately interwoven big trees. Even if Daniel was nearby, if he stayed silent, it would be hard for her to detect him.
On this side, Mabel Quinn was searching in the mountain, while on the other side, Kyle Kinston’s car had already arrived in Drumbeat Village.
The moon was now hanging in the sky, marking the beginning of a night of pain, and he had already taken two tablets on the way to temporarily suppress the pain.
The Kinston Family had always wanted to develop a drug that could replace the effects of Mín Yī, to suppress the pain of the Blood Curse. The source of this content ɪs novel[f]ire.net
