As soon as Hugo climbed up, he saw Fourth at the entrance, holding onto a stick, looking like she could

fall at any moment.

“Fourth!” Hugo exclaimed, both surprised and relieved. With a final burst of energy, he pulled himself up.

Scarlett, who was right behind him, heard Hugo call out Fourth’s name and knew she was up there. She

quickened her pace, climbing faster.

Fourth, leaning against a rock, had almost closed her eyes. But upon hearing Hugo’s voice, she slowly

opened them again.

She thought it might be a hallucination. She told herself she couldn’t sleep, she mustn’t sleep…

Clutching the stick, she continued to sway…

“Fourth!” Hugo rushed over to her as soon as he got up. Seeing her in such a helpless and disheveled state

nearly broke his heart.

Fourth looked at him, still feeling like it wasn’t real. “Daddy… no, it’s a hallucination. I can’t sleep, I absolutely can’t sleep…” she murmured.

The word “Daddy” nearly shattered Hugo’s heart.

He hugged her tightly, gently tapping her face. “Fourth, it’s not a hallucination. I’m Daddy. I’m here to save

you… Fourth, stay awake!”

Perhaps Hugo’s words had an effect, as Fourth gradually became more alert.

When she saw the person in front of her, she squinted her eyes, “Daddy… is it really you, Daddy!?”

Hugo nodded, “Yes, it’s me. I’m sorry I was late!” He gently stroked Fourth’s hair, his heart aching.

At that moment, Fourth’s eyes filled with tears, and she reached out to hug Hugo tightly. “Daddy, you finally

came. I’ve been waiting for you for so long…”

Just then, Scarlett climbed up to join them.

The first thing she saw was Fourth crying in Hugo’s arms.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!” Hugo held Fourth, repeatedly apologizing.

“Daddy… I was so scared, so cold, so hungry, so tired. If you hadn’t come, I don’t think I could have held on

any longer…” Fourth sobbed, showing just how much she relied on Hugo.

Scarlett watched from behind, her usually calm eyes now filled with an indescribable warmth.

It wasn’t jealousy or envy; it was more a sense of relief.

“Daddy, I’m so tired. I want to sleep…” Fourth’s voice grew weaker as she spoke.

“Fourth, Fourth!” Hugo called out to her, but Fourth’s eyes closed as she fainted.

Seeing this, Scarlett rushed over. “Fourth!”

As Scarlett touched Fourth, she frowned. “Fourth has a fever!”

Hugo’s eyes turned red with worry as he looked at the person in his arms. He picked her up immediately.

“Let’s get Fourth to the hospital!”

At the bottom of the valley, First and Second watched as Hugo carried Fourth down.

As soon as they reached the bottom, the two rushed over.

“Fourth, Fourth!”

“How is she?” First asked, looking at Fourth with concern.

“She’s got a fever. We need to get her to the hospital now!” Hugo said, using the walkie–talkie to contact

the helicopter, the fastest way to get her to the hospital.

The helicopter landed smoothly, and Hugo carried Fourth aboard.

Watching from above, Hugo frowned at First and Second. “Go on!”

“You guys take Fourth to the hospital first. Second and I will follow. Tara is already on her way. Someone

needs to stay here and handle things,” First said.

Hearing this, Hugo nodded.

He then signaled to the helicopter pilot, and the helicopter took off.

Soon after, another helicopter arrived to bring them back to the ground.

As soon as they landed, Tara drove up.

“How’s everything?” Tara asked immediately.

“We found her. She’s being taken to the hospital now.”

“Is it serious?”

First shook his head. “Not sure yet.‘

“How did Fourth end up in the back hills?” Tara questioned.

First narrowed his eyes. “That’s what we need to investigate next.”

He absolutely didn’t believe Fourth went there just for fun. There was no way!

So, it had to be someone’s doing.

First was determined to find out who!

As the three of them were discussing, an extra nearby spoke up, “Hey, what about my payment… how’s that

going to be settled?”

First and Second turned to him, “What payment?”

“The information about your sister possibly being in the back hills, that was from me. I also took your dad

there. He said as long as I took him, whether we found her or not, I’d get paid!” the extra explained.

First caught onto something in his words, “How did you know my sister might be in the back hills?”

“I told your dad, I was rushing to set that day and saw a guy with your sister at that intersection, so I

figured she might be in the back hills!” the extra replied.

First, Second, and Tara Green exchanged glances, then turned their attention back to the extra.

“You said you saw that man?” First asked.

The extra nodded.

“You want your payment, right?” Second added.

The extra nodded again, “That’s what you promised me. I missed half a day of work because of this…”

“I’ll give you double the payment, but I need you to do something for us,” Tara Green said.

The extra frowned at them, “What do you mean?”

The next moment, the extra found himself seated in front of a computer.

Staring at the computer screen, the extra’s eyes glazed over as they watched the figures appearing one by

one on the surveillance footage.

First, Second, and Tara stood nearby, observing.

“Still nothing?” First asked.

“No worries, take your time,” Second encouraged.

The extra nodded, rubbing their eyes before continuing to watch.

First glanced at the time. “I wonder how Fourth is doing at the hospital?”

“No news is good news,” Second replied.

First nodded, but noticing Second’s injuries, frowned. “How are you holding up? Does it hurt?”

“It’s nothing, just a scratch,” Second said dismissively, though sweat was beading on his forehead and his

lips were pale.

First was about to say something when the extra suddenly exclaimed, “Got it, got it!”

Hearing this, First and Second immediately leaned in.

Tara joined them as well.

The extra pointed at a person on the screen. “That’s the one. I remember the clothes he’s wearing!”

Everyone focused on the screen. An hour after Fourth’s disappearance, a man walked past the surveillance camera, looking rather suspicious.

‘I can’t see his face!” Second exclaimed.

“I didn’t see his face either,” the extra replied. “He kept his back to me the whole time, but I remember his

jacket. There’s no mistaking it!”
