Shane ordered the helicopter to land. Then, he headed straight for the edge of the cliff. As he looked down, his heart ached to the point it felt like it was being ripped into pieces.

Once again, he could only watch as Natalie fell off the cliff.

He failed to catch her the other time and history repeated itself.

He clenched his fists harder as tears welled up in his eyes.

Silas came to his side and stunned by what he saw.

Mr. Shane… has cried! I mean, it makes sense. There’s no ruling out the possibility of her death after that fall.

Silas felt pity for Shane.

However, he did not know how to comfort Shane and found himself at a loss for words. All he could do was stay by his side silently.

After a period of time unbeknownst to everyone, the search and rescue team finally showed up.

Shane immediately gave orders to search for Natalie.
