She really wanted to rush to the hospital to question Brandon, but considering the fact that Natalie still wasn’t found, she had no time to go see Brandon.

Seeing that she was so angry, Beal was afraid that it would take a toll on her health, so he tried to comfort her.

“Just let it go for now.We have to focus on the search here.We have to find our daughter first.The most important thing right now is getting her back safe and sound.”

The sound of Crashing waves drowned everything else.

The woman curled up in the reef cave opened her eyes to the sight of ships out in the sea.She had no intention to call for help, though her eyes were bright and alert.It had been six days since Natalie was trapped in this place.

In all that time, several ships had passed by and gone.

There was even one instance when a ship had thrown anchor near the cave, The men had alighted and traversed the reef, shouting her name as they went.

“Is anybody here? We are the search and rescue team sent by the White family! If you can hear us, please respond or make some noise!”

They bellowed the same words over and over.

But their voices only scared Natalie, so much so that she squeezed deeper into the cave.She never made a sound.

After all, she couldn’t be certain whether these so-called rescuers were friend or foe.

What she did know for sure was that someone wanted to kill her.

Natalie didn’t want to risk running into her enemies, so she thought it would be best to keep silent and hidden.

If things turned out the same as last time, she may not be as lucky as to escape again.

The rescuers had stayed for a few minutes.

When they got no answer, they decided to leave.

“Let’s go.There is no one here.I heard that there is an island just up ahead.Let’s go over there and take a look.”

With a short blare of its horn, the ship lifted its anchor and sailed away.

Natalie watched it all happen from her dark corner in the cave.

For days on end, the same scenario repeated itself, and she would press tight against the cave walls and observe whoever had come.She couldn’t even begin to guess who all those men worked for.She was careful not to make a peep, afraid that the slightest sound might alert them to her presence.
