After talking on the phone with Mia, Anne stayed alone, and she did not know when Mia would come to see her.

Anne only hoped that Mia would bring good news when she came.

The woman was a talkative person and liked to ask questions.

Anne could not ignore her completely. In the end, she found an excuse and went for a walk as she could not bear it anymore.

The woman shouted from behind, "Don't walk around. Be careful not to get lost.”

Anne ignored the woman's reminder. She did not think that she would get lost.

There was a path in the mountain behind the village, and she followed the trail.

It was really quiet here, and there were trees everywhere.

However, Anne could not calm herself down.

Her heart would ache at the thought of Anthony and the call with Mia.

As if as excruciating as being soaked in acid, tears welled in Anne's eyes, trembling.

Could Anthony not...be so angry for the sake of their children?

Could she go back and admit her mistake? Would Anthony listen?

Anne flinched when she thought of the shocking blood on Bianca's head.

It would be fine. She just needed to wait a little more and return when Anthony's anger subsided... Anne came back to her senses and found that she had walked far unknowingly. The path was also getting smaller. However, she was not in a hurry to go back, and she still recognized the road. Next to it was a flowing river that seemed deep and bottomless.

Anne stood beside the river, staring at the water in a daze.

Little did she know that danger was approaching her.

A hand reached out to her back and pushed her hard—

"Ah!" Anne, who was defenseless, was pushed down and fell into the river with a plop. Anne could not swim. Even if she had amnesia, she was born with a fear of water.

Anne struggled in the water in panic, screaming for help, "Help...help..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, water poured in.

"H-Help...help..." The more Anne struggled, the more she sank.

After her last scream for help, Anne's head was completely underwater. Only her two hands were still struggling on the surface of the water, hoping that someone would grab her hand at the last moment.

Mia got close to the water and left after seeing Anne sinking completely. Just as she was about to walk out of the village entrance, she saw a row of cars driving on the road from a distance, coming here.

She knew something was wrong, so she quickly hid in the bushes nearby.

After the cars drove into the village, she ran across the fields.

Many people came out of the house to watch curiously as there were suddenly so many people coming to their village in the early morning.

After Anthony got out of the car, he swept his gaze over everyone, and his sharp eyes did not miss any face.

The bodyguards had a picture of Anne in hand and asked the people in the village if they had seen her, but none of them said they did.

It was not enough to just ask people, they also had to search the houses.

With such a large number of people, how could the rural people dare to say anything? They feared being hurt by these aggressive men. After all, they did not seem like nice people.

However, they were looking for someone. So, as long as they found her, they would be fine, right? The village was still not big, and they had searched every corner.

The last house seemed only to have one occupant, and a woman happened to come out to empty her basin.

Ivan took the photo and went over. "Excuse me, have you seen this woman before?”

The woman took a closer look. When she saw that the woman in the photo was the one she took in, she was so frightened that the basin in her hand dropped to the ground.

After picking it up, she shook her head, saying, "I haven't seen her before...never..."

Then, she turned and went back to the house.

Ivan noticed that the woman was acting strange, and when the door was about to close, he blocked it with a loud bang.
