Chapter 168
Davian’s face turned pale from fright. He hurriedly looked around for something that could save Irvin!
Fortunately, there were many dead branches and leaves here!
Davian picked up a long dry branch and stretched it into the stream!
“Irvin, quickly grab this branch. I’ll pull you up!”
Irvin bobbed a few times in the water and swam desperately to the branch. He reached out and
grabbed the branch.
Meanwhile, Davian was desperately trying to pull him ashore.
After much effort, he finally dragged his brother out!
The two little guys were frightened and their clothes were wet.
“Brother, my clothes are wet.”
Davian took off his clothes first. “Take off your clothes and dry them. Otherwise, we’ll catch a cold!”
“Okay!”
The two children took off their clothes..
Greyport was a southern city. Although there was no winter, it was close to December and the weather
was still very cold.
The two little guys shivered from the cold and kept twisting the water on their clothes with their little
hands.
“Let’s hurry back to the mountain path!”
“Okay!”
It was very dangerous by the stream.
Although the two children could swim, there were still underground rivers and swamps below in such a
rapid stream. If they fell into it, they would definitely not survive!
The two little guys climbed up the mountain path one step at a time.
“Brother, look, there are so many oranges!”
There were a few orange trees beside the mountain path!
There were tons of oranges on the trees.
Davian frowned and glanced at it. “This kind of wild fruit can’t be eaten, right?”
Irvin was already starving. He reached out and plucked a few. “I can’t care less. Let’s eat some first!”
As he spoke, drvin peeled an orange and put it into his mouth.
He chewed on it a few times and then he spat it out again.
“Pfft, why is this orange so sour?”
“Don’t eat randomly. it’ll be troublesome if you get a stomachache!”
Irvin threw away the orange in his hand. His little round face was filled with gloom. “Sigh, if I had known
that we would get lost, I wouldn’t have come out

in the first place!”
“Look at us now. We can’t go back even if we want to!”
“Davian, if they find out that we’re missing, will they come looking for us?”
Davian’s face turned a little serious. “Definitely!”
Irvin rubbed his arms which were covered in goosebumps and muttered, “Mommy, I miss you so much.
Did you come back to look for us?”
“Let’s go and look over there!”
“Davian, I’m so tired!”
“Irvin, hold on a little longer. When we cross this mountain, we should be able to reach the downtown
area.
“As long as we reach the downtown area, we’ll definitely be able to get a taxi home.”
The two little guys had no idea that this was a wild bird sanctuary. There would be no one here at all!
They were walking in the opposite direction. The further they went, the deeper they would go into the
mountains!
Meanwhile, at the Haynes’s house.
Roxanne was watching the news in bed. As she watched, she saw the news of Davian and Irvin being
missing.
“Aren’t those two Joanna’s children?”
After Roxanne saw the news, she hurriedly ran downstairs with her phone.
“Mom, look at the news!”
Ingrid was pushing her face with the beauty apparatus. She then asked impatiently, “What news?”
“Joanna’s two children are missing!”
“Is that so?” Ingrid quickly pressed pause on the beauty apparatus in her hand and took the phone to
take a look.
Sure enough, the big news of Joanna looking for her children was playing on the phone.
Ingrid sneered and said happily, “Well, this is retribution!”
“Mom, how come the children has disappeared all of a sudden?”
“This is karma! That’s what that bitch gets for taking Bruce from you!
“Serves her right!
“It’s best if these two children can never return. Let’s see what else she can use against you!”
“Mom, you didn’t do it, did you?”
When Ingrid heard this, her eyes widened. “I would need the ability to do it even if I wanted to!”
“Oh, as long as it’s not you!”
Roxanne didn’t say anything else. She then ran upstairs with her phone.
With such a big incident happening in the Everett family, she naturally could not ignore it.
No matter what, she had to make a call to ask about the situation.
10:33 Tue, 4 Jul T
Beep, beep, beep!
Bruce’s phone rang
Bruce glanced at the phone and picked it up.
“Hey!”
“Hey, Bruce!”
“What is it?”
Roxanne paused for a moment and stammered, “I just saw the news. I heard that the children are © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
missing?”
“Do you have any leads?” Bruce’s voice was gloomy.
The last time Irvin went missing was because of Derick.
If it was related to the Haynes family this time, he would definitely not be Mr. Nice Guy anymore.
“Bruce, I’m just concerned about the children. How can I have any leads?”
“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up! It’s best if the children’s disappearance has nothing to do with
the Haynes family!”
“How can it have anything to do with us…”
Bruce didn’t want to say anything more to Roxanne and just hung up.
“Hey…”
Bruce had already hung up impatiently!
Joanna calmed down and analyzed everything carefully again.
They had seen all the places with surveillance cameras at the foot of the mountain. The children had
never appeared.
From this, it could be deduced that the children must have gone up the mountain.
“The children must still be on the mountain!”
As she spoke, Joanna prepared to go up the mountain to look again.
Bruce hurriedly pulled her back and advised, “Joanna, we’ve already searched the mountain many
times. It’s impossible for them to be on the
mountain!”
“No, they’re most likely on the mountain!
“I’ve checked all the surveillance cameras near the foot of the mountain. They didn’t go down the
mountain!
“Organize people to search the mountain!”
When Bruce heard this, he also felt that it made sense. “Alright, I’ll go this time too!”
Soon, Bruce organized a second search and rescue team.
Meanwhile, on the mountain.
The two little guys walked.
In front of him, an animal that looked like a wild dog and a wild wolf jumped out from the mountain
path.
10:33 Tue, 4 Jul
At this moment, the wild dog bared its fangs and glated fiercely at the two little fellows.
Irvin trembled in fear. “Davian, what is this?”
Davian was so frightened that he did not dare to move. “Don’t move. It looks like a wild dog or a wolf!”
“Davian, why are there wolves on this mountain?”
Davian tried his best to calm down. “Don’t run around. No matter if it’s a wolf or a dog, don’t run!”
Irvin gulped and asked nervously, “Then what should we do?”
“I’ve read in a book that when you encounter wolves in the wild, you must not panic!
“We have to raise our hands above our heads! We have to make ourselves look as strong as
possible!“,
“Ah!”
The two little guys tried their best to pretend to be calm and raised their hands high to make
themselves look as tall as possible!
The wild dog was huge!
It was not afraid of the threat of the two little fellows at all.
“Let’s slowly retreat to the highest point!”
“Okay!”
As soon as the two of them moved, the wild dog suddenly rushed over and pounced on Irvin.
“Ah! Don’t come over!”
The wild dog seemed to be extremely hungry and pounced fiercely at the little guy!
The two little guys turned around and ran away in fear.
But how could their short legs outrun the wild dog?
The wild dog was about to kill Irvin.
“Bang, bang!” Two gunshots seemed to have sounded.
The wild dog was frightened and scurried into the mountain path..
The two little guys also fell and rolled down the mountain path!
An old man appeared on the mountain path.
“Children, don’t be afraid!”
The two children were dizzy from the fall. Their knees and elbows were scraped.
When they heard the voice, they looked up and asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m the ranger of this mountain!”
“Oh!”
“Whose children are you? Why are you here?”
“We’re lost!”
“Come with me!”
The ranger bent down and carried the two children away!
He was the guardian of the forest on this mountain and was also a crippled old man with only one good
eye!
20 minutes later.
The old man brought the two children back to his residence.
Seeing that the two children were starving, he made two bowls of soup for them.
“Thank you, sir!” The two little guys were starving. They picked up the soup and wolfed them down!
“Where did you come from?” a little girl glanced at the two of them and asked curiously.
The little girl was about the same age as them.
“We came from outside the mountain!”
“Outside the mountain?”
“That’s right!”
“Thank you, little girl!”
“You’re welcome!”
After the three children ate their fill, they began to chat and play with each other!
The ranger didn’t pay attention to the information online and lived an isolated life!
Naturally, he did not know the identities of these two little fellows. He thought that they were children
from ordinary families!
Meanwhile, something was happening on Joanna’s side.
Joanna and Bruce went up the mountain to search again.
“Davian, Irvin!”
“There’s blood!”
“Thud!”
Joanna pounced over. “This is Davian’s clothes!”
“Davian must be on the mountain!”
“There’s blood here as well…”
