Chapter 1192 Willow

This was the closest place to the bottom of the cliff with signs of human activity.

“Is anyone there? Excuse me, is anyone there?” Emmanuel shouted loudly, still full of

vigor.

Ashton’s admiration for this man increased even more. She had never met a man with

such stamina before.

Since last morning, he had been carrying her, climbing up and down. They had hardly

eaten anything, and even she was almost unable to bear it. How could this man still go

on?

What would it be like to be married to such a physically strong man? She suddenly

became very curious.

Regardless of what Ashton was thinking, Emmanuel continued shouting. After receiving no

response, he carried her toward the fenced gate.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that should be the entrance to this garden. However, just as he had

shouted loudly and received no response, now that he had reached the gate, a hunched

old man walked over, gesturing and signaling with unclear intentions.

“Hello, sir! We are police officers here to investigate some matters!” Emmanuel spoke up,

considering that Ashton had her credentials, making it easier to question in a police

capacity.

But the old man shook his head repeatedly, pointed to his ears, then his mouth,

continuing to gesture.

“Oh, he’s a deaf-mute!” Coincidentally, Emmanuel was somewhat proficient in sign

language and knew what the ald man was trying to express. Without hesitation, he put

Ashton down and began communicating with the old man using sign language.

Ashton, watching Emmanuel, became increasingly astonished. Though the man was

annoying, his abilities were quite remarkable. He even knew sign language!

The hunched old man was equally shocked. He didn’t expect to encounter someone who

could communicate with him this time, and he was quite enthusiastic about cooperating

with Emmanuel.

“Alright.” After some communication, Emmanuel sighed helplessly and returned to carry

Ashton, leaving.

“Hey, what did he say?” Ashton curiously asked.

“I asked him if he had been to the other side of the cliff valley and seen a young woman.

He said no and mentioned that he’s the only one around here. He hasn’t seen anyone else

for a while,” Emmanuel relayed the information to her

“Well, that proves he didn’t rescue Claudette. We came all the way here for nothing!”

Ashton felt a bit frustrated. It seemed they had wasted these two days for nothing.

However, as they turned to leave, the old man looked at their backs, his eyes revealing a

gleam of cunning.

When Emmanuel walked out of the garden’s periphery, he suddenly stopped. It was

because he noticed some footprints that seemed to have been left in recent days. They

were not his, and judging by the size, they didn’t

were not his, and judging by the size, they didn’t match the old man’s.

“What’s up?” Ashton curiously asked, thinking that this man was surprisingly attentive. It

seemed like he had discovered some clues.

“That old man lied to me!” Emmanuel frowned. “There are clearly others coming in and

out of here, but he claimed to be the only one.”

“Could it be that his hearing is not good, and he doesn’t know that others have come in

and out?” Ashton offered her speculation.

“Yeah, that’s a possibility.” Emmanuel nodded. “But something’s odd here. Claudette

might be hidden here!”

Thinking of this, Emmanuel found it eerie, and a chill ran down his spine. If Claudette

wasn’t dead, he wondered what she was going through now.

“Let’s go back for now. Tomorrow, I’ll lead a team to thoroughly search this place for you,”

Ashton suggested.

Emmanuel sighed slightly. Now, it seemed like the only option!

Carrying Ashton back up the mountain, Emmanuel pulled out his phone to check the time,

only to realize it was dead long ago. He wondered if Mackenzie had tried calling him that

day.

Growl.

Just then, a muffled growl came from behind. Ashton’s face suddenly turned red; it was

quite embarrassing. She couldn’t believe her stomach growled when she was still on his

back.

“Hungry, huh?” Emmanuel made nothing of it. Everyone would get hungry after not eating

for a day and night, including himself. Now, he just wanted to have a good meal.

“Yeah, I know a nice restaurant nearby called Willow. Get back to the car, and let’s drive

over there!”
