Chapter 1408: Danger Approaching

"What about you?" Monica turned her head, blinking her beautiful eyes and asked curiously, "What were you thinking at your most

fearful moment?"

About work?

About his father? Or his sister?

Tristan leaned back in his chair, his gaze drawn to the clouds in the sky, split by sunlight. At that moment, he seemed to feel the

radiance of Buddha, and the cloud was truly stunning.

His lips parted slightly, "Actually, | was quite calm inside because I've always believed that life and death are predestined.

However," he turned his eyes and said firmly, "I don't want to take you with me."

"..." She met his gaze, feeling his slightly hoarse but clear voice, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.

He sincerely told her, "If | hadn't called you, you wouldn't have been in a desperate situation, right?"

"The sun is out, where's the desperation?" Monica smiled warmly, as if to comfort him, "You shouldn't feel guilty anymore; dying

together with you wouldn't be lonely!"

Seeing her smile, he was happy, and hearing her words, he was even happier.

"Tristan, do you fear death?"

"Yes," he replied without thinking, "I believe everyone in this world fears death unless they are depressed and in extrpain."

It was great that he didn't mention her confession; maybe he could treat it as a feverish whim!

He was so mature and steady that he probably wouldn't hold it against her, and maybe he didn't even take it to heart.

The sound of a helicopter hovering overhead drew their attention; Kevin's rescue team had arrived.

In the ancient town separated by a mountain,

Rowan and Claire walked down the steps and arrived at the mossy green ancient bridge. The bridge was long, resembling the

Great Wall in architecture, with stone railings reaching only to the waist. Standing on the bridge, one could overlook the beauty of

the entire ancient town.

The alleys, the winding river, the towers rich in historical charm, and the stilted houses lined up along the riverbank.

"I'm going to the restroom; wait for me?" Rowan said to the girl beside him.

"Okay!"

Rowan walked toward the nearby public restroom. He was gentle and considerate, seemingly without a temper, and kind to

everyone around him.

A minute later, when his figure disappeared, Daphne Wells stepped up to the last step, standing silently behind Claire like a ghost.

Daphne Wells had straight long hair, and her lifeless eyes revealed a hint of coldness as she stared at the back of Claire's head.

Claire, unaware of the danger approaching, took out her phone to take a photo of the stilted houses on the opposite bank!

With all her strength, Daphne Wells lifted Claire by her waist and pushed her off the bridge before she could react!

"Ahh!" A terrified scream rang out, followed by a splash!

When Rowan heard the sound and cout, there was no sign of Claire on the empty winding path, but the scream sounded like

her voice.

"Claire?! Claire!"

Rowan ran forward, searching and calling her name!

As he ran, he also used his phone to call her, but it showed that her phone was turned off.

"Claire! Claire, where are you?" Rowan panicked, having a vague sense of foreboding because she had left with a fully charged

phone; it couldn't have been turned off intentionally or automatically.

"Claire!"

Rowan leaned on the railing and looked down at the calm river; not far away was a fishing boat, incredibly beautiful.

"Claire! Where are you?" He turned and ran down the steps, wondering if she had left on purpose? To give him a surprise? Or a

prank?

Twenty minutes later-

The helicopter brought Tristan and Monica to the entrance of the ancient town. They walked towards the gate and crossed the

bridge; no vehicles were allowed inside.

Tristan glanced at her, "Shall we go?" He carried her suitcase; they had already booked a guesthouse and contacted the owner to

pick them up.

"Are you Mr. Norwell?"

"Yes."

"Please follow me, giveyour suitcase." The guesthouse owner seemed like an artistic person, a big man with long hair tied in a

low ponytail, yet not effeminate at all.

After passing through the gate and the ancient bridge, they saw several police cars parked inside, and many officers were

questioning pedestrians and taking notes.

"What happened?" Tristan asked.

"A girl disappeared in broad daylight." The guesthouse owner reminded them, "You two should also be careful; don't let the girls

act alone."
