CEO's Ex-wife Stunned the World

Chapter 167 Save Me

“Alright.”

The two kids walked back along the road.

Unfortunately, it was so dark and full of plants that they couldn’t find a way to go down the mountain.

Tourists were not allowed to enter here. It was a wild bird sanctuary.

The two kids could not find a way out by themselves.

Suddenly, a large bird flapped its wings and flew over. Its ear–piercing sound was extremely terrifying.

In the night, that sounded so creepy.

Bruce let out a scream.

“Alex, there’s a ghost.” Bruce was scared to tears and hid in Alex’s arms.

Alex was also frightened.

He was the older brother, and he had to calm down.

“Bruce, don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”

Bruce was so scared that he didn’t dare to open his eyes. He cried and said, “Alex, when can we go

home?”

“Don’t worry. It’s dark now. We can’t find a way back,” said Alex as he looked around.

“We should find a safe place now. When dawn breaks, we will definitely find our way home.”

“Okay.”

The two kids held hands and did not dare to run around. They could only search around with their

senses.

“Bruce, there is a hole.”

“Let’s go in.”

“Alright.”

The two kids touched a place that seemed to be a cave. The two of them crouched and got in.

It was an abandoned underground drain.

It had already dried up inside, so it was safe for the two to curl up inside.

After entering the stone drain…

It was pitch black inside, and they failed to see anything.

“Alex, I’m so hungry.” Bruce’s stomach kept growling.

The two of them hadn’t eaten anything for an entire afternoon, and now they were both hungry.

“Just hang on till tomorrow.”

“We should have brought some food when we came out.

“I want to eat cake, chocolate, the desserts made by Mommy, and delicious chicken legs.”

As Bruce spoke, he couldn’t help but lick his lips.

Alex sighed, “Don’t say anymore. The more you say, the hungrier you will become. Let’s sleep now.

Once we fall asleep, we won’t feel hungry anymore.”

“Alex, I can’t sleep.”

“We have to sleep. Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to walk tomorrow. When dawn breaks, we

can go home.”

The two kids ran for a day and were tired, hungry, and sleepy.

It was cold outside, and the two curled up inside, feeling warm.

At the foot of the mountain…

Edwin and Julianna were so worried.

“Send out more helicopters and search every corner of the mountain to find the kids.”

“Yes.”

The Keaton family and the rescue team, including hundreds of people, went up the mountain to search

together.

“I will follow the rescue team.” Julianna was also anxious.

Edwin quickly stopped her. “Julianna, you stay here and wait for the news. If the kids go home, you can

take care of them.”

my children.

“No, I want to look for

“Edwin, if anything happens to the children, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life.”

Edwin frowned, feeling complicated.

He never expected that the kids would disappear from the Keaton family.

It was impossible that they were kidnapped.

After all, there were so many bodyguards and servants in the Keaton family, so the robbers could not

enter at all.

“Julianna, please calm down first.

“We need to figure out how the kids disappeared.

“Even if they were kidnapped, it couldn’t happen in the Keaton’s house.”

Julianna’s mind went blank. She only wanted to find the kids as soon as possible. And she couldn’t

think about anything else.

“The surveillance cameras are broken. Otherwise, we will be able to see where they are heading.”

When Julianna heard this, she immediately realized something. “Could it be that Alex and Bruce

sneaked out by themselves?”

Alex liked to play with computers the most, so maybe it was he who invaded the Keaton family’s

electrical circuit.

Edwin frowned and thought about it. Maybe that was the case.

Alex had invaded the Keaton Group’s network twice before, and perhaps he did it this time.

“Let’s hurry up and find them first.”

“Alex, Bruce.”

“Can you hear me…

The helicopters flew in the sky.

The team members and the hunting dogs were searching around the mountain.

But…

The two kids were hiding in the abandoned drain, and they couldn’t hear the call outside at all.

“Alex, I think I heard Mommy calling us,” said Bruce in a daze,

Alex said, “You must be dreaming.

“It’s so late. How can Mommy be here?” Alex was so tired and soon fell asleep.

When Bruce heard this, he felt that it made sense.

“That’s true.” He must have missed his mommy too much, so he had dreamed of her.

The two kids soon fell asleep again.

In the blink of an eye….

Almost seven hours have passed.

The search and rescue team searched for the whole night.

“Mr. Keaton, the kids shouldn’t be on the mountain.

“So many people went to search for them but found nothing. If the children were on the mountain, we

would have found

them.”

“Since they are not on the mountain, then search somewhere else.”

Early in the morning…

The search and rescue team as well as the Keaton family gave up on searching on the mountain.

They had been searching for a day and a night and failed to find them. It seemed that the kids would

not be on the mountain.

Julianna and Edwin did not sleep the whole night.

At this moment, Julianna’s eyes were bloodshot and she looked extremely haggard.

“My kids, where did you go?”

“Julianna, don’t worry. We can find them…” Edwin also looked worried with stubble on his chin,

hugging Julianna’s shoulders

tightly.

“I should be the one to blame.” Julianna punched her head in self–blame.

“Why should I agree to you taking Alex and Bruce away?

“Edwin, you have to bring them back.”

Edwin felt guilty. “As long as the child is still in Philadelphia…

“No matter how much I have to pay, I will get them back.”

Soon…

The television started to report the news, saying anyone who found the kids would be rewarded.

As long as one could provide important clues, the reward would be 1.5 million dollars in cash.

As it was reported by the media, it meant the Keaton family admitted that Alex and Bruce were its

family members officially.

“I didn’t expect that Mr. Keaton would be the father of the three children.”

“Do you think the two children were kidnapped?”

“I don’t know. I heard that they went missing in the Keaton’s house.”

“That’s weird. Who is so powerful to kidnap the children in the Keaton family?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, it is quite strange.”

“Do you think the two children were kidnapped by aliens?”

“There are such cases abroad. It’s said that when people were sleeping at home, they were taken by

aliens.”

“I think you’ve watched too many fantasy movies.”

“If anyone can find the two children, they will be rich for the rest of their lives.”

“That’s true.”

In a day, almost all the people in Philadelphia were discussing this matter.

At noon….

The two kids woke up in a daze.

They did not know that all the people in Philadelphia were looking for them.

“Alex, it’s dawn.”

“Well, let’s continue on our way.”

The two kids then came out of the abandoned drain.

It was hot at noon.

Alex looked around and pointed at the mountain path. “Let’s continue walking along the mountain

path.”

Bruce was so hungry since last night that he couldn’t bear it anymore. When he woke up this morning,

he felt weak all over.

“Alex, I’m so hungry. And I’m thirsty.”

Alex’s condition wasn’t any better. The two children were a little dehydrated.

“Let’s go. There’s a stream down the mountain. Let’s go find some water to drink.”

“Alright.”

The two kids then walked along the mountain path, carefully heading for the foot of the mountain.

There was a winding stream near the mountain path.

The stream looked clear, and the water didn’t seem to be deep.

Bruce looked at the stream and pouted. “Alex, we can’t drink this water, right? It hasn’t been filtered. It’s

very dirty.”

“It doesn’t matter. We are dying of thirst. If we don’t drink, we will get dehydrated.”

As Alex spoke, he took off his clothes.

He planned to filter the impurities in the water with the clothes.

Bruce couldn’t wait any longer, so he leaned against the stream and began to drink.

Unfortunately, Bruce lowered his head deeply and was so hungry that he felt dizzy.

With a splash, he fell into the stream.

Soon, he let out a scream.

“Alex.”

When Alex saw this, he was instantly terrified. “Bruce.”

The rushing water was flowing fast, though it was not deep.

“Alex, save me!” Bruce struggled and was carried away by the river.
