Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 277

That night was undoubtedly an agonizing one for Leon Ambrose.

His search and rescue teams scoured the coastal mountains for hours by foot and helicopter. The trails were treacherous, choked with mud and loose gravel, while gale-force winds whipped freezing rain down upon them.

Leon was on the verge of losing his mind. The GPS tracker showed she was right here in this vicinity, so why couldn't they find her?

In such brutal conditions, every passing second his sister remained exposed increased the danger exponentially.

"The brush is too thick here. Check every corner carefully. Leave no stone unturned!"

"Yes, sir!"

They searched relentlessly until the horizon finally bled into a pale gray dawn.

A group sweeping the area with flashlights finally spotted Vivienne huddled beside a dense thicket.

Her expensive designer outfit was soaked through with mud, and she was covered in dead leaves and twigs, looking utterly ragged.

A deep, bleeding gash tore across her right knee.

Exposed to the freezing elements and starved for hours, she was drifting in and out of consciousness. Her entire body convulsed with violent shivers, and her lips were tinged blue.

"Vivienne! Vivienne!"

When Leon called her name, she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

Seeing his sister in such a state made a suffocating wave of despair crash over him. His brow furrowed deeply as he bent down and scooped her muddy frame into his arms.

"Where's the medical team?"

Anticipating that the search would take hours, Leon had preemptively dispatched a private rescue squad, knowing a standard ambulance ride to the hospital might take too long.

"Parked right behind our SUVs."

Without waiting for the medics to rush over, Leon turned and strode toward the medical unit stationed at the trailhead.
