Chapter 115 A Firm Decision
The moment Sienna heard the update, her face turned as pale as snow.
Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
Finished
No longer able to maintain a facade of calm or composure, she bit down on her lip, her mouth quivering in obvious distress.
“So you’re saying… there’s basically no chance they survived?”
Her voice trembled as she murmured the words, her eyes filled with grief and despair.
Jean, however, remained calm.
The rescue team had just begun to expand their search area, moving beyond the wreckage to cover a wider radius.
“Mom, don’t panic yet,” she said calmly, trying to calm Sienna’s emotions. “Let’s wait for the search teams to finish checking the area.”
Sienna’s gaze dropped, her eyes dull and lifeless. Her lips barely moved as she murmured, “If they couldn’t find anything nearby, there’s no hope further out… What if…”
She thought of all the tragic plane crashes where the victims had been reduced to nothing, not even a trace of a body left behind.
What if Dominic had ended up the same way?
The thought almost crushed her.
A dull, excruciating pain spread through her chest.
She couldn’t accept it.
Jean patted her shoulder gently, hoping to calm her.
They continued to wait.
About two hours later, another update came from the rescue team, even after expanding the search zone, there were still no signs of life.
In short, they had found no survivors and no bodies..
Just the wreckage and scattered luggage.
Not a single person had been found.
Sienna was almost in pieces.

Jean remained composed, her expression calm and steady.
It makes sense that they haven’t found anyone.
Time–wise, this isn’t when they’re supposed to.
Sienna looked at her daughter.
Jean’s thoughts sounded so cryptic that I didn’t quite understand. Would they be found or not?
I knew that Jean was hiding something.
My daughter can see the future.
But I can’t ask directly; I will risk revealing that I can hear Jean’s thoughts.
So Sienna just pursed her lips and stared at her daughter in silence.
Jean said nothing more. She walked past Sienna, opened the door, and stepped outside.
By now the sun had fully set, and even the last rays of twilight had faded.
Darkness crept across the sky.
Finished
As the night deepened, visibility diminished even further. The dense forest ahead looked like a monstrous shadow, ready to devour anything that came near.
Jean had already made up her mind.
She was going to search for Dominic herself.
But now was obviously not the right time. The forest was too dangerous at night.
She would wait until the morning.
Jean returned inside.
Sienna was still standing, looking completely lost, her pale face blank.
“Mom,” Jean said softly, patting her gently on the shoulder. “Let’s rest tonight. We’ll decide everything tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?” Sienna echoed, her voice unfocused. “I don’t think I can relax… or fall asleep…
Her eyes were dim. “Just thinking about my son, not even leaving a trace…”
Suddenly she looked up, her expression urgent.
“Jean, shall I go with the search party? I want to see for myself.”

collapse before we find Dominic?”
#Finished
Jean’s voice was calm, but there was a tender edge to it. Sienna paused to consider her daughter’s words.
They made sense.
She reluctantly gave up the idea of joining the search.
That night they checked into a modest hotel in the nearby town. It wasn’t luxurious, but at least it was clean.
The search team continued, planning to search through the night.
Besides looking for survivors, they had another critical task, finding the plane’s black box.
The black box, or flight data recorder, was the key to determining the cause of the crash.
Meanwhile, social media back home was abuzz with updates about the incident.
Each new report rose to the top of trending lists within minutes.
The news that the wreckage had been found, but no people, quickly went viral.
“So they found the wreckage, but no people?”
“That’s normal, right? Survival is almost impossible in these cases…”
“I’m still waiting for a miracle to happen. I don’t want to believe it’s over.”
“They’re probably gone. Not even complete remains.
“So tragic… A brilliant young man, not even thirty, just gone?”
“If they’re gone, let’s find the black box. I want to know what caused the crash.”
“Frankly, it was predictable. The plane crashed in a forest. There’s almost no chance of survival.”
“Everyone on board is probably dead.”
“So no miracle happened… I’m devastated.”
“Don’t give up yet. Keep looking. There may still be hope.”
“Argh, another heartbreaking tragedy…”
Jean sat alone in her hotel room.

The boy in black appeared again, standing silently in front of her.
Jean met his night–colored eyes and said directly, “Ludwig, I want to go to the crash site tomorrow. You’re coming with me.”
Finished
Ludwig didn’t even flinch, as if he had expected this. He flexed his fingers slightly and replied. calmly, “Sure. I’ll go wherever you go.”
Jean smiled and nodded toward the long sofa nearby. “You’ll have to sleep here tonight.”
Ludwig looked at the couch and curled his lips. “It’s fine. I can sleep anywhere.”
And so Jean brushed her teeth and cleaned herself early, turned off the light, and went to bed.
Tomorrow will be a busy day.
I need rest.
Meanwhile, Ludwig lay quietly on the sofa in the far corner.
Not even the sound of his breathing could be heard.
