Chapter 1214

Chapter 1214However, after about ten minutes, the security footage cut off abruptly.
Shane's face fell. “What happened?”
Connor sighed. “The helicopter flew beyond this country's borders into another country. That's why the
satellite's security footage cut off automatically. Otherwise, other countries would think they're trying to
spy on them, and it'd cause an international dispute.”
“So that's why it stopped,” Joyce and the others murmured, nodding as they realized what had
happened.
As for Shane, he frowned without saying a word.
Silas looked at Shane and asked, “What should we do now? Should we approach that country's
government to ask if we can use their satellite to track the helicopter?”
“That won't be any use,” Connor piped up, suddenly shaking his head.
All eyes turned to him.
Scratching his head, Connor elaborated, “Not all countries have satellites. The helicopter headed to a
developing country that doesn't have the resources to build a satellite of its own, so there's no point in
going to them.”
Joyce's eyes widened. “Then, does that mean we've lost all trace of Nat?”
Connor balled his fists as he replied, “You could say so.”
“I have to find Natalie no matter what it takes,” Shane declared. He stood up and said to Connor,
“Compile a list of all the countries that lie in the direction the helicopter was heading. I'll search everycountry one by one. Also, save a copy of the security footage and hand it over to the police so they can
trace where the helicopter is from.”
Unlike cars, there were not that many helicopters.
On top of that, every helicopter had a GPS tracker. As long as they managed to trace the helicopter's
manufacturer and made some inquiries there, they would be able to use the GPS tracker to determine
the helicopter's location.
“All right.” Connor nodded solemnly and began tapping away on the laptop again.
Then, Shane asked Silas to follow him out of the hotel.
Over at the island, Natalie stood on the beach for almost two hours until darkness fell and strong gusts
of sea breeze howled in the air. The maid came out of the villa with a coat and said, “Madam, it's about
to rain. Let's go back inside.”
She held out the coat and draped it over Natalie's shoulders.
Natalie's first thought was to refuse the coat, but thinking that she should take good care of her health
so that she could escape, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Even if I'm stuck on a deserted island, I can't lose hope. I've got to think of a way to escape this place.
At the very least, I have to contact Shane somehow.
“Thank you,” she replied as the coat immediately warmed up her freezing body.
The maid stepped aside. “You're welcome, madam. Let's go back.”
That was the second time she had asked Natalie to return to the villa.
With one last glance at the sea, Natalie nodded. “Okay.”The two ladies turned and walked toward the villa.
Once they were back inside, the maid poured Natalie a glass of water.
Something gleamed in Natalie's eyes as she took the glass. “Are you the only help here? Aren't there
any others like bodyguards or something?”
The main nodded. “Yes, there's only me.”
Natalie looked around thoughtfully.
So, there really aren't any bodyguards. The person who brought me here must be very confident that
there's no way for me to run and thinks that it's sufficient to have just one maid keep watch over me.
After taking a sip of the water, Natalie put down the glass.
Seeing that, the maid asked, “Would you like some fruits?”
Natalie shook her head. “No, thanks. I don't have any appetite.”
“All right.” The maid did not press the matter.

After a few seconds, her eyes lit up. She turned to the housekeeper and said, “The lunch today was not
bad. The only thing was that the vegetables weren't that fresh. Don't we have any fresh vegetables?”
The maid sighed. “Well, it's like this. The vegetables you had at lunch were freshly picked and sent
here via express delivery. However, because the island is quite far from the mainland, it takes two days
to get here by boat. That's why the vegetables aren't as fresh by the time they get delivered.”
