Another week went by, and the rescue team had fished more than a hundred bodies out from the sea. Yet, there was no sign of Vinson and Arielle.

Aaron was overwhelmed with despair. He had not been able to sleep well as he was busy handling national affairs and keeping a watchful eye on the rescue operation.

Celeste was so worried about her son that she decided to leave the palace to meet him. Her heart sank when she saw how frail and skinny Aaron had become.
