Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 1176:

When the plane doors opened at the airport, two men emerged from separate flights, both moving with urgency and apprehension. They headed straight for the base of the mountain upon landing.

Margie stood waiting, her face pale, eyes fixed on the towering white peak in the distance.

The moment she saw Norton approaching, a wave of emotion crashed over her. She ran to him, her voice trembling. “I know you! You’re Yvonne’s husband. If I had kept track of her, this wouldn’t have happened. Please—you have to find her. You must find Yvonne!” Her voice broke under the weight of remorse.

Norton had no patience for her emotional outburst. He gave a curt nod. “Got it.” Without hesitation, he pulled on his rescue gear and turned to the team. “I’m going in with you.”

Leif, standing stiffly nearby, broke in with a worried frown. “You shouldn’t. It’s too dangerous out there.”

Norton’s voice left no room for debate. “If I don’t go, who will?”

Leif could only watch in silence as Norton and the search party disappeared into the blinding white of the mountain.
