After searching for over a week, Dick finally had to give up.
In the vast desert, finding a man of no significant consequence was no easy task.
Only Ye Xuan and Xu Shuo hadn't given up, relentlessly searching. They searched for about half a month, but to no avail.
Gu Nanqiao had not gone back to the desert; her physical strength was weak, and she had been feeling significantly unwell recently. Going there would not only have been pointless, but it might also have caused additional trouble for them.
She stayed in Dick's military camp, almost always confining herself inside that room without going out. She ate on schedule and slept on schedule, but she barely spoke.
Mandy worried that continuing like this for long would affect her mentally and occasionally visited to chat with her whenever she had time.
Whenever Ye Xuan and Xu Shuo returned, Gu Nanqiao's spirits were noticeably lifted, but those glimmers of hope would slowly diminish when she saw no one else with them.
