Justin’s subordinates arrived at the scene soon after. They carried flashlights and spread out to search for Bella.
Though his leather shoes and pants were covered in mud from running into the rain, Justin could not care less. His red-rimmed eyes were laced with anxiety and worry.
“Slow down, Mr. Salvador. Be careful!” Ian tried to keep up with him. He was dumbfounded.
What happened?
Why was Bella alone in a shithole?
…
Bella sorted out the four perverts and whacked them to the ground.
However, the fight drained her completely, and it took everything in her not to collapse.
She snatched the phone from one of them and headed straight into the rain in the dark again.
Not wanting to be tracked down by the persistent perverts, Bella did not stop once to rest, as she had no more energy to fend off another danger.
Bella numbly walked ahead, unable to feel her legs.
Finally, she could not move another step anymore and went limp in a run-down gazebo. She took a quick break before contacting Justin.
Above all, she feared Justin could not find her.
…
Time passed.
Bella hugged her knees and curled up into a ball, burying her face into her legs and drifting off. However, she clung tightly to the phone.
Her dream brought her back to three years ago.
Bleeding profusely from the car crash, she gripped the doctor’s arm and pleaded in tears.
“Please save my baby…”
“Bella!”
