No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 1820

Chapter 1820 Stranger

She didn't even know if the intruder was still in her room when the police arrived.

It was terrifying to be alone when your life was in danger.

Elisa knew exactly how Bella felt in this situation as a woman herself. Her mind was reeling with worry for Bella's safety. She pitied Bella for having to go through this alone.

Gareth knew Elisa could only calm down if she saw Bella with her own eyes. So, without a word, he pressed on the accelerator, speeding through the highway in his black Mercedes-Benz.

They arrived at the police station after about ten minutes.

Elisa immediately got out of the car and started walking towards the police station, but Gareth called out to her.

Elisa turned around slowly. Before she could see who it was, she felt the warmth of a coat wrapped around her from behind and caught a whiff of a familiar scent. The small gesture made her feel as if she was being wrapped around his arms, easing her anxiety.

Gareth swiftly held Elisa's hands as she stared blankly at him.

"Let's go."

They went inside the police station together, and one of the officers guided them to the waiting room. As soon as Elisa entered, she saw Bella, who was shivering. She couldn't tell if she was trembling due to the cold or her fears.

"Don't worry, we're here now," Elisa said, her eyes staring gravely into Bella's.

As soon as Bella saw Elisa, she shot up to her feet and wrapped her arms around her tightly. Elisa was like a guardian angel to her; she felt like she was enveloped in a warm blanket of safety.

Elisa hugged her back tightly and slowly patted her back, showering her with warmth. "You don't have to be afraid anymore, Bella," she assured gently. "We're here for you."

Elisa had a way of making people feel calm and secure, even when she didn't say or do anything. Bella felt her fear slowly melt away as she held Elisa close.

Her eyes were bloodshot and swollen, like a rabbit that had been chased by a fox. She was usually a very strong person, but she had been through a lot that day.

Elisa felt terrible for Bella and wanted to help her feel better. She cupped Bella's cheeks in her hands and looked into her eyes. "Look at me, Bella," she said in a soft and tender voice. "You're okay now. Once you're feeling better, you can tell me what happened."

Bella's eyes widened in fear as if the scenes from before were playing right before her eyes.

At that moment, Gareth came to her after learning about what had happened from the police.

As the people she was familiar with surrounded her, she finally felt the tension in her shoulders release. She smiled for the first time in hours, knowing she was safe.

"When I went back home in the evening, I saw a pair of slippers by the entrance of my house," Bella said, her voice trembling. "My instinct told me that something wasn't right. I always left my shoes on the shoe rack whenever I went out, but I didn't want to overthink it."

Bella's words started to get caught in her throat as she explained. Elisa noticed how her breath quickened and slowly patted her back to calm her down.

"After that, I went to the bathroom. I was feeling a little uneasy, but I tried to ignore it. I sat down on the toilet bowl and noticed that it was warm. My heart pounded fast, and I didn't dare get out of the bathroom. I texted you, but I didn't get a reply, so I thought you were asleep."

Elisa's mind raced as she tried to remember what she had been doing. She realized that she must have been in the shower when it happened.

"I went online to find ways to contact the police and immediately called them. While waiting for the police, someone tried to open the door. The door was locked, but they turned the knob several times and started to push the door hard. I was terrified. I didn't know what else to do, so I stood behind the door with a plunger, scared they would bang the door open."
