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.
