Suddenly, a face appeared at the window, startling Elisa.

That prompted her to check the face closer and see it was Gareth.

Elisa covered her mouth, afraid that her surprise gasp might slip out as a shout.

Tears soon filled her eyes.

She didn't show any emotions when she was kidnapped or threatened.

It wasn't because she was afraid.

After all, Mr. Carrerra was ruthless, merciless, and a madman.

It was just that she couldn't afford to be afraid as she had to always consider Rachel's feelings. Over time, she just became numb to her feelings.

The moment Elisa saw Gareth, it was as if she had seen her savior.

Gareth was determined to meet Elisa, regardless of the cost and hardships. He even risked being discovered at any moment to meet her.

The moment he saw Elisa, he felt that all his efforts were worth it.

“Are you okay?” Gareth asked with a faint smile, silently inquiring about Elisa's situation through lip-reading.


Elisa nodded, then as if something had occurred to her, she asked, “Have you found Rachel?”

Gareth nodded, understanding that Elisa cared about Rachel, so he briefly shared how he encountered Rachel.

Apparently, the day after Rachel reached the highway, she had no strength left and collapsed onto the ground.

Five burly men advanced toward her menacingly.

One of them was about to strike her with a machete, and she closed her eyes in fear. Yet, surprisingly, the emotion that filled her mind at that moment was not fear but guilt.

She felt guilty for letting Elisa down and delivering the message.

What followed next in her mind were desperate prayers.

She hoped she didn't hinder Elisa's survival and that Gareth would find Elisa soon.

At that moment, Rachel also realized that people's lives flashed past their eyes on the verge of death.

Surprisingly, Rachel also saw Vincent in her flashbacks.

In her mind, Vincent was sometimes annoyingly cheap but also very competent.

She thought it was a pity that their relationship would end with her death. However, she was also convinced that he was heartless. She believed he would forget about her soon after she died, despite the fact he claimed to like her.

As unwilling as she was for things to end that way, she didn't feel too regretful about it.

After waiting for a long while, the pain she was anticipating did not come.

Rachel opened her eyes and saw the three burly men who had been standing before her were sprawling haphazardly on the ground.

After scanning her environment, she saw the person who was just in front of her.

Vincent jumped out of the car and sprinted toward her direction.

Rachel just sat there, stunned, on the ground.

It wasn't until she received a warm hug that she returned to her senses.

“You scared me to death! Do you know that?” exclaimed Vincent.
