Chapter 1030: No police

"Hey! It's me — shit! Are you okay?"

That question was probably the dumbest thing Patricia had heard today. Did she look okay? Did she look fine? Even though she hadn't seen herself in the mirror, she knew her physical state was a giveaway.

She wasn't fine.

She was scared to death.

Her entire body was in pain and shaking. Her bones felt as soft as tofu, and her heart kept pounding against her chest - it felt like she would faint any second.

But, alas, tears began to coat her eyes as the face before her slowly grew clearer.

Angel.

Her bleeding lips quivered as she bit them, sniffing hard as tears continued to fall down her cheeks. She clasped his arm as tightly as she could as if making sure this was real. She wanted to make sure this wasn't just an illusion — someone had come to save her.

"Ah, shit..." Angel breathed out in irritation, his eyes falling on her exposed shoulders and slightly torn dress. He clicked his tongue in annoyance, taking off his jacket and tossing it over her. "Put that on first. The police are already on their way here."

Angel studied her face for a moment before pushing himself up. For him, what he had done was already enough. He had given her a jacket to cover what she needed to cover. He had to go outside and wait for the police to arrive. But just as he turned his back on her and took a step, he felt a tug on his leg.

"Huh?" Looking back and down, his brows furrowed.

"Please don't go," she begged quietly, his jacket still draped over her head. "Please don't leave."

"I'm not leaving. Did you hear what I said? I'm going outside to wait for the police. You can stay here or come with me, but it's cold. I don't think you'd want to be idling outside in that dress."
