Chapter 1956 He Has Arrived
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.

Rachel could feel that Vincent's body was trembling.
She raised her hand. Instead of pushing him away, she patted his back. She was still in a daze, not
quite knowing how to react. “Don't be scared. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?”
As soon as those words were spoken, both of them were stunned.
Rachel didn't know when she had become so fond of Vincent's good temper.
She nodded, pushing away Vincent a little.
Sensing her resistance, Vincent stood up, his face flushed with embarrassment.
Immediately, he reached out his hand to help Rachel up.
Much to his surprise, Rachel didn't resist. She was genuinely feeling a bit weak at that moment.
Borrowing his strength, she managed to stand up, only to see Gareth looking at her with anxiety.
Rachel didn't beat around the bush. She succinctly explained the whole situation, including Elisa's
predicament.
After hearing everything, Gareth furrowed his brows.
First, they took Rachel to the nearest hotel. Then, Gareth and his gang took their time to make plans.
However, Gareth was always weighed down by his concerns for Elisa.
