Chapter 13 - The Paramedics Arrive

Valeria lay on the wet stone, her hands still clutched fiercely around her stomach, shivering violently as shock fully set in.

Less than five minutes later, a team of paramedics rushed through the side gates of the estate, carrying trauma bags and a collapsed stretcher.

They immediately surrounded Valeria, checking her vitals and covering her in thick, thermal foil blankets.

As they carefully lifted her onto the stretcher, Daniel refused to let go of her hand. He walked right beside her, his soaked clothes clinging to his body.

Tears continued to fall freely from his eyes.

Valeria looked up at him from the stretcher. Despite the freezing cold and the agonizing fear she had just endured, she offered him a faint, weak smile.
