"Pierre?"
Kristen struggled to get up, almost unable to believe what she had heard.
"Kristen?"
Patrick shouted again.
"Pierre!"
Kristen could be sure that Patrick was back this time.
Pierre, who had been through the darkest time with her, was back.
Kristen staggered to the door and opened it.
When she saw the man standing outside the door, Kristen collapsed.
"Kristen?"
Patrick was even more surprised to see Kristen.
What on earth happened?
In just a month, she had been tortured like this.
Who did it?
"Pierre."
Kristen reached out to hold Patrick and cried, "Pierre, where did you go?
"Why did you come back so late?
"I thought I really lost you.
"Pierre..."
"I came back. I'm sorry, Kristen."
Patrick took Kristen into the house and held her in his arms. He was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
