Some men had tried to attach her but luckily, Mylene had been able to run outside just on time to cry for help while a lady drove her to the hospital. She had been bleeding as her attacker had stabbed her with a knife.

Valeria had been trying to be strong but she'd just reached her limits. She tried not to speak, out of fear that her voice could crack. "Hey..." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Look at me, you're safe now. That's all that matters."
