The man's voice instantly made her feel much more at ease, even though she couldn't see his face obscured by the clothing. She instinctively believed that as long as he was there, nothing bad would happen.
Even though he had betrayed her, hurt her, and deceived her so many times.
In this life-and-death moment, the trust she had in him as an automatic reaction, required no reasoning.
She pressed herself firmly against his chest, the chaos behind her gradually fading away, and she calmed down with the man's steady breathing.
After getting into the car, the garment covering her face was finally lifted, but the darkness inside the car made Amelia's heart suddenly panic, and she reached out subconsciously.
With both hands holding her, Daniel Cooper had no other choice but to lower his head and gently bite her fingertip, whispering, "I'm here."
Amelia finally realized she was in his arms but still looking for someone else.
No doubt she was frightened and confused.
