Joaquin and Ella were on their way back to campus when one of Joaquin's nerdy friends called. He answered the phone right away because he knew they would not call him unless there was an emergency that required immediate attention.

"Wait a minute, what?" Joaquin shockingly said he was so taken aback that he slammed the brake pedal, bringing their vehicle to a complete stop.

Ella was startled and nearly collided with the dashboard, but thankfully she was wearing a seatbelt.

"What exactly is going on?" Ella inquired, concerned.

Ella noticed a ghastly whiteness spreading over Joaquin's face. She feared that Edward could be in trouble, so she kept asking him what was going on. Joaquin immediately started the engine and drove hurriedly back to the campus.

"Edward was taken by Corazon's men," he said panicky to her.

Joaquin tries to concentrate on driving; he

Edward's mother is on her way!" Joaquin had forewarned her.He began to sweat profusely because he couldn't bear the thought of being caught in the act. He is concerned that Hermann will lose his job as a result of his efforts to assist them.

When she felt that the rescue breath that Edward was giving her had turned into a kiss, she pretended to be asleep. Ella somehow pretended to be hallucinating or dreaming of kissing in her sleep. Being kissed by Edward as Ella and not the masked woman was the best thing that had happened to her. She wanted to savor every moment she had with Edward and feel his touch once again."Someone is overly cheerful today," Bruce said to Ella. "My dear, you are blossoming.

All I asked for was a day free of interference from them," he said firmly to the person on the other end of the phone.When Edward saw Ella walk into the kitchen, he imme

Edward froze on the spot, and his eyes were staring in disbelief when she saw that the masked woman had overheard everything that his mother said. He wants to come to her but just doesn't know how to explain the situation.Ella noticed a tightening in her chest.
