By the time she woke up, Tony had already arrived outside her apartment.

The moment she opened her eyes, which were still bleary with sleep, she was immediately cradled in his firm embrace once more as he carried her into the building.

His arms were like a warm cage containing her scent. She was fully awake now and she clung onto the front of his shirt as she quietly buried her face into his chest, breathing in and growing attached to his familiar scent.

Tony tightened his grip on her as they made their way through the green boulevard and toward the apartment lobby. They then ran into an anxious Estelle, who had been waiting outside the building.

Estelle had been feeling uneasy ever since she saw Kris earlier that afternoon. After she found out that Myra was going to meet up with Thomas for dinner at Zion Club, she had cajoled Shawn into going as well.

When Shawn called Estelle earlier to inform her of what had happened, she had wanted to go up to Kris and give her a good beating.

It did not take a sleuth to figure out that Kris had something to do with all of this.

Estelle was enraged, but she was more concerned about Myra. She dared not think that something terrible could have happened to Myra.

Upon seeing Tony making his way over with Myra in his arms, Estelle half-jogged up to him and asked frantically, “How is she? Is she okay? Was she hurt?”

Tony’s face was grim. Myra, on the other hand, looked up from his arms when she heard Estelle’s voice. She softened when she saw the panic in Estelle’s eyes and said softly, “I’m fine. Tony, Deputy Mayor Hart, and Elliot all arrived in time.”
