And from what Ella could surmise, she was screaming occasionally after she passed out. That caused panic in the kidnappers because they were worried that she would die.
And later, when some of them had gone to deal with Ruby…
''With my hands tied, I could not do much when they approached. But before they could do anything, there were screams from your side of the room.''
''Did they hit me?" That would explain why she woke up sore.
''The person screaming was not you. It was them.''

After giving it a thought, Ella barely remembered anything between being unconscious and waking up in the Eve Mansion. But judging by the screams, the timing, and the fact that she was still alive, Adrian must've gotten there in time.
''Hearing the noises, the people who had come to my room kicked me along with the chair and I… lost consciousness. After that, I woke up here.''
"What about Ronan? Are you close to him?"
Ruby frowned, ''He is a stranger.''
