Chapter 218 She Was About to Turn Eighteen

After hanging up, the men exchanged looks with each other and their gazes met for a short moment. However, they separated and left soon after that. As for Elise and Alexander, who were stuck in the burning building, they felt quite suffocated by the billowing smoke.

Elise was significantly affected and she started to feel her world spinning in front of her. Though they were safe from the flames at the moment, the amount of carbon monoxide that they had taken in was significant too.

”Hang in there! I’m about to break this door!” Alexander practically used all of his might to smash the door while comforting Elise at the same time.

Just then, Alexander was so frantic that he managed to kick open the door with all of his might. Then, he rushed out of the burning building with Elise in his arms.

She frowned slightly and moved her elbows slightly. She was just about to get up when both of her hands were suddenly held tightly in place.

“Don’t move. You just woke up but you need more rest.”

She lifted her head and suddenly became aware of Alexander’s presence next to her. He looked quite haggard just then.

“Are you fine? I thought we were in the fiery building earlier?”

He quickly comforted her, “It’s alright. Everything’s fine. We’re safe now.”

Upon hearing that, Elise heaved a sigh of relief but at the same time, she found it quite strange. “Why did the place catch fire all of a sudden?”
