Chapter 49

Thomas honestly told Matthew everything that he had knowledge of.

Hearing Thomas’ words caused Matthew’s heart to palpitate as he felt his breathing slowing down. The strange feeling made him uncomfortable. “Immediately call the fire department!”

“I’ll do it now.”

After hanging up, Matthew put the pedal to the metal. As the car screeched, what followed thereafter was a vehicle that sped as fast as lightning, dodging and cutting off other drivers as they voiced their anger.

He couldn’t care less about this, though.

 

After ten minutes, he had finally arrived at Regalia Condominium.

It was the dead of night and everyone was asleep except for the community of the condominium where people had gathered under it.

 

The residents in the second block where Veronica lived were all woken up by the commotion as a lot of people fled down the stairs. Some even shouted, “There’s a fire. A fire has broken out. Quickly go and save the ones who are still trapped inside.”

“Call 911.”

“I’ve already called the emergency services, but since the people are on the eighth floor, there will be some difficulty in saving them.”

“If there’s anyone, please quickly head up to the eighth floor and evacuate any remaining residents.”

“Someone’s shouting.”

All the security guards in the community had rushed to the second block to evacuate the residents after activating the fire alarm.

Yet, there were still no signs of the fire truck after a long time.

Standing outside, Matthew looked at the blazing fire on the eighth floor as his heart

started to race in nervousness.

Then, he dashed toward the second block.

However, the security guard stationed at the ground floor suddenly stopped him. “Sir, there’s a fire in there. You cannot go in right now.”
