"While he was monitoring the work in Linden City, there was an explosion on site at night. He was affected and was sent to the hospital urgently." Xander stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. "What was the cause of the explosion?"

"The workers hadn't stored the materials properly, which resulted in the explosion. The explosion was contained, and work progress is unimpeded." Hazel paused. "However, the update from the hospital is that Jake has been severely injured. He may need to be brought back here for treatment."
