Chapter 634 Nightmare

The giant floor-to-ceiling window of the studio was smashed before a few sticks of fire were hurled through the hole. In an instant, the studio was set ablaze.

The fire spread rapidly, and its thick smoke stung everyone’s eyes.

Christina was the first to react to the situation and shouted, “Run!”

When the people in the restroom heard the commotion, they immediately left to check the situation. The moment they saw the fire, they sprinted outside.

“Where are you going?” questioned Christina as she grabbed Rayne, who was running into the fire. She was also covering her nose and mouth while coughing.

“Many clients’ information is kept on the computer. I can’t let it be destroyed. You should leave first, Christina. I’ll be out soon.” Without hesitation, Rayne shoved Christina’s hand away and bolted into the

office.

Christina couldn’t watch Rayne dove into the fiery claws of death and do nothing. However, after turning back and taking a few steps forward, she felt someone holding her shoulder. Swiftly, she turned around and heard Lyle speaking with a pant. “Forgive me, Mrs. Hadley!”

Before Christina could react, she registered pain coming from the back of her neck and blacked out.

Lyle promptly carried Christina out of the fire and requested the employees send the latter to an ambulance. After that, he jumped back into the burning building.

When Nathaniel learned the studio was set aflame and that Christina was urgently sent to the hospital, he became frenzied. He ignored all red lights as he sped to this destination.

When the car arrived at the hospital, Sebastian practically crawled out of the vehicle. Unlike Nathaniel, he couldn’t just dash off after experiencing that extreme speed because he wasn’t as physically fit.

Despite his weak legs, he forced himself to keep up with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel ignored Lyle, who was guarding Christina’s ward, and entered the room.

At that moment, Christina was sleeping soundly on the bed, though her face was pale, and she was wearing an oxygen mask.

Agony struck every part of Nathaniel’s body as he stared at her.

“Mr. Hadley, the doctor said Mrs. Hadley and her baby are healthy. She only inhaled a small amount of smoke, so she isn’t in danger,” reported Lyle in a small voice upon ambling into the room.

His naked arms suffered varying degrees of scald, with some parts revealing the bloody flesh underneath his skin. It was a harrowing sight. His golden hair was singed, producing a faint charred scent in the air.

With furrowed eyebrows, Nathaniel glanced at him. “You should treat your wounds first. Report to me later.”

“Understood!” Lyle nodded.
