Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 594

"Here they come! Here they come!" someone in the crowd yelled, "We've got an injured kid here, doctors, get over here quick!"

Selena stopped dead in her tracks and whipped around, her gaze locked on a firefighter carrying a small figure. Even through the darkness and distance, and despite the child's face being smudged with soot, she knew immediately. It was her precious Mateo!

She ripped off her mask and rushed over.

Little Mateo was laid out on a stretcher, unconscious, his condition unclear as emergency responders worked frantically over him.

Selena stood nearby, tears streaming down her cheeks as she watched her son.

Ricky was murmuring prayers of thanks that at least the boy was out of the inferno; they couldn't bear to think how the night might have ended otherwise.

Luckily, Mateo didn't have any visible injuries, a small blessing, but he must've inhaled a lot of smoke, so he needed to get to the hospital fast for a thorough check-up.

They fitted him with an oxygen mask and loaded him into the ambulance, with Selena climbing in right behind him.

Clinging to her son's small hand, she kept kissing it, her heart brimming with relief and gratitude.
