Chapter 274

The tenth floor, that was Chiloé's floor. Wyatt was still home alot!

Chloe turned pale, silently praying in her heart, hoping that nothing was wrong at her home. Everything was perfectly fine when she left in the morning.

She quickly parked the car, and both of them alinost simultaneously opened the doors and got out.

Looking up, they saw the window of Chloe's tenth-floor apartment engulfed in flames and thick smoke billowing out.

In an instant, Chloe's legs turned to jelly, her heart seemed to step, and her face went pale.

With her mind blank, she suddenly noticed a small figure tightly gripping the balcony railing on the ninth floor, with the whole body hanging outside and no support for the feet.

"Wyatt!" Chloe's voice was hoarse, yet she dared not shout too loudly, her heart in her throat, fearing he might let go and fall.

Wyatt's gaze was fixed below. "Mommy! Mommy!" He shouted with all his might, holding onto the railing for dear life.

The crowd downstairs grew larger, and Chloe and Ophelia pushed through, wanting to rush into the building but were stopped by the firefighters. "No, it's too dangerous inside; it could explode at any moment." "Mommy! It's dangerous. Don't come up." Wyatt's voice trembled. Even though he was terrified himself.

almost swallowing him up.

"Wyatt, you must hold on!" Ophelia looked around anxiously, the inflatable air cushion still inflating below.

She ran forward and grabbed a bed sheet hanging on the first floor, unfolding it with some kind residents to catch Wyatt if she couldn't hold on.

Wyatt nodded and gripped tighter with his small hands.
