Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 204

Winnie stared at the blazing fire before her with a frown deeply etched between her brows.

“You don’t have to stop me. I know what I’m doing.”

Despite being older than Winnie, the butler was nowhere near how imposing she was.

He did not attempt to stop her anymore, nor did she continue moving forward.

While dialing Xavier’s number, she turned to the butler and asked, “How much longer will it take for the firefighters to get here? Has the hose in the garden been connected?”

“The firefighters are on their way. The hose isn’t long enough, so we’re trying to think of another way. The main concern is that the winds are too strong tonight. As soon as the sparks fall to the ground, they’ll catch fire immediately. All we can do now is wait for the firefighters to arrive.”

“D*mn it!” Although Winnie heard what the butler said, she had no time to pay attention to those matters. The only thing occupying her mind was that Xavier’s phone was going unanswered.

Thick clouds of smoke have already engulfed the area outside, and the chances of surviving inside the building are only getting bleaker.

The usually calm and composed Winnie could not help cursing. “Aren’t there security guards protecting Old Mr. Fairchild inside that d*mned place? Why hasn’t a single person come out?”

The butler was also feeling anxious. “Don’t get angry, Mrs. Fairchild. No one knows what’s going on inside. Perhaps… Perhaps everyone inside is safe.”

As soon as he had uttered those words, the room in front of them came crashing down.

A house with a wooden frame collapses especially fast. By the looks of things, even if those inside are fine now, there’s no saying whether they’ll be able to get out!

“Where on earth are the firefighters? Why aren’t they here yet?” Winnie was racked with worry.

Immediately after she asked those questions, someone in front yelled, “They’re coming out! The people inside are coming out!”

Upon hearing the shouts, Winnie looked ahead and spotted several people rushing out from the inferno. One of them was carrying another person on his back.

She hurried forward without hesitation.

Those who just escaped had wet towels wrapped around their faces, so she could not tell who they were.

Suddenly, she heard someone say, “Quick! Old Mr. Fairchild is unconscious. Hurry up and call for an ambulance!”

Then, that person lowered Rufus from behind his back.

Seeing that, Winnie and the butler quickly went to help.

Rufus’ breathing became easier after getting out of the burning building. Soon, he opened his eyes and could even talk.

After seeing that Rufus was fine, Winnie began calling Xavier’s name.

As she shouted, she tore away the damp towels covering the faces of the others around Rufus. However, none of them were Xavier.

Her heart lurched and seemed to stop beating for a split second.

A moment later, she regained her senses and asked the people around her worriedly, “Did you see Xavier? He went in about a few minutes ago to save Old Mr. Fairchild. Did you see where he was when you were coming out?”

Two of them shook their heads at once. “No. We didn’t see him.”
