Chapter 232

"Just now, the cement block upstairs wasn't secured properly and came crashing down. I was so busy trying to help people; I couldn't even think about answering my phone."

Brandon said this, his eyes scanning the chaotic cement floor, as if searching for something. Sophia, almost instinctively, followed his gaze to the ground.

Among the rubble, she spotted a black smartphone.

The construction foreman nearby noticed it too, bent down, picked it up, and handed it to Brandon, "Is this your phone?"

"Yeah."

Brandon reached out to take it.

"Thanks," he said politely, glancing at the phone, which was smashed and powered off.

The foreman looked at Brandon's busted phone and clapped him on the shoulder, "No need for thanks; it's us who should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, we could've had a fatality on our hands."

Sophia couldn't help but glimpse at him.

From his reaction, it was clear he didn't know Brandon and just assumed he was a passerby.

Brandon didn't seem to want to reveal his identity and just looked at the damaged phone in his hand before turning back to the spot where the block had fallen, not saying a word.

The foreman was also concerned about his arm.

Brandon had just been passing by when the block fell, and no one had noticed because they were all busy below.

After shouting "Watch out!" he had lunged toward the workers in the path of the falling block, narrowly pushing him to safety and saving two lives.
