After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 755

Aveline’s face lit up with relief.

She quickly asked, “Has the fire outside died down?”

Braden replied, “It’s under control now. Please, open the door.”

Wrapping the wet clothes around herself to shield against any remaining flames, Aveline carefully opened the door.

Braden, covering his mouth and nose with a damp towel, exhaled in relief when he saw she was safe.

“Mrs. Tudor, come with me!” he urged.

Aveline stepped out and saw the source of the fire—it had spread from the kitchen, consuming the nearby rooms and sending thick smoke billowing through the air.

Zachary, who had woken up early, had already evacuated the children and was now fighting the flames with a fire extinguisher.

Baron, with a team of bodyguards, had hooked up a hose and managed to contain much of the blaze, giving Braden the chance to get inside and lead Aveline to safety.

Aveline’s room was dangerously close to the kitchen; if the fire hadn’t been brought under control, it would have soon reached her.

“Mrs. Tudor, are you alright?” Baron rushed over as soon as he saw her, concern etched across his face.

Aveline shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Baron breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Please, head over there to rest. We’ve just destroyed the signal jammer, and we’ve called the fire department. Help should arrive shortly.”

Aveline nodded, “Okay.”

In the courtyard of the orphanage, the children huddled together, their small faces filled with fear as they stared wide-eyed in the direction of the fire.

Aveline walked over and checked each child, asking if anyone was hurt. Seeing that none of them were injured, she let out a big sigh of relief.

Zachary, covered in soot, approached and noticed her wrapped in damp clothes.

"Aren't you cold like that?" he asked.

Aveline shook her head. “I’m fine. I was just trying to be prepared in case the fire spread.”
