Chapter 1215
Jared stood outside and waited anxiously. Whenever someone came out from the factory, he would look over and check them out.
’Miss, there's a fire at your destination! I'd advise you not to go there," the cab driver kindly reminded.
"Sir, please just hurry up," Nicole ordered, as she was already panicking in the car and was not in the mood to deal with any of it.
Soon after, the cab stopped at the entrance gate of the factory, with Nicole getting out of the car and running inside at once.
"Miss, you haven't paid for your fare!" the driver shouted.
However, Nicole did not hear him at all, and before he knew it, she was out of his sight already.
"Jared, what is the current condition inside?" Nicole ran up behind him and asked.
"Nicole? What are you doing here?" Jared looked at Nicole in shock.
He did not expect her to receive the news so soon. In fact, he was planning to hide this news from her.
"I rushed here immediately after I saw the news article," Nicole replied.
"Where's Martin?" she questioned.
"He's in there," he answered.
"What is he doing in there? Don't tell me..." Nicole looked at Jared, her eyes widened and her face as pale as sheet.
Her reaction was quickly followed by a sigh of relief. Fortunately, things did not turn out the way she had imagined. "I'll head inside and check things out."
Jared quickly grabbed onto her arm and looked at her sternly. "You can't go in."
'Why? Haven't they extinguished the fire already?" Nicole asked Jared in confusion.
"Although they've extinguished it completely, there are still a lot of risks that we aren't aware of in there. I've checked it out moments ago, and the whole place is still filled with smoke. It's very dangerous for you to enter without a mask," Jared explained to Nicole in haste.
Hearing Jared's explanation, Nicole could only stare at the burned factory helplessly as she panicked.
'Why didn't you stop Martin then? How could you let him enter when it's already so dangerous in there?" Nicole began to blame Jared.
"How sure are you that I did not stop him? I've tried, but he was really stubborn about it. No one could stop him." Jared eyed her with a grimace.
'Why is she blaming me now?’ he thought.
It was then that Max dragged Martin behind him as he came out from the factory.
"Max, how are things in there? Have you seen Martin?" Nicole asked in a hurry.
"Nicole?!” Martin yelled. Why is she back here too?'
Nicole came to realize that the person Max was dragging behind him was Martin after hearing his voice.
Martin's face was covered in soot at that moment. He looked so haggard and filthy that it was hard for anyone to recognize him.
"Martin?" Nicole asked. "Are you okay?"
Seeing that Martin had walked out safely, Nicole felt a lot calmer.
