President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 169

Instantly after saying these words, the fire inside the kitchen abruptly became more vigorous. Not bothering how dangerous the situation was, Hayden rushed in and the people at the door subconsciously tried to stop her but they failed.

“Ms. Downey…”

The thick smoke had filled the air. Hayden shouted in the kitchen, “Stella…”

The scene in the kitchen was chaotic. The pots and pans were smashed all over the floor. The place where the fire initially formed was the storeroom. At this moment, the fire had spread to the spice rack in the middle of the two rows of stoves. Smoke and sparks were whirling in all directions and this made Hayden choked and coughed continuously.

With vigorous flame in the middle, Hayden saw that a pink figure was lying in the corner. Without even thinking about it, she rushed over, took off her jacket and wrapped Stella firmly. She then carried her in her arms and ran in the direction of going out.

The fire was getting more vigorous. The tongue of flame that suddenly formed almost engulfed people. Hayden felt that her face was burning and slightly painful due to the flame.

The moment she ran out of the kitchen, she felt like she had a narrow escape from death.

The voices outside were filtered by Hayden in her mind.

“She has come out.”

“Ms. Downey, the ambulance has arrived.”

While carrying Stella in her arms, without saying anything else, she hurriedly headed to the direction pointed by a waiter in the crowd who reminded her of the ambulance. As she walked, she glanced at a familiar figure standing in the crowd. The person looked terrified and was cowering, who was totally unlike the appearance she had seen earlier.

She did not have time to think about it and rushed to the hospital with Stella.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, the doctor in charge came out of the emergency room and comforted her.

“There is nothing serious. The smoke has choked her inside her nose and throat. She’ll need to be hospitalized for a few days for observations.”

Hayden heaved a sigh of relief, “Thank you, doctor.”

“Go in and see the child. She’s awake now.”

“Okay.”

After watching the doctor leaving, Hayden hurriedly pulled the partition curtain of the emergency room. The tiny figure was lying inside the white sheet and she only revealed her face. Her face was grey like a little tabby kitten and she was looking at her with a bewildered face.

“Mommy…”

When she saw Hayden, her eyes became clearer. But, her voice was very hoarse and she coughed as soon as she spoke.

“Mommy is here. The doctor says that you need to take a rest, don’t talk if you find it difficult.”

Hayden hurriedly sat at the bedside and held Stella’s hand.

Stella nodded. She glanced at the place behind Hayden and after hesitating for a moment, she said difficultly in a muffled tone.

“Where is Noah?”

“He’s in the hotel. The head waiter says that Noah has gone to the washroom. Mommy didn’t have time to inform him before I sent you to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Stella’s eyes suddenly widened as if she wanted to say something but she coughed violently.

“What’s wrong?”

Stella was a little panicky. Hayden hurriedly patted her shoulder, “Don’t be anxious, Stella.”

“Mommy…ahem, ahem, ahem…” Stella spoke intermittently, “Noah, Noah, cough cough…Noah…in the kitchen, the fire is very vigorous…”

“What do you say? Where is Noah?”

Hayden’s brain immensely exploded, “In the kitchen?”

Stella nodded and was on the verge of tears. She pushed Hayden, “Mommy, go to save Noah…”

Hayden almost went crazy. It had been almost two hours since she rescued Stella from the fire. She did not dare to imagine what would be the situation now if Noah had been in the kitchen all along and had not been discovered.

After getting out of the cab, she ran all the way back to the hotel. The fire engine was already doing the finishing work. A large number of customers and hotel staff were standing in front of the hotel. When she saw Jeff from afar, she ran over to grab his arm.
