Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322

Is there bad blood between me and fire? Why do I always get stirred in a fire?

Elspeth let out a silent sigh. Looking at the tranced Edmund, she yanked him over and ran to the fire exit.

She sprinted while observing the fire only to discover that its point of origin was on the third floor. Considering that they were on the fifth floor, their escape was blocked because the fire had spread to the emergency exit, let alone the elevator.

The throngs on the third floor gathered at the emergency exit, but the blazing fire rendered their escape impossible. Frowning. Elspeth headed to the side.

" Where are you going?" A worried Edmund grasped her wrist.

"Are you an idiot? Where can I possibly go? I'm looking for fire extinguishers and water." She rolled her eyes and glared at him.

"I'm coming with you."

She shook her head. "No. The fire is too strong. All it takes to lose your life is one blunder."

"What about you? Why must you take it upon yourself?"

"We're different! I'm trained for years, and this little fire can't stop me. I would've gotten out of here if it wasn't for you and the people." She almost smacked liis head with a slipper because of his worrying intelligence.

Worry got the best of Edmund, hence his reactions. After understanding the situation, he let go of her hand and removed liis coat. "Take this with you. Soak it and cover yourself with it. It's easy to get burned in that dress."

"Thanks." Elspeth gladly accepted the garment and covered herself with it. It did not take her long to get to the fire hydrant on the fourth floor.

She shook the fire extinguisher, however, to her dismay, it was empty. There should be a weekly fire extinguisher inspection in such a huge shopping mall. As far as I know, never once had a fire broken out in this shopping mall.

This is not a fire accident, but a man-made disaster.

The thought of that possibility made her heart sink almost instantly.

It's too late to search for fire extinguishers now. I can't take many of them by myself either. Is everyone gonna die here?

Anxious, Elspeth tightened her fists and felt a rough texture on her fingertip. She lowered her gaze, staring at her ring.

I can use this to contact the nearest member of the Evil Wind Sect! Aside from the disadvantage of exposing her location, it was the most perfect escape tool.

Now was not the time to think about that. Elspeth decisively turned on its signal in an attempt to contact anyone in the vicinity. Soon, the indicator light lit up and she managed to contact someone.

"Any orders, Miss Lynwood?"

"Send over ten men with fire extinguishers."

The person on the other side of the line paused momentarily. "Fire extinguishers? Not weapons?"

His response vexed her. "I'm in a shopping mall, and it's on fire. Hurry up. There are over a hundred people to rescue."
