The entire building exploded, shooting flames into the air. Even the people who had just escaped felt the blast.Raymond rushed over with his men to save Iris. Then, he gazed up at the shell of the home that was still engulfed in flames. "Where's Mr. Larkin? Why hasn't he come down yet?" he asked urgently. "In order to save Mrs. Larkin, Mr. Larkin asked us to jump first. He's still inside."Raymond immediately panicked. "What the hell? He's the son of the Larkin family. If he dies, our entire department will be on the chopping block!"He quickly formed a crew of firefighters to try to put out the fire, but the blaze was just too ferocious. Moreover, there was a chance of a third explosion. The fire may even spread to the entire Larkin Manor.At that moment, someone rushed over and said, "Captain, someone tampered with the gas pipes. It's been fixed now, so it's unlikely that there will be another explosion.""Has the electricity been cut?""Yes.""Alright. You guys, come wit
Upon hearing her voice, Simon shivered. He turned to her with a pale face. Stammering, he said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to get some fresh air. Why are you awake? Go back to your room and rest. It's cold downstairs."He wanted to guide Evelyn back to her room, but she avoided his touch. Seeing how Simon refused to meet her eye, she asked, "Dad, where's Warren? Did something happen?"Simon plastered on a fake smile. "It's nothing. Something happened at the company, so he went over to handle some matters. He'll be back once he's done. Don't worry and go back to bed."Evelyn was starting to feel that something was amiss.Simon continued to herd her upstairs. Clearly, he was hiding something from her."Dad, where's my phone? Let me call Warren. I want to ask him what he's up to."Simon tried to stall. "It's so late at night; you shouldn't be looking at your phone. It's not good for the baby. Warren is fine. You'll see him tomorrow morning, so just go back to sleep."As he sp
Half an hour went by. The fire was finally put out, but there was still no news about Warren.The Larkin family was in shambles.Bonnie forced herself to swallow the pain. Walking to Evelyn's side, she took her hand and said, "Evie, don't be afraid. No matter what happens to Warren, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Larkin family."Naturally, Evelyn understood the underlying meaning of that.Putting on a brave face, she said, "Grandma, Warren won't die. He promised me that he'd watch our baby grow up. I believe that he's still alive."Bonnie couldn't help it anymore. Tears streamed down her face. She patted the back of Evelyn's hand and said, "Alright, let's wait for him together."Seconds ticked by, and the quiet night slowly gave way to the sun.The firefighters were still going through the debris of the burned-down remains of the Larkin Manor.The case continued to trend on the web. Everyone was waiting for the moment Warren would be found.The live chat on the live
The unresponsive Warren finally moved. His fingers twitched slightly, and his eyeballs also moved minutely.The doctor immediately said, "There are signs of life. Take him to the hospital at once."Upon hearing this, the Larkin family collectively let out a sigh.Chester looked at Evelyn with teary eyes. "Evie, don't worry. I'll find the best doctor to treat Warren."Evelyn clenched her fists and tried to make herself relax."Mr. Larkin, I'll go with him to the hospital. You should handle all the affairs at home first. Who gave Iris the gasoline, and who tampered with the gas pipes? If we manage to find this person, we'll be able to track down the mastermind behind everything."Chester nodded in satisfaction when he saw how she could think so rationally even in a dire situation. "I expected nothing less from the daughter-in-law of the Larkin family. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll have someone go with you."Half an hour later, Warren was being treated in the emer
The doctor gave Evelyn a sterile gown to wear before taking her into the emergency room.When she saw Warren connected to all kinds of machines, she felt as though her heartstrings were about to snap.She clenched her fists tightly but could barely feel her nails piercing her skin.Slowly, she walked to Warren's side. She held his palm between her cold hands and said calmly, "Warren, our baby will turn two months old in a few days. The doctor said we'll be able to hear his heartbeat then. Don't you want to feel a sign of his life?"She gently placed Warren's hand on her belly so he could feel her body heat and their baby.She glanced at the heart rate monitor that wasn't responding then continued, "Hubby, in a few months, he'll be able to move in my belly. I heard that it feels absolutely magical. Don't you want to experience that too?"Didn't you promise me that you were going to start training him in the womb? You haven't started reading him the book that I borrowed from Tammy.
"But this would be very hard on you. I'll be in the hospital, and to make it seem more realistic, you would have to keep me company at the hospital too. Can your body take that?"Evelyn shook her head. "I'll be fine. When my father was in the hospital, I practically lived there too. Our baby was fine too. Wait, let me call the others in. I should let them know."Warren caressed her head lovingly. "This has been really tough on you and our baby. Once everything is settled, I'll take the both of you with me, and we'll live our lives on our own terms."The two of them discussed their action plan based on their current circumstances, and then Evelyn walked out of the emergency room.When everyone saw her, they immediately crowded around her.Evelyn looked up with tearful eyes. Her gaze was filled with undisguisable hurt."Evie, how is Warren?" Chet had a bad feeling. He immediately wrapped his arms around Evelyn's shoulders.Evelyn shook her head lightly. "He's still unconscious. Th
Everyone was drowning in their sorrows when they suddenly heard that voice. They trembled in fear at the reproachful tone. Everyone shifted their gaze to Warren.All they saw were his eyes glaring coldly at them as he fumed."Holy moly! He's turned into a zombie!" shrieked Ethan in surprise. He was the first to break the silence and quickly pulled Jazzie into his arms so he could cover her eyes.Chet reached out in disbelief and put his finger underneath Warren's nose. When he felt the warm air from Warren's breathing tickle his finger, he was both surprised and ecstatic."He's not a zombie! He's still alive. I told you he won't leave Evie and the baby behind."Warren slapped Chet's hand away. His voice was raspy and filled with distaste when he spoke."Keep your dirty hands away from me. I survived the fire, but I may not survive this smell."Everyone was tense upon seeing him awaken. After seeing that he was doing fine, they all slowly relaxed.Jazzie angrily flung Ethan's
Ethan frowned at Jazzie and said, "Why are you crying instead of Evelyn if her partner is the one who is in a vegetative state? Everyone might assume that the two of you are having an affair if you do so."His voice brimmed with jealousy when he said that.Those words made Jazzie so angry that she couldn't help kicking him again. She complained, "Ethan Xavier, will it kill you to shut up? Why must you say such infuriating words? In fact, how are you still alive? Why hasn't someone killed you in a fit of anger yet?"Ethan grinned mischievously and replied, "If I die, no one will be around to piss you off. Won't that break your heart?"Jazzie nearly fainted from anger.She felt as though the two of them were destined to be enemies.She glared at Ethan and then smiled nonchalantly. After that, she said, "I'm not a fool, so why would I ever be heartbroken for you?"As soon as she finished saying that, she made her way to Evelyn's side. Holding Evelyn's hand, Jazzie promised, "Don't
