The Love Triangle Chapter 396
The smoke was suffocating. Tears blurred Madeline's vision, and a cough escaped her, accidentally dialing Trevon's number. She held her breath, not hanging up. The phone rang insistently, a grim soundtrack to the chaos.Then, silence. No answer. A wry smile flickered across Madeline's face.Madeline was in a tough spot, staring down the barrel of disaster but still clinging to a sliver of hope. It was almost laughable.A stone's throw away, the Yates family was in the middle of a heated argument, but the thick smoke quickly overcame them, silencing their quarrels.Madeline tried to tell them, "Conserve your energy and duck down," but the words would not come out. If she dared to remove the damp cloth from her face, the smoke would send her into a coughing fit....It was pitch black outside, and only when the Yates family's house erupted in flames did the villagers notice the fire.By the time the crowd arrived, the blaze was raging."Get water, quick! Put it out!"Everyon
The Love Triangle Chapter 397
Caleb was about to follow Trevon's lead and charge into the blaze when Daniel grabbed his arm. "You're a doctor. We'll need you when they're out, so don't be reckless. Mr. Gibson will get Mrs. Gibson out safely."Caleb bit his lip, realizing Daniel was making sense, and reluctantly stood down.Flames roared all around inside.The Yates family was sprawled near the doorway, overcome by the smoke.Trevon scanned the area, but Madeline was nowhere to be seen."Madeline! Madeline!" he shouted.Where could she be?Knowing Madeline, she would not just wander off. She would find the safest spot to hide.Trevon tried the bathroom door, but it would not budge."Madeline, are you in there?" he called out, but got no reply.With a grimace of determination, he kicked the door down and finally spotted Madeline in a corner.The smoke was thinner there, but she had collapsed.A soaked towel lay discarded on the floor.Trevon rushed to her side. "Madeline! Madeline!"She was motionless,

"Ugh…"Madeline's eyes fluttered open to the stark white of the hospital walls. Her mind slowly pieced together the memories of the fire.She had not perished in the flames, she had been saved."My baby!"Madeline's heart raced as she suddenly thought of the baby growing inside her. She reached down, her fingers brushing against the gentle swell of her belly, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief.Trevon's voice, deep and resonant, broke the silence. "You shouldn't have taken such a risk if you're worried about your baby!"Madeline turned to see him sitting at the edge of her bed. The hospital was so cramped that there was barely enough space for a tiny chair beside her bed.Trevon was perched on it, knees awkwardly bent, looking like he might crush the flimsy thing at any second."Did you rescue me?"She noticed the burns on Trevon's hands and face, which seemed even more alarming with the ointment applied.He simply nodded.Madeline's gaze dropped as she whispered

Deep into the night, Trevon's fever spiked as expected.Daniel glanced at the thermometer, which read 102.7 degrees Fahrenheit, and his expression soured. "Mr. Gibson, maybe we should go back to Redenbaugh City. You can't keep pushing yourself like this."It was going to be a problem sooner or later.Trevon's fever-reddened face was a shade of concern. "What's the hurry? We're already in a hospital. Go grab some anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing meds."Daniel was at a loss for words. He was about to argue with Trevon, but his icy stare silenced him, and he reluctantly went to fetch a doctor.The doctor arrived with a nurse and immediately looked more serious. "This fever is too high. You need to take some fever medicine and get on an IV."Trevon's face spelled out his displeasure. "Just write the prescription."The doctor replied, "An IV will help you recover quicker than pills."Trevon remained silent, his stance unyielding.The doctor grew frustrated. "Why won't you liste

The room was cramped to begin with, and with an extra bed, it felt like the walls were closing in. The nurse pushed the beds together, and Trevon climbed onto his with a scowl, bracing himself for the IV needle."You're all wound up," the nurse said, a note of exasperation in her voice as she patted his hand."Relax."Trevon's glare could have frozen the sun, and the nurse shuddered. "Relaxing helps, you know."Madeline could not watch that any longer. "Stop scaring her. If you make her cry, you're going to get jabbed by a shaky hand. That'll hurt worse."Trevon did not say a word. He took a deep breath and let his arm go limp.Once the needle was in, they all exhaled in unison.Madeline, feeling the weight of the day, lay down and turned away from Trevon, curling into a small cocoon under the covers.He hesitated, his mouth opening and closing, unsure of how to break the silence.The air hung heavy between them once more.After a brief pause, Trevon, realizing Madeline was n

Trevon's injury had not flared up again.Once Madeline was sure of it, she left him be and did not say another word to them for the rest of the trip.Trevon, looking down, did not seem to mind.Daniel fidgeted, touching his nose and pushing up his glasses more than he usually did.When they arrived at the Redenbaugh City Hospital, Madeline would not let Trevon come with her. She went alone to see how the Yates family was doing.Trevon tried to protest, but Daniel held him back. "Mr. Gibson, you're familiar with Mrs. Gibson's fiery temper. If you tag along, she might just blow a fuse. I think she still cares about you, so let's not ruffle her feathers again, okay?"Trevon reluctantly backed down.Inside the hospital, Caleb looked pretty grim. "Zander's awake, Mrs. Jeppesen and her husband are still out cold. The doctors aren't sure if they'll come around."He handed Madeline a phone. "Zander handed this over, saying it belongs to Mrs. Jeppesen."It was filled with messages and

Lydia was escorted away by the police.Skylar felt completely lost and quickly called Cilix."The police have Lydia. You have to help her."Cilix was swamped with work.The Sanders Group was on the brink of going public, which meant rolling out a fresh line of fashion designs for the launch. On top of that, they were ramping up their scale and production capacity.His plate was more than full.His brow creased at the call. "What's she done this time?"The moment Skylar heard the accusation, she bristled with irritation."What do you mean Lydia's in trouble again? It's that snake Madeline stirring up drama, trying to pin Bella's death on Lydia.lWhat's Lydia done to deserve this? Just because she and Trevon have history, Madeline's got to spin these wild lies to take Lydia down?"Cilix listened, his expression turning stormy. "Madeline called the cops?"Skylar began to cry. "Who else would it be? Bella's gone, and now we're her punching bags."Cilix had no patience for tears
The Love Triangle Chapter 403
Josiah had no choice but to get up and answer it.A police officer was there, with Cilix right beside him.They had dug into Lydia's family background during their investigation and instantly knew that man was Lydia's dad.Josiah scowled. "Ever heard of protocol? This isn't a place for visitors. Get them out of here!"The officer, phone in hand, looked like he was in a tough spot. "Captain, the chief's on the line."Josiah's face turned stormy as he took the call. Whatever he heard only made him look more severe.He glared at Cilix, his frustration clear. "You must be Lydia's father. You've got ten minutes!"It was not by the book, but the chief had spoken, and Josiah had to follow orders.He despised how wealthy folks had always skirted the rules, making his job harder and more complicated.Cilix ignored Josiah's attitude, gave a nod, and headed in with a lawyer to see Lydia.Seeing her father, Lydia's tightly wound nerves eased. "Daddy."Lydia's voice broke, and tears foll
