Chapter: 4136
Leonel jumped out of his car, ready to dash into the building when a firefighter blocked his path. "Sir, you can't enter. We haven't put out the fire yet. It's too risky!"
Right after he spoke, a loud explosion sounded.
It came from the top floor. The window burst outward, sending glass debris flying into the air...
Alexis...
Evelyn...
Leonel's voice broke as he cried out. He was so hoarse he could barely make a sound. “My wife and daughter are inside. Please, let me go through..."
Another blast erupted!
Still, Leonel tried to charge inside. At that moment, his only thought was to be with Alexis, even at the risk of his own life.
Someone grabbed his arm.
Then someone slapped him across the face, jolting him into a stunned silence. Regaining his bearings, he saw Waylen standing there, his expression grave.
Tears filled Waylen's eyes as he slapped Leonel again, his voice filled with sorrow. “What are you trying to achieve by going in there? You'd only end up dead!"
Just then, a humming filled the air. To put out the flames, the fire department had called in helicopters...
Water cascaded from above, falling like a gentle rain.
In the hospital room, Alexis lay on the bed, her body covered in wounds and bruises. Despite 24 hours passing, she remained unconscious. The doctor examined her and declared her condition stable.
Alexis had a dream.
In her dream, she found herself seated in Waylen's arms within a study. Waylen focused on a building's structural drawing while Alexis asked him questions with curiosity.
Later, she learned it was a commercial building project by the Exceed Group, featuring four residential complexes.
"This is a fire hydrant. Alexis, this building is unique. It boasts an additional safety shaft on the top floor," Waylen explained.
Confused, Alexis asked, "Why, Dad?"
Waylen affectionately tousled her hair.
