She Got A Better Man

Chapter 181

At this moment, he only had one thought. He had to save Elvira Otherwise, he would die with her.

Zach endured the assault of the smoke and heat and quickly climbed to the 25th floor. His hands were already covered in countless blisters, but he did not care. The moment he jumped in, a wave of fire attacked him. Zach ignored the fire on his body and rushed into the restroom.

He knew very well that the only place Elvira could hide now was the restroom. He kicked open the door of the burning restroom and shouted, "Elvira, where are you?"

"Zach, I'm here." Elvira Willis was wearing a gas mask. She was awake, but Cole was already silent.

Zach did not care about the fire on his body and quickly rushed over. He looked at Elvira who was protected by Cole and was relieved to see that she was wearing a gas mask. He helped the unconscious Cole up and pulled Elvira up. The three of them quickly walked out. If they stayed any longer, they would die. Now, the three of them could only think of a way to survive.

By the time the three of them reached the window, fortunately, Spike arrived in a helicopter. The air cushion downstairs had already been laid out.

Spike threw the rope over. Seeing that the fire behind them was getting stronger and stronger, Zach and Elvira grabbed the rope with their hands. The two of them hugged Cole desperately and jumped down amidst the flames.

Spike immediately splashed water on the three of them to put out the fire. Fortunately, he had brought enough water to do that.

After the three of them landed, Elvira fainted. In fact, she had already inhaled a lot smoke previously. It was already a miracle that she could hold on until now.

Most of Zach's hair had been burned off, and his clothes were in tatters. He looked very disheveled. He could not care less about himself and carried Elvira. The bodyguards supported Cole Bennett, and they hurried to the hospital.

After the bodyguards upstairs received the news that Elvira and Cole had been rescued, they quickly retreated and left the firefighters to put out the fire.

Seeing the bodyguards leave in a hurry, Jayden immediately chased after them and asked, "Why aren't you saving them? Didn't you say that your boss is inside?"

"She's already been rescued. We're go to the hospital now," a bodyguard replied coldly as Jayden helped them think of a solution.

"What? She was rescued? How is that possible?" Jayden's eyes widened in disbelief.

When the bodyguard heard this, he looked at Jayden with cold eyes. Jayden chuckled and said, "What I mean is, she was actually saved from such a big fire. That's really impressive."

The bodyguards ignored him and left quickly.

Jayden turned around and looked at the raging fire. He found it unbelievable. "How can a person be saved from such a huge fire? That's impossible."

No matter what, he couldn't stay here anymore. He had to pack up and run. He knew that as long as the fire was extinguished, it would soon be found out that he was the one who started the fire. Jayden took advantage of everyone's attention on extinguishing the fire and quickly slipped away, leaving the building.

In the hospital.

Zach was also burned quite a bit. The doctor wanted to treat his wound, but he refused. He couldn't feel at ease until he confirmed Elvira was fine.

The doctor said that Elvira had inhaled some smoke into her lungs and injured them. She had to recuperate well, and her life was not in danger.

Cole's situation was much more serious. He had inhaled too much smoke and had yet to wake up. His life was in danger, and the doctor was trying his best to save him.

Zach looked at the burns on Elvira's body and felt sorry. He really wished he could suffer these injuries for her.

Elvira woke up quite quickly. The first thing she did when she woke up was to ask about Cole's condition. Zach had to tell her the truth, saying that Cole was still being resuscitated. Elvira immediately removed the needle from her hand and got out of bed to go to the resuscitation room.

When she got out of bed her legs went weak. Zach quickly offered his arms to her. He did not stop Elvira as he knew that Cole got injury in order to save her. Not only Elvira but also Zach was worried. In the past, Zach would dislike Cole. After all, how could he like a man who had a crush on his wife? However, when he saw Cole risking his life to save Elvira today, Zach decided to be grateful to him for the rest of his life.

Zach ignored his ragged appearance and carried Elvira to the entrance of the resuscitation room. The lights in the resuscitation room were still on. Elvira looked at the glaring red light and felt a suffocating pain in her chest. Zach called the medical staff over and pushed the bed over. He asked the doctor to treat Elvira's wound and infusion here.

Elvira came back to her senses and noticed that Zach was also seriously injured. She asked the doctor to apply medicine on him. When he refused, she threatened him, saying she would not get medicine applied, either.

Zach had no choice but to stay with Elvira while letting the doctor treat his wound. Zach's body was covered in large blisters and looked quite scary. The burns on his body were worse than Elvira's.

After Samson finished dealing with the fire at Elvira's company, he came over. He felt really sorry when he found Zach's wounds and asked the two of them to go back to the ward to tidy up, saying that he would stay to keep an eye on the situation there. Elvira refused to leave. She would not leave before she confirmed that Cole was out of danger.

Samson brought them two bottles of water. Zach unscrewed the bottle and fed Elvira a little.

An hour later, Cole was wheeled out. The doctor said that he was not out of danger for the time being because he had inhaled too much smoke. Not only was his lungs damaged, but his head was also deprived of oxygen. It was very likely to cause brain damage. "What will happen to him if his brain gets damaged?" Samson asked.

"It means that his intelligence might regress," the doctor replied tactfully. To put it bluntly, Cole might become a fool..

Elvira almost collapsed when she heard this. If Cole really became a fool, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Elvira finally fell asleep. Only then did Zach go into the bathroom to get changed and freshen up. He looked at his half- burned hair in the mirror and asked the bodyguard to get him a shaver. He shaved all his hair and gave it a simple scrub. He only came out after changing into a clean set of clothes.

Chapter 181

When he came out, he seemed to have changed into a different person. His short buzz cut did not affect his looks at all. Instead, he gave off a different kind of roguish handsomeness.

Spike returned with the results of the fire.

Zach glanced at the sleeping Elvira and went out to meet Spike.

"How did the fire happen?" Zach asked with a frown.

"Someone started the fire. Moreover, this fire was planned for a long time. The arsonist has already been found out. It was done by the security guard who came to that building a month ago. Ilis goal is very clear. He wanted to burn Elvira to death." Spike gave all the results to Zach. Jayden's methods were not brilliant. As long as the surveillance cameras were restored, it would be clear that everything was done by him alone. Moreover, he had planned for a long time to set this fire to kill Elvira. SEND GIFT
