SWNOVELS Chapter 75
Chapter 75
Five years ago, she almost lost her life in a raging fire, which also implicated Daniel
Now, she would never let such a tragedy happen again!
“Mayson, Mommy is here!” she said inwardly.
Caroline ran over recklessly.
She crossed over the courtyard walls and came to the side where Catherine lived, only to see that the fire had grown quite significantly.
Caroline shouted anxiously. “Help! There’s a fire… There’s a fire…”
Her voice startled the servants at the Ziegler residence, and they rushed out to see what was happening They discovered that the main house of Catherine was on fire and quickly went to fetch buckets and firefighting equipment to extinguish the flames.
Caroline also found a fire extinguisher and aimed it toward the flames at the entrance.
As long as she thought about her son still being inside, possibly unaware of the fire while asleep, her heart tightened with
anxiety.
“Mayson, you must stay safe!”
Flynn was asked by Quintin to come and take a look. He also saw that Catherine’s house was on fire, and Caroline was putting out the fire..
“Ms. Lewis! There’s a fire here!”
“Flynn‘ Hurry! Help me put out the fire! The child is still inside! Hurry…”
Caroline was on the verge of tears with worry. She wished she could rush in, but the fire from five years ago had left a deep fear and trauma in her heart. Even now, she couldn’t bring herself to face such a massive blaze.
She could not overcome the fear in her heart!
At this moment, someone came over with a wet blanket. Flynn snatched the blanket and placed it on his body. He said, “Ms. Lewis, don’t be anxious. I’ll go in and find Leon!”
After saying that, Flynn rushed into the fire. The others came over one after another. Some of them even dragged water pipes over and sprayed water into the house.
Thick smoke billowed in the room, and flames spewed out. Caroline was terrified.
After waiting for a long time, she saw Flynn rush out of the fire.
“Flynn!”
As soon as Flynn came out, the others helped him remove the charred blanket on his body. Then, Caroline saw Flynn holding the unconscious Mayson in his arms.
“Ms. Lewis, I found Leon. He’s already unconscious!”
“He might have carbon monoxide poisoning. Hurry up and send him to the hospital! Is there anyone else inside?”
Tve searched everywhere! There’s no one else!”
Flynn quickly picked up the child and rushed outside, with Caroline following closely behind without thinking too much. The remaining people continued their efforts to fight the fire with all their strength.
Mayson was rushed into the emergency room of the hospital while Caroline and Flynn waited anxiously outside. She felt deeply saddened and extremely worried, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Flynn found an opportunity to call Quintin and report what had just happened to him.
Quintin was at the Tanglevine Residence when he heard that his grandmother’s house was on fire and his son Leo had been rescued from the flames and taken to the hospital. He was shocked beyond words.
Why was there a sudden fire?
He was a little worried and quickly got out of bed. He reached for the wheelchair and struggled to sit in it.
Due to his inability to see, Quintin’s wheelchair kept bumping into walls as he moved. When he was leaving the Tanglevine Residence, he even tumbled down the steps at the entrance.
“Susan! Susan…”
The sound alarmed Susan, who ran out of the side house and saw Quintin on the ground. “Mr. Ziegler, what happened to you?”
Chapter 75
“Quick, help me up! Send me to the hospital! Something happened to Leol”
“Okay, okay!”
Susan was scared out of her wits. She quickly informed the driver to prepare a car and send him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Caroline was still waiting. Fortunately, the doctor on duty tonight was John. He helped the child with first. aid.
When John came out of the emergency room, Caroline immediately went up to him and asked, “John, how’s the child?” “He suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, falling between the mild and moderate range. Fortunately, he was brought in promptly. Otherwise, I would have felt helpless if it had been any later. Thankfully, the child is now out of danger. Upon hearing his words, Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, but her legs went weak, almost causing her to stumble and fall.
If she didn’t go to Catherine’s room tonight, wouldn’t her son….
It was unimaginable!
She had already lost a daughter. What would she do if she lost her son?
John caught her in time and let her rest on the seat beside them.
“How did the fire happen?” John asked, “Wasn’t there any adult with the child at that time?”
“I wasn’t there that time…”
Caroline shook her head. After calming down, she began to recall the situation of the fire. How could there be a fire?
Why was there only Mayson in Catherine’s room?
Where was the servant in charge of taking care of Catherine?
All the signs indicated that the fire tonight was very strange.
When she returned to the Ziegler residence tomorrow, she would definitely get to the bottom of it!
“Alright, don’t blame yourself too much. The nurse will send the child to the ward later.”
“Alright, go ahead. John.”
Caroline greeted John and told him to go do his work first. A new patient was sent over from the emergency room.
Shortly after, Flynn greeted Quintin outside and pushed him into the emergency roo
“Ms. Lewis, Mr. Ziegler is here!” Flynn informed.
Caroline slowly raised her head and saw the man in pajamas. He did not even have shoes on his feet. His feet were bare, and his clothes were dirty. He looked very disheveled.
Without wearing sunglasses, his unfocused gaze could still discern the panic reflected on his handsome face.
“Caroline, are you okay?”
“It’s okay.”
“How’s Leo?” Quintin asked worriedly.
“He was on the brink of a dire situation.”
Caroline’s heart ached. For some reason, when she thought of what her child had suffered, she felt a little aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Tears welled up in fier eyes, but her voice was still cold.
“Quintin, you know now, right? This is the consequence of your insistence on separating Leo and me.
“He has carbon monoxide poisoning! I almost lost him! Do you know that!”
Facing Caroline’s accusation, Quintin had nothing to say. He didn’t want anything to happen to the child either.
But that was his son. If anyone should be concerned and distressed, it should be him. Why was she more indignant than he
was?
It was as if Leo was her son!
“I understand. I’ll get someone to investigate this matter!”
After saying this, no one spoke again until the nurse pushed the child out of the emergency room.
“Leo is out!” Flynn reminded.
Caroline quickly got up and approached Mayson. His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Chapter 75
Seeing the child who had just narrowly escaped death in such a weakened state, Caroline couldn’t help but shed tears.
When Flynn saw this scene, he felt that something was amiss.
Caroline really treated Quintin’s child as her own. She was simply the most competent stepmother in the world, right?
“Push me over!”
Quintin ordered, and Flynn quickly pushed him to the ward.
The child had already been placed on the hospital bed. The nurses pushed the operating table away, and the antidote had been hung up.
Caroline sat by the bed, holding the child’s hand and looking at him silently.
As Quintin entered, unable to see anything, he reached out and felt his way to the edge of the bed. He followed along the edge until he found the child, and eventually, his hand came upon a small hand, which he held tightly in his palm.
However, he quickly realized that he was not touching his son’s hand but Caroline’s.
Caroline’s hand was soft and delicate, fitting perfectly in his palm as they held onto each other.
He was a little curious. How could her hands be so soft and small?
Feeling Quintin’s large hand suddenly wrap around hers, Caroline frowned. “What are you doing?”
She hated being touched by others!
Caught off guard. Quintin cleared his throat awkwardly to mask the embarrassment. “Ahem… I was just touching my son’s hand. What’s the matter?”
