Candy and Quinn, who had cwith the police, were sweating profusely.

What Maya was saying now probably wasn't a lie. If they couldn't find Chloe soon, they might really only find a corpse.

Quinn looked up and saw thick smoke rising not far away.

"Over there!" He shouted.

The police also noticed it and split into two groups.

One group took Maya away, while the other continued searching for Chloe and Michael.

The cabin wasn't large, and as the fire grew, it began to shake.

Michael finally managed to pull Chloe's handcuffs off the radiator.

He looked at Chloe with joy. "Chloe, I did it!" Chloe's throat tightened as she saw his face covered in sweat and soot from exhaustion, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. Michael didn't delay any longer, pulling Chloe to leave the cabin.

But Chloe's leg had been hit by a falling beam earlier, and she hadn't dared to make a sound for fear of affecting Michael.

Now, any slight movement caused her intense pain, making it hard to breathe.

The smoke grew thicker, and they were both starting to struggle for air.

The path ahead was on fire, and with Chloe's injured leg, it was impossible to get out.

"Are you okay? I'll carry you!" When Chloe was about to tell Michael to leave on his own again, he didn't hesitate and picked her up, avoiding all the flames as he moved outside.

The heat around them was intense, and several times Chloe thought her skin would catch fire.

But when she looked up at Michael, his face remained calm, showing no fear of the imminent danger.

Michael's steps didn't falter, and he moved as quickly as possible.

Right after they exited the cabin, it collapsed with a loud crash, filling the air with dust and thick smoke that made Chloe cough for a long time.

At this moment, the police, along with Candy and Quinn, arrived. Seeing the two standing covered in dust outside the collapsed cabin, they were all shocked.

At the hospital, a doctor was bandaging Chloe's leg when Michael cin, having changed out of his soot- covered clothes.

"Maya and Madeline have been taken away by the police," He said.

Chloe nodded nervously.

She couldn't even remember how many people around her had ended up in jail.

As she was lost in thought, she heard him say, "I'm sorry." Chloe looked at him, puzzled. "For what?" Today's incident wasn't really his fault. Maya and Madeline were targeting her, not him.

"If it wasn't fordemanding Maya compensate the company for its losses, she wouldn't have been desperate enough to target you." Michael was genuinely regretful.

If he had known how dangerous Maya was, he would have contacted the police to take her away when she left the company.

Chloe blinked and said. "Forget it. It was my idea in the first place." She had asked Michael to make Maya pay when she hadn't divorced yet.

This wasn't his fault.

"Thank you for savingtoday." Chloe winced as the nurse disinfected her wound, the pain making her frown.

Michael's heart ached for her.

Candy walked in and hugged Chloe, tears streaming down her face. "You really scared me! We were supposed to meet William together, and now this happens. You're pregnant! You scaredto death!" Seeing Candy crying so hard, Chloe couldn't tell who was hurt more, Candy or herself. She gently patted Candy's back. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine, aren't I?" én.ls

Candy wiped her tears. "It's good you're okay. Otherwise, I'd make sure Maya paid with her life!" Chloe always thought only Michael could say m something so stoic, but here it was coming from Candy. Chloe's injury wasn't severe. The beam hadn't broken any bones, just caused ssuperficial wounds. However, because she was pregnant, she needed to stay in the hospital overnight for observation.

During this time, Michael took a phone catt, saying the police had handled everything. Maya and Madeline were charged with assault and kidnapping and would face the consequences. When Michael told Chloe this, she didn't show much reaction.

She had wanted to punish Maya for provoking Wendy.

But now that Wendy had passed away, she didn't care much about what happened to Madeline and Maya.

"Get srest. I'll stay here with you tonight." Michael sat by her bed, wanting to hold her hand but hesitated and pulled back.
