Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 551

The three of them were forced to retreat to the corner of the house. Thick smoke billowed, and it choked the three of them, sending them into coughing fits. "Cecil, there is a skylight on the upper left corner. You and Felicia get out of here first." Lenold's weak voice sounded. He couldn't hold on any longer.

"What about you?"

"Don't you trust my skills?" He smiled and looked at Felicia.

However, she wouldn't buy what he said. He was seriously injured, he wouldn't have the strength left to climb out of this place.

Despite this...

"Cecil, climb up there. I'll tear up the sheets and pass them to you. You can send Lenold out first," Felicia said coldly. This was the only way as neither of them would leave him behind.

Cecil nodded. She understood what she meant.

Looking at the upper left window, although it was high up, her years of sports practice would help her reach it.

Lenold turned his head to look at Felicia. "You're an idiot. There's not much time left."

"When I decided to look for you, I didn't expect to be back safe and sound. It would be best if you understood my personality by now. If I don't love that person, I can ignore him completely, but I love you, and I am willing to sacrifice everything. That's what you liked about me, isn't it?" Felicia looked in Cecil's direction, her voice underlined with seriousness.

Hearing those words, he was touched. However, it was a matter of life and death. He would rather die alone than see Felicia sacrificing with him.

She was the woman whom he had loved since he was a child, and never would he expect that she would die with him right then.

Cecil finally climbed up. "Sister-in-law."

Hearing the words "sister-in- law," Felicia and Lenold couldn't describe how they felt about it.

Felicia helped to sit Lenold down as she tore the bed sheets and the covers into wide strips.

She then threw them to Cecil.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and time was running out.

Felicia tied Lenold up while saying, "We'll all meet outside. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lenold grabbed her hand, his eyes gleaming with worry.

As a man, he should be the one to protect her; but that day, the roles had changed.

"Let's meet outside."

"Hurry up. The fire is getting near." Standing in a high place, Cecil saw that the fire was gradually flickering closer to them. Furthermore, she didn't know what items were left in the warehouse. Should there be any explosive and highly flammable item, things could take a turn for the worse.

Cecil pulled the cloth along the wall and went down little by little. The lower it went, the more difficult it was for her to grab hold of it. Lenold's weight was far heavier than hers. When he was about to reach the end, she could no longer pull the cloth. He was stuck mid-air.

Felicia noticed the standstill. "Lenold," she shouted.

"I'm fine." He knew that Cecil couldn't pull anymore. He tried his best to push against the wall to ease her actions. When he was just about to exert his strength, the wound hurt astonishingly. He thought that he had high stamina, but the injuries were too severe. He really couldn't use his strength.

Felicia kept her eyes on Lenold's direction and asked, "Lenold, how are you..." Before she could finish her sentence, a drop of blood dripped on her face. She touched the blood on her face and knew something was wrong. She shouted, "Lenold."

Cecil heard her shout, and panic struck her. Lenold was injured and he could not hold on much longer.

All of a sudden, footsteps were coming from her left. Cecil was terrified, assuming that Diana had returned.

Before she could see who the person was, she heard an anxious voice calling out, "Cecil."

When she saw the people who came, her heart was filled with joy. "Alexander, hurry up, Lenold is down there. I can't hold on to him any longer." Her eyes were gleaming with tears. Their savior had arrived. "Okay." He waved to the three people behind him. They caught on to his instruction and helped him.

When Cecil climbed down, Lenold was near the window. The helpers looked at each other and pulled the cloth with all their strength to drag him down.

They caught him from below. Lenold groaned as his wound was touched.

Cecil quickly walked over and checked on him.

The amount of blood coming out from his abdomen wound was increasing.

Alexander looked at the now safe Cecil and felt slightly relieved. He lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the wounds on Lenold. He frowned and said, "Let's go to the hospital immediately. His condition isn't too good."

"Alexander, hurry up. Felicia is inside. There's something inside and I don't know whether it is flammable." Cecil almost forgot that Felicia was still trapped inside. A long time had passed; she couldn't know if anything had happened.

After hearing this, Alexander's face went cold. "You stay here. I will go and have a look now. The police will be here soon." He comforted her riotous emotions. He grabbed the cloth strip and ordered the three helpers to get ready to catch Felicia.

The three understood, standing on the ground, and looking up at Alexander's actions.

He shouted "Felicia" a few times. With not a sound in response, he jumped in and climbed up with her on his back.

Cecil was on edge. They hadn't come out for such a long time, and she didn't know what was going on.

He climbed up with incredible difficulty. Cecil saw them and was happy. "Alexander."

Felicia had fainted. He could only tie the cloth strip to her body and drop her down little by little. The three helpers caught her. As soon as they put her down, they heard an explosion. Alexander was caught off guard and he leapt straight down.

The three of them did not respond fast enough and had no time to catch him as they watched him fall.

Cecil widened her eyes and shouted, "Alexander."

As she watched him plunge down in front of her, tears started flowing down her eyes. She ran over as fast as she could. "Alexander, Alexander, can you hear me?" Cecil held him in her arms and patted him on the cheek, but he did not respond. She was scared that something bad had happened to him.

"Miss, let's go to the hospital now. This situation is out of our depth," the helper brought by Alexander said worriedly.

Without waiting for her reply, they quickly carried Alexander and raced to the car.

There were explosive items in the warehouse, and it was hard to predict whether there would be a second explosion. They each carried an injured person in their arms. Not long after they left, the second explosion occurred.

Cecil sent the three of them to the hospital, and the most severely injured one was Alexander. The deterrent force of the explosion gave him a head concussion and broken ribs from falling from a high place. She was scared out of her wits. She sat on the chair for a long time and didn't come to her senses. Thinking of the scene that had occurred, she was happy, but now...

"Miss Hayes, we have already informed the Jenkins family to come over. We don't know about the Hayes family..."

"I've already called them, and they'll be here soon. Thank you for your hard work." Distraught, Cecil wiped her tears, trying to look less out of sorts.

They nodded and left without saying anything.

With her phone in her hands, she thought and decided to call Everleigh.

At this moment, Everleigh was fast asleep, but as a doctor, her mobile phone rarely turned off.

"Hello..."

"Everleigh..." When Cecil heard her voice at that moment, she could no longer hold back her tears.

She did not know what to say to her.

Everleigh woke up in an instant when she heard the voice. She frowned and asked, "Cecil? What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

As she spoke, she switched on the light.

When Theodore heard her anxious tone, he opened his eyes and quickly sat up.

Cecil cried so distressingly. After a while, she explained slowly, "Everleigh, come to Maniville. Alexander is in the hospital, and he's been severely injured."

"Alexander? When did he go abroad?" Everleigh was shocked. She'd just met him the day before; why was he abroad at the moment?

Theodore realized that something was amiss. He quickly put on his clothes and booked plane tickets to go overseas with her.

"Don't cry. Wait for me. I'll book a plane ticket right away." Everleigh hung up the phone and fumbled to put on her clothes before heading to the airport with Theodore.

He was driving but couldn't help but to be worried about her.

"Don't worry. I believe that everything is fine for

Cecil to call at this time."
