Chapter 154


    Chapter 154


    Yoel looked at the house billowing with thick smoke and said to Joshua, “It seems like Ms. Yates’ home


    is on fire.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Joshua had already gotten out of the car. He was a little dizzy as he


    had drunk alcohol. If it were not for the influence of alcohol, he would not havee here in the first


    ce.


    “I wonder if there’s anyone in those upper-floor apartments. When I knocked on the door earlier, it


    seemed like nobody answered.”


    “If nobody answered, then there’s nobody inside, right?”


    “With such thick smoke, they should know, shouldn’t they?’


    Listening to the discussions around him, Joshua quickly took out his phone and dialed Cynthia’s


    number. However, there was no answer on the other end despite several attempts.


    “Mr. Neal,” Yoel called out to him tentatively.


    Joshua took Yoel’s phone and dialed Cynthia’s number again. He was worried that Cynthia was still


    upset with him because of what had happened earlier, causing her to ignore his calls. Even so, there


    was still no answer from Cynthia’s side.

    Joshua suddenly felt anxious. He did not care about the possible rtionship between Mitchell and


    Cynthia anymore.


    Concerned for Cynthia’s safety, he dialed Mitchell’s number and asked him to call Cynthia.


    However, the result filled him with fear and worry.


    Mitchell made the call, but Cynthia still did not answer.


    “Don’t be too anxious. Maybe Ms. Yates is outside and couldn’t hear the phone,” Yoel tried to console


    him.


    “She’s inside,” Joshua said, his voice h oar se, as he looked at the building enveloped in smoke. When


    he had just spoken to Mitchell on the phone, Mitchell checked Cynthia’s phone’s location, and the IP


    address indicated her homework.


    A thought came to Joshua’s mind almost instantly, ‘Cynthia’s phone is in silent mode, and she is


    asleep.’


    “Mr. Neal, what are you doing?” Yoel grabbed him, trying to hold him back from rushing into the crowd.


    “Let go! Cynthia is still inside!” Joshua shook him off in one motion and hurriedly made his way inside.


    He did care about her and Mitchell, but he could not bear to see her lose her life here.


    The fire trucks had just arrived.


    The thick smoke was already making its way into Cynthia’s home. Could she be choked by the


    Chapter 15


    smoke if she was still asleep and unaware of this?


    The thought of seeing the lifeless Cynthia was unbearable for Joshua.


    Yoel wanted to pull him back, but he realized Joshua was stronger and had longer legs.


    He could not hold him back at all!


    Just then, a voice filled with doubt suddenly rang out, “Mr. Cheyne?”


    Yoel froze.


    Joshua, who had just broken free and was running inside, also halted his steps upon hearing the voice.


    M-Ms. Yates? What are you doing here?” Yoel’s eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise.


    “I went out for a while.” Cynthia had yet to notice Joshua rushing into the crowd. She nced at the fire


    and then at Yoel, before asking, “What are you doing here?”


    Yoel instinctively looked toward Joshua, and Cynthia’s gaze followed him. When she saw the


    unabashed concern on Joshua’s face, she paused.


    “Mr. Neal, Ms. Yates…” Yoel began.


    “Get in the car.” Joshua’s voice was cold and merciless as he walked away from Cynthia. The worried


    heart, however, rxed at that moment. “Let’s go back.”


    Yoel was speechless. Then, he hesitated, coughed lightly, and tried to ease the tension between the


    two.


    “Weren’t you very worried about Ms. Yates just now? Now that she’s safe, shouldn’t you talk to each


    other?”
