Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1428

No wonder she had difficulty breathing and even felt warm.

Startled, Vera jumped out of her chair and ran toward the door.

She was elated to find the fire hadn't spread to the door. Although she didn't know why a fire broke out, she'd be fine as long as she could leave.

However, she turned the doorknob only to find it locked from the outside.

Deja vu! It wasn't that long ago when she experienced the same thing. Realizing that, goosebumps covered Vera's body, and her scalp tingled as she pulled the door with all her might.

However, the door wouldn't budge no matter what.

What was going on?

Would this fire be the end of her?

No, she couldn't die.

Vera hammered on the door as she screamed, "Anyone out there? Help!"

However, it was as if she had been isolated from the rest of the world. No one came to her despite her cries.

The fire spread fast. It had only been burning at the dressing table a moment ago, but now it had reached where Vera had been sitting.

Locked door, missing phone, and she was all alone. It couldn't be a coincidence.

Someone wanted to burn her to death on her wedding day.

Vera felt chills all over her body as the thought crossed her mind. What now? What should she do? How could she escape?

Why was she the only one left in the room? Where was the makeup artist?

No, she couldn't just sit here and do nothing. She had finally gotten to this day after pursuing Quill for years. There was no way she'd resign to be burned to death.

But what could she do? When the fire started...

Vera looked at the second room. The fire had not spread there, and she remembered there was a bathroom in there. If there was a bathroom, there should be water.

Delighted, she ran toward the room.

Fortunately, there was a small basin in the bathroom, and Vera stumbled out with the basin filled with water. However, the fire had gotten worse, and that little amount of water was of no use at all.

At this rate, she would not be able to put out the blaze.

Vera returned to the bathroom to clog all the drains, then turned all the taps on before keeping the bathroom door open.

Soon, the water overflowed and flooded the bathroom.

She didn't know if it would work. But trapped and unable to put out the fire, this was all she could do.

She didn't slack off either. Even if all she had was a small basin, she still tried to put out the fire with it.

Although the little amount of water barely did anything, Vera thought it could, at least, slow the fire down a little. Even if it was only for a second, it would increase the chance of her survival.

She only hoped someone realized there was a fire and called 911.

She really did not want to die here.

She hadn't become Quill's wife yet. She hadn't even told him she was pregnant with his child. There was no way she'd resign to death. "Eire!"

Minerva held Beanie's hand as Maddox walked alongside her with Jelly Bean in his arms. The family of four came to Vera and Quill's wedding.

Minerva was occupied with things in the lobby, but she was also curious what Vera looked like after makeup, so she wanted to take Beanie along to see her.

However, just then, someone rushed in.

"Mr. Hanover, the dressing room is on fire."

Quill happened to be entertaining the guests, and when everyone heard the news, they couldn't help feeling anxious.

"What is going on?"

"Why is there suddenly a fire?"

Quill narrowed his eyes as he watched the man running towards him, out of breath. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know why, but the room Miss

Zais is in suddenly caught fire. Just now, when the makeup artist's assistant wanted to go in with

I

breakfast, she realized the door was jammed. After a while, she smelled something burning..."

Before he could finish his words, Quill had already disappeared.

"Say that again. What happened?"

After that, Minerva also ran in the direction Quill had disappeared to. Halfway through, she turned to look at Maddox and said, "Look after Beanie and Jelly Bean."

Maddox, who had been abandoned, was speechless.

"What is going on? Where's the fire? Is it where the bride is at?"

"No, it can't be this coincidental! Has anyone called 911? Hurry up!"

Maddox looked at the chaos around him, then at his children. No, child; there was only one left.

Beanie had run to Minerva when he wasn't looking.

D*mn, that child sure liked to add to the chaos. What could he do even if he ran to the fire?

Gritting his teeth, Maddox wanted to catch up to them as he held Jelly Bean in his arms.

"Maddox."

A voice came from behind. Abigail rushed over as she also heard about the fire. Seeing that he was alone, she understood what was going on. So she reached her hands out to him and said, "I'll take care of Jelly Bean. Go and take a look. Make sure the three of you come back safe and sound. Do you hear me?"

"Thank you, Auntie."

Abigail's arrival was a godsend. After all, Jelly Bean was too little, and it'd be inconvenient for Maddox to do anything with her in his arms.

"Hurry up and go."

Maddox left without another word.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mabie

and David had arrived at Vera's

dressing room. Everyone had

et

evacuated the floor, and they were

the only ones left. They tried to open

the door only to find it locked.

"What should we do? The door is not opening. Vivy, are you inside? Can you hear me? Open the door! There's a fire!"

Mabie was so worried that her voice was laced with sobs as she spoke. What was she to do if her daughter was really still inside? Why wouldn't the door open?Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

David also tried to open the door, only to fail too. Then, he said with a stern expression, "Someone must've broken the lock. No one will be able to go

in or out."

"What should we do? David, do something. Vivy is still in there. The smoke is so thick, it must be blazing in there."

"Hold on, calm down."

"How can I? Our daughter's in there. Our daughter!

How can I calm down?"

Mabie was so anxious that she burst into tears at the end of her words. Her newly applied makeup was immediately stained with tears, but she couldn't care less about it now.

"Hurry up and do something!"

"Stop crying. Step aside. I'll try and see if I can..."

Before David could finish his words, a steady voice came from behind, "Please step aside, Mr. and Mrs. lais."
