Chapter 226 Leaning Closer to Her
Police cars whizzed and arrived. After pulling over, Remington got out of the car and saw the vehicle parked in front of him.
"We found it. That's the suspect's car."
Roger and the others also got out of the car, and he noticed thick smoke rising from a nearby warehouse.
"The warehouse over there is on fire."
"Cecelia might be inside."
Remington also saw the smoke and felt anxious. He turned around and grabbed the fire extinguisher from the car and rushed toward the entrance of the warehouse.
Roger and the others waved and led their team to find the firefighting equipment nearby.
When Remington reached the entrance of the warehouse, he found that the warehouse burned with fire. He desperately looked for Cecelia. "Cece! Cecelia! Are you in there?"
"Remington...."
Cecelia, who was growing increasingly unconscious, faintly heard Remington's shouts.
She wondered, "Am I hallucinating? It sounded so surreal."
Remington also faintly heard Cecelia's voice, and he sprayed the fire madly. After extinguishing a patch of flames, he rushed in.
There was thick smoke everywhere inside. Surrounded by flames, Remington kept calling Celia's name. "Cecelia, where are you? Cecelia! Cece!"
As he rushed inside, he tripped over someone and fell to the ground.
When he carefully touched and took a look, he realized that it turned out to be Cecelia.
He found her.
Remington was overjoyed. He helped her up and shook her hard. "Cece! Cece! Wake up!"
"Remington," Cecelia mumbled softly before completely passing out.
"Cece! I'll take you out. I'll take you out now."
Remington picked up Cecelia, but by this time, the old fabrics in the warehouse had already caught fire. Flames soared and the situation became extremely dangerous.
They couldn't rush out of the engulfing fire at all.
Just as Remington was feeling anxious, a stream of water was sprayed in from outside. Roger and the others had brought in a fire hose and were spraying water at the flames at the entrance.
The water extinguished the flames at the entrance, and Remington quickly took the opportunity to rush out with Cecelia in his arms.
As soon as he stepped out, a whole wall of fabric in the warehouse collapsed, and flames spread across the ground.
A mere one-minute delay would have resulted in the fire completely engulfing both Remington and Cecelia.
Seeing Remington rescue Cecelia, Roger breathed a sigh of relief. "How is Miss Cecelia?"
"She's unconscious."
Remington carried Cecelia into the car first.
"I'll drive. Let's take her to the hospital!"
Roger delegated the task of handling the situation to his subordinates. They had already informed the fire department, and rescue vehicles would arrive soon.
Then Roger drove Remington and Cecelia to the hospital as soon as possible.
Remington carried Cecelia out of the car and went straight to the emergency room.
"Doctor! Doctor! Please save her! Please!"
Remington was burning with anxiety, hoping that Cecelia could be fine.
He didn't even dare to imagine life without her.
Remington placed Cecelia on a movable stretcher bed and turned to grab the doctor, issuing a commanding roar. "Hurry up and save her! You must save her! Hurry!"
The doctor was intimidated by his aura and repeatedly promised, "Okay. Okay. We will do our best!"
The medical staff pushed the stretcher bed into the emergency room, and the doors closed.
