My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 96

When the second fire engine arrived, the firemen immediately set up the ladder while asking some people about the situation inside of the building.

The windows were burning up and thick smoke billowed so they had to put the ladder at the side.

As soon as the firemen finish setting up the ladder, Jack and Michael helped Rachel stepped on it. One fireman then supported her while going down.

Michael went down after Rachel. When it was Jack's turn to step on the ladder, he halted and turned around as if he remembered something.

"There are still three people inside," he told the fireman. Right after he finished informing the fireman, someone ran from behind while anxiously waving his hand. "Help! Help! Help!" Then another one came out. "Help us! Don't go yet!"

After Rachel, Jack, and Michael were rescued, the firemen rescued the bad guys too. They were then arrested by the police after Rachel gave her statement.

Since the situation was already stabilized, everyone decided to leave.

The firemen urged them to vacate the place quickly because there were some rumors that there might be some explosives inside the building. Rachel found it difficult to walk because her ankle was swollen.

Lucas knelt down to check her ankle.

After careful examination, he stood up and said in a serious tone, "We need to bring her to the hospital to treat her ankle."

Lea came over to help Rachel stand up.

"Let's go. Hurry up," she said.

Looking at Lea's nervous expression, Rachel couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry too much, okay? It's not that serious."

Everyone surrounded Rachel. They were all worried about her.

The news spread like wildfire, so when many people found that Jack and his wife were rescued, they all rushed to them. Some wanted to know the current situation while the others just wanted to see Jack and Rachel in person.

People gathered around, whispering to each other. All of a sudden, they also noticed Celine who had been standing quietly in the corner. The expressions on their faces changed upon seeing her. They didn't expect that she would also be there.

However, no one paid much attention to Celine. Even Jack didn't bother to look at her because all his attention was focused on Rachel.

She peered at the direction of Jack, hoping that he would look back. But to her dismay, all he cared about was Rachel.

Celine boiled with anger. Looking at everyone's worried face, she almost lost her mind. She ■d

suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head but she only clenched her teeth to suppress the rage she was feeling inside. 'Why is everyone so worried about her? She's not even dead yet!' she thought inwardly.

Fortunately, she hadn't totally lost her sanity so she didn't rushed to them. She remained standing at the corner quietly. This was the greatest restraint she had ever done in her entire life.

The number of people surrounding Rachel increased when some curious passersby also stopped to check what was happening.

Rachel felt suffocated and her head was spinning because of too many people around her. She was about to struggle and shout when someone spoke up. "Why is everyone gathered here? Don't you realize that you are blocking the air for the patient?" Jack said unhappily.

He only found out that they were already surrounded by so many people when he looked up. All the while, his only concern was Rachel.

Even the policemen found it difficult to disperse the crowd.

Luckily, the people around listened to Jack. They gradually scattered and gave way for Rachel to breathe some air. Jack took the opportunity to lift her up and carried her in his arms. Everyone was stunned upon witnessing what he did.

Rachel reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Before she could say anything, Jack said to Lucas, "The ambulance is still on the way. I can't wait any longer so I'll take her to the hospital now." ■d

"Okay," Lucas agreed with a nod.

Jack's overbearing aura made everyone speechless. However, the anxiety on his face was also very apparent.

Seriously? Why was Jack so nervous about Rachel?

Lea couldn't take it anymore so she asked Henry in a low voice, "What's wrong with him? Is he really worried about Rachel?"

Henry cleared his throat before he answered, "You're right."

Michael led the way while Jack followed behind with Rachel in his arms. He was so focused on Rachel that he didn't even notice Celine when he passed by her.

Celine was just staring at him while he was carrying another woman in his arms. She was so hurt because Jack treated her like a stranger just now.

When she couldn't stand it anymore, she ran after him quickly and grabbed his shirt. "Jack!" she shouted sharply.

People around exchanged surprised glances. No one dared to say a word. Even Rachel was shocked when she peeped through Jack's arms and saw the woman behind him.

Jack stopped and turned to face Celine. His eyes moved slowly from her hand to her pretty face.

"Let's talk later," he said slowly.
