My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 

Flames flowed like terrifying waves along the ceiling toward the door. 

The enormous impact toppled the walls. 

Harrison saw Nash standing in front of him, blocking the flames. He was instantly shocked. 

“Nashy, w-why did you come in too?” 

His father was trapped in the fire, so he had to come in. 

Even if he could not get out, at least he could repay his father for his upbringing. 

Nonetheless, Nash was different. He was Hera’s boyfriend, and the two were not married yet. If anything happened to Nash, how would he explain this to Hera? 

Nash looked at the unrecognizable old man and felt as if something was blocking his throat. 

The ceiling began to fracture, and the burning chandelier was about to fall. 

Cracks began spreading like spider webs on all four walls. 

In the searing heat, there was a pungent stench. 

Nash frowned and immediately shouted, “Let’s go… Hurry!” 

Harrison wanted to help his father up, but he was already oxygen-deprived and could not muster any more strength. 

Enduring the intense pain all over his body, Herman muttered through gritted teeth, “The box… My box…” 

Harrison quickly picked up his father’s iron box. “Dad, here’s the box…” 

At that moment, Nash heard the sound of an electronic timer coming from the wardrobe. 

His pupils contracted sharply, and his inner energy began to surge wildly. 

His body emitted a white glow as he swiftly grabbed the two of them and rushed out of the villa. 

A deafening explosion resounded. 

The tallest villa in the Lewis family’s estate exploded once again. 

Glass fragments and shattered wall debris scattered everywhere. 

Jupiter shouted, “Get down… Quickly get down… Cover your heads with your hands!” 

Everyone lay down on the ground covering their heads. 

“Mom, be careful…” 

Hera saw fragments of a window flying toward them. Panicked, she quickly pushed her mother to the ground. 

After a while, they stared blankly at the villa that was reduced to two floors. 

“H-Harrison…” 

Lauren’s lips trembled as she called her husband’s name. 

At that moment, she felt her world crumbling down. 

Her heart ached as if it were pierced by a thousand arrows. 

“Nash…” 

Hera looked at the sea of fire in despair. 

Her mind was blank, and she had lost all ability to think. 

In the distance, Helena silently watched the collapsed ruins.
