In a soft voice, I gently reminded him, “But I hope that if such a situation arises again in the future, you’ll reach out to me and Caleb for assistance.

Acting independently could make you an unwitting pawn in the schemes of malevolent forces, and the consequences could be irreversible.

Jackson nodded without hesitation and affirmed, “Alright, I understand.

I won’t be so impulsive and will consult you both.

Relieved, I smiled and added, “The Barton family will face the consequences of their wrongdoing.

And as for the medicine to cure Fiona’s ailment, you needn’t worry.

It’s nearing completion.

I promise that she will make a full recovery.

Your job is to take care of her and await the healing patiently.

“Thank you.

” Bella’s and Jackson’s eyes glistened with tears as they profusely expressed their gratitude.

They were still keen on treating us to dinner, but our responsibilities compelled us to decline their kind offer.

As we left the hospital, en route to the villa to attend to our pressing matters, I happened to glimpse a towering conflagration in the distance.

The once cerulean sky had been stained a dusty khaki hue.

The source of the fire was distressingly close to the jail.

An ominous premonition settled upon me.

“Caleb, please find out what’s happening!”

Caleb promptly retrieved his phone and dialed the number of a nearby guard.

As soon as the call connected, his voice turned stern.

“What’s the situation around a thousand meters from the jail? Why is there such a massive fire suddenly raging?”

The voice on the other end sounded panicked.

“Alpha Caleb, Barton’s henchmen have helped him escape from prison!”

“What?” Caleb’s shock was palpable as he frowned deeply.

“Can you explain what’s transpired exactly? And what about Janiya, Luis’ daughter?”

The guard hastened to explain, “Luis managed to break out of prison with Janiya, but she grew erratic on their escape and refused to leave with him.

An altercation between them led to a car accident.

As for the fire, their vehicle collided with an oncoming oil tanker, sparking the inferno.

Debra’s POV:

Caleb and I exchanged a glance, our eyes mirroring the shared concern and anxiety.

We knew Luis was not one to go down without a fight.

Would he just die like that?

We didn’t have the luxury of time for idle contemplation.

Urgency compelled us to make our way to the scene without delay.

As we arrived, the car was engulfed in a ferocious blaze, thick smoke billowing into the air, laden with the acrid stench of burning oil that made breathing a daunting task.

The narrow road was congested with traffic, the onlookers choking on the fumes, their morbid fascination unable to deter them from the spectacle.

Amid the chaos, fire engines and ambulances screeched to a halt, their sirens wailing in a discordant symphony of alarm and foreboding.

The strident whistle of the police added an undercurrent of unease, a palpable sense of looming danger.

The skilled firefighters sprang into action, swiftly quelling most of the fire, their bravery eclipsing the perilous conditions.

Emerging from the heavy shroud of smoke, they carried out a covered corpse on a stretcher.

I strained to catch a glimpse, but the features remained obscured beneath the shroud.

As the stretcher jostled, a charred hand slipped free.
