True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 220 Fate Unknown

"The whole building was on fire, even affecting those who had just managed to escape the inferno.

The fire chief led his team to rescue Cordelia, then anxiously asked, ""Where's Mr. Winters? Why hasn't he come down?"" A firefighter replied, ""Mr. Winters stayed behind to save Mrs. Winters and told us to jump first. He's still inside.""

The fire chief panicked. ""This is crazy! He's the Winters Family heir. If something happens to him, we're in big trouble!""

He quickly organized the team to keep fighting the fire, but it was too intense, and there was a risk of another explosion. The flames could spread to the entire Winters Mansion.

Just then, someone reported, ""Chief, the gas pipeline was tampered with, but it's fixed now. No more explosions expected."" """Is the power cut off?""

""Yes, it is.""

""Good. You guys come with me to rescue Mr. Winters. The rest, focus on containing the fire!"" ""Yes, sir.""

The fire chief led his team back into the blaze.

Derek saw only Cordelia had come out and knew what had happened. He ordered, ""Dominic, take her to the hospital and tell the reporters outside that Sebastian risked his life to save his mother and his condition is unknown."" Dominic followed the order and left.

When the ambulance left the Winters Mansion, reporters swarmed the gate.

Dominic jumped out and urgently said, """"Please! You're blocking the ambulance! Mrs. Winters' life is in danger! Mr. Winters risked everything to save her!""

Hearing this, reporters turned their cameras on Dominic. ""What do you mean he risked his life to save Mrs. Winters?""

Dominic replied, ""Mr. Winters rushed into the fire to save her, ignoring his own safety. Just as he got her out, there was a second explosion. His condition is now unknown. If you keep blocking the way, you'll make his efforts in vain."" Everyone quickly stepped aside, and the ambulance sped past.

Reporters started discussing.

""How did this happen? Wasn't it said that Mr. Winters abused Mrs. Winters? Why would he risk his life to save her now? Could the rumors be false?""

"""I knew Mr. Winters wasn't that kind of person. Someone must have spread false information.""

""If it wasn't genuine, who would risk their life to save someone? I need to write about this.""

""I need to clear Mr. Winters' name. He isn't unfilial; someone must be framing him.""

Just moments ago, the internet was full of posts accusing Sebastian of being unfilial and blaming Derek for his wife's death. Now, the netizens' attitude had changed. The new posts quickly became trending topics. Joyce woke up from a nightmare, dreaming of Sebastian covered in blood. Terrified, she sat up, sweating.

Once she calmed down, she realized it was just a dream. She relaxed and reached for her phone, but it wasn't there. 'Did Sebastian take it away, worried about radiation?'

Joyce glanced out the window. 'It's dark outside, it should be late, but why hasn't Sebastian come up yet?'

Feeling puzzled, Joyce put on a coat and walked out of the bedroom. At the top of the stairs, she saw the lights in the first-floor hall were still on. It didn't look late at all.

Joyce could hear Benjamin sighing downstairs. She sensed something was wrong. 'After Benjamin's surgery, the doctor told him to go to bed early. Why is he still up?' Joyce went downstairs and asked, ""Dad, why aren't you asleep yet?""

Benjamin trembled and looked at her with a pale face. He stammered, ""I had trouble sleeping, so I came out for some fresh air. Why are you awake? Go back to bed; it's cold down here.""

He tried to push Joyce back, but she dodged him. She looked into his evasive eyes and asked, ""Dad, where's Sebastian? Did something happen to him?""

Benjamin forced a smile. ""Nothing happened. He just had some work at the company. He'll be back soon. Don't worry, go back to sleep.""

Joyce felt uneasy. Benjamin kept pushing her upstairs, clearly hiding something. ""Dad, where's my phone? I want to call Sebastian.""

Benjamin made an excuse, ""It's late; you shouldn't use your phone. It's not good for the baby. Sebastian will be fine. You'll see him in the morning. Now, go to sleep.""

He put his arm around Joyce's shoulder and led her upstairs. She took advantage of his distraction and grabbed his phone from his pocket.

When she unlocked the screen, she saw a live broadcast of a fire scene filled with smoke. Seeing the comments, Joyce felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

She gripped the phone tightly, staring at the comments. Despite the speed, she saw them clearly. All the comments were praying for Sebastian. And the place on fire was the Winters Mansion. Joyce's eyes filled with tears. She looked at Benjamin with tearful eyes. ""Dad, take me to the Winters Mansion.""

Seeing he couldn't hide it anymore, Benjamin tried to comfort her, ""Joyce, it's very dangerous there. You have to trust Sebastian. He escaped from the war; a fire won't stop him. Listen to me, come upstairs. Your safety and the baby's are what he cares about the most.""

""Dad, please, take me there. I promise I'll be careful. I just want to see him.""

"Joyce, this fire... it wasn't an accident. I'm worried they want you and Sebastian to get hurt. Don't fall into their trap.""

"Dad, that's exactly why I need to be there. I won't let them hurt him. I have to find him""

Benjamin knew he couldn't persuade Joyce. He patted her shoulder and said, ""Alright, we'll go. But you have to promise me you'll be careful. Stay close to me, and don't go anywhere near the fire, do you understand?"" Joyce held back her tears and nodded. She knew Sebastian was in great danger, and the Winters Group was facing a crisis. She couldn't sit idly by.

On the way to the Winters Mansion, Joyce learned the whole story. When she found out that Cordelia had set herself on fire, she bit her lip hard.

After getting out of the car, Joyce didn't rush to the fire scene as Benjamin had feared. Instead, she walked over to Derek and calmly said, ""Mr. Winters, seal off the area. No one is allowed to leave.""

Seeing her, Derek worriedly said, ""Joyce, why are you here? Go back.""

""Mr. Winters, there's a traitor in the Winters Family. We need to find them before they strike again.""

Seeing her determination, Derek sighed and said, ""The area is already sealed off. All the Winters Family servants are being held. But Sebastian hasn't come out yet.""

Joyce looked towards the remnants of Red Cottage, unable to hide the pain in her eyes. Her throat felt like it was being torn apart.

With red eyes, Joyce looked in that direction and hoarsely said, ""Sebastian, if you dare leave me and our child, I will never forgive you."""
