Chapter 45 Bet
“It’s on fire!”
Someone shouted, and the people in the room panicked and ran out one after another.
The office was on the eighth floor, so the elevator was definitely not safe. While they were running downstairs, they found that the fire had burned to the fourth floor, and the thick smoke blocked the stairs. They couldn’t see the situation clearly and almost choked to death.
The group had no choice but to return.
Cassie did not run with them. She turned around and saw Javen standing next to her, holding two wet towels in his hands.
“Take this and don’t breathe in the thick smoke.”
Cassie took out her phone and dialed 911. Seeing the mess in the company, she instantly raised her voice.
“Don’t panic. It’s useless to be nervous now. Instead, you may encounter danger. If you want to be safe, listen to me.”
The group of people raised their heads. Although they were frightened, they still chose to believe Cassie’s words.
“Now everyone, take out and wet the towels or clothes around you to cover your mouths and noses.”
“Then, try to wet yourself as much as possible to avoid being burned, and you can also lower your temperature.”
“In the end, everyone lines up properly and goes downstairs slowly one by one. Don’t huddle together. If the fire is too strong, stop. We’ll think of other ways.”
According to Cassie’s method, everyone began to go downstairs in an orderly manner.
Seeing that everyone was about to successfully withdraw, a timid girl in the back saw the fire and lost her handkerchief in a panic. In an instant, the thick smoke choked into her mouth. She rolled her eyes and began to cough violently.
Cassie frowned and handed her a towel.
“Thank you, Miss Garsia, but what about you?” The girl covered her nose and mouth gratefully as she looked at Cassie covering her nose with her hands.
“It doesn’t matter. I have a good physique, and I can hold on.”
Despite saying that, she clearly felt something abnormal in her throat and wanted to cough.
Javen stuffed his towel into Cassie’s hand and said lightly, “Use mine.”
Cassie shook her head and stuffed it back into his hands. “I don’t want what you used.”
Javen’s voice was firm and unquestionable. “I don’t want to repeat a second time.”
Cassie had no choice but to reach out and take it.
There was a faint scent of mint on Javen’s towel, it seemed to be the kind of toothpaste commonly used by him.
She used his towel. Did this count as an indirect kiss?
Thinking of this, Cassie slightly shook her head.
What was she thinking? How could she let her imagination run wild in this situation?
After only taking two steps, Cassie could clearly feel that Javen’s footsteps behind her were becoming more and more unsteady, and he couldn’t keep up anymore.
“Javen, are you alright?”
Javen couldn’t speak, so he reached out to pinch her hand to show that he still had consciousness.
Before he could retract his hand, it was grabbed by Cassie.
Cassie’s hand was not big but slender. Her warm fingers held his big hand tightly, which made him feel inexplicably at ease.
Cassie said softly, “Javen, don’t fall behind.”
She held Javen’s hand and walked out step by step.
Under the guidance of scientific methods, they successfully escaped from the scene of the fire.
As soon as he got out, Javen felt dizzy, and he collapsed on a stone bench by the side of the road.
“Javen, how are you? Hold on a little longer. The ambulance is coming soon.”
Javen shook his head. Even though he was weak, his voice was still steady. “I’m fine.”
“The fire happened too suddenly this time. I don’t even need to think to know that Andy is behind it.”
When Cassie mentioned Andy’s name, her eyes immediately turned cold.
Javen lowered his eyes and hid the coldness in them.
“It’s okay. When I find out the result, I’ll…”
Before Javen could finish his sentence, he immediately felt a wave of pain assault him. It was so painful that he nearly fainted.
Cassie noticed that something was wrong with him. She looked at his back and noticed that there was a large patch of burn marks on his shoulder.
It was bloody and mangled, and clothes stuck to the flesh. It was a horrible sight.
Cassie’s face instantly became serious, and her tone was also reproachful. “Javen, why didn’t you tell me that you were burned?”
He had been burned inside just now, but he hadn’t even groaned as he forced himself to walk out.
She looked at the burn and thought of the fact that he hadn’t even used a towel for her. Pain and guilt welled up in her heart.
“There’s no need to say.”
“No need to say? Javen, do you take your body seriously? Do you really think you are formidable and omnipotent?”
Javen looked at her slightly losing control and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, the ambulance arrived in time to resolve the argument that would be triggered at any moment between the two.
Javen was sent to the nearest hospital for treatment.
After the doctor finished examining his burn, he frowned and said, “This burn is too serious, and it can’t be completely healed. It may leave a scar in the future. But if I can use more medicine, it can fade the scar a little.”
Javen agreed, not caring.
After all, having another scar on his body was nothing to him.
Cassie looked at Javen, who was sitting on the bed, and said seriously, “Javen, I can cure your scars completely.”
“Really?”
Javen hesitated for a moment before asking.
Cassie checked the degree and the size of the burn and automatically came up with a treatment plan in her mind.
After hearing this, the doctor couldn’t help laughing. “Little girl, I know that you are in a hurry to save your love. I can understand this, but you can’t talk nonsense in order to save him.”
When he heard the word “love”, Javen’s heart skipped a beat.
Cassie held on. “It’s not nonsense.”
The doctor was stunned and said with a hint of mockery in his tone, “Little girl, it’s really not that I don’t believe you. You don’t seem to have learned any medical skills. Even if you really know medical skills, according to the current medical technology, it’s impossible to cure his burn.”
“Doctor, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t do it either. You’re too short-sighted.”
Cassie’s words directly aroused the doctor’s desire to win. He felt a little embarrassed. He sneered and said, “Little girl, you have to pay the price for saying that.”
“I know, doctor.”
Seeing her calm look, the doctor was so angry. “You’re really a little girl with an exaggerated opinion of his abilities. I really don’t know who gave you such confidence.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Since you don’t believe me, why don’t we make a bet?” Cassie smiled politely at the doctor. “If I haven’t cured him, I apologize to you, but if I cure the burns on his body…”
The doctor agreed right away. “If you have cured, I’ll retire immediately.”
