“Now isn’t the time to talk about that. ” Dominic forced himself to calm down as he scanned the area. His gaze caught on a fire extinguisher in the corner.
He grabbed it at once.
Of course, this kind of extinguisher could not put out a fire like this.
Dominic yanked out the pin and sprayed wildly at Jewel. White powder burst out and instantly coated her.
He shoved the extinguisher into her hands. “Quick, spray me p>
Jewel acted without hesitation.
Afterward, Dominic felt a little steadier. He took the extinguisher back, stepped toward the door, and began smashing it with all his strength.
Under normal circumstances, it would be nearly impossible for an ordinary person to shatter tempered glass.
But Dominic was no longer acting like an ordinary person. The raging fire could swallow them at any second. A fierce madness burned in his eyes.
He did not want to die. He could not die. He had to live. He still had to take care of Lilith.
That resolve drove his strength to surge once more.
The deafening impact stunned Jewel. She stared as Dominic raised the extinguisher and slammed it into the glass door again. After only three blows, the metal casing was already badly dented. The sheer force behind the strikes was terrifying.
At that moment, Jewel thought he looked like a superhero. His body did not appear especially imposing, yet it gave her an overwhelming sense of safety.
The flames crept closer, like the Grim Reaper’s scythe.
Scorching heat and thick black smoke closed in around them.
Jewel could barely breathe, yet her heart felt strangely calm. She believed that as long as she stayed beside Dominic, everything would be all right.
Another violent impact echoed through the space, and spiderweb–like fractures raced across the tempered glass.
This was human strength pushed to its limit.
Dominic’s eyes lit up. He lifted the extinguisher again, drew in a deep breath, and swung with exaggerated force.
This time, he put everything into it, and the glass door shattered completely.
Dominic flung the extinguisher aside, seized Jewel’s hand, and pulled her through the opening.
They did not take the elevator. Instead, they ran straight down the emergency stairwell.
When they burst out of the Garcia Tower, cries of shock rose from all directions.
“Look, someone got out p>
A dense crowd had gathered outside, with several fire engines and ambulances parked nearby.
A firefighter rushed over and shouted, “Medic, get over here. Now p>
One glance told him that Dominic and Jewel had escaped from the fire.

Only then did Dominic finally release a long breath. Every inch of his body ached.
Jewel was still holding his hand when she suddenly spoke. “Dominic p>
He turned toward her and saw a faint smile cross her face. Then her eyes closed, her strength gave out, and she collapsed.
His heart lurched. He caught her at once and shouted to the medical staff running over, “Save her first p>
“Save them both p>
Two stretchers were wheeled in, and Dominic was placed on one as well.
A firefighter asked urgently, “Is there anyone else still inside p>
“There shouldn’t be,” Dominic said. “But I can’t be sure. ”
“Understood p>
The firefighter waved, and both stretchers were loaded into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.
Dominic could not hold on any longer. His eyes slid shut.
Through the haze, he heard crying and shouting.
When Dominic opened his eyes again, he froze.
The ward was in complete chaos.
That little psycho was locked in a fight with Isabella, while Autumn and Katherine struggled to pull them apart.
Dominic stared in disbelief. ‘No. Seriously. How did this turn into a brawl p>
