Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 687 A Narrow Escape

As Gabrielle mentioned the smell of something burning, Christina also caught a whiff of it. “Smells like something’s burning.”

However, before she could process it further, Gabrielle suddenly pointed at the door with a panicked expression. “Christina, fire! There’s a fire!”

Christina whipped around and watched as the flames rapidly spread into the room, quickly engulfing the entire storeroom.

“Quick, let’s get out of here!” Christina exclaimed, grabbing the stunned Gabrielle and pulling her toward the nearest exit, desperate to escape the growing inferno.

Bang!

The iron grill nearby slammed shut, sealing off their only escape route.

The storeroom was filled with highly flammable materials, and the fire rapidly spread, engulfing the entire space. Smoke quickly filled the room, making it difficult to breathe.

Christina pulled Gabrielle toward a rack, seeking shelter from the encroaching flames. However, she accidentally inhaled the smoke in the chaos, causing a burning sensation in her throat.

Gabrielle, panicking, exclaimed, “Christina, what do we do? My phone has no signal!” Her heart sank as she realized her phone had no signal bars.

Christina swiftly checked her phone as well, hoping for a signal, but to her dismay, she had no signal either. Coughing, she replied, “I don’t have a signal either.”

Consumed by fear, Gabrielle cried out, “What are we going to do? Are we going to die here?”

She had recently regained her self–confidence and planned to confess her feelings to Julian soon.

But now, in the face of this tragedy, she couldn’t help but wonder if their love was not meant to be in this lifetime.

In contrast, Christina remained calm and composed, her mind racing to find a solution.
