536 Fox Gives Itself Away

Peter looked Susan up and down, and just as he was about to speak, her eyes were filled with tears. “Peter, do you suspect me too? We’ve been together for two years. Can’t you trust me? I saved your life back then. I almost died for you, and still, you don’t trust me!”

Her eyes welled up with grievance.

Peter immediately gave in. “I didn’t mean it. Please don’t cry…

Susan turned away from him. “If you can’t trust me, we might as well not get married!”

After Susan said this, she headed out dispiritedly.

Peter anxiously turned to see Mary and Ellis being escorted out by firefighters. Seeing that they weren’t seriously injured, he immediately ran after Susan.

However, the Olsens didn’t pay much attention to them. They walked up to meet Ellis and Mary.

Mary was still in her pajamas, her belly slightly protruding after three months into her pregnancy, but because of her slim figure, one couldn’t tell unless they looked closely.

She must have come into contact with something charred when she had just come out, as there was a bit of ash on her white pajama.

Ellis, however, looked much more disheveled than her.

His suit was tattered and burned, with several holes in it. His face was covered in soot, and there was a slight burn on his arm, but it had been bandaged.

Yet his expression was one of pleasure.

Adversity revealed true feelings.

When the South residence caught fire, Ellis charged into the blaze. The fire spread quickly, and the smoke was thick. He covered his mouth and nose and rushed to Mary’s room on the second floor.

The door was closed. He knocked and shouted from the outside, but it didn’t open.

Eventually, with no other choice, he kicked the door open and burst in to rescue Mary, only to find the room empty.

The sheets and quilt had started to burn, but there was no one there,

But the bedroom had been locked from the inside earlier. He immediately rushed into the bathroom, but there was still no sign of Mary, and he began to call her name.

Just then, the wardrobe suddenly moved. A door opened, and Mary ran out anxiously, looking at Ellis. “How did you get in here?”
