The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 226

Sebastian had also noticed the smoke.He got up and went into the kitchen to check what was going on.

“The stove doesn’t seem to be on.” He knitted his brows and smelled something burning again.

The smell of smoke caused Natalie to cough.

Covering her mouth with her hand, she got up from the sofa and asked him, “Sebastian, do you have the feeling that it’s getting hot here?”

“I’ll go check outside.”

Sebastian’s eyes darkened noticeably.

He made his way to the door and as soon as he opened it, a heat wave and thick smoke rushed into the room. It appeared that some apartment downstairs from them was on fire.

The stairway had already been sealed by the fire and the thick black smoke blurred their path ahead.

They heard people shouting and running in a hurry to get away.

People were shouting out loud, “Fire! Fire!”

Sebastian immediately closed the door.He ran into the bathroom to wet the towels, which he then draped over Natalie and himself

“What would cause this fire? There’s no one else on our floor, and I’m pretty sure the 21st floor is empty as well…”

Natalie coughed, her eyes tearing up from all the heavy smoke she couldn’t fathom why this was happening.

Their apartment was on the top floor, and no one else lived beside or below their unit. The fire had escalated at this point, and a dark cloud of smoke spread through the corridor, turning the place into a hot oven.

“Shh, it’s okay,” Sebastian comforted her.

“Someone must have called 911; the firefighters should be on their way. They’ll be here soon.”

His face was glistening with sweat, with drops trickling from his chin.

“I’ll go and check how bad itis out there.Let me see if we have a way to escape on our own.Stay here and watch yourself, okay?
