Chapter 242: Chapter 242: His Woman Can Only Die in His Arms
When he was a child, he always lived with the Keane family, but occasionally returned to the Blackwood family. Once, due to the negligence of a servant, the room he was staying in caught fire.
At that time, he was still young and couldn’t escape at all. It was Nina Shaw’s brother who came to find him that discovered the fire, but in rescuing him, perished in the flames himself...
This is what he owes the Shaw family.
But now, he will never allow Ivy Kensington to die!
If his woman must die, it can only be in his arms!
...
At this moment.
Ivy Kensington opened her eyes and saw a raging fire, shocking her.
It was Rhiannon Zane... Rhiannon Zane set this fire!
Rhiannon Zane had drugged her, and the effects hadn’t completely worn off. Ivy Kensington had no strength at all.
The baby in her belly seemed to sense the danger just like her, moving constantly. Ivy Kensington gently patted her protruding belly and whispered, "Baby, Mommy will definitely get you out safely..."
After speaking, she looked around and realized the room was the laboratory’s lounge.
The flames hadn’t yet completely surrounded the room. Ivy Kensington saw a water dispenser toppled over and quickly crawled toward it.
Without a towel at hand, she simply took off her jacket.
She dampened the clothing with water from the dispenser, then covered her mouth and nose, running towards the door.
It was locked tight, couldn’t be opened!
"Thunk—"
At that moment, a wooden bookshelf burned through and collapsed straight toward her!
Ivy Kensington’s heart jumped, and she used her last bit of strength to dodge it.
She was out of strength...
The smoke grew thicker, and the once-damp clothes quickly dried in a moment, the water dispenser had also burned through, the moisture evaporating instantly.
Ivy Kensington’s consciousness began to slip, she clung desperately to the doorknob.
"Open the door..."
She didn’t want to die; her baby hadn’t yet seen the world.
She hadn’t even told Sebastian Blackwood she liked him...
Tears welled up in Ivy Kensington’s eyes. No matter how upset she was about Sebastian’s favoritism towards Nina Shaw, in this moment, the person she wanted most was him.
"Bang—"
A loud noise erupted.
The door that wouldn’t open was suddenly forcefully burst open, and a tall figure charged in.
It was Sebastian Blackwood!
Through her blurry tears, Ivy Kensington, for a moment, thought she was hallucinating.
"Damned woman!"
The man growled softly in anger, yet his long legs strode forward, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly.
Only then did Ivy Kensington feel it was real.
It was him, it really was Sebastian Blackwood!
"I..."
She instinctively gripped his arm, wanting to tell him she actually liked him a lot, but just then, the partially burned bookshelf came crashing down!
"Sebastian!"
Ivy Kensington shouted in alarm, and her vision suddenly went black...
Outside, Owen Rhodes waited anxiously; he couldn’t imagine that someone as afraid of fire as Sebastian Blackwood would dare to go in to save someone.
Upon seeing Sebastian emerging with someone in his arms, he nearly burst into joyful tears, "Thank goodness you’re okay! Hurry to the hospital..."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the man halt abruptly, then kneel on one knee.
"Take Ivy Kensington to the hospital..."
Forcing out these final words, Sebastian Blackwood handed Ivy Kensington over to Owen Rhodes, and his tall figure collapsed completely.
The hospital.
The news of Sebastian Blackwood being sent to the emergency room quickly caused a commotion.
The media swarmed in.
"Is Master Blackwood in critical condition?"
"If something happens to Master Blackwood, who will take over the Blackwood Group?"
The journalists’ questions were increasingly sharp, leaving Owen Rhodes frantic, so he hurriedly contacted June Keane.
However, someone strided over.
"As for the Blackwood Group, of course, it will be taken over by me!"
