Ray Hudson's words made Esmee Perry cry sadly: "Uncle, I want Mommy, I want Mommy..."
Alex was jumping anxiously: "Uncle, think of something quickly, we have to rescue Mommy, we can't let her burn to death."
Ray Hudson said, "I've already called the police, the firefighters will be here soon."
"How soon is soon?" Alex asked, "A minute?"
"About ten minutes!"
This was a conservative estimate.
Tabby Teller's private villa was in the suburbs, a distance from the city center, with few residences nearby. Even if firefighters came, they might not find the road.
"Ten minutes?" Alex's eyes widened in worry, fearing that his mother would be ashes by then.
The fire at the villa was growing larger, even the exterior walls were ablaze, with Claudia Ross in grave danger in the bathroom.
Claudia Ross wrapped a soaking blanket around herself, curling up in the bathtub.
The bathroom's glass door had shattered due to the high heat, flames were leaping towards the bathroom.
