Silvia quickly recovered, and she was discharged from the hospital a week later. However, Daisy and her family were nowhere to be found. They might have gone abroad.
Silvia even asked Dominic to look into the matter, but it was to no avail. It proved that a mastermind was pulling the strings.
The day she was discharged, Silvia and Neil thanked the firefighter who had saved her.
However, she remained quiet on the way home, and her thoughts were a mystery.
Back at the mansion, Neil finally asked, “Did something happen? You didn’t say a word on the way home.”
Silvia shook her head. “No. Maybe I’m just tired.”
“Go ahead and rest. I’ll wake you up when dinner’s ready.”
“Alright.”
However, Silvia started looking for news reports on the fire when she was back in her room.
She closed the webpage when she found an article about the firefighters’ brave efforts to save her. She had miraculously survived the fire.
For some reason, she found the firefighter unfamiliar when she saw him today. She had a feeling that he was not the one who had saved her.
Besides, his voice was different from the one she heard before she blacked out. She wondered if she was just imagining things.
After a brief hesitation, she texted Chris.
[Chris, I was almost killed in a fire a few days ago. I felt like I saw you before I blacked out.]
She quickly received a reply.
[I think you were hallucinating because I’ve been filming in Grand Film City these past few days.]
An indescribable feeling hit her as she read his text. She was unsure if she was relieved or not, but she could finally stop overthinking.
[Okay. I’ll let you get back to your work.]
He decided to stop talking since everything he said had gone over Alan’s head. He hoped that Chris could wake up soon.
…
Neil’s knocking woke Silvia up. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. Night had fallen.
She sat up slowly and recalled the dream she just had. In a daze, she thought that she was still in that room and the blazing fire was about to consume her.
She saw the person who came to save her the moment she woke up. To her surprise, it was Chris.
Silvia shook her head involuntarily and felt like she was possessed.
She guessed that she might have replaced the firefighter’s face with Chris’s since she had assumed that Chris was her savior.
After she got out of bed, she opened the door. Looking at Neil, she said, “I’ll go downstairs after I wash my face.”
They were about to rest after dinner when someone rang the doorbell out of the blue.
