Chapter 390
The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride
The fire seemed to grow bigger with every passing minute, and the smoke mingled with the clouds in the sky.
It was a serious fire accident, and the people gathered around gasped in fear.
At that moment, a helicopter with the Larson Groupâs logo broke through the smoke and hovered above the rooftop.
The rope ladder rolled down, and the rescuers climbed down. Several men in bright orange suits jumped off the rope and saved Ethan, who had passed out.
The sound of the propeller gradually reached Janetâs ears. Seeing the helicopter parked in an open space near the neighborhood, she immediately rushed over.
Ethanâs face was covered in soot, and there were multiple burns on his body. He was unconscious. The blood from the wounds soaked his shirt.
All the residents swarmed around him, and some kind-hearted person called 911.
âHe is severely injured.â
âDonât worry, young lady. The ambulance will arrive soon!â
Tears streamed down Janetâs cheeks when she realized what Ethan had been through. She wiped the tears off her face and escorted Ethan to the ambulance along with the firefighters.
Laney saw Janetâs swollen ankles and realized she must have hurt herself when she fell on the air cushion.
âYou should treat the injury on your ankles first.â
Janet shook her head fiercely. She forced herself to calm down and got in the ambulance with Ethan.
âPlease go to this hospital.â Janet gave the address of Frankâs hospital.
The driver didnât refuse. He knew it was a high-end private hospital, and the equipment there was much better than those at public hospitals.
As soon as they arrived at the front gate of the hospital, Janet saw Frank standing there with a dozen medical staff as if they had been waiting for a big shot.
Frank ran over as he watched his people wheeled Ethan into the hospital in a stretcher bed.
His face turned grim when he saw Ethanâs conditions.
âTake him to the OR and call the attending doctor of the Dermatology Department right away.â Frank hurriedly ordered the nurse. Then, he and a dozen doctors pushed Ethan into the operating room and began treating him.
Janet clenched her fists and anxiously paced outside the door.
Her swelled-up ankles had turned red.
Laney couldnât help but feel sorry for her. She went to the nurse and got some ointment for Janet. âYou donât have to keep staring at the door. He is right inside there and wonât go anywhere.â She grabbed Janetâs arm and helped her sit down. âThe doctors are treating him now.â
Although Janet was sitting on a chair, her eyes were still fixed on the door of the operating room.
âEthan is seriously injured. He said he would get out of the place safely with me.â
Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about it.
Laney wasnât good at comforting people. She hadnât even cried once after becoming an adult. All she could do was sit beside Janet and accompany her.
Some doctors came out of the OR, and then more went in.
The next afternoon, the light of the operating room finally turned green.
Frank walked out, his face taut with exhaustion.
Janetâs heart sank when she saw the expression on his face. âDoctor Watson, how is Ethan?â She hurriedly ran over and asked him.
