Chapter 1432
"What's going on? Why was there suddenly a fire?" "You are here, but why isn't your father here yet? Is he still looking for something? Don't worry, maybe your father will come out soon."
Some people asked Quill to show them his hands, but he hid his hand behind his back and kept telling them, "I beg you, my father fainted and he can't come out. Please help him!"
When they heard that he had fainted, the adults realized that the situation was much more serious than they had imagined. Initially, when they saw that even a child could successfully escape from the fire, they thought that Haward, who was an adult, would definitely be able to escape too. However, no one thought that he would faint.
Unexpectedly, several people immediately got up and rushed towards the fire.
However, before they reached the door, they hesitated. They didn't dare to step forward.
"I-It's so hot. Will we be able to come out after entering?"
That one sentence made the others hesitate.
"You are right. The fire is too big. It'll be dangerous if we go in. Shall we put it out first?" "Quill, you go to the side first and leave it to the adults, okay?"
Although Quill was young, he could see their hesitation. Although they stood in front of the door, they couldn't get in. His father was still suffering inside.
He came to his senses and turned back to run inside, but he was stopped by the adult closest to him, "Hey, why are you not listening to us? You can't go in because the fire is so big. What if you also catch fire? Wait at the side. You can't go in again."
"M-My father is still inside!" Quill struggled to run in, but the man did allow him to go in, and his strength was no match for him at all.
"Dad! Dad!" Quill was shouting non-stop. It was probably because his voice was too tragic and sad that the adults beside him could not bear to watch this scene.
"Or let's go in and have a look. That child managed to escape despite the fire."
"Yeah, even a child is not afraid. As an adult, it would be very embarrassing if we back down now."
"You stay here, Quill. Wait for us outside. We will go in and save your father now."
Several men rolled up their sleeves and were ready to enter the fire. At this time, the firemen came. They surrounded the fire and began to evacuate the people around them.
When Quill saw those people surround his house, he was so anxious that he wanted to run over while shouting for his father.
A fireman squatted down and gave him a hug.
"Kid, the fire inside is very big. You can't run in like that or you will get hurt."
After that, the fireman noticed that Quill's hand was badly injured. "How did you get hurt?"
"Dad! Dad!"
Quill still wanted to run in, but the fireman heard what he said, and his face became dignified. "Do you mean that your father is still inside?" "Uncle, can you save my father? Thank you!"
As a fireman, he had to accept this request. He immediately said seriously, "Alright, I will go in to save your father, but you have to promise me that you can't run around, understand?"
Quill nodded. "Thank you, Uncle. You must save my father."
After the fireman was sure that Quill would not run around, he got up and discussed it with his teammates, and then several people went in to save Quill's father.
Quill did not stand at the side. He
had been standing as near as he could without getting hurt. He wanted to wait there for his father to

At this moment, Phoebe, who bought the cake, came back. She was carrying the cake box in her hand. From a distance, she saw the fire soaring in the sky. She walked quickly, doubtful. When she saw the fire in her house, she wasNôvelDrama.Org content rights.
dumbfounded. Everything was falling to pieces.
After that, having no time to care about anything, she ran directly to her house.
He was breathing really hard.
The fire was blazing forward, and Quill could smell something burning. His pupils suddenly shrank. He had not moved an inch, but now, he started to
move.
His breathing was very rapid, and his sweat dripped down along his forehead. Whether it was the air or the temperature around him, they were all rising rapidly. In front of his eyes was a fire, a crowd, and endless darkness.
It seemed that someone was constantly shouting, but no one could hear her.
After Quill knocked open the door. The first thought he had was to come in and save Vera. He couldn't let her die in this fire, and he couldn't let her encounter any danger.
Thus, he ran in and stood there. What happened in the past appeared before his eyes again.
Those memories caused him to
stand still. He could not move his arms and legs. However, when he thought about Vera who was waiting for him to rescue her, her helplessness in this fire was similar to what happened to him when he lost his father. He knew that he had to overcome this obstacle.
Thick smoke billowed in the air. Quill covered his mouth and nose, his eyes searching for Vera in the room.
"What's going on?"
Phoebe, who had rushed over in a hurry, ran to the door and shouted, "This is my house. Why is it on fire? Haward, Quill!"
After that, she rushed in but someone stopped her after a few steps.
"Madam, the fire is too big. You can't get in."
"Why are you not letting me enter my own house? This is my home. Let go of me!"
Phoebe was usually a gentle and reasonable woman, but in this life-and-death situation, she lost her rationality.
"Madam, we understand your feelings very well, but now, this place has been surrounded by fire. Please calm down. We have professionals to help us out. Please wait nearby, alright?"
She had more to say, but a soft voice came from below, on her left side.
"Mom."
Phoebe lowered her head and saw Quill standing at her feet. She was stunned for a moment. Then she saw his bloody hand, and immediately, tears began to fall.
"Quill, what happened to you? Why is your hand so badly injured?"
She embraced him and wanted to pull his hand to check it, but she didn't know how to do so because she was afraid that he would feel pain when she touched his hand.
"Mom." His eyes were a little red, but he held back his tears and added, "Dad is still in there. Uncle took some people in to save him. Mom, Dad will be fine, right?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of astonishment flashed across Phoebe's eyes. She turned back and looked at the soaring fire behind her. Her body began
to tremble slightly.
"Yes, he will be fine!"
