Chapter 654


    ''I need to escape. Whether she lives or dies, does it really matter?''


    Summer stared at her coldly and returned to the room. Yvette was filled with fear and terror. As the fire


    encircled her, the mes on her dress were ready to engulf her.


    In the bedroom, Summer undid the bedsheet and quickly fastened it to the window. As the apartment


    was on the second floor, there was still a way out!


    Because the bedsheet was too short, she fumbled through the closet for another two. After connecting


    them together in tight knots, she flung them out of the window.


    "Ahhh! I''m going to die! I''m really going to die! Mark, Jazz, Mommy is so afraid!" Yvette screamed in


    horror as though she had lost her mind.


    Summer was palpitating; sweat broke out on her forehead and flowed downward like a stream.


    Yvette''s voice echoed as if inside Summer''s head. She tried not to take notice of it, but it kept creeping


    into her auditory canals.


    "Mark, Jazz, Mommy is very scared...” she sobbed while begging for her life.


    Yvette’s cries and screams were very tormenting.


    Summer came out from the room and found her rolling on the floor, crying in distress. The fire was just


    an inch away from her, just a little closer, and she would be burnt to whiskers.


    Summer had never seen anyone struggling before death, and Yvette was the first. She was desperate,


    agonizing, and tussling with death.


    Her arms trembled while she gritted her teeth. ''I want t o save her, but that''s Yvette!’


    ''If it wasn''t her, I would have rushed forward immediately. But...''


    As though impeded by a prison ball, her feet were immobilized as she could not ovee the obstacle


    i n her heart. She turned around and returned to the room again.


    Yvette, who was lying on the floor, stopped screaming. She became very quiet. She was awaiting the


    moment when the fire would consume her like the devil''s reckoning.


    Her eyes were wide open but appeared deste. ''Are all humans left with emptiness, apathy, and


    terror at the brink of their demise?’ Although she didn''t want t o die, she was helpless, and she could


    only leave it all t o fate.


    At that instant, the room became quiet. No more cries were heard. Only the crackling sounds of the


    burning inferno remained as though humming life’s requiem.


    The crackling sounds smashed through her heart when she entered thebedroom. Summer stopped and


    supported herself by the doorframe. She was in a dilemma; her chest thumped heavily, and her face


    reflected the fiery colors of the fire.


    Suddenly, she gritted her teeth as though she hade to a conclusion. She dashed into the bathroom


    and emerged with a pail of water. Then, she rushed out and sshed it onto Yvette.


    Shuddering, Yvette stared at Summer. She had prepared to die but did not expect Summer to save her.


    Yvette’s back was excruciating. She looked at Summer bafflingly and shook her head.


    "Do you want to die? If you are dead, my life would be i n bliss. Are you sure you want me to live


    happily ever after?" Summer uttered indifferently.

    certain Yvette had a tight grip on the bedsheets, Summer kicked her hard on the legs, so hard so that


    they turned feeble, and she slid down.
