Chapter 656


    The visibility inside the apartment was very poor due t o the ferocity of the fire. Avoiding the mes, she


    fumbled her way through the smog.


    Although there were ces that remained unscorched, her feet were still asionally scalded by the


    vivacious mes; it was hot and painful.


    It was very tough to navigate through the fire, and the smoke fumed so heavily that it made her dizzy.


    Every step wasborious. The door of the rightmost room had already burnt down when she arrived.


    The mes were spreading close to the bed.


    But he was still lying unconsciously in bed.


    Summer was horrified when she saw what was before her. She could not picture what might have


    happened t o him if she had arrivedter.


    She removed the IV and used all her strength to help him toward the door. He was very heavy, and all


    his weight pressed hard against her.


    She covered his and her nostrils with a long towel, each of them sharing one-half of it.


    Perhaps it was the chill of the towel or the heat of the fire that made Mark open his eyes slowly, and


    right before him was an inferno.


    "You''re awake? The ce is on fire; we need to get out quickly. Follow my lead as your body is weak,"


    said Summer.


    In fact, Summer had not much energy left. She was simply holding on to her final breath.


    Mark was distressed at her gloomy appearance. In a weak voice, he uttered, "If you can''t bring me out,

    please leave me alone. Charlotte is waiting for you..."


    "I will surely get you out..." she gritted her teeth and braved through despite her burns and scalding.


    "You''re so stubborn...'''' he said gently and removed his weight on her as he staggered along.


    It was impossible to escape through the main door. The only way out was the window.


    It would be unbelievable to say that Summer wasn''t terrified. He was awake, and since she could hear


    his voice, she became calm because she knew she had someone to rely on.


    They paced forward very slowly. Because of his condition and the burns on her legs, they could not


    move quickly.


    The vision in the room was blurry, and nothing was visible. Mark''s throat rumbled as he staggered in


    pain and difficulty. But when he saw her frail but unbending figure, he was filled with inexplicable


    affection.


    When he raised his head, his smile stiffened; his


    handsome face was rmed, and his eyes furrowed-


    "Watch out!" he cried out.


    "What?" Summer was puzzled.


    No matter how much she tried, he didn''t respond. The blood on his forehead kept flowing out, and it


    hurt her very much.


    She gritted her teeth and crouched on the floor; then, she hauled him up with all her might, and her


    tears poured out uncontrobly like a broken dam.


    Nobody knew how much effort or willpower she had exhausted, but it was her determination that


    carried him to the window.


    One could only realize their hidden potential in a time of desperation.


    Through the window, she could see that the rescue team hadid out the jumping cushion. With her


    chest throbbing heavily, she hugged his waist and threw themselves out of the window...
