Chapter 150


    The firefighters nced at one another and back at the parents. They understood how important their


    children meant to them. One of the firefighters stood out and said, “Captain, let us in! It’s my job to


    bring every person to safety and I’d feel better of myself even if I could only save only one child!” The


    captain’s eyes were scarlet as he shouted, “It is themander’s order for all of you to stay put! Now,


    help me stop these parents from rushing in. I will not allow any of them to risk their lives like this!” The


    firefighter was indignant. “Captain!


    There are approximately a dozen lives stuck up there. Besides, they’re kids! How could you be so cold-


    hearted?” The captain replied emotionlessly, “You’re right. I am cold-hearted. That’s why I didn’t allow


    you to enter the building.” “What do you mean?” the firefighter asked. The captain wore his helmet and


    answered, “Don’t you get it? I’ve been here all this while and I didn’t enter the building. So if the


    commander asks, you know what to say. Got it?” The firefighter’s eyes were instantly filled with tears,


    “Captain, are nning to go on your own?”

    “The building’s about to copse any time and I can’t watch you risk your lives. So, I’ve decided that if


    death was going to take someone away today, it’d be me. Standby, everyone! I’m going to the toilet!”


    Then, he rushed into the building as he said those words. On the other hand, Arielle waspletely


    exhausted. She was merely ten meters away from the hall, yet she couldn’t move another inch. Her


    breathing had be very difficult for she had inhaled too much smoke. Consequently, her vision


    started to blur. She knew she was at her limit. Then, her feet gave away as she fell forward. However,


    she instinctively rolled over as she knew she had carried two children in her arms.


    Her head was first toe into contact with the ground as she fell. “Miss!” The older children rushed to


    her side. “I can’t take another step. So, could you please take these kids to their mothers? Just walk


    another ten meters and you’ll see the door. Your moms are waiting for you there,” Arielle croaked. A


    few children shook their heads and cried, “No, I want you to go with us…” A child even tried to help her


    to her feet.


    Nheless, the child had very little strength to support Arielle’s weight. So, she fell to the ground once


    more. She shook her head and said weakly, “There’s no time left. You go first and call for help. Alright?”


    The children nodded, teary-eyed as they grabbed the two babies from Arielle and rushed towards the


    exit. Arielle exhausted herst bit of energy to watch them run out of the door and sighed in relief. She


    was relieved that the children were away from danger, but her vision had worsened at the same time.


    She could not help herself but gave away to darkness as her eyes closed.


    Before she lost consciousness, she vaguely saw a man in a fire-fighting suit rushing towards her. “Miss,


    can you hear me? Wake up!” Arielle did not respond to the captain’s words but he noticed she was still


    breathing. Hence, he immediately carried Arielle on his back and made their way out.


    Running while carrying someone on their backs was an easy task due to their years of training. Thus,


    both he and Arielle got out of the building in no time. The children had finally reunited with their parents,


    and the sound of crying was heard. Iris rushed to Arielle’s side and cried, “Ms. Sannie, is she alright? Is


    she still alive?” “Yes, she’s alive! Water! I need water over here!”
