Chapter 698 - Mommy Won’t Leave (2/2)

He was afraid it would be like this. Yet, it turned out to be true.

Xia Ruoxin was choked to the point where she kept coughing. There was endless crying from her surroundings. Suddenly, someone shouted that the fire brigade was coming.

Suddenly, Xia Ruoxin thought of something. She held her daughter tightly. When she experienced this life-and-death situation, she suddenly thought through and understood whatever she did not before.

“Chu Lui,” she held her phone tight.

“I forgive you, really.”

When she wanted to continue, someone knocked her phone to the floor; and someone else squeezed in and stepped on it. She could only hug her daughter and hide away from the crowd that had gone nuts. In the end, she was squeezed to the back because she had to protect her daughter. The window not faraway was finally broken in, and people kept coming down from above. There were shouts everywhere, but the death aura coming from the inside was thickening. People were becoming more anxious about their desire to survive. The anxiety to be saved and survive.

She almost could not squeeze to the front, and the fire behind was about to reach them. The smoke was hurting their throats, and the people in front were rapidly decreasing. Xia Ruoxin looked at the shattered phone not far away, and there was a complicated gaze in her eyes.

She did not know if he heard what she said, and she did not know if she could say it again. However, she did not know if she had the courage to say it again if it happened.

It took a lot of courage to apologize… but even more to forgive.

When it was her turn, the firemen looked into her eyes; and his were filled with pity and apologies. The human structure on the ambulance was filled with people, and there was no space for another one.

“Boss, there’s one more, but we’re at maximum capacity,” one of the firefighters said over his walkie-talkie.

“What do we do now? I’m not sure if we can take the extra load.”

“I understand. I’ll explain it to her,” The firefighter said as he looked towards Xia Ruoxin with pity.

“I’m sorry, please don’t worry.” They finally said, “We’ll be right back. You’ll be fine.”

Xia Ruoxin eyed the ever-increasing flames behind her. She hugged her daughter tightly; the discomfort in her nose was more unbearable than the pain in her throat.

“Don’t worry, I’m sorry.”

How could they apologize? How could they not worry when their mortality was concerned?

She lowered her head and looked at Rainy who was unhurt.

Then, she passed her daughter forward. “My daughter’s still young. Please bring her down. She’s really light. She doesn’t weigh much.”

The firefighter instinctively reached out and took her child over.

“Mommy…” Rainy suddenly refused to let go of her mother’s clothes as if she had sensed something. She then began to cry out loud.

“Mommy, not leaving. Mommy, don’t leave.”

Xia Ruoxin resolved herself as she pried her daughter’s hands away and turned without looking back.
