Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 52

Ian couldn’t believe what he was hearing and held Leah by her hand. “You heard the fireman. It’s a conflagration inside. How are you going to save him?”

Leah pursed her lips, but the expression on her countenance reflected calm as she broke away from Ian’s hold. “Han is still inside. I have to see him for myself even if he’s dead!”

“Just wait a while longer, Sarah. The fire brigade will find a way…” Ian kept persuading her.

Leah, however, ignored him and sprinted right into the building.

“Sarah!” Ian shouted hoarsely from behind her.

Leah rushed into the foyer. The roiling inferno had long spread into the front hall. Thick smoke billowed. She was immediately surrounded by a burning sensation the moment she set foot inside.

“Ack… Cough…”

Leah was choking on the smoke and quickly covered her nose and mouth as she shouted, “Are you in here, Han?!”

There was little on display in the foyer. She could see everything at a glance.

It was just as the fireman had said. There was not a single soul in sight. How could they possibly know where Han was?

Leah’s eyes locked in the direction of the lounge.

If Han hadn’t escaped into the hall, then where he was now was that lounge!

The lounge was where the fire had first started. The moment she set foot inside, a wave of heat hit her. It felt as though her clothes were going to be burned.

Leah could feel how difficult it was to breathe. Her eyes were watering from the heavy smog.

She stood by the entryway. “Are you still alive, Han?”

No one answered her.

Leah hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and rushing into the lounge against the roaring fire.

“Han?” Leah’s voice grew softer and softer.

Her vision was blurry.

Her eyes swept around the lounge and finally settled on the back of the couch!

Han collapsed there!

Leah rushed over and held him in her arms. “Are you okay, Han? You can’t die…” She patted his voice as she murmured in a shaky voice.
