Her Precious Baby

The scrawny child was sprawled out on a stone bed, on the verge of death.

He had injuries all over his face and body. His lips were so dry that the skin was falling off, and there were even traces of wet blood on them.

Even Jonathan wasn’t having any of it. He furrowed his brows deeply and spat angrily, “All of them are monsters! Don’t they know that neglecting a child is illegal?”

“I’m going to sue them!” Angeline exclaimed agitatedly, hatred burning strongly in her eyes.

“We can talk about that later. Hold on to my phone for me. I’ll carry the child out of here.”

Angeline took the phone from Jonathan. However, she suddenly noticed that the burning smell she had detected earlier was getting stronger.

Before she could tell Jonathan about it, a woman’s scream could be heard from the neighboring house.

“Help! Fire! Someone, please help!”

Angeline turned to look and saw the large house go up in flames. The fire was burning so intensely that the crackling sound echoed through the night.

“Ahh! Help!”

The alcoholic father and his wife ran out of the house haphazardly without even getting dressed properly.

The raging fire was spreading very quickly, and it didn’t take long for the furniture in the living room to fall victim to it. There was a loud boom, and a wooden beam crashed through the roof.

Angeline was scared out of her wits, and tears streamed down her face.

“Why is this happening? Why did a fire suddenly break out?”

“There’s no time to think about that! Let’s get out of here!”

Feeling that there was imminent danger, Jonathan immediately grabbed Angeline’s hand. They bent down, avoiding the areas where the fire was burning, and managed to escape in the nick of time.
