536 Fox Gives Itself Away

Peter looked Susan up and down, and just as he was about to speak, her eyes were filled with tears. “Peter, do you suspect me too? We’ve been together for two years. Can’t you trust me? I saved your life back then. I almost died for you, and still, you don’t trust me!”

Her eyes welled up with grievance.

Peter immediately gave in. “I didn’t mean it. Please don’t cry…

Adversity revealed true feelings.

When the South residence caught fire, Ellis charged into the blaze. The fire spread quickly, and the smoke was thick. He covered his mouth and nose and rushed to Mary’s room on the second floor.

The door was closed. He knocked and shouted from the outside, but it didn’t open.

Eventually, with no other choice, he kicked the door open and burst in to rescue Mary, only to find the room empty.

The sheets and quilt had started to burn, but there was no one there,

Just then, the wardrobe suddenly moved. A door opened, and Mary ran out anxiously, looking at Ellis. “How did you get in here?”

Stunned to see her, Ellis replied, “I came… to rescue
