Chapter 169 You’re Not Fit to Be His Mother

The moment he said that, the fire inside the kitchen grew even more violent. Without a second thought, Courtney dashed right in and did not give the people around her a chance to pull her back.

“Miss Hunter!”

Bracing the thick smoke inside, Courtney yelled, “Tina!”

The kitchen was a big mess with pots and pans scattered all over the ground. It looked like the fire first broke out in the storage room and had instantly spread to the food preparation area between the two rows of stoves. All the smoke in the room was making Courtney cough uncontrollably.

Across from the fire, she spotted a pink figure lying in the corner and ran toward it in a heartbeat. Taking off her outer coat, she wrapped Tina in it tightly and carried her out right away.

As the blaze erupted even further, it seemed like it was going to swallow them in its flames. Courtney could only feel her face going numb from the scorching heat.

When she finally stepped out of the kitchen, she felt like she had just escaped death by a whisker.

The voices of people talking all at once outside did not register in her mind.

“They’re out.”

 

“Miss Hunter, the ambulance is here.”

With Tina in her arms, she was too occupied to respond to anyone else and simply followed in the direction one of the attendants was pointing toward the ambulance. As she walked past the crowd, she saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. The person was filled with terror and was cowering in fear—it was unlike the demeanor she was familiar with.

Pressed for time, she did not ponder on it and quickly rushed Tina to the hospital.

After waiting anxiously for some time, the head doctor came out of the emergency room and reassured, “Tina didn’t suffer any serious injuries, but she has inhaled a lot of smoke. We will have to observe her at the hospital for a few days.”

Finally, Courtney was able to let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you, doctor.”
