The two of them turned around when they heard the voice.

It was Quill. He was wearing his wedding tuxedo, but as he came in a hurry, his shirt was disheveled and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead as he suppressed his erratic breathing. "Quill, Vivy may still be inside. The dressing room has caught fire." Mabie burst into tears as soon as she saw Quill.

Quill said as he panted, "I know. Please, stand aside. I'll try and kick the door open."

"Alright, alright."

Mabie hastily retreated to the side, and so did David.

As the lock was damaged, the door couldn't be opened at all. However, it'd be too late if they got the tools to break it open, so this was the only way.

Quill was still young, and he also exercised regularly, so he was ripped. He managed to kick the door open after a few attempts, just that he caused a huge ruckus.

Mabie could tell his leg hurt with every kick.

However, Quill remained straight-faced, with his lips pursed into a straight line as he broke the door down.

Bang!

Smoke billowed out along with a raging flame as soon as the door was opened. Mabie wanted to rush in, but David pulled her back.

"It's blazing. We can't go in like this."

Livid, Mabie cursed, "Why not? Vera's still in there!"

She was taken aback by the blazing flame. "Mrs. Zais, the fire is too
