Chapter 319

“Irene, where are you? Now I heard Faith’s voice come through She was here too?

Did they call me just now because they were already close here?

I couldn’t help but cough. The noise outside was getting louder, someone probably came to put out the fire

Bailey handed me a wet cloth. “Ms. Finch, cover your nose and mouth with this. Help is on the way. We’ll be fine!”

I nodded and looked at the Morses and saw their faces filled with panic. They just lost their son, and now this? If they got hurt, I would never forgive myself.

I felt awful. If I hadn’t come here, they wouldn’t be in this mess. Clearly, someone was out to get me and hurt the Morses as well.

“Crack!”

A sharp noise came from above. I looked up to see the old beams, already a bit worn, beginning to loosen with the spreading fire.

This was the closest I’d ever been to death, but I tried to stay calm. I could hear the fire truck sirens in the distance. If we could hold on a little longer, we might be saved.

But the Morses’ house was too old to withstand this for long. When the beams finally gave way. I heard Mia scream, and I leaped towards her without thinking.

Maybe it was guilt, but I was willing to do anything to protect Oscar’s parents.

I felt a heavy weight hit my back, followed by a searing pain. Then I felt water pouring down, putting out the fire on my back.

“Irene!” Neil’s voice rang out, sounding desperate. “Irene, answer me!”

I wanted to reply, but I’d inhaled too much smoke, and my throat was in agony. It was hard to speak.
