What Separates Me and You

Chapter 127 It Will Be Over Soon

Lily was torn between ensuring her own survival and saving the children. She was still able to remain cool and calm despite the perilous situation she was in right now.

She could escape, but not her children.

However, if Lily didn’t escape right now, she and the children would die in this place. If that were the case, no one would be left to avenge the children.

If Lily had kept a heart of ice, she could have escaped.

Unfortunately, she had to possess immense mental fortitude and a ruthless personality to watch her children perish in flames.

Lily took a deep breath, resulting in her choking on a lungful of thick smoke. She started coughing violently on the spot.

At the same time, she clenched her fists tightly, a streak of cruelty and decisiveness flashing past her eyes. Then, she scrambled to her feet and ran out of the burning building.

“Mommy!”

“Mommy, save me! It hurts a lot!”

When Lily reached the exit, she paused in her tracks before turning around stiffly to look behind her.

She could see the two children screaming and crying hysterically amidst the thick smoke. They were both calling out to her desperately in an attempt to awaken what little maternal love she had within her.

Lily could only grip the doorframe tightly. It was scorching hot to the point that her hand started sizzling loudly, but she didn’t even register the pain.

“Mommy…”

“Mommy, are you abandoning us?”

The children’s breathing started slowing down. Their voices had grown so weak to the point where the roaring flames were louder than their cries for help.

Lily found herself torn between the selfish desire to survive and the torment of her maternal love. She yearned for her own life, yet she also longed for her children’s survival.

All she needed was to take one more step. Then, she would be able to escape from the inferno once and for all.

However, if she were to return to her children, she wouldn’t be able to leave at all.

Just as Lily was engulfed by despair, she looked down only to see two keys sitting in front of the doorway, which was quite ironic.

Those keys resembled gifts from the universe-they helped Lily make the ultimate choice and emerge triumphant in the battle against her rationality.

Lily was no longer hesitant. She bent down to pick up the keys before turning on her heel and rushing into the flames.
