Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Therefore, she steeled herself and climbed onto Xavier’s back. She put her arms around the man’s neck, held on tightly and thanked him. “Okay, I’ll leave my life and my babies’ lives in your hands!”
Xavier took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure we all get out of here safe and sound!”
Xavier climbed out of the window with Flossie on his back.
Due to the weight he was carrying, every step he took was careful and laborious. His arms needed a lot of strength just to hold on…
Smoke billowed and flames raged, “pursuing” them like the Grim Reaper.
Xavier moved down one step at a time. Sweat dripped down his face like rain, wetting his clothes. Bulging veins could be seen on his handsome face that was flushed red from using too much force. He was obviously having a really difficult time and was rapidly running out of stamina.
They were now between the first floor and the second floor. The blazing fire was above them and the hard ground was below them.
Xavier could have just jumped down if it wasn’t for Flossie. However, with Flossie on his back, he could only descend step by step, which meant that they were escaping rather slowly.
They were stuck in the middle at the moment, unable to move up or down. They did not know what to do.
Flossie was touched and felt bad for Xavier, so she said while choking back tears, “ Xavier, if you can’t hang on anymore, just jump down. That way… at least one of us will survive! ”
“Nonsense!”
Xavier’s voice was hoarse. He said with much difficulty, “If you know I’m having a hard time, stop being annoying. It’ll be over soon!”
He looked around and finally found a foothold, but he no longer had any strength left. He told Flossie through gritted teeth, “Listen, I’ll put you on the air-con box. You should be able to climb down from there…”
“But what about you? The air-con box can only fit one person. If you put me over there, would you have any foothold?”
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be right behind you!”
“But…”
“No buts. You’re too heavy, I can’t hang on any longer. Go!”
Xavier shouted impatiently.
Then, using his body like a bridge, he transferred Flossie to the nearby air-con box.
Flossie stopped hesitating. She grabbed the box and carefully climbed down from it.
At a crucial moment like this, every second was valuable. The earlier she reached the ground, the higher their chances of living…
Normally, climbing down from this height was a trifle for a healthy and agile woman like her.
But now, she had to be mindful of the children in her belly, so she had to move carefully. She did not dare to perform any big movement.
“I did it! I did it!”
After some struggle, Flossie finally succeeded in reaching the ground.
Although some parts of the ground were also burning, it was an open space, so it was much less dangerous here than it was indoors.
“Great, I’ll be right there!”
Xavier also heaved a sigh of relief. He adjusted his position, preparing to jump down.
Unfortunately, the fire was so strong that it destroyed the air-con box.
Before Xavier could jump off, his body was already burned by the fire. He fell to the ground together with the box.
“Shit!”
Xavier’s foot was broken, smashed by the air-con box. He could not move it at all.
Flossie quickly went over to support him, “It’s okay, let’s get out of here!”
“Don’t worry about me. The fire is spreading too quickly. You have to run away by yourself!”
“Shut up!”
Flossie lifted him up with much difficulty and they staggered through the flames.
“You stupid woman, let me go! I don’t need a woman to save me! It’s… embarrassing!”
The thicker the smoke, the weaker Xavier became.
In his blurry vision, Flossie’s thin and petite body seemed so determined and strong. It made his heart flutter.
“Give it up, Xavier! I won’t leave you behind, just like you wouldn’t leave me behind earlier! I’ll definitely save you!”
With Flossie’s fierce voice still ringing in his ears, Xavier passed out…
Flossie dragged the unconscious Xavier through the raging fire and managed to escape with much difficulty.
She was completely exhausted. She lay on the ground with Xavier, panting heavily.
She looked up at the blue sky with the cool wind brushing against her skin. Life had never felt so valuable to Flossie!
A fire engine approached the scene. A team of firemen got out and prepared the equipment to put out the fire.
“How are you doing?”
Paramedics dressed in white carried a stretcher towards Flossie and Xavier.
Flossie quickly got up and said, distressed, “I’m fine. Please help him. His leg is broken and he needs immediate treatment!”
“He got injured trying to save me. You have to save him no matter what. Please…”
Flossie grabbed the paramedic’s arm and cried.
She had just examined Xavier a bit and could tell how severely hurt he was. She could clearly feel the dislocation of his right calf bone.
If he became a cripple, she would never be able to forgive herself.
“Don’t worry, we’ll do our best to save him.”
The paramedic comforted Flossie and carried Xavier, who had passed out, onto the ambulance.
At first, Flossie wanted to hop on too, but when she looked back, she saw her home that had been burned to pieces, and it pained her immensely.
She suddenly recalled something, and her small face went taut. Without saying a word, she tried to rush into the sea of fire.
“What are you doing, ma’am? It’s too dangerous. Please stay away from the fire!”
A firefighter stepped forward to stop her.
