Angelia had just walked outside when she started hearing many loud noises.
“I heard there was a fire?”
“Yes, there was a big fire!”
“So scary; many of the children were unharmed right?”
“Such a respectable orphanage, how could it have been set on fire?”
When Angelia heard all these comments she stopped moving and turned around.
Right now she was in the western suburbs and that meant that the Sunshine Orphanage was not far away!
“Where did you say the fire was?”
“At the Orphanage.”
Angelia followed the direction of where she was pointing to and her face then immediately turned pale.
In the direction of the Sunshine Orphanage a big fire was blazing into the sky.
Angelia shook all over and then hurried into the direction of the orphanage.
As she ran over there she also saw many people all looking in the same direction.
Some people were worrying about the people who were either dead or injured and some people were worrying about if they were able to put out the fire.
However none of what they were saying entered clearly into her ears.
She didn’t even know where the things that she was holding dropped anymore as she kept on running as fast as she could.
There were many people surrounding the Sunshine Orphanage and before she was even close to it she could feel how vigorous the flames were.
The intensity of the heat hit her face which made her step back as she saw many firefighters trying to put out the fire.
Huge jets of water hit the walls of the orphanage; however the water was no match for the intensity of the fire.
Even though several water pipes were operating at the same time they were still not even able to reduce the fire to half the amount.
Angelia rushed over and grabbed the people who were watching the commotion.
“What happened to the people inside? Were they managed to be saved? Have the 23 children, the headmaster and the employees all been rescued?
The person shook their head.
“I don’t know, I heard that the fire was developing very quickly, and it enveloped the orphanage almost instantly. The people inside..."
When Angelia heard this she was so shocked and felt extremely cold suddenly.
Then at this moment another person explained, “They were rescued! I saw them just now take the children to hospital.”
Angelia quickly turned her head and looked at the person who was speaking.
Her mood immediately changed from sadness to a feeling of hope.
“They were all saved?”
The person nodded their head then sighed rather sorrowfully.
“It really was a shame that the fire blazed so intensely like that, so when the fire brigade finally arrived the fire had already engulfed the whole building. The children were all carried out by the headmaster one by one, however in the end…”
As she got halfway through her sentence she shook her head.
“It’s such a tragedy.”
Angelia felt as if she had been struck by lightning and even couldn’t stand up straight.
“The headmaster never came out… the headmaster never came back out…”
The expression on her face completely changed and she rushed towards the orphanage building.
“Headmaster! Headmaster!”
She was screaming this as she tried to rush inside.
Right now the flames were rising to the sky and as she tried to rush inside she was blocked by a fireman.
“Miss, you are not allowed to do this. We are still trying to put out the fire!”
Angelia pulled at him.
“The headmaster is still inside! The headmaster of the orphanage!”
Angelia kept on struggling however was firmly blocked by the fireman.
She was brought up by the headmaster since she was a small child, and has always regarded the headmaster as her only relative.
She originally planned to stay in the orphanage and renovate it later to accept more children.
However now this could never be completed, just…
Tears kept pouring out of her eyes and before they hit the ground, they were dried by the flames.
When Angelia saw the crimson flames in front of her she burst into tears.
“Headmaster…”
