169 Not Competent Enough to Be His Mother
The very moment he said those words, the fire immediately became bigger.
Anna knew that she didn‘t have time to think, so she rushed in regardless of risking her life.
The man standing at the door tried to stop her, but failed. “Miss Gabriel! It‘s dangerous in there!” He shouted.
The kitchen was filled with thick smoke. Anna walked in as she shouted, “Tammy! Where are you?”
The place was a mess with pots and pans all over the floor. The first place that caught fire was the storage room. Then, the fire spread to the table between the two rows of stoves. It was
so smoky that Anna was choking and coughing.
Anna saw a girl in a pink dress lying in the corner through the fire and smoke. Then, Anna immediately rushed toward her. She wrapped Tammy firmly in her jacket, picked her up and ran toward the outside
At this time, the fire grew bigger as if it suddenly jumped up. The flames were extremely fierce and Anna felt a burning and tingling sensation on her face.
The moment Anna ran out of the kitchen, she felt like she had come back from hell. Then, she could hear those people all talking to her.
“They‘re here! Oh, thank God!” “Miss Gabriel, the ambulance has arrived.”
Anna hugged Tammy tightly. Then, she saw the waiter in the crowd pointing at the ambulance. She immediately ran outside and didn‘t even have the chance to talk to anyone of them.
Just as she was leaving, she saw a woman she knew standing in the crowd. This woman looked terrified. She was nervous and cowering, unlike how calm and dominant she usually

He reassured Anna when he saw her, “Don‘t worry, she‘s not hurt. She‘ll be fine if she stays in the hospital for a few days.”
Anna breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully, “Oh! That‘s fantastic. Thank you, doctor!”
“It‘s okay. She‘s awake, so you can get in now.” “Great, thanks!”
Anna immediately walked into the emergency room and opened the curtain next to the bed. Then, she saw Tammy lying in a white sheet.
Tammy‘s body was wrapped in the covers, so Anna could only see her face. She had ash all over her face and was looking at Anna with a bewildered expression.
“Mommy!” Tammy said. Her eyes became lucid a little after she saw Anna. However, her voice was very hoarse. As soon as she spoke, she coughed.
“Baby, I‘m here. The doctor said you need to rest. If you feel uncomfortable, then don‘t talk.” Anna immediately sat down on the edge of the bed and took Tammy‘s hand in hers.
Tammy nodded and glanced behind Anna. Then, after a moment of hesitation, she said in a low voice with difficulty, “Where‘s Matthew?”
Hearing her words, Tammy‘s eyes suddenly widened. She looked as if she was going to say something, but started to cough violently.
Hearing that, Anna felt her heart beat faster immediately. She asked anxiously, “Huh? What did you say? Where is Matthew? Is he in the kitchen?”
