Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 42

It was a summer, and the building was made of wood, so the fire spread quite quickly. When Jensen wanted to rush in, the fire was very strong. Eric pulled Jensen's arm when Jensen made an attempt. He told Jensen that he had called the police and they'd better wait for the fire truck. Eric said he was not a professional and would only endanger himself.

"That's your girlfriend!"

Hearing that, Jensen angrily shouted at Eric.

Perhaps Eric realized his errors. He went in with Jensen. However, the roof collapsed and they were pinned down. The fallen beam was a bit heavy. Rae ran in from the outside. Then he knew that Rae was not in the building. The situation was very bad. Jensen did not expect that she would save him. But Rae just hesitated for a few second and soon decided to save Eric. Even though his clothes are burned and Eric was not at that time,…

He asked for help, but she ignored him.

Jensen could feel the pains in his burned skin every time he closed his eyes. He couldn't find any words to describe that feeling. He felt more painful that he was abandoned by her without more hesitation no matter how nice he was with her. To her, the man who was absent when she was in need was the most important.

Why?

The more he paid, the more he should get, right?

He loved her so badly. Why could she make a decision so quickly? He was at risk. Did it mean that he was nothing to her? If he didn't survive, she must be living happily with Eric. He seemed to ruin her life plan.

Why did he still take good care of such a bad woman? He shouldn't be so nice to her. After all, she had abandoned him. He should have punished her, tortured her and let her experience the same pain. Perhaps he could make her happy and then made her life miserable, so the pains could be more impressed…

(No, he loved Rae. How could he have such a dirty idea? She didn't require him to be nice with her. How could he ask anything in return? She was just a little girl then. The situation was urgent. She had to make a decision quickly. She did not do anything wrong…)

But why didn't she choose to save him…

(She should choose Eric because Eric was her boyfriend.)

It was true. However, why didn't she hesitate for moments to make a decision? His life was so worthless?

Jensen felt the haunting pains as if he had been torn apart. He didn't want to think about it.

Pills, he needed to take pills!

No, he was not at home now. He had to hang in. Zain was here. If that crafty man found out his problem…

But he felt so uncomfortable…

He wanted to take pills!

His mind was in a turmoil as if two parties were arguing with each other in his mind. He was very agitated, wanted to kill them but failed. He raised his hand to hold his head. He was suffering as though some invisible hand was tearing him apart. One asked him to be generous and the other party asked him to revenge.

Only could pills save him.

"Mr Knight!" The assistant was anxious and didn't know what happened to Jensen. Why did he stare at the fire? If he stayed here all the time, he may be suffocated. The assistant saw Mr Knight hold his head and thought Mr Knight felt uncomfortable because of the dense smoke. Seeing the situation was so bad, the assistant pulled Mr Knight out without hesitation.

The corridor was safer.

There was only a whiff of smoke and the fire didn't spread here. When he stepped out of the hall, he no longer felt pressured and came to his senses. When he thought about his evil thoughts, he just wanted to go back and read the Bible more times. Jensen realized that he had revealed his weakness, since Zain was staring at him…

Jensen chose to leave.

He went to the bathroom and propped his hands on the sink. He regretted what he had behaved. He had so many enemies now and the relations between him and Zain were very tense. He could not have any more trouble. Otherwise, he could not maintain the balance in the present chaotic state. However, Zain would not let go of him so easily if Zain found his weakness… Thinking of that, Jensen felt irritable. He kicked the hard washbasin with great force!

He felt so annoyed that he even ignored the pains on his foot.
