Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 13

For the sake of staying alive, Meredith used all the strength left in her to get up from the floor, but no matter how much she tried, she remained on the floor.

Just when she was about to give up on all hope, she heard someone opening the door, followed by Qira’s anxious voice. “Edith, don’t worry! I’m here to save you!”

“Qira…I’m here…” Meredith cried as she was relieved. “Hurry up…go get help!”

Qira though did not leave Meredith alone, instead, she barged into the woodshed that was burning.

“No…don’t come in!” Meredith yelled.

“Edith, I’m here to save you and the baby,” said Qira, who was clueless. As Qira was mentally unstable, she did not have any idea of how dangerous the situation was.

By the time she appeared in front of Meredith, Qira was gasping for air due to the heavy smoke.

However, she still tried her best to pull Meredith who was lying on the floor.

“Qira, I can’t hold it any longer…my stomach is really painful, go please, leave me and save yourself…”

“No! I have to save you and the baby, I…I must…save you and the baby!”

With Qira’s support, Meredith finally got up on her feet. Holding on to each other, Qira and Meredith dragged themselves toward the front door.

Just when Meredith stepped out from the woodshed, she suddenly realized that Qira was not by her side.

A huge wood log had fallen and blocked Qira’s path, and Qira had dropped onto the floor.

“Qira!” Meredith shouted as she ran back into the woodshed anxiously.

However, Meredith was already weak and injured to the extent that she was not able to support herself anymore, let alone saving Qira.

With the fire and smoke spreading rampantly, Meredith fell onto the ground and her face landed on a wood that was burning.

“Ah – !” Meredith shrieked in pain.

She almost passed out from the amount of pain she felt. However, she continued dragging herself across the floor to save Qira.

All she could think of was saving Qira.

People at the front yard finally noticed a fire had broken out and the staff had rushed over to the scene.

Meredith was dragged out of the woodshed.

“Let me go! Let me go…” cried Meredith as she struggled and wept, “Qira is still inside, I need to save her…I have to save her…”

“You crazy woman! Can’t you see that the woodshed is already covered in flames?” A staff member who was holding her back scolded.

Meredith of course noticed how the fire had swallowed the entire woodshed.

She also saw how Qira was slowly being swallowed by the raging fire.

Qira was still in the woodshed.

“Qira – !” Meredith shouted out in despair.

She then finally passed out.

Meredith passed out because of devastation but woke up in an agonizing pain.

The burning pain on her face and the excruciating pain in her stomach was nothing compared to the pain she was feeling in her heart.
