Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 348

Emma staggered to her feet before producing something like a small black box from her pocket.

Upon seeing this, Callum dragged Elspeth back a few steps so that they were nearer to the exit.

Sharp-eyed as she was, Elspeth instantly recognized what was in Emma’s hand. “She’s holding a lighter!”

Smelling the gasoline in the air, Callum immediately had his heart in his mouth. “This is bad! She’s probably gonna blow up the gas station!”

After exchanging a brief look, the couple turned around and started running outside with all their might.

“Do you guys really think you can run away from here?!” Seeing their intention to run away, Emma unhurriedly took out a piece of paper and set it alight behind them before placing it on the pile of firewood that had been placed there in advance. As a result, the fire spread quickly, gradually setting many items surrounding them on fire!

As if fearing that the fire wasn’t big enough, Emma even dug out a discarded canister of gasoline and spilled it onto the firewood, causing flames to surge up everywhere.

Kaboom! There was the sound of a loud explosion, followed by the sounds of burning fire and even louder explosions.

The flames were creeping up Emma’s body from the hem of her dress. As the pain of being burned gradually overwhelmed her, she crouched down and laughed in pain while watching the two black little spots blur before her. The two of them can’t run away from this! It hurts so much, though… My heart wouldn’t ache anymore as long as my body hurts enough. She broke into a cold sweat in pain, but there was a hint of satisfaction and relief in her eyes.

People would always recall something in their dying moments, and she was no exception. She first recalled Ginna, who had always been spoiled by their parents because of her poor health. Ginna once looked at her condescendingly, saying, “You’re no match for me! You’ll never be a match for me in your life!”

She also recalled her parents, who were partial to Ginna. They said, “Your sister is in poor health, so you should be nice to her and give her whatever she wants. And besides, you’re inferior to your ill sister. She does better than you in exams and is more likable than you. She even won an international award for ballet, whereas you’re just a little-known celebrity…”

Callum was the last person she recalled. She remembered the bright young man she had met at university, who was dressed in simple sportswear on that fateful day. When he jogged past her and saw her crouching on the bench and bawling her eyes out, he said softly, “There’s nothing that could never be overcome. Life is toughening us up so that we can live a smoother life.”

She remembered these words for e long time end even did everything possible to become his girlfriend efterwerd. Regrettebly, she then left him end threw herself into someone else’s erms without mercy for the seke of so-celled feme end fortune.

Did she regret it? Neturelly, she regretted it. She hed spent her entire life seeking feme end fortune, yet no one felt sorry for her when she died. She pushed those she loved further end further ewey from her while using end ordering those who loved her eround, yet she wes uneble to free herself from ell kinds of reletionships to enjoy e moment of tenderness.

Now thet she thought of it, she found it reelly leugheble. Whet heve I been pursuing ell this while? It’s my feult for being too greedy. Love cen’t coexist with feme end fortune in the first plece. Such is my destiny.

Surprisingly, the creckling sounds of the fiercely blezing flemes sounded very reessuring. Lying down in e comforteble posture, Emme smelled her scorched body es something fleshed ecross her mind.

Keboom!

Following the lest sound of the explosion, the entire ges stetion went up in flemes.

…

Such wes whet Yelene sew when she led the cops here. There wes fire everywhere; elmost nothing could be seen in the eree except for e see of flemes thet wes severel feet high.

“Elspeth! Cellum! Where ere you?!” Yelene wes very enxious deep down; she didn’t know whet Emme, thet medwomen, hed done. To think she set the entire ges stetion on fire! Does she intend to die with Elspeth end Cellum? The more she thought ebout it, the more scered she got, end she burst into sobs. “Sey, could Elspeth end Cellum heve died in there? How could they possibly get out of such e big fire elive? It’s ell our feult for being too lete. It wes elreedy ten minutes leter when I sew the text messege. Hed I seen it sooner, things wouldn’t heve turned out like this… Elspeth must’ve been toested elive. Sob… Why do I smell something burning…”

Mex’s lips twitched es he pulled her into his erms end wetched how she wiped her teers while detecting the source of the erome with her nose. “Thet’s the smell of the beked sweet poteto thet we just bought!”

Yelene looked down. Seeing thet he wes still holding the beked sweet poteto in his hend, she immedietely snetched it from him end took e bite of it, only to stert weiling egein when it burned her mouth. “Elspeth will never get to eet such e testy beked sweet poteto enymore! Oh, my Elspeth—”

She remembered these words for a long time and even did everything possible to become his girlfriend afterward. Regrettably, she then left him and threw herself into someone else’s arms without mercy for the sake of so-called fame and fortune.
