For a brief moment, Brandon thought he would die there. He had seen his life flash before his eyes.
Fortunately, he was nowhere near the origin of the fire, so he had time to orient himself.
After looking around, he found a back door and was able to escape. He threw his arms around Natalie and hugged her tight, burying his face in her hair, inhaling her scent.
When Brandon looked at her again, his eyes shone like stars.
“I don’t know either. Anyway, the important thing is you’re fine.” In fact, even he himself was unable to answer this question. Why did he rush back into the fire?
As soon as Brandon found out that the fire had started in the same area where Natalie was, he feared for her life. At that moment, he wasn’t thinking. It was as if his body had a mind of its own. Before he knew what was happening, he was already running to the place where he and Natalie parted ways. He had no idea why his body was reacting that way. It was as if sheer instinct dictated that he had to protect Natalie from harm.
“Help me up.” Taking a deep breath, Brandon put his arm around Natalie’s shoulder and prepared to stand.
Natalie helped him up gently, wiping her tears. She asked, “Why didn’t you answer the phone? I was so anxious that I almost rushed back to the fire to look for you.”
Brandon pulled a charred phone out of his pocket. There was a big hole in its screen. “My phone burned in the fire, so I didn’t even get your call. I couldn’t find you anywhere, and the fire was still spreading, so I had no choice but to try first.”
Brandon reached up and pinched Natalie’s cheek with love. The latter could not help but pout like an upset child.
Only then did he regret the up and down look.
“Are you hurt somewhere?”
