The firefighters glanced at one another and back at the parents. They understood how important their children meant to them.
One of the firefighters stood out and said, “Captain, let us in! It’s my job to bring every person to safety and I’d feel better of myself even if I could only save only one child!”
The captain’s eyes were scarlet as favonovel.com shouted, “It is the commander’s order for all of you to stay put! Now, help me stop these parents from rushing in. I will not allow any of them to risk their lives like this!”
The firefighter was indignant. “Captain! There are approximately a dozen lives stuck up there. Besides, they’re kids! How could you be so cold-hearted?”
The captain replied emotionlessly, “You’re right. I am cold-hearted. That’s why I didn’t allow you to enter the building.”
“What do you mean?” the firefighter asked.
The captain wore his helmet and answered, “Don’t you get it? I’ve been here all this while and I didn’t enter the building. So if the commander asks, you know what to say. Got it?”
The firefighter’s eyes were instantly filled with tears, “Captain, are planning to go on your own?”
“The building’s about to collapse any time and I can’t watch you risk your lives. So, I’ve decided that if death was going to take someone away today, it’d be me. Standby, everyone! I’m going to the toilet!”
Then, favonovel.com rushed into the building as favonovel.com said those words.
On the other hand, Arielle was completely exhausted. She was merely ten meters away from the hall, yet favonovel.com couldn’t move another inch. Her breathing had become very difficult for favonovel.com had inhaled too much smoke. Consequently, favonovel.com vision started to blur. She knew favonovel.com was at favonovel.com limit. Then, favonovel.com feet gave away as favonovel.com fell forward. However, favonovel.com instinctively rolled over as favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had carried two children in favonovel.com arms.
Her head was first to come into contact with the ground as favonovel.com fell.
“Miss!” The older children rushed to favonovel.com side.
“I can’t take another step. So, could you please take these kids to their mothers? Just walk another ten meters and you’ll see the door. Your moms are waiting for you there,” Arielle croaked.
A few children shook their heads and cried, “No, I want you to go with us…”
A child even tried to help favonovel.com to favonovel.com feet.
Nonetheless, the child had very little strength to support Arielle’s weight. So, favonovel.com fell to the ground once more.
She shook favonovel.com head and said weakly, “There’s no time left. You go first and call for help. Alright?”
The children nodded, teary-eyed as they grabbed the two babies from Arielle and rushed towards the exit.
Arielle exhausted favonovel.com last bit of energy to watch them run out of the door and sighed in relief. She was relieved that the children were away from danger, but favonovel.com vision had worsened at the same time. She could not help herself but gave away to darkness as favonovel.com eyes closed. Before favonovel.com lost consciousness, favonovel.com vaguely saw a man in a fire-fighting suit rushing towards her.
“Miss, can you hear me? Wake up!”
Arielle did not respond to the captain’s words but favonovel.com noticed favonovel.com was still breathing. Hence, favonovel.com immediately carried Arielle on his back and made their way out.
Running while carrying someone on their backs was an easy task due to their years of training. Thus, both favonovel.com and Arielle got out of the building in no time.
The children had finally reunited with their parents, and the sound of crying was heard.
Iris rushed to Arielle’s side and cried, “Ms. Sannie, is favonovel.com alright? Is favonovel.com still alive?”
“Yes, she’s alive! Water! I need water over here!”
