Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 322

Chapter 322

Is there bad blood between me and fire? Why do I always get stirred in a fire?

Elspeth let out a silent sigh. Looking at the tranced Edmund, she yanked him over and ran to the fire exit.

She sprinted while observing the fire only to discover that its point of origin was on the third floor. Considering that they were on the fifth floor, their escape was blocked because the fire had spread to the emergency exit, let alone the elevator.

The throngs on the third floor gathered at the emergency exit, but the blazing fire rendered their escape impossible. Frowning, Elspeth headed to the side.

“Where are you going?” A worried Edmund grasped her wrist.

“Are you an idiot? Where can I possibly go? I’m looking for fire extinguishers and water.” She rolled her eyes and glared at him.

“I’m coming with you.”

She shook her head. “No. The fire is too strong. All it takes to lose your life is one blunder.”

“What about you? Why must you take it upon yourself?”

“We’re different! I’m trained for years, and this little fire can’t stop me. I would’ve gotten out of here if it wasn’t for you and the people.” She almost smacked his head with a slipper because of his worrying intelligence.

Worry got the best of Edmund, hence his reactions. After understanding the situation, he let go of her hand and removed his coat. “Take this with you. Soak it and cover yourself with it. It’s easy to get burned in that dress.”

“Thanks.” Elspeth gladly accepted the garment and covered herself with it. It did not take her long to get to the fire hydrant on the fourth floor.
