There was a distance of three or four meters from the door. There was a sudden crash, so she quickly retreated. Several wooden beams fell from above and blocked her way!The flames were raging, and the sheet she used to cover herself quickly became half-dry. The few bottles of mineral water were not enough!Sonnet had no choice but to retreat to the big bed while covering her mouth and nose with the sheet.She felt a little hopeless as she stared at the raging flames near the entrance. She wondered if she was going to be buried in a sea of flames. At that moment, a figure rushed in, lifted the inclined wooden beams, and shouted, "Wifey!"Sonnet was shocked. She looked up and saw Maxwell rushing in with a thick quilt soaked in water.He had great strength and kicked the wooden beam away with one kick while wrapped in a quilt. He then rushed in.Sonnet was shocked and rushed toward him while responding, "I'm here, I'm here!"Maxwell ran up to her in an instant and wrapped her in
She tried her best twice and finally pried it open somewhat.Maxwell rolled over and crawled out from under the steel bar. She immediately let go of the railing to help Maxwell up.She tried to help him, but Maxwell could not move. "No, I can't stand up."She gritted her teeth hard and said, "I'll carry you on my back!"She grabbed Maxwell's arm and pulled him onto her back, then covered the quilt over them and ran outside.She took a few steps before she tripped over something and fell heavily to the ground.Maxwell's gentle voice said next to her ear, "No, you can't get out with me on your back. We’ll both die. You should go out and find someone to come in and save me!""No! I’ll never leave you!" she shouted.With a bang, the flames engulfed the walls around them.Maxwell pushed her away vigorously and said in a cold tone, "Cover yourself with the quilt and rush out now!""No! I won't leave you behind!""Rush out to find someone to come in for me and I’ll still have a gli
Lindy looked at the sea of flames in front of her. "Get someone to rescue Maxwell!"Marcus shook his head. "We can't go in considering the situation. I can't let my men die in vain just to save Maxwell..."His eyes turned red as he spoke.Lindy felt a pain in her heart. She bit her lip and hugged Sonnet tightly...…Sonnet woke up in a hospital bed with Lindy sitting next to her."Where's Maxwell? They rescued Maxwell, right?!" She grabbed Lindy's hand and blurted as soon as she woke up. Her voice was hoarse.Lindy did not answer. She just squeezed Sonnet’s hand tightly and shed tears.A sense of chill came to Sonnet's heart, and she shook her head vigorously. "No, Maxwell is fine! No!” She struggled to sit up and got out of bed. "I need to see him. Tell me which ward he’s in!"Lindy hugged her with all she had and shouted, "Sonnet, Maxwell is dead. He’s dead!"Sonnet's body froze, and at that moment, a sharp pain hit her heart.She was in so much pain that she could not b
After dinner, Sonnet listened to Lindy talk about what happened last night.Alex called Maxwell as soon as he noticed that she disappeared from the women's bathroom, and Maxwell called Marcus and Logan to go over with him.This warehouse was some distance away from Film City. It was hard to see at night, and there were not many people around, so Alex searched for a long time but could not find them.When Maxwell and the others arrived, the warehouse was on fire and they found the warehouse by following the illumination from the fire.All they found was a quilt that Lindy saw in the small room. It was probably left by the group who kidnapped Sonnet.Maxwell grabbed the wet quilt and rushed into the fire to rescue Sonnet without a second thought. The others were delayed because they had to find quilts and other things to put out the fire and save people.Who would have thought that after such a delay, Maxwell was gone forever...Afterward, Marcus and Alex blamed themselves a lot f
Lindy turned her head and saw Sonnet standing at the door of the ward, looking at them.She woke up when Lindy placed her on the bed. She heard Marcus' voice outside and hurried out just in time to hear about the gas cylinder."Where was the gas cylinder? I didn't see any gas cylinders in the warehouse!" she exclaimed."I heard that there were several small gas cylinders in the locker," Marcus replied.Sonnet clenched her fists angrily and said, "Those people were determined to kill us!"Marcus did not answer.Sonnet bit her bloodshot lips and looked at him. "Have those who kidnapped me been found?""I’ve asked someone to investigate but haven’t heard anything back yet.""Let me know as soon as they find anything!" Sonnet said in a deep voice.Marcus looked at her rather worriedly.Sonnet smiled sadly and said, "I can hold myself together. Don't worry. I must find out who wanted to harm me and Maxwell. I won’t hesitate even if I have to spend my whole life trying to find them
Maxwell’s funeral was held two days later. Marcus was the one who arranged everything as Sonnet did not have the strength to intervene. She merely sat in mourning early in the morning of the funeral, sitting on the widow’s designated seat. Meanwhile, Jaybie and Lune wore mourning clothes for Maxwell and obediently sat next to Sonnet.Upon learning of Maxwell‘s death, the two children cried bitterly, and Jaybie was almost out of breath from sobbing.Sonnet knew that the two children had developed a deep relationship with Maxwell during the more than half a year they spent together.It was Jaybie who suggested wearing mourning clothes for Maxwell. He was small in size but understood the situation well. He said that Maxwell needed the two children to see him off, and he and Lune were willing to wear funeral attire for him.Sonnet had just sat down for a while when Will arrived with his children, looking sorrowful. He was the head of the Brooks family, and Maxwell was his nephew. E
Welson leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice as he said, “Look at how haggard you are. If you cry until you’re sick, Uncle Welson here will have a heartache because of you!”He thought that Sonnet was now helpless and could only endure his verbal teasing. Yet unexpectedly, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.The sound of the slap echoed through the hall, and the guests who were previously talking suddenly quieted down.Welson had said his last few words quietly, so no one heard him. Now the guests were all looking at the widow and the Brooks family’s third master with a gossipy look on their faces.Welson was stunned for a moment. He held his face in a daze before coming back to his senses.“You’re out of your mind! How dare you hit your elders?!” He pointed at Sonnet and roared, reaching out to slap her.Sonnet stepped back to get out of the way and took out her phone, playing back the recording of Welson teasing her just now.The moment she saw Welson
When the funeral ended, Sonnet asked Marcus about the investigation again.“I’ve already sent someone to look for the guy who serviced the car, and Logan is also looking for the people who kidnapped you. There’ll be news in a few days, so don’t worry!”Sonnet nodded. “Be sure to tell me when there’s any result. If I’m going to take revenge, I want to do it myself!”Marcus nodded heavily.Lindy walked in from outside and said, “Sonnet, do you know who I saw just now?”“Who?”“Jessie! She was sitting in Welson’s car. As soon as he got in, she wrapped her arms around his neck. It looks like she got mixed up with Welson now.”Sonnet sneered. “She couldn’t get anything from the son, so she latched onto the father!”“Do you think what happened before had something to do with Jessie?” Lindy’s voice rose slightly.Sonnet’s face darkened.Hiring someone to rape her and film it did seem like something Jessie would do. She turned to Marcus, and he was quickly inspired. He nodded and s
