It&#8217;s too dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steven turns around, his eyes red.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is my house. No one can stop me if I want to go in!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The firefighters know what kind of place this is and the residents here are either rich of powerful.<\/p>\n<p>Precisely because of this, they can&#8217;t put him at risk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, sir. This is your home, but it&#8217;s blazing now. It&#8217;s too dangerous. We won&#8217;t let you in. Even if there are valuable items inside, you have to wait until the fire is under control and there is no danger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Violet is inside! I have to go in!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steven shakes off a firefighter&#8217;s hand and rushes inside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Steven!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that, I call him at once.<\/p>\n<p>Violet is not in there at all. It is perilous for him to act rashly.<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise, Steven doesn&#8217;t hesitate. Instead, he quickens his pace.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what feeling takes over, happy for Violet or worried about Steven.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, it is burning up and flames will engulf anyone who hastily follows him in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What shall we do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They watch him rush in and find themselves in a dilemma.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have no choice. Go and save him.&#8221; It is the fire chief who is talking.<\/p>\n<p>After putting on his mask, he tags along.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is Steven gonna be alright?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I look at Frances and ask worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s rare to see Frances with such a grim face, which hints that the situation is not optimistic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Violet! Violet! Answer me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I hear Steven&#8217;s anxious and helpless yelling coming from inside.<\/p>\n<p>Just as I hang up, I see the firefighters helping Steven out.<\/p>\n<p>He looks half-conscious, and it takes him a while to wake up.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as he opens his eyes, he gets up and struggles to head for the fire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Violet!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sir, you can&#8217;t go in!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Two firefighters try hard to hold him down.

No!&#8221; Steven manages to free himself from the firemen and prepares himself for another try by pouring a bucket of water on his head.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Steven, I&#8217;m here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Violet&#8217;s voice suddenly comes behind him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-482","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
