Chapter 391
At that moment, Adam was sorting out documents in the study room when he stood up to pour himself a drink. Unexpectedly, his cigarette fell onto the carpet in the room and caused it to burn into the carpet.
His attempt to put out the initially small flicker of flame was in vain as it grew. The fire gradually licked and engulfed everything flammable in the room: wooden furniture, bookshelves, books that lined up, and the curtains of the study room.
“Someone, help!” Adam yelled frantically. “Fire! Help!”
At that moment, he recalled that an incredibly important document was stashed in the shelf, and the fire could incinerate it. It was his hard work of three months-it must be saved!
He braved through the fire in an attempt to save it when his clothes caught fire, somewhat burning him in the process.
“Aargh!”
Adam cried out in pain and staggered backward. Quickly, he hastily patted and smacked at his clothes to smother the flame.
Still, the document was mere seconds away from getting burned, and it would be gone if nothing was done to save it.
Out of the blue, a thin figure rushed in.
“Dad, get out!” With that, Adam felt someone pushing him heavily out of the study room while that figure rushed into the study room.
It was Tiffany!
Tiffany actually ran into the study room!
“Tiffany! Come on out! Come out!” yelled the anxious Adam as he hastily extinguished the flame on his sleeve.
Tiffany ignored his calls and went straight into the room still.
Adam rushed in quickly and pushed the shelf up with the others. Tiffany’s clothes were burnt, her face darkened due to the smoke, and her arms were wounded.
Yet, she laid on the ground with the document and laptop in her safe arms. Even though she was thoroughly wounded, the document in her arms was saved.
Adam felt a sting in his eyes. “Tiffany! How…how could you be so foolish?!”
“My Tiffany! Oh, my poor Tiffany! Someone, call for the family doctor!” Joey helped Tiffany up and carried her out of the study room.
As though she accidentally pressed on her wound, Tiffany made a painful moan as she regained a small shred of consciousness. She laid in Joey’s arms weakly, looking around in confusion. Instantly, she anxiously forced out, “Document… Dad’s document…”
Her voice was extremely weak, as though she was on her last breath, yet all she was concerned about was the document.
Joey’s heart felt like it was needled as she heard Tiffany’s sore voice. “The document is fine, you saved it,” comforted Joey. “Don’t speak for now… The doctor’s coming.” Tiffany relaxed after hearing that. Her eyes rolled as she succumbed into darkness.
