Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 130

"Drive faster!"

Henry growled angrily and rejected his supposition.

"There's a difference between love and sympathy, Bright. And do you have any other option to strike a deal with the devil?

FYI, I am doing it for Laura. She is my responsibility. I won't let anyone trouble her!"

This squabble only ended when we reached our destination, the snow-covered mountain in the southern village. The police cars and the firefighters' trucks were in front of us, but they were finding it hard to continue this operation.

"Melody is on the top of the mountain with Leo, a small car can reach there at a time.

It will take longer than usual in this case …"

Bright asked the firefighters to go to the top cabin, and on the other hand, Henry was dialing Melody's number.

"Come on, Melody!

It's time for repayment.'"

In this desperate situation, my brother looked like a devious businessman, who had carefully used underhand tactics to achieve his goals. But the delay in his desired positive results was getting on his nerves.

Eventually, he grew tired of waiting and asked Bright.

"Get in the car!

I need to approach her personally."

There was a middle point in the path where we could park our car and go on foot, so we drove forward. I could see high flames from the bottom.

With this fire, it would be a miracle if Leo could survive today, but I was optimistic, hoping for the best. The police were able to trace him swiftly, and a team of firefighters rushed to the top way before us. So, there was a strong chance that they would bring Leo and Melody out safely.

Dwindling between hopes and fears, I was praying in my heart when Henry's aggressive tone made me jump, breaking my trance.

"Melody, you have truly disappointed me today!"

All thanks to our luck, Henry's call connected, he scolded Melody on the other side.

"Ok, Henry. As you say!"

We stayed at mid-point as more firefighters went to the top to rescue Leo, completing their mission. When they brought Leo, his clothes were almost burned with fire. It was fortunate that Melody untied him, and he saved himself.

Melody was following Leo's stature as they passed through us, I wanted to stop her right there and ask a series of questions.

Like, how could she ignore everything and try to burn herself alive? Didn't she know that this was the most painful method of dying?

As we all safely made it to the bottom, I finally saw Leo, who was coughing like a chronic patient. The thick fog of smoke must have cut off his oxygen supply.

He was on the verge of passing out when his gaze met mine.

"Laura!"

He whispered, slightly returning to his senses. The very first thing that he did was to hide his condition. He averted his face as I stepped forward.

"Don't look at me, Laura. I am a hideous monster!"
