In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 458

At the entrance, he is stopped by firefighters.

"Sir, you can't go in. It's too dangerous."

Steven turns around, his eyes red.

"This is my house. No one can stop me if I want to go in!"

The firefighters know what kind of place this is and the residents here are either rich of powerful.

Precisely because of this, they can't put him at risk.

"I'm sorry, sir. This is your home, but it's blazing now. It's too dangerous. We won'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."

"Violet is inside! I have to go in!"

Steven shakes off a firefighter's hand and rushes inside.

"Steven!"

Seeing that, I call him at once.

Violet is not in there at all. It is perilous for him to act rashly.

To my surprise, Steven doesn't hesitate. Instead, he quickens his pace.

I don't know what feeling takes over, happy for Violet or worried about Steven.

Right now, it is burning up and flames will engulf anyone who hastily follows him in.

"What shall we do?"

They watch him rush in and find themselves in a dilemma.

"We have no choice. Go and save him." It is the fire chief who is talking.

After putting on his mask, he tags along.

"Is Steven gonna be alright?"

I look at Frances and ask worriedly.

"It's hard to say."

It's rare to see Frances with such a grim face, which hints that the situation is not optimistic.

"Violet! Violet! Answer me!"

I hear Steven's anxious and helpless yelling coming from inside.

Just as I hang up, I see the firefighters helping Steven out.

He looks half-conscious, and it takes him a while to wake up.

As soon as he opens his eyes, he gets up and struggles to head for the fire.

"Violet!"

"Sir, you can't go in!"

Two firefighters try hard to hold him down. Finally, they succeed.

"Someone was left inside. My wife is inside!"

Steven roars and the veins on his forehead proves his anger.

"Someone? We've already confirmed that there's no one inside." A fireman looks into his eyes and says suspiciously.

"No! She must be inside. Nothing can happen to her. No!" Steven manages to free himself from the firemen and prepares himself for another try by pouring a bucket of water on his head.

"Steven, I'm here."

Violet's voice suddenly comes behind him.
