When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Get the Painting Back

Shirley dragged the unconscious Keith and finally ran out of the raging sea of fire.

At that time, Shirley was already exhausted, lying on the ground with Keith, breathing heavily.

Looking at the blue sky, Shirley felt the cold wind brush past her skin. For the first time, Shirley realized the value of

life!

“Wee woo! Wee woo!”

The sound of the fire engine was getting closer and closer, and a group of firemen was ready to put out the fire with

extinguishers.

“How are you?”

The medical staff in white carried a stretcher and walked to Shirley and Keith.

Shirley quickly got up and said with a sorry face, “I’m fine. Please save him. His leg has been broken. You have to deal with his injury immediately!

“He was injured when he tried to save me. No matter what, you must save him. No matter what cost it takes, you have to save him. I beg you…

Shirley pulled the arm of the medical staff and cried.

She had just checked Keith and could clearly feel the dislocation of his calf bone. The injury was very serious.

If Keith was disabled because of this, Shirley would never forgive herself.

“Don’t worry, we will do our best to save him.”

The medical staff comforted Shirley and carried the unconscious Keith into the ambulance.

Shirley had wanted to get in the ambulance, but when she looked back, she found that her home had been burned out,

and her heart was filled with endless pain.

Suddenly, she thought of something and her face tensed up. Without a word, she intended to rush into the sea of fire.

“Lady, what are you doing? It’s too dangerous. Please leave the fire source quickly!”

A fireman stepped forward to stop Shirley.

However, Shirley did not care and shouted, “My things! The things that are very important to me are still inside. I

need to get them back!”

“The fire is too big. If you go in now, you will die. No matter how important they are, they are not as important as your life. Please don’t take the risk…”

“Let me go. Let me get in. Let go!”

The firemen tried to persuade her, but Shirley insisted on getting in, and the scene was suddenly out of control.

At that moment, there was a creak. It was the sound of a sports car’s tires rubbing against the ground.

Braden opened the car door and walked out.

“Stop messing around!”

His cold voice was like an imperial edict, instantly quieting the chaotic scene.

།

The moment Shirley saw Braden, she was like a bullied child who finally saw her father. She felt a strong sense of security and tears flowed out

“Why are you shouting at me? My things are still inside. They won’t let me in. I want to get my things!”

Shirley collapsed. She pounded Braden’s chest and vented her emotions without restraint.

Even though Shirley was strong, she was still a woman. When she encountered such dangerous and terrible things,

she would be fragile.

Somehow, she only showed her weakness in front of him….

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

Braden was like coaxing his daughter. He pulled Shirley into his arms and gently stroked her messy hair. He wiped her face, which was full of dirt, and said softly, “Go to my car and sit down. If you want anything, I’ll get it for you.”

It was rare for Shirley to be obedient. She said softly, “My father’s painting and the map my mother left behind… It’s

in my bedroom on the second floor!”

“Got it.”

Braden ordered the medical staff beside him to watch over Shirley.

Then, he tied his nose and mouth with a wet towel, held the fire extinguisher, and rushed straight into the fire….

Everyone present was frightened and shouted, “No, Mr. Stewart, it’s too dangerous. Come back quickly!”

Initially, Shirley was in a panic and only wanted to take back the things that were left by her parents. She didn’t expect

that Braden would really take the risk of returning to the fire to get them for her.

Shirley sniffed and wiped her tears, saying, “Yes, you are like a monster, and you have many lives. You won’t die… No, you are a cockroach running around everywhere. You can survive everywhere. I really shouldn’t shed tears for you.”

“Is this the way you repay the kindness to me?” Braden asked with a dark face.

“What else can I do? Give myself to you?”

“I can consider it.”

An ambiguous feeling spread between them in an instant.

They had been married for four years, and it seemed that there had never been such a moment of mutual affection. It

was also a little subtle.

Sitting in Braden’s car, Shirley frowned and carefully examined the painting.

The painting was still intact, just as vivid as before.

“This is the painting that my dad cherished the most when he was alive. It is Gustav’s ‘Portrait of Adele Bloch–Bauer I‘ Many big shots in the artwork world are looking for this painting. Some of them even bid tens of millions of dollars for it. At that time, the Wilson family had a hard time and we needed money. Dad was not willing to sell this painting. If it was burned this time, I don’t know how regretful I would be…”

When Shirley said this, she couldn’t help but cry again. She looked at Braden who was concentrating on driving with

teary eyes and said from the bottom of her heart, “Braden, thank you. I didn’t expect you to be so loyal.”

Braden said coldly, “You call this ‘loyal‘?”

“If it isn’t loyalty, then what is it?”

At that moment, it was the red light.

Braden pulled the handbrake and turned to look at Shirley. His eyes were deep and burning as he asked, “Do you really mean what you just said?”

“What did I say?” Shirley blushed.

“Tell me, if I die, you don’t want to live either?”

“Of course… Of course, it’s fake!”

Shirley said stubbornly, “The atmosphere was perfect. If I don’t say that, it would seem that I have no conscience.”

“Is that so?”

Braden revealed a meaningful expression.

The green light lit up. Shirley thought that Braden was going to release the handbrake, but he held her hand tightly. with his large palm…
