Sophia’s face fell, and she immediately ran in the direction her finger was pointing.
She didn’t think about anything, she was just worried that Sandra might be in danger.
She pushed the door open and turned around, only to find that the door had been locked from the outside.
Sophia’s face slightly changed, then she slammed the door:
“Someone, open the door, help……”
The compartment was dimly lit and narrow, resembling a long- unused storeroom, with quite a few items piled up.
She gradually began to feel nervous, an inexplicable fear spreading at the bottom of her heart.
No one knew, she had claustrophobia.
She took a deep breath, fumbling on the wall for the light switch, but she couldn’t find it no matter what.

Very quickly.
She noticed something was off, as if she had smelled the scent of something burning.
The smell became increasingly strong, causing her to start coughing.
The phone on me was unknowingly lost somewhere.
She was filled with a tense sense of helplessness, forced to curl up by the door, breathing in the faint air that drifted in from outside.
The effect was minimal.
The smell of smoke was coming from another room inside the box, and it seemed that waves of heat were eagerly invading.
Didn’t know what was burning.
Sophia’s face looked extremely awful, she was already covering her mouth and nose, coughing so much that she couldn’t speak.
But no matter how hard they knocked on the door, it was no use, there was not a single sound from outside.
She didn’t understand, who was harming her under the guise of

Sandra’s name!
Such a cruel method was used!

“Help me…”
Her voice was almost hoarse from shouting, but there was no sign of movement outside.
The fear inside Sophia gradually spread, that kind of terror seemed to attack her heart again, tightly clenching her fists, her body slightly trembling.
It was like the feeling she had that day, when she could sense her child slowly slipping away from her body, and she was utterly helpless.
Even if she had used all her strength, she couldn’t keep the child, even though she had been so looking forward to his arrival.
She wanted to become invincible, wanted to make those who had hurt her beyond redemption, but she didn’t succeed, she hadn’t succeeded yet.
She was as fragile as a blade of grass, easily manipulated by others.

She was not content, really useless!
The smoke descended like the grim reaper, slowly enveloping her curled–up body, stealing every inch of her breath, as the overwhelming darkness before her eyes surged in.
Just as I was about to fall into a drowsy sleep, I suddenly heard the sound of the smoke alarm.
It seemed as if someone was frantically fleeing outside, but no one cared about the faint noise Sophia made from inside the booth.
The more I anticipated, the more I was disappointed.
Just as she was sinking into immense despair, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, seemingly rushing and knocking on every compartment door, loudly calling her name.
“Sophia–”
Her consciousness was awakened, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn’t help but cough. She pounded on the door, finally attracting attention from outside.
The man kicked the door open and stood there, his tall and straight figure cold and deep, looming in the shadows, his expression seemingly very anxious and flustered.

The person who came was actually Pierce?
He rushed in, scooping up Sophia who was curled up in the corner. The panic in his eyes was impossible to hide, and even his hands were trembling.
“Sophia, don’t scare me, it’s all right now…”
He was incoherently comforting her, who was about to lose consciousness, as if he was also consoling himself.
His chest was warm yet indifferent, like a piece of ice that couldn’t be melted. She feared being frozen, yet she longed to be close.
He ran out in large strides, his voice carrying a hint of coldness and tremble:
“Doctor, call the doctor…”
He was terribly flustered, his face no longer held the usual calm and composed demeanor.
He was somewhat surprised that the immense fear he had just experienced had engulfed him like a whirlpool.
Especially when he saw her barely breathing in the smoke–filled cabin, his heart felt as if it had been brutally torn apart, as if it

was about to split open. The pain was so intense that it felt like all his internal organs were displaced.
At that moment.
Sophia couldn’t describe what she was feeling in her heart. It was just a complex emotion spreading to her heart, bringing a dense, prickling pain that made even breathing difficult.
She loved him to the marrow of her bones, and also hated him for hurting her deeply.
Pierce, who owed her a life, eventually paid it back.
She completely fell into unconsciousness.
***
Inside the hospital.
Sophia suffered from mild poisoning due to excessive inhalation of carbon monoxide. After being rescued, she woke up only after being unconscious for two days.
Opening my eyes, I found myself in a strange room with a faint smell of disinfectant, and the first thing I saw was the white curtains.

Kylan stepped closer, gently brushing her hair, his voice soft and careful:
“Woke up, did you? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll go call the doctor.”
He urgently called for the doctor, and only after the doctor had finished the examination and said there was nothing serious, did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“I was scared to death, and so were mom and dad. They asked about your condition every two hours. I could hardly hold on!”
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth and laughed.
The feeling of being able to survive and see my loved ones, it was really great!
“Bro, it’s all good now.”
Kylan tugged at her blanket, his face somewhat sullen:/
“This matter couldn’t just be left like that, I had already asked about the cause of the fire. They said someone next door was conducting a fire drill and accidentally threw flammable materials into the booth.”
“But the room’s window didn’t lead outside, so I suspected

someone deliberately set the fire. Do you still remember how you got in?”
Sophia slightly furrowed her brows, her face pale and weak, a sight that evoked extreme pity.
“It was a female waitress who told me that Sandra had been taken inside. I didn’t think much of it and just went in. But as soon as I entered, the door was locked behind me.”
“Waiter, that’s easy, we will check one by one.”
Kylan took a deep breath, his expression somber.
Sophia was in such great danger this time, they couldn’t possibly have remained indifferent.
No matter who it was, they had to pay the price.
Sophia pursed her lips, her gaze shifting towards the window, when suddenly she heard someone knocking at the door.
Derick’s voice came through:
“Sophia, I came over as soon as I heard from the doctor that you had woken up,”
Derick looked a bit pale, with what seemed to be some bruising

at the corners of his mouth, but it still couldn’t hide his cold and noble demeanor.
Kylan nodded slightly, opening his mouth with a smile:
“Derick came several times a day, and he brought me dinner for the past two days.”
Derick laughed briefly, then reined in his emotions:
“I should have, I failed to protect Sophia, it was indeed my fault.”
His attitude was somewhat heavy.
Kylan paused, “It’s hard to guard against everything, don’t take it too seriously.”
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth, “It’s none of your business, Mr. Woodward. Don’t overthink it, your

face…”
Derick walked over, his eyes gently observing her pale complexion. Nonchalantly, he shifted his gaze, smiled, and sat down next to her:
“It was nothing, just a ruffian who threw a few punches.”

“I ran into Mr. Clement on the way here just now. He seemed to be tied up by Emelia, something about a child being found and needing to be picked up.”
