Chapter 149 Idiot
“Damn it!” Vinson cursed as he was stuck in a dilemma.
The air was surrounded with smoke from the burning objects in the building and the temperature had risen to an unbearable level.
Huh, what do I do now? Do I leave that child?
Vinson glanced at the crying babies and decided to head downstairs.
These kids might die if I choose to save that one guy. I have no other option.
Just as Vinson took a couple of steps down the stairs, he heard a trail of footsteps behind him.
He turned and saw Arielle running towards him. “Are the kids alright?” she asked worriedly.
“Did you find what you were looking for?” he asked in astonishment.
Arielle shook her head silently, “I was worried you wouldn’t be able to handle things alone when I heard the explosion. So, I decided to circle back.”
“Then, what about the stuff you wanted?” He frowned.
Arielle opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Human life was far more important than the things in life. If I dumped these kids to search for the item, I would be no different than the murderer who killed my mother.
Vinson knew what was on her mind judging from her expression. “You’re such an idiot!” He glanced at her.
Arielle rolled her eyes at him as she carried a wailing child in her hand. “No one was hurt from the explosion, right?”
Then, Vinson thought of the kid that ran off by himself. “No, but one of the kids ran off by himself.” He shook his head.
“What?” Arielle was shocked.
Vinson shoved the baby into her arms while taking a few steps down and said, “You take the children down first and I’ll catch up with you once I find him!”
“Vinson!” Arielle hugged the child tightly. “Your life belongs to me! So don’t you dare die until I say so!”
Vinson was stunned for a second as his lips curled into a grin. “Don’t worry. No one can take my life but you,” he reassured.
He turned and ran into the floor that was on fire as soon as he said so. Arielle had no choice but to watch his figure vanish in the thick smoke. She could not help but feel a weird feeling creeping up to her.
It was as if a seed was planted in her heart and now it was slowly sprouting…
“Miss, I want my mom…” A child who held the edge of her shirt cried out.
Arielle was immediately pulled back into reality and said, “Okay, I’ll take you to your mom now!”
She wasted no time as she carried two children in her arms and led the group of children to safety.
Going down ten flights of stairs would be a piece of cake if it was Arielle alone. Yet, she had so many children with her while carrying two in her arms. As a result, she felt so weak and exhausted.
Moreover, she had inhaled the smoke in the air, causing her to cough which slowed down the pace.
She had no strength left in her when they reached the lobby on the first floor.
Meanwhile, the group of female employees was pleading for the firefighters to save their children.
“Please save my child! Please, she’s only six months!”
“My son! He’s still in there! Please, let me in!”
“I won’t want to live anymore if anything happens to my child!” someone cried.
“Let go of me! If you won’t save them, let us do it! Let me go now!”
The scene was gradually becoming chaotic as the firefighters could not contain the panicked female employees.
