Ralph was always standing downstairs at my house.
I didn’t want to see him, so I decided to stay at the office and work overtime.
Just so happened that Byron was on a business trip these few days, which also avoided seeing him.
a
It was 9:30 in the evening I was the only one left in the company
I was organizing the creative proposals and couldn’t help feeling
sabit sleepy.
Unconsciously, I fell asleep on the table
When I woke up again, a pull of smoke choked my nose
Oh no!
I quickly realized – it was on fire!
I quickly made a phone call and, following the instructions of the firefighter, prepared to evacuate through the stairwell.
But unfortunately.
The door in the stairwell was locked.
I could only return to the office and wait for the firefighters to arrive.
Today is Friday.
At this moment, people’s socializing and gatherings have just ended, and it is another peak time for taking a taxi home.
The road outside the company’s entrance was so congested that it was impossible for water to flow through.
The fire grew bigger and bigger.
I tried various methods, but I couldn’t delay it.
In the end, I curled up in the corner, exhausted and struggling to breathe.
Just say there are no benefits to working overtime
Now, even my life is at stake.
In the midst of despair, a heavy thud was suddenly heard from the fire door.
One, two….
Countless times, it was finally pushed open by someone.
Byron rushed into the flames and lifted me up with one arm.
Before losing consciousness, I heard a familiar reassurance. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
I lay in the hospital for a while and then woke up.
Rubi threw herself onto me.
“It’s great that you’re okay.”
“Why were you crying?”
“Phew, phew, phew, no talking nonsense. Fortunately, Mr. Higgins arrived just in time”
Lasked her, “Where is Byron?”
Rubi sighed, “His condition wasn’t great, his left arm was fractured.
“How could it have Fractured?”
He knocked on the door.”

I was instantly stunned.
Vaguely recalling, that heavy fire door was smashed open by Byron’s flesh and blood.
“You said he must have been in so much pain, enduring a fractured bone to save you.”
Rubi murmured in my ear, “Is he really as bad as you said?”
tol
I jumped off the sickbed and went to find Byron.
His left arm was tightly wrapped with bandages.
Sitting by the window, I was quietly perusing the work report.
When I arrived, Byron drove away the others.
“Did you feel unwell?” he asked.
“Fortunately.”
“If there is any discomfort, please inform the doctor promptly.”
“Aren’t you on a business trip?” I couldn’t help but ask. “I got off the plane at eight o’clock and heard that you were working overtime, so I wanted to come back to the office to see you. Luckily, I made it in time”
He had a gentle and calm tone.
He did not mention his injury at all.
Do you
know how dangerous the situation was? What if you couldn’t get out either, what would you do?”
“That’s perfect, I’ll burn with you.”
“What time is it? And you’re still joking.”
Byron said, “I can see that you’re a bit nervous. If you don’t like it, I won’t turn it on
I looked at him with a complex expression and asked, “You are of high value, why did you save me?”
“I didn’t need a reason to save you, before my brain could think clearly, my body had already taken action.”
“Byron, you are such a strange person, first deceiving me and then saving me.
“Why do you think I lied to you?”
“It was all for the honor of your family and the group…”
Byron looked startled, “Who said that?”
1 was also taken aback, “Isn’t it?
“Madalynn, if I truly wanted to protect my reputation, there were ten thousand ways to handle you. Why did I choose the most difficult path? Don’t you really understand?”
“Then I will ask this way.
“Don’t you really feel that I liked you for a long time?
I was confused.
“May Lask, how long is considered a long time?”
“From the moment you started chasing after Ralph,” I almost jumped out of my chair.
Back then, I didn’t even know that Ralph had a brother.
Has he already had a crush on me?
