The very moment he said those words, the fire immediately became bigger.
Anna knew that she didn‘t have time to think, so she rushed in regardless of risking her life.
The man standing at the door tried to stop her, but failed. “Miss Gabriel! It‘s dangerous in there!” He shouted.
The kitchen was filled with thick smoke. Anna walked in as she shouted, “Tammy! Where are you?”
The place was a mess with pots and pans all over the floor. The first place that caught fire was the storage room. Then, the fire spread to the table between the two rows of stoves. It was so smoky that Anna was choking and coughing.
Anna saw a girl in a pink dress lying in the corner through the fire and smoke. Then, Anna immediately rushed toward her. She wrapped Tammy firmly in her jacket, picked her up and ran toward the outside
At this time, the fire grew bigger as if it suddenly jumped up. The flames were extremely fierce and Anna felt a burning and tingling sensation on her face.
The moment Anna ran out of the kitchen, she felt like she had come back from hell. Then, she could hear those people all talking to her.
“They‘re here! Oh, thank God!” “Miss Gabriel, the ambulance has arrived.”
Anna hugged Tammy tightly. Then, she saw the waiter in the crowd pointing at the ambulance. She immediately ran outside and didn‘t even have the chance to talk to anyone of them.
Just as she was leaving, she saw a woman she knew standing in the crowd. This woman looked terrified. She was nervous and cowering, unlike how calm and dominant she usually was.
However, Anna knew she didn‘t have time to think about it. She instantly rushed to the ambulance and went to the hospital with Tammy
She waited anxiously outside the emergency room. After a long time, the doctor came out.
He reassured Anna when he saw her, “Don‘t worry, she‘s not hurt. She‘ll be fine if she stays in the hospital for a few days.”
Anna breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully, “Oh! That‘s fantastic. Thank you, doctor!”
“It‘s okay. She‘s awake, so you can get in now.” “Great, thanks!”
Anna immediately walked into the emergency room and opened the curtain next to the bed. Then, she saw Tammy lying in a white sheet.
Tammy‘s body was wrapped in the covers, so Anna could only see her face. She had ash all over her face and was looking at Anna with a bewildered expression.
“Mommy!” Tammy said. Her eyes became lucid a little after she saw Anna. However, her voice was very hoarse. As soon as she spoke, she coughed.
“Baby, I‘m here. The doctor said you need to rest. If you feel uncomfortable, then don‘t talk.” Anna immediately sat down on the edge of the bed and took Tammy‘s hand in hers.
Tammy nodded and glanced behind Anna. Then, after a moment of hesitation, she said in a low voice with difficulty, “Where‘s Matthew?”
“Don‘t you worry, he‘s at the hotel. The waiter said Matthew went to the bathroom. I was in a hurry to bring you to the hospital at that time, so I didn‘t talk to him.”
Hearing her words, Tammy‘s eyes suddenly widened. She looked as if she was going to say something, but started to cough violently.
A little alarmed, Anna immediately patted her on the shoulder and said, “Well, calm down, Tammy. What‘s wrong?”
Tammy said in a trembling voice, “Mom..Matthew… Matthew‘s in the kitchen. There‘s a big fire…”
Hearing that, Anna felt her heart beat faster immediately. She asked anxiously, “Huh? What did you say? Where is Matthew? Is he in the kitchen?”
Tammy nodded, and tears quickly filled her eyes. She reached out, nudged Anna and said, “Mommy, save Matthew! Hurry up!”
Anna almost went crazy in that moment. It was almost two hours since she had rescued Tammy from the fire.
What will happen to Matthew if he‘s still in the kitchen and hasn‘t been found? S
he thought
Anna immediately took a taxi to the hotel. After getting out of the car, she ran all the way.
When she arrived at the hotel, the firefighters were cleaning up the scene. Also, there were many customers and hotel staff standing in the front door.
Anna recognized John right away and she immediately ran over and asked him, “Hey! Where‘s Matthew?”
John was taken aback by this frantic appearance of Anna. So, he froze for a long time before coming back to his senses. He stumbled and said, “Someone took him to the hospital.”
“Which hospital?” Anna immediately began to cry. She looked so panicked that the people around her couldn‘t help but keep looking at her
However, she couldn‘t care about keeping her image anymore. So, she could only keep asking questions.
John looked stunned and explained in a panic, “Hey, relax, Anna. Matthew‘s fine. When the fire broke out, he was hiding in the kitchen cooler. He was not hurt at all. They took him to the hospital because they wanted to give him a checkup. I just called you, but you didn‘t answer. After you had just left with Tammy, Charlotte rushed inside the kitchen and brought Matthew
She guessed that maybe Charlotte had given Wayne a rundown of what had happened befo she arrived. And, Charlotte had probably made Anna sound irresponsible on purpose.
She could understand Wayne‘s feelings; after all, he loved Matthew and had listened to Charlotte‘s side of the story first.
“Calm down, Wayne. If I knew Matthew was in there, I would have gone to save him…” Wayne interrupted her and said indifferently, “No, stop it. You‘re Tammy‘s mother, so you would definitely have saved her. But, you abandoned Matthew. It seems that my previous impression of you was wrong. You are not the best person to be Matthew’s mother.”

Olivia was always the pearl in her noble class until drugged to have a wild night with a total stranger… Being abandoned by her family and her fiance, she ran away to leave all the humiliation behind! But by the time she…
Anna froze and looked at Wayne‘s grim expression. She felt like his words were like a spike that stabbed her hard in the heart. At that moment, she felt so heartbroken that she could barely speak.
“What did you just say?” She asked as she couldn‘t believe her own ears.
Anna knew that even if she was not Matthew‘s mother, she would have rushed into the fire to save him. Besides, Matthew was her own child.
Wayne said indifferently, “Well, you can go now. I will think about our relationship these days, and I‘ll tell you my answer after that. Also, I‘ll make it up to you as much as I can.”
Then, a crisp slap sounded in the hallway. Hearing that, several nurses not far away turned to look at them
Wayne had faint fingerprints on the right side of his face. He tilted his head slightly sideways and did not move for several seconds, as if he was frozen.
It took him a while for him to come back to his senses. Then, the veins on his forehead became bulged out. In disbelief, Wayne looked at Anna with an embarrassed and incredulous expression.
