Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Long Night XVI

Athena watched in incredulity as Ewan squatted, despite the deadly cloud of sarin gas—mixed with some other component she wasn’t sure of —emitting from the safe space, and grabbed the gold bars, the pistol, and a strange necklace that she hadn’t seen earlier.

If he wanted all these, why didn’t he at least grab the face mask first, which they had left lying around during their intensive search?

What was with this foolish man and giving her a heart attack at every turn? They could always come back and retrieve those items. Wasn’t he thinking?!! _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Her thoughts, however, seemed foolish the next second when an opening caved in the ceiling and a trail of fire dropped down into the room, leading to combustion.

The bed went up in flames first.

Athena grabbed the journal to her chest, impatient as Ewan dodged the onslaught of flames, and got to her point.

"Fast, open the wall!!"

But Ewan was quite disoriented and couldn’t get the patterns right.

After the third attempt, with the fire ravaging all around them, Athena knew they needed to find another escape route. It was with relief that she discovered the passageway leading to the road was still open.

"Quick, let’s go the other way! Can you run fast?" She asked, seeing the fire consuming everything in its path, even threatening to cover the exit she was looking at.

Ewan nodded, unable to speak; his throat was closing up.

Noticing his struggle, Athena inhaled and exhaled to gain control. She needed to get herself and Ewan out of there in one piece, and then she needed to give Ewan some first aid. It seemed he had inhaled some of the gas.

Without thinking twice, she held Ewan’s free hand while his other hand clutched the goods to his chest. "Follow my lead. Don’t pause for anything, and try to hold your breath as much as you can."

Ewan nodded weakly, grasping her hand tighter. And then Athena ran as fast as she could, as if her life depended on it, while holding her breath.

She didn’t pause for once, not even when Ewan started coughing, nor when she felt the flames encircle her face, or when Ewan’s jacket and her own caught fire.

She didn’t stop until they were in the passageway, partly because she noticed, as she ran, that the walls were caving in as if to shut them inside the room with the fire.

It felt like someone was watching them.

Athena wasn’t sure how, but she let the fleeting thought go until they were out in the open.

Outside, she gently pushed a frail Ewan to the ground and fell beside him.

"Roll!" She shouted next, rolling and pushing Ewan’s body with hers to extinguish the flames that had clung to their clothes.

When that was done, she pulled Ewan onto her lap, fidgeting a bit when she saw he was turning blue in the face, his eyes opening and closing.

Angrily, she pushed the things he had retrieved from the safe space away from his chest, cursing as she did. "You would have just let them burn in the fire!!"

This should stabilize him before he’s taken to the hospital. She thought, administering the needles at the core points.
