Chapter 1
There was a sudden fire at home and I called the fire department immediately.
But I heard the sound of the fire truck but couldn’t wait for it.
I followed the sound and found that the firefighters were putting out the fire in an abandoned hut.
My husband, who couldn’t be contacted, was standing by to comfort the frightened Rowena.
Looking at the smug face of the Rowena, I soon realized that she did it on purpose!
I didn’t want to care and just wanted to take the firefighters away and said that my mother was still in the fire scene.
But my husband held me tightly and didn’t allow me to talk to the firefighters and said angrily, “Enough! There should be a limit to fighting for favor. If Rowena says fire, you also say fire! You even cursed your own mother, how can you be so disgusting!”
I just felt cold all over, but the firefighters believed me and sent a large part of them to put out the fire at home.
Facing the burnt figure in the ambulance, my husband felt a little guilty and said embarrassedly, “Wait until your mother is better. I will apologize to her.”
But I shook my head.
“My mom is fine, you should apologize to your mom!”
I clearly heard the siren of the fire truck, but I didn’t see the shadow of the fire truck. Seeing the fire in the old house getting bigger and bigger and the cries for help in the house getting smaller and smaller, I was so anxious that I couldn’t bear it anymore and went to find the fire truck.
When I ran to the entrance of the village, I found that the fire truck had indeed arrived.
The reason why the fire truck didn’t go to my house to put out the fire was that they were putting out a fire in an old house that had been uninhabited for many years.
Among the villagers watching on the side, the two people standing in the most conspicuous place were my husband, Hadwin, who had never answered the phone and his unclear childhood sweetheart, Rowena.
I rushed forward in anger, but Hadwin didn’t notice my approach. Instead, he still hugged Rowena and comforted her softly, “Rowena, don’t worry. No one lives in this house and you called the fire department not long after the fire broke out. Don’t be afraid.”
Rowena glanced at me inconspicuously, threw herself into Hadwin’s arms, with a smug look in her eyes and eyebrows. I quickly realized that she knew that my house was on fire!
She sobbed pretentiously, “But you just heard that the neighbors said that there will be many stray cats living here. What if the stray cats are still in there? That’s a life and what if the fire spreads and burns other things?”
Hadwin felt distressed again when he heard this. He comforted Rowena and sighed at Rowena’s words.
Hearing this, I couldn’t hold back any longer, rushed up and fiercely separated the two and then slapped Hadwin heavily. “Are you a crazy? Why didn’t you answer my call? Do you know that our family…”
But before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Rowena. She pulled my hand and explained anxiously, “Hadwin didn’t mean to miss the call. I was too scared just now. Hadwin missed the call to comfort me.”
I had seen Rowena’s skills a long time ago, not to mention that the house was still on fire at the moment. Of course, I didn’t have the leisure to argue with her here. I reached out and wanted to pull Li Hadwin home.
Rowena looked at the five fingers on Hadwin’s face with heartache, protected Hadwin and continued, “If you are angry, hit me. Don’t hit Hadwin. This is all my fault.”
I was about to say something, but I felt a tingling pain in the palm of my hand. I looked down and found that Rowena wasn’t trying to stop the fight, but in fact, she was using her long nails to scratch my palm desperately!
Chapter 2
I was angry and wanted to pull my hand back immediately, but before I could use much force, Rowena stumbled and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Hadwin was naturally distressed. “Are you done? This is a fire, can you stop hitting people at every turn! If Rowena calls the police, you will go to jail, you know?”
Rowena shook her head. “I’m fine, I’m fine, I accidentally fell down, This is really a misunderstanding, Hadwin and I are not dating. I just passed by here and found that the house was on fire, so I contacted Hadwin and Hadwin accompanied me here to wait for the fire truck. I really didn’t mean it…”
Hadwin was even more angry. “Look at you, look at Rowena, you are completely different from her! Why did I marry a shrew like you? Get back quickly, don’t show up in front of me. Don’t embarrass yourself here and affect the firefighting!”
I was so angry that I almost fainted on the spot.
After taking several deep breaths, I finally found my voice. “Hadwin, what are you crazy about? Do you really think you are a hot commodity? I don’t want a rotten cucumber like you! And you!” I looked at Rowena beside me. “Hadwin and I have signed a divorce agreement a long time ago. We are just waiting for the cooling-off period to get the divorce certificate. Don’t act here. If you dare to do this to me again in the future, I will not be so good-tempered.”
Hadwin and Rowena were stunned for a moment, as if they didn’t expect me to say that. Their faces were not very good. Hadwin stammered, “In this case, why did you call me?”
“I called you because the old house at home caught fire!” I was so angry that if Hadwin hadn’t asked, I would have forgotten my purpose.
Hadwin frowned and before he could speak, Rowena said first, “Fire is not a joke. Do you know how many disasters a fire may bring?”
Were you saying that I was lying? What a good way of putting the blame on someone else. I tried to calm myself down, but my voice was still trembling, “Hadwin! Don’t you understand? I called the fire truck and it was your Rowena who deliberately stopped it just to let the fire spread at home! Now many neighbors in the village are fighting the fire, but you are here flirting with this bitch? Do you think I should hit you again?”
Hadwin looked confused and still didn’t seem to believe it.
I was too lazy to talk to him, so I raised the cordon in front of me and wanted to bend down and walk in to explain to the firefighters. But I was directly held by Hadwin and Rowena on the left and right.
I turned my head angrily. “Let go of me. I don’t have time to play with you here. The fire doesn’t wait for anyone!”
Hadwin saw that I didn’t look like I was joking and quickly let go of my hand.
But Rowena refused to let go, looked at Hadwin pitifully and said, “Hadwin, how can fires be so common? How can it be such a coincidence that when there is a fire here, your house will also catch fire?”
In fact, I also wanted to say this. There were very few people in the village, almost no one. Everyone only came back during the holidays. Especially this small house, which had been abandoned for more than ten years. How could it catch fire inexplicably?
Was it possible?
I was a little suspicious, but before I could figure it out, Rowena continued, “Although you said you didn’t mind, you slapped Hadwin as soon as you saw him. It’s clear that you still care. You must have discovered that there is a small forest not far from this small house, so you deliberately wanted to take the firefighters away, because you just wanted to burn the small forest!”
Chapter 3
I looked in the direction of Rowena’s finger and couldn’t help rolling my eyes.
What grove? There were less than five trees in total. You called it a grove?
I said angrily, “There are only a few saplings. Just burn them!”
But Hadwin held me back again. “No, trees are a small matter, but that was the place Rowena and I loved to go to when we were young. I can’t let it disappear.”
Perhaps he recalled the things that happened when they were young and Hadwin’s expression became very gentle. “Rowena, you are right. I was almost fooled by her just now. She deliberately followed me and wanted to take me away from you. She also deliberately lied about the fire and wanted to burn down our secret base. Don’t worry, I won’t let this happen.”
In front of me, the two of them looked at each other affectionately. I dared say that if there was no one around at this moment, the two of them would probably hug and kiss directly.
A few scattered onlookers watched and they all watched the excitement and talked about it.
[I say, this fire is not a trivial matter. You can’t just talk nonsense.]
[That is, you can’t control your man, so you talk nonsense about fire. How can such a thing happen?]
[And if the fire is not extinguished, the people around us will also feel uncomfortable when they smell the smell of fire. You should go back quickly. Men can’t be pushed too hard.]
Seeing that no one was there to speak for me, I shook my head vigorously to calm myself down, because I felt that I seemed to have forgotten to say something important. “Hadwin, I forgot to tell you that my mother is still inside. This is a matter of life and death. Do you think I would lie?”
I thought that after saying this, Hadwin would immediately let go and take the firefighter home, but I didn’t expect Hadwin to get even angrier. “Are you sick? For the sake of female competition, you even curse your own mother? How could your mother give birth to such an unfilial daughter like you?”
Rowena held back a smile, but nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, how can you say this nonsense?”
I never thought that I would fall into a situation where I couldn’t prove myself. Just when I collapsed, the firefighter next to me discovered the farce here.
Perhaps he saw the signal for help in my eyes, he walked over without hesitation. “This is a fire scene, you can’t cross the cordon. It may be dangerous.”
Perhaps he felt that his tone was a bit stiff, he cleared his throat. “I think you seem to have something to say just now?”
I nodded. “Hello, firefighter, the fire is not here. It’s still at the other end of the village! Come with me quickly. It’s too late to put out the fire.”
The firefighter’s face changed instantly and he immediately turned to look at Rowena. “Didn’t you say that you were the one who called the police just now? Is the fire here? Do you know you are...”
Before he finished speaking, Hadwin waved his hand. “Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding. This is my wife, she is talking nonsense, the fire is here.”
I explained loudly, “No, I was the one who called the police just now and I also told you on the phone that there is still a person trapped in the fire!”
The firefighter was very angry. When he saw me repeat the situation on the phone, he quickly realized that I was the one who called the fire, but the fire was extremely urgent and there was no time for him to worry about it.
He immediately ran to his colleagues, loudly arranging something and then led most of the people to me. “Hurry up and get in the car. Lead the way for us, we will follow you to put out the fire now.”
