Rose was already sure of this answer inside. But she couldn't say it. If she said, she would be hurting
herself.
No kidnapper wanted to be recognized. Those who were recognized would usually kill the abductees.
So, Rose pretended to know nothing.
"I think you must not be a bad person. You must be in a difficult situation to do so in desperation, right?
Do you want money? My husband is very rich. As long as you want and we can do, we will give you
what you want."
Rose guided Timothy cleverly, "Let's make a deal, okay? I'll give you as much money as you want.
Then you can rest assured and we'll pretend that nothing has happened."
"My husband is Bright. You should have heard of him. If he pursues it, you may go to jail. But if you let
me go, nothing will happen. You also have parents, wife, and child. You don't want them to worry, do
you?”
"Especially your child, do you know how much this will affect him? He won't want to have a father who's
a kidnapper. If you go to jail, it will be a shadow over his life. So, this is the best way."
"I promise I'll do what I say. I also have a child. I understand your feeling. We'll do what's best for our
children."
Timothy remained silent. But he was a little hesitant inside.
After all, Bright could offer much money which was enough for him and Sophie to spend in their
lifetime. They could no longer worry about money in the future and even live well.
In fact, he didn't want to go to jail for this. After all, he still wanted to see the child born. He wanted to
be a father and raise the child.
Besides, the charge of kidnapping and arson was serious. He could be in jail for ten years. With
Bright's ability, he even might never be released.
Rose's offer was really tempting.
But Sophie would definitely not agree to let Rose go so easily. Timothy was hesitant and annoyed.
"I'm going out for a cigarette." Timothy lowered the brim of his hat and turned to leave.
Rose looked at his back as he left, knowing that he was hesitating.
As long as she put in more effort, Timothy would be persuaded and then she would be saved.
But the heat of the fire burned her so badly that her hair and clothes were wet with sweat.
She struggled two more times, but still could not break free.
A strong wind blew in from the broken window. It blew the pieces of paper that hadn't been burned all
over the house, where there were some flammable items. In such dry weather, a little spark could turn
into a sea of fire.
Looking at the items that were ignited, Rose was shocked and widened her eyes.
She froze for a moment before she began to try to scream for help.
But her mouth was taped shut. She could not call for help. Her scream only became a whimper, and
Timothy could not hear it at all.
The fire was burning. Rose looked at the fire and could no longer be as calm as just now. She
panicked.
She was desperate and suffocated.
Was she going to die here today?
She still had too much to worry about...
Her Grandpa's illness had not been cured. She was worried.
Doris had not grown up. She was worried.
As for Bright, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. She missed him so much.
And at this time, she missed him even more.
It was getting hotter and hotter. The fire was approaching and the smoke spread everywhere... Rose
felt that she could not breathe and began to be dizzy and weak.
She seemed to see a figure walking to her in a trance. It was not Timothy, but ... Bright.
No, Bright was still in Country M now. She must be hallucinating because she was very eager to see
him.
"Rose, wake up. Don't sleep..." Bright's gentle voice sounded in her ear.
He slapped Rose's face, trying to wake her up.
Rose also made great efforts to open her eyes. It was the face she was familiar to and missed.
She saw the anxiety and panic on his handsome face. Bright quickly untied the ropes tying her hands
and feet and tore the tape off her mouth. Then, Rose could be free...
But because she had been tied for too long, she fell limply once she was untied.
Bright held her weak body. Rose fell into his arms and was held tightly in his embrace.
Smelling the familiar scent of his body, she was relaxed and settled down.
But she couldn't hold back her tears and cried heavily.
Bright kissed her on the brow, "Rose, don't be afraid. I'm here."
But when Rose heard this, she cried more heavily and even trembled.
"Why are you crying more heavily?" he didn't say anything wrong.
"I am just too happy. When I think of you, then you are here."
With him around, she didn't have to be afraid of anything and could leave everything to him.
Even if the sky fell down, he would support her. So, it was good to have him.
"Honey..." Rose hugged Bright tightly.
"Let's go out first and talk about it later." Bright picked up Rose.
The roof began to collapse and dropped things. It would be terrible if they were hit.
Bright was also nervous. He held Rose, observed carefully and dodged the fallen things, quickly
rushing towards the door.
The wooden frame on the roof of the door was burned and fell. Seeing that they were about to be hit,
Bright threw Rose out with all his might in the nick of time.
Rose fell on the grass outside the door. She was not seriously injured, just a little bruise.
However, the doorway collapsed.
With a loud noise, smoke was rising everywhere.
Rose watched Bright buried in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes and didn't dare to face such a
cruel reality.
"No…" Rose then screamed, "Bright!"
She screamed miserably and bitterly. She struggled to get up, but fell down again. Then, she crawled
forward inch by inch, "Bright, wait for me. I will get you out."
When she just touched the burning wood, her fingers were burned. It hurt, but she gritted her teeth and
did not say a word.
She was about to go on when rescuers finally came forward to give help.
Bill stopped her, "Ms. Rose, please take care of yourself first."
