Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

The two of them turned around when they heard the voice.

It was Quill. He was wearing his wedding tuxedo, but as he cin a hurry, his shirt was disheveled and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead as he suppressed his erratic breathing. "Quill, Vivy may still be inside. The dressing room has caught fire." Mabie burst into tears as soon as she saw Quill.

Quill said as he panted, "I know. Please, stand aside. I'll try and kick the door open." "Alright, alright." Mabie hastily retreated to the side, and so did David.

As the lock was damaged, the door couldn't be opened at all. However, it'd be too late if they got the tools to break it open, so this was the only way.

Quill was still young, and he also exercised regularly, so he was ripped. He managed to kick the door open after a few attempts, just that he caused a huge ruckus.

Mabie could tell his leg hurt with every kick.

However, Quill remained straight-faced, with his lips pursed into a straight line as he broke the door down.

Bang! Smoke billowed out along with a raging flas soon as the door was opened. Mabie wanted to rush in, but David pulled her back.

"It's blazing. We can't go in like this." Livid, Mabie cursed, "Why not? Vera's still in there!" Mabie had completely lost her rationality, but not David. And just so happened Minerva had arrived. She was taken aback by the blazing flame. "Mrs. Zais, the fire is too intense. You won't be able to save Vera even if you go in." "Then what should we do..." With that, they looked forward only to find Quill gone.

"Quill!" Minerva exclaimed, subliminally walking forward.

David grabbed her and said, "You can't go in. It's too intense." Minerva felt her heart was beating wildly, and she bit her lower lip hard. "When will the rescue arrive?" she asked.

"They've already called 911, but it'll take stfor them to get here. I don't know how long though," Mabie mumbled as she wiped her tears.

Minerva felt dizzy, and her legs were giving out at the thought of Vera and her brother in the fire.

The room was ablaze; would they be able to make it out of there? Just as Minerva was about to fall to the ground from the dizziness, a pair of strong arms held her.

She looked up when she felt a familiar scent; it was Maddox. She didn't know when he had arrived. Beanie was also standing next to him with a face filled with worry and anxiety. Seeing Maddox, Minerva grabbed his collar tightly as if he was her lifeline. She wanted to say something, but she was choked with sobs, and tears soon flowed down her cheeks. He pursed his lips as he looked at her; his gaze, dark. Then, he looked up at the blaze. It was so intense that anybody who went in would be scorched.

But her best friend and her brother were inside.

With that thought, Maddox let go of Minerva and said to Beanie, "Look after your mommy." Hearing that, Minerva knew Maddox had made up his mind. She immediately held a death grip on his arm and said, "No, don't go." Quill had already gone in. was blazing; even though she wanted to think otherwise, she couldn't let the three most important people in her life risk their lives at the stime. "Don't worry." Maddox caressed the back of her head and placed a gentle kiss on the forehead. "I've managed to survive the sea. A fire like this won't holdback." "No, no way. You can't go in no matter what. Minerva shook her Vel.ne head and bit her lower lip hard. She looked at the raging fire as she. made a decision, "From now on before the firemen arrive, no one is allowed to enter." Although she was distressed about the situation inside, she could not selfishly let others take risks.

Just because someone was bold enough to charge in doesn't mean they could accomplish something with such a raging fire. The more people there were, the more danger they would face.

Vera was trapped inside, and she couldn't stop Quill from charging in in time. All she could do now was wait for them to cout and wait for the firemen to arrive.

Maddox stared at her with distress in his eyes. "Why do you want to do this to yourself? You're obviously worried." Minerva bit her lower lip. "Callselfish, but I can't let all of you risk your lives at the stime."

After Quill rushed into the fire, the flames nearly burned the surface of his skin dry. The fire climbed the curtains, and the furniture Crackled as they burned. Gradually, the scenery that entered his view changed In the fire, cries for help rang in his ears. The room was engulfed in flames, and he was suffocating from the heavy smoke. Standing in the fire, Quill felt as if he had returned to the fire in his childhood.

He was still a child then, but he had to witness his loved one die saving him. The power went out at hthat day. His mother, Phoebe, lit a candle and told him to sit there and not move.

As it was his birthday, Quill wouldn't

stop asking for a cake. However, the power went out just as his mother was leaving. At first Phoebe wash el worried about leaving him at home, but after thinking that his father was resting in the other room, she was no longer worried. She ordered Quill not to run around, and he could wake his father up if he got bored. After that, Phoebe went out to buy the cake.

Quill sat obediently in front of the candle as he waited; his eyes filled with anticipation for the cake. Like any child, he loved cakes, especially the cream on the surface; soft, smooth, and sweet.

But more importantly, he was turning five that day, so there would be five candles on the cake. He wanted to make three wishes when he blew out the candles later.

His first wish was to grow up faster so that he could eat cakes other than during birthdays.

His second wish was for his

grandfather to accept his father sooner. His father looked gloomy all the tas his mother wanted to endure the hardship with him, yet he seemed reluctant for her to do so. His grandfather was rich and treated him well, but he hated his father, so Quill hoped that his grandfather would like his father. His third wish was for his parents to be healthy forever so that they could celebrate all of his birthdays together.

However, he never thought he would lose his father forever on that day.
