Tears blurred my vision and I could feel blood gushing from beneath me. My fingers left horrifying bloodstains on the door as they became raw and bloody.
My strength ebbed away with the oxygen in the room. Just before I passed out, I heard a familiar voice.
Jacob had finally returned. But I no longer had the strength to cry for help.
My weak knocking was drowned by the flames and he rushed into the house only to carry Lily out first.
At that moment, I lost the will to survive. Luckily, my best friend returned just in time to save me.
I was saved, but I lost my baby. To rescue me, my best friend jumped from the second floor and broke her leg. Even after hanging up the call, she ignored her own pain and kept comforting me.
My tears fell uncontrollably onto her hands, but she was even more upset and full of guilt and said, "If only I hadn't listened to them and hadn't gone out. I should've stayed with you after knowing you were pregnant. Men are never reliable ..."
No sooner had she finished complaining than her phone rang.
It was Robin, her husband, angrily calling to accuse her on his brother's behalf and said, "Why did you yell at my brother? Are you following your friend in acting crazy? I haven't even questioned you about the explosion and now you're trying to accuse us first?"
"My brother said that when he got home, apart from Lily being locked inside, the house was empty. You and your friend had disappeared long before that!"
"I think you did this on purpose, didn't you? You've caused all kinds of jealous drama before and failed, so today you went for something bigger? Do you know this is attempted murder? You could go to jail for this!"
"Divorce won't be enough. Sure, you can get divorced, but you're also going to jail!"
He ranted without giving my friend a chance to explain and hung up. It seemed that the two brothers only had any patience when it came to Lily.
My best friend stared at the phone screen for a long time before coming back to her senses.
She was so angry that she smashed the phone on the bed and gritted her teeth, "Fine, let's divorce! Do they really think they're that great? If I'd known what kind of men they were, I'd never have married! The Cruise Family sure raised two loyal lapdogs, they've missed their calling as dog trainers!"
