With a deafening bang, the tanker truck hurled the jeep tens of feet into the air. The jeep somersaulted before slamming onto the ground, breaking into pieces. Flames erupted into the sky, enveloping the scene in thick smoke.

Car alarms blared as chaos descended upon the road in an instant.

"Mommy!" the children cried out desperately, wanting to rush toward the explosion, but the bodyguards held them back.

Mr. Clemens senior stood frozen in shock, his disbelief evident in his blank stare.

At that moment, Micah rushed over. Upon witnessing the scene, he stood trembling, then darted forward, disregarding his own safety.

"Mr. Clemens!" The bodyguard tried to stop him but couldn't.

"Sadie, Sadie, come out to me!!!"

Micah went crazy, searching for Sadie's figure amidst the fire, his agitated roar sounding like the mournful cry of a wild beast.

"You promised to marry me. You promised to be with me for a lifetime. You can't just die like this, come out to me, come out " Micah searched the flames with his bare hands as if the raging fire had hidden Sadie. He had to replace her. He must replace her. Micah's clothes caught fire, and his hands were burned, but he was completely unaware. He just wanted to replace Sadie. "Mommy, Mommy."

The children broke away from the bodyguards, crying and rushing forward in search of Sadie and Micah. Their small bodies trembled with panic as they desperately sought their mother, fearing her disappearance. Despite the terrifying flames and the danger, they paid no heed, driven only by the desire to replace her.

Meanwhile, Mr. Clemens senior sat in the car, witnessing the scene unfold before him. Memories of a night over twenty years ago flashed through his mind.

More than twenty years ago, there was a car accident just like this, with a sky full of fire and heartbreaking cries. The three children in front of him reminded him of six-year-old Micah. Suddenly losing their loved ones, they were devastated and overwhelmed with despair. It would be a lifelong trauma for them.

Mr. Clemens senior had long harbored hopes of removing Sadie, viewing her as an obstacle he wished would simply vanish. Yet, now that Sadie was truly in trouble, he couldn't shake the uneasy feeling it stirred within him.

Witnessing Micah and the children so distraught, Mr. Clemens senior felt a deepening sense of sorrow and remorse. He couldn't help but ponder whether acting sooner to fulfill their wishes might have altered the outcome. Just like it was back then.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

Suddenly, Coco's scream came from behind.

Micah's heart skipped a beat as he turned around. Amidst the swirling smoke and red flames, he spotted Sadie, tearfully looking at him.

Sadie covered her mouth, trembling with tears. At this moment, she realized how much Micah loved her, and she felt foolish for not realizing it before. "Mommy!" The children saw their mother and rushed excitedly towards her.

Sadie reached out her arms and tightly embraced the children, comforting them with tears and laughter. "Don't be afraid, I am fine."

"Mommy, you scared me." Nathan's small body trembled as he cried. "I thought, I thought-"

"We thought we would never see you again." Noah wiped his tears and checked Sadie up and down. "Mommy, are you injured? Did you get hurt from the explosion?"

"No, I am fine." Sadie explained tearfully, "When the tanker truck rushed towards us just now, Rylan pulled me away in time. I was shocked by the explosion and passed out, but I just woke up."

"Mommy!" Mia cried, her little face turning red. She tightly held Sadie's neck with her chubby hands, refusing to let go, as if Mommy would disappear if she let go.
