Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1427 Loss

Both looked back at the same time when they heard the sound.

Matthew had come to a certain point, wearing the suit he was going to wear today for the wedding, but running so fast that the cuffs and collar had become a mess, his forehead was subtly sweating, his breath was unsteady but he kept it down.

"Matteo, Anna might still be in there, she's on fire." Amelia's tears fell as soon as she saw Matteo.

Matteo gasped, "I know, uncles, move over and I'll see if I can break down the door."

"Okay, fine."

Amelia hurried to step back and Giancarlo took a small step back as well.

The lock was broken, so the door would not open at all, and since they could not replace tools to break the lock, they had to bang on it.

Matthew, who was of that age and had had a lot of training, was very strong and the door opened after a few blows, but made a lot of noise.

Amelia could feel the pain in Matteo's flesh and bones every time she hit him, but the expression on Matteo's face was always grim, his thin lips almost locked in a straight line as he continued to bang on the door.

Bang!

The door opened and a suffocating smell poured from inside, along with the flames, and Amelia immediately tried to run inside, but Giancarlo pulled her back. "The fire is too big to go in like that."

Amelia was furious and cursed, "You're dying, old man, and you're still thinking about this, your daughter is in there."

Amelia had lost all sense of reason, Giancarlo still had some, just as Serena arrived, she was shocked to see how fast the fire was going and quickly said. "Auntie, the fire is too big, you can't save Anna even if you go in."

"Then what should we do......"

As soon as this side's words were spoken, the three looked ahead and found that Matthew was no longer at the door.

"Brother!" Serena was startled and unconsciously took a step forward.

Giancarlo pulled her with him, "You can't go, the fire is too big."

Serena felt her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat, she bit her lower lip to save herself, "When will help come?"

"The police were called earlier, but it took time to get here, I don't know exactly how long." Amelia babbled as she wiped tears from her eyes.

Serena's whole body felt dizzy at the thought of Anna inside, and her own family, and she could barely stand.

How was she going to get out when this fire was so big? There was dizziness before her eyes, and Serena felt she was losing her footing when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her.

A familiar scent broke through her nose and Serena looked up to replace Cristian, who had arrived at some point, and Manuel standing next to him with worry and anxiety written all over his face.

When she saw Cristian, Serena felt as if she had grabbed a lifeline; her fingers clung tightly to his collar, trying to say something, but she choked and tears fell from her eyes.

Cristian looked at her like this, his thin lips half-open, his dark eyes were deep, then he looked up at the fire in the room, the fire was so big that it was impossible to see anyone inside, and if he had gone inside at that hour he would surely have been burned.

But everyone he cared about was inside.

With this in mind, Cristian let Serena go and said to Manuel, "Take care of your mom."

At those words, Serena understood Cristian's decision and immediately squeezed his arm in a death grip, "No, I forbid you to go."

Matteo was already inside, the fire was so great that he dared not think of anything else, but he could not let three important people in his life put themselves in danger at the same time.

"Good girl." Cristian caressed the nape of her neck and dropped a soft kiss on her forehead, "Your husband survived being buried in the sea, now he is just a sea of fire, he won't trap me, what are you afraid of?"

"No, I can't, no matter what you say." Serena shook her head, biting her lower lip to death as she looked at the fire inside and made a decision, "From now on, no one can enter until the fire department arrives. As worried as she was about what was going on inside, she could not be selfish and let someone else take the risk.

A fire like this was not something that could be done by bravely running inside; one more person would have been more dangerous.

Anna was in there, which she did not want to see, and Matthew had come in and she had not been able to stop him. So now all that was left was to wait for them to come out and for the fire department to arrive.

Cristian stared at her, his eyes tinged with sadness, "Why do you have to make things so difficult for yourself? You're obviously worried."

Serena bit her lower lip, "I can't put you all at risk, think of me as selfish."

After Matthew rushed into the fire, the tongues of fire that poured over him almost dried the surface water from his skin, the tongues of fire darted over the curtains, and the contents of the hotel shot up in flames. Gradually, these scenes took on a change.

Amidst the flames, the sound of screams and cries for help rang in my ears, things around me were destroyed by fire one by one, and the strong smell choked my eyes with tears. Standing in the fire, Matthew felt as if he had been transported back to the fire he had experienced as a child.

He was still very young, but he had seen his closest relative die in front of him to save his life. When the power went out in the house, his mother lit a candle and told Matthew to be still and not to run or move. It was his birthday and Matteo wanted a sweet cake, but the power went out just as his mother was leaving the house.

After leaving Matteo to himself, Mrs. Asia went out to buy a cake.

Like all children, Matteo loved the sweet taste of the cake, especially the layer of soft, smooth, sweet cream that topped it.

He also looked forward to it, and most importantly it was his birthday, he was five years old, so today he could put five candles on the cake, and this year he would make three wishes when he blew out the candles.

The first wish was that she would grow up fast so that she would not have to eat cake only on her birthday.

The second wish was for his grandfather to accept his father sooner, otherwise his father would not look too happy all day because his mother had to suffer with him, but his father did not seem to want his mother to suffer, his grandfather was rich and treated him very well, but he hated his father, so he wished for his grandfather to love his father.

His third wish was that his mom and dad would always be healthy and spend every birthday together in the future.

He never thought that he would lose his father forever on his birthday.
