The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Xavier climbed out of the window with Renee on his back.

Due to the weight he was carrying, every step he took was careful and laborious. His arms needed a lot of strength just to hold on…

Smoke billowed and flames raged, “pursuing” them like the Grim Reaper.

Xavier moved down one step at a time. Sweat dripped down his face like rain, wetting his clothes. Bulging veins could be seen on his handsome face that was flushed red from using too much force. He was obviously having a really difficult time and was rapidly running out of stamina.

They were now between the first floor and the second floor. The blazing fire was above them and the hard ground was below them.

Xavier could have just jumped down if it wasn’t for Renee. However, with Renee on his back, he could only descend step by step, which meant that they were escaping rather slowly.

They were stuck in the middle at the moment, unable to move up or down. They did not know what to do.

Renee was touched and felt bad for Xavier, so she said while choking back tears, “ Xavier, if you can’t hang on anymore, just jump down. That way… at least one of us will survive! ”

“Nonsense!”

Xavier’s voice was hoarse. He said with much difficulty, “If you know I’m having a hard time, stop being annoying. It’ll be over soon!”

He looked around and finally found a foothold, but he no longer had any strength left. He told Renee through gritted teeth, “Listen, I’ll put you on the air-con box. You should be able to climb down from there…”

“But what about you? The air-con box can only fit one person. If you put me over there, would you have any foothold?”

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be right behind you!”

“But…”

“No buts. You’re too heavy, I can’t hang on any longer. Go!”

Xavier shouted impatiently.

Then, using his body like a bridge, he transferred Renee to the nearby air-con box. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Renee stopped hesitating. She grabbed the box and carefully climbed down from it.

At a crucial moment like this, every second was valuable. The earlier she reached the ground, the higher their chances of living…

Normally, climbing down from this height was a trifle for a healthy and agile woman like her.

But now, she had to be mindful of the children in her belly, so she had to move carefully. She did not dare to perform any big movement.

“I did it! I did it!”

After some struggle, Renee finally succeeded in reaching the ground.

Although some parts of the ground were also burning, it was an open space, so it was much less dangerous here than it was indoors.

“Great, I’ll be right there!”

Xavier also heaved a sigh of relief. He adjusted his position, preparing to jump down.

Unfortunately, the fire was so strong that it destroyed the air-con box.

Before Xavier could jump off, his body was already burned by the fire. He fell to the ground together with the box.

“Shit!”

Xavier’s foot was broken, smashed by the air-con box. He could not move it at all.

Renee quickly went over to support him, “It’s okay, let’s get out of here!”

“Don’t worry about me. The fire is spreading too quickly. You have to run away by yourself!”

“Shut up!”

Renee lifted him up with much difficulty and novelxo they staggered through the flames.

“You stupid woman, let me go! I don’t need a woman to save me! It’s… embarrassing!”

The thicker the smoke, the weaker Xavier became.

In his blurry vision, Renee’s thin and petite body seemed so determined and strong. It made his heart flutter.

“Give it up, Xavier! I won’t leave you behind, just like you wouldn’t leave me behind earlier! I’ll definitely save you!”

With Renee’s fierce voice still ringing in his ears, Xavier passed out…
