Chapter: 4168

The clear sound resonated in the empty warehouse, giving a sense of leisureliness.

In this instant, Claudette felt that the whole world had slowed down.

She slowly turned the long roller on the side of the matches box, and the sparks from the flint ignited, flowing out of her eyes as well.

The next moment, the sparks ignited the continuous release of gas from the matches box, and with a puff, a long and vigorous flame sprouted.

As the flickering flames danced, she saw Guo Lei's face contorted in extreme fear, and heard his wailing cries.

She raised her head, shifted her gaze away from the flames, turned to look at Guo Lei, smiled calmly, and threw the burning matches box towards Guo Lei with outstretched hand.

Boom! A huge fire ignited on Guo Lei's body.

It was as if the flame of that extraordinary matches box had been amplified countless times just moments ago.

Guo Lei's cries grew increasingly loud and intense, but then gradually faded away.

At this moment, Claudia seemed to see her parents and two younger brothers' figures emerging from the blaze of fire.

She recalled her childhood when her mother would tell her bedtime stories at her bedside.

That pitiful little girl who sold matches in the matchbox's flickering light had vaguely seen her deceased grandmother's appearance.

Tears burst forth uncontrollably, making her vision blur instantly.

However, although her visual field was blurry to the extreme, the figures of her parents and brothers became even clearer.

She saw her young mother smiling at her, saw her stern father quietly hiding his hand with a cigarette from the table as if he were a child, and saw her two younger brothers excitedly running towards her with their faces full of joy.

At this moment, the world in her eyes seemed to come to a standstill.

There was nothing more important than being alive.

At this moment, Claudia was completely aware that she was in a state between dreaming and waking.

The faces of her parents and two younger brothers kept appearing before her eyes, looking incredibly real.

And yet, the fierce flames of revenge burning right in front of her were roasting her body so closely that even her tears streaming down uncontrollably had dried up.

In the past, that towering hatred had made her struggle to move forward alone;

But now, after all hatred dissipated like the fire before her eyes, she finally felt a sense of liberation for the first time.

However, compared to her, Li Xiaofen was so scared that she trembled with fear when seeing someone alive being burned by flames right in front of her at that moment.

She couldn't help but bury her head in Ye Chen's armpit, closing her eyes and refusing to look, while Ye Chen kept patting her back and whispering softly into her ear: "Don't be afraid, this is the most real face of this world."

Although Li Xiaofen was an orphan, she had been fostered by the welfare institution from a young age and grew up with care from Lee Auntie and a group of companions. JrNovels.com
