Renee broke down, pounding on the man�s chest without holding back to vent her emotions.

Even though she was a very strong woman, she was still a woman. After going through such a dangerous and terrible experience, she would feel vulnerable too.

She didn�t know why, but he was the only one she would show her vulnerable side to�

�It�s okay. It�s okay.�

Stefan, as if he was coaxing a child, took Renee into his arms, stroked her messy hair, wiped her dirty face, and said calmly, � Wait for me in the car. What do you want to get? I�ll get them for you.�

Renee obediently did as he asked. She said, �Dad�s painting and the map Mom left me� in my bedroom on the second floor!�

�Got it.�

Stefan asked the paramedics nearby to take care of Renee.

Then, he covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and rushed straight into the fire�

Everybody there was shocked. A firefighter shouted, �Mr. Hunt, stop! It�s too dangerous! Come back!�

Renee was originally panicking and was hell-bent on retrieving her parents� belongings, but she did not expect Stefan to actually risk his life going into the fire to retrieve them.

The shouts instantly jolted her awake, as if from a dream. She suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. She shouted into the fire, �Are you crazy? Come back here! I don�t want those things anymore! Come back!�

Stefan, of course, could not hear her. Braving the thick smoke, he pushed through all obstacles and looked everywhere for the things Renee mentioned.

Fortunately, the painting was hung at a high spot and had not been burned yet. Stefan used the fire extinguisher to put out the fire around it and take it down.

However, the so-called �map� Renee mentioned was in the bedroom upstairs, so getting it would be quite dangerous�

�Get back here, Stefan! Don�t be crazy! Hurry up and get back here! 11

Renee was shouting so hard her voice had gone hoarse.

She could not sit still any longer. She was prepared to rush into the fire too.

But right then, she saw Stefan charging out of the fire while protecting her father�s favorite painting.

His handsome face was also blackened by smoke like Renee�s. He was a mess. There were various burn marks on his hands, and his clothes had holes burnt into them. JrNovels.com
