Chapter 143 I Will Definitely Get You Out
Keith took a deep breath and said casually, “What smell can there be? It’s just tea.”
“No!”
Shirley was sharp. She said with a frown, “I smelled smoke.”
“Smoke?”
Keith took another deep breath. Indeed, he also smelled smoke, but he did not take it seriously. He
waved his hand and said, “Who cares? Maybe there are people nearby who have a barbecue party,”
“No, I have to go out and take a look.”
Shirley could no longer sit still. She immediately stood up and decided to walk out of the tea room to
take a closer look.
“Ah!”
Then she was totally terrified.
A fire started from downstairs. At some point, the flames went up to the second floor. Thick smoke
filled the house.
“Damn. Why is the house on fire?”
Keith was also shocked.
The fire was getting more and more fierce. They began to be surrounded by fire. The stairs were made
of pure wood. After being burnt by fire, they were about to collapse.
“What should we do? What should we do? We have to leave this place immediately…”
Keith was so anxious that he was out of his mind. He half squatted down and pointed at his back. He
said to Shirley, “Come on. I will carry you downstairs.”
Shirley was slightly stunned.
She didn’t expect this at all. Keith seemed careless, but he was so kind. Faced with fire, the first thing he
thought of was saving her, but not running away.
No matter what, she remembered his kindness.
“Can’t you see that the stairs are about to be burned down? If we take the stairs at this time, it’s like
suicide”
Shirley looked at the fire and analyzed it calmly.

fierce. If we don’t rush, we will only die!”
Keith was so anxious that he was sweating. He even wanted to knock Shirley out and carry her away.
She was pregnant now. She was like a delicate flower in the greenhouse. He had to protect her.
But she looked calm. She wasn’t like a pregnant woman at all.
“It hasn’t come up yet. Come in first.”
Shirley pulled Keith into the tea room and closed the door with a bang-
The room was very large and the surroundings were transparent. The large window was the only
escape route.
Shirley was fearless in the face of danger. She took two pieces of cloth and wet them. She used one
to cover her nose and mouth and handed the other to Keith. “Let’s try the window.”
Keith ran to the window to take a look. It wasn’t high. And there were places to step on. For a strong
tall man, it wouldn’t be so difficult.
“You are thoughtful…
Keith squatted down again and looked away. He said to Shirley, “Time waits for no one. Hurry up
and come up. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when the fire comes in!”
“No!”
Shirley refused, “It’s too time–consuming and dangerous for you to carry me down. Why don’t you
go down first and find someone to save me?”
It wasn’t high from the window to the ground. Getting down wasn’t difficult. But it would be
difficult if Keith carried her. She didn’t want to be a burden.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How can I leave first? You are pregnant. How can I leave you.
here alone? I can’t do that.”
Keith urged, “Don’t dawdle. Hurry up and come up. I am a rock–climbing expert. There won’t be at
problem.”
The fire was getting more and more fierce and the door of the tea room was burned down. Black
smoke kept pouring in, and the flames continued to attack. The situation was very urgent…
Shirley touched her belly. Thinking that there were two babies inside, she did not dare to take the
risk.
Therefore, she made up her mind and surrounded her arms on Keith’s neck. She said with gratitude,
“Whether my child and I can survive depends on you now.”
Keith took a deep breath and solemnly said, “Don’t worry I will definitely let us all be safe and
sound!”
After he finished speaking, he carried Shirley on his back and crawled out of the window.
Because he was carrying Shirley on his back, he stepped on it very carefully. It was difficult to take
every step. Moreover, he needed extremely strong arm strength to smoothly move down…
Thick smoke came with the flames, chasing Shirley and Keith like death.
Keith carried Shirley on his back and moved down step by step. Sweat dripped down his cheeks like
rain, wetting his clothes. Because he used too much strength, the blood vessels on his handsome
face bumped up, looking terrifying red. Obviously, he suffered a lot.
Right now, they were in the middle of the first and second floors. Above them were raging flames, and
below them was the hard ground.
If Keith ignored Shirley and jumped down, it might not be a problem, but with Shirley on his back,
he could only take one step at a time. This would delay his escape time.
They were stuck in the middle at this moment. They couldn’t go up or down. And they didn’t know
what to do.
Shirley looked too distressed and moved. She choked and said, “Keith, if you really can’t do it, just jump
down. This way, one of us will live!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Keith’s voice was hoarse. He bit his lips and said, “You know that I’m in pain now. Don’t irritate me.
I’ll be fine soon!”
Keith looked around and finally found a place. He gritted his teeth and said to Shirley on his back. “Look,
I will put you on the air conditioner outdoor machine there. You can land carefully. There
won’t be a problem.”
“What about you? The air conditioner outdoor machine is only enough for one person to stand. If you let
me go, where will you land?”
“Don’t worry about me first. After you land, I will follow you closely!”
“But…”

“Don’t say‘ but‘. You are so heavy. I really can’t carry you. You can go down first!”
Keith shouted impatiently.
Then he let Shirley get on the air conditioner outdoor machine with his body as a bridge.
Shirley didn’t dawdle either. She grabbed the box and carefully moved his body downwards.
At this moment, time was life. If she landed a second earlier, their chances of living would increase by a
bit…
If it was any other time, this height would be a piece of cake for her. She was agile!
But now, she was worried about the children in her belly and could only be careful. She didn’t dare to
move too much.
“I made it!”
Shirley held her breath and finally landed on the ground.
Although there were burning flames on the ground, the surroundings were empty. The danger level here
was much lower than indoors.
“Great. I’ll get down immediately!”
Keith also breathed a sigh of relief. He moved his body and was ready to jump down.
Unfortunately, the fire was too big and burned the air conditioner outdoor machine.
Before Keith could jump, his whole body was burned by the flames, and he fell to the ground.
“Damn, I’m doomed this time.”
Keith’s foot was broken by the air conditioner outdoor machine, and he couldn’t move at all.
Seeing this, Shirley hurriedly went to support him. “It’s okay. Let’s go out.”
“Don’t worry about me. The fire is too strong. You should run first!”
“Shut up!”
Shirley held Keith up and struggled through the fire.
“Stupid woman, I said let go of me. I don’t need a woman like you to save me. How… how
embarrassing!”
The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and Keith was getting weaker and weaker.
In his blurred vision, Shirley looked thin and small, but she was so determined and strong that she
made his heart throb.
“Keith, wake up. I won’t abandon you, just like how you won’t abandon me. I will definitely get you out!”
With Shirley’s fierce voice in his ears, Keith completely fainted…
