“When did you buy a place here in Sector Little?” Moira asked as she followed behind Jacob. Her eyes
widened in surprise when a room filled with toys of all sizes entered her view. “Do you have a business
selling toys?”
Heidi jumped onto one of the larger toys in delight. Moira watched as Heidi rolled on the gigantic Dixy.
“That Dixy looks familiar to me.” She said suspiciously.
“Don’t all toys look the same?” His eyes glinted.

She opened her mouth to speak.
A loud bang from outside shook the building. The windows rattled.
“Earthquake! Run!” As she yelled, Moira turned towards Heidi, but Jacob had reacted quicker. He
carried Heidi in his arms.
“Why are you standing there? Run!” Moira yelled anxiously.
“It’s not an earthquake.” Jacob said.
“It’s not an earthquake? Is there a gas leak then?” Moira glanced out the window.
Jacob’s eyes glinted. “The explosion came from upstairs.”
Upstairs? Moira looked up at the ceiling subconsciously.
Jacob’s face darkened. “You live on the fifteenth floor, right?”
“You investigated me?!” Moira glared at him.
“Let’s go downstairs.” Jacob turned towards the door. Heidi sat quietly in his embrace.
Outside the building, the crowd stared at the sky. Smoke billowed from one of the building’s floors.
Moira looked up and paled. “That’s my house!? Aunt Flora is still in there!” She made a dash towards
the entrance of the building, but Jacob grabbed her wrist.
“There’s no one inside.”
“How would you know there’s no one inside? It can’t be! Aunt Flora would be cooking in the kitchen at
this hour!” Her eyes reddened as she panicked. How would she explain to her second aunt’s family if
something had happened!
“With that amount of smoke, it must have been an explosion from a gas tank!” “But there’s no fire at
all?” The crowd murmured.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I use natural gas for cooking, I don’t have a gas tank in my home!” Moira was close to tears.
A middle-aged woman carrying a small parcel squeezed through the crowd. She looked up at the
building and staggered towards Moira in shock. “Moira, is that your house?”
Moira turned to the woman and exclaimed through her tears. “Aunt Flora, you’re not in the house! Oh,
thank heavens!”
“I just went out to pick up a parcel that I’d forgotten, and the house is on fire?!” Flora’s face paled. “But I
thought I’d shut the stove before I went out!”
Moira had calmed down. She comforted Flora, “It’s just a house. Nothing else matters if you are safe.”
Jacob, moved by the sight, walked into the crowd.
On the fifteenth floor, Jacob unlocked the door of unit 1502. Heidi squeezed in through the door and
