The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Who Lit the Fire

Bale had just missed the two of them by the time he reached the restroom

He was about to turn around and search elsewhere when he heard Armyra’s scream. “Fire” Somebody help! Fire!”

Bale took off running toward the sound. Flames were already tearing through the carpet by the elevator; they’d climbed high enough to melt the decorations on the ceiling

Molten chunks kept falling, mixing with the fire below to form a wall of flame that sealed off the elevator entirely.

Thick smoke poured inward. Amyra’s coughing echoed through it. “Yunice, what are you standing there for? Help me put it out! Hit the elevator button! Did the fire system cut the power?”

“Amyra! Amyra, you wench! I’m gonna burn to death! Yunice? Yunice?”

Amyra ran off and grabbed a fire extinguisher from the emergency shaft. By the time Bale. arrived, others had joined in, blasting the flames with extinguishers.

White smoke collided with the fire, battling for ground.

Once the blaze was finally under control, Bale charged into the elevator and swiftly pulled Amyra

out.

Amyra dropped to the floor, gasping for air, her smoke–choked brain taking a while to clear.

She looked around–and suddenly realized Yunice was still inside. She cried out, “Yunice’s still in there!”

“It’s fine, it’s fine; the fire’s out…” Bale shielded Amyra in his arms and looked back toward the elevator.

But if the fire was out, why isn’t Yunice coming out?

Yunice couldn’t move–though she desperately wanted to. She sat huddled in the farthest corner of the elevator car, her tear–filled eyes fixed on the smoke still swirling before her.

The fire had scorched everything it touched into black. Even through the haze, Yunice could see clearly.

She saw them enter. She saw Amyra get rescued. But no one saved her. No one saved her. No one saved her….

Fine, then I’ll walk out myself.

She tried to move, to stand, but her fingers wouldn’t respond. Her body was locked up rusted machine–creaking and grinding, but refusing to act.

Chapter 235 Who Lit the Fire

Finished

Tears streamed down her cheeks, though her jaw clenched tightly. She grabbed at the elevator wall, trying to push herself up; the effort made the veins at her temple bulge.

It was no use. Willpower couldn’t overpower paralysis.

A whimper escaped her lips. Yunice bit down hard–she didn’t want to cry out loud.

There had been harder moments. More painful ones. And she’d never cried then….

The heat, gosh, the fire had burned.

Wyatt kicked open the door to a suite and dragged Yunice into the bathroom.
