A scorching beam crashed down, breaking both my legs. The smell of blood was quickly drowned out by the thick smoke. Through the flames, I saw Avery Stone frantically protecting Isabella Lane with his own body. Avery shouted, "Don't be scared, Bella. Even if it costs me my life, I'll get you out of here!" I used up the last bit of my strength, reaching desperately for the crack in the door. "Avery... save me..." I called out. Avery froze when he heard my voice, but he didn't turn around. He said, "You're my wife, you have to think about the big picture!" "Isabella is the only college graduate here. She's the main tech person. She can't die!" Main tech person, huh? I was the one who stayed up all night drawing those blueprints. Flames curled around my long hair. I stared at those two risking everything for each other, and suddenly, the pain just faded away. Avery, since you cared so much about her, then in my next life, I'd make sure you see who the real tech genius was.
