Chapter hundred and twenty four
Jason could barely see anything including his feet. The smoke had already engorged the whole room. He could see the fire on the roof and part of the walls. He had a bad feeling that the roof would give way and crush him to death, if he doesn't get out on time.
The smoke made his eyes itch and then the coughing started. Jason had never felt so hot like this. It was like he was being roasted on a hot oven. He took a deep breath but that was a mistake. His lungs burned as he fought for oxygen.
"Nolani! Nolani! Nolani!"
He called her name severally but he couldn't make any distinctive sound of a human being in the room. He almost gave up and decided to turn back. But a crazy thought entered his mind and head. What if he abandons his mission and the little girl's body was found burned to a crisp the next day? Will he be able to live with the guilt? Probably not! Since the girl entered the Godforsaken room for him.
