"Ah!" Amanda Jenkins screamed in shock, closing her eyes tightly and hugging Kent close.
After a while, the water tank stabilized, but from the sounds outside, it was clear that the area around the water tank had caught fire.
"Amanda Jenkins, you are so timid," Kent, nestled in Amanda's embrace, calmly said, "Don't be afraid, Dad will definitely come to save us! He'll be here soon!"
Amanda's eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face.
Would Lucas come to save them?
He didn't want them anymore...
In the darkness, Kent's small hands gently wiped Amanda's tears. "Don't be scared, it's safe here, the fire can't reach us."
Amanda, choking up, worried that Kent would be afraid. She dared not tell Kent that actually, it was not safe at all, it was only a temporary shelter from the fire.
The collapsing house outside could potentially knock over the water tank.
