Ethan climbed out of the window with Joanna on his back.
Due to the weight he was carrying, every step he took was careful and laborious. His arms needed a lot of strength just to hold on…
Smoke billowed and flames raged, "pursuing" them like the Grim Reaper.
Ethan moved down one step at a time. Sweat dripped down his face like rain, wetting his clothes. Bulging veins could be seen on his handsome face that was flushed red from using too much force. He was obviously having a really difficult time and was rapidly running out of stamina.
They were now between the first floor and the second floor. The blazing fire was above them and the hard ground was below them.
Ethan could have just jumped down if it wasn't for Joanna. However, with Joanna on his back, he could only descend step by step, which meant that they were escaping rather slowly.
They were stuck in the middle at the moment, unable to move up or down. They did not know what to do.
