Sophie Lawrence paused for a moment but still walked slowly over.
"Why are you here?"
Henry Mitchell frowned, his voice flat: "I saw it all on the news."
Sophie Lawrence murmured a low "Hmm" and suddenly noticed the gauze on Henry Mitchell's wrist.
"Your hand...?"
Henry Mitchell raised his hand and waved it: "It's all right now, but I still need to rest for a while. Healing Haven has also approved a few days of leave for me."
After that, he immediately asked, "Shall we go for a walk?"
Sophie Lawrence was silent for a long time and finally nodded.
The two walked slowly along the roadside, with no direction or destination.
"Was the man who sacrificed married?" Henry Mitchell asked suddenly.
Sophie Lawrence shook her head: "He said he hadn't made anything of himself yet and didn't dare to hold up the girl."
"What was the deal with the rope that Mark was holding?"
Sophie Lawrence was startled and began to speak in a low voice.
"Each firefighter's firefighting uniform has the blood type written on the right chest badge on the front, and there is also a DRD rescue - towing device on the back."
"But whether it's the blood - type label on the chest or the towing rope on the back, we hope we'll never have to use them..."
The two walked all the way to the Fire Brigade Station.
Sitting on the bench beside the Fire Brigade Station, feeling the wind blowing, there were some things that Sophie Lawrence understood even without being said.
The next day.
When Sophie Lawrence woke up in the familiar room, she was still a bit dazed.
Henry Mitchell suddenly pushed the door open and saw that Sophie Lawrence was already awake.
"You fell asleep yesterday, so I just brought you back directly."
"I've already sent a message to Mom."
Sophie Lawrence nodded unconsciously with an "Oh" and got out of bed.
Seeing that Henry Mitchell was still wearing home clothes, Sophie Lawrence then remembered that he would be resting these days.
"Mom said your promotion certificate has arrived, right?"
Sophie Lawrence paused in her motion of changing clothes and nodded: "Yes."
After the promotion, although the working hours were still 8 o'clock, she could get off work at 5 p.m., and she had both days off on weekends and could have normal holidays.
Unfortunately, Sophie Lawrence didn't tell Henry Mitchell any of this.
By the time Sophie Lawrence had changed her clothes and finished washing up, Henry Mitchell had already made breakfast.
"After breakfast, I'll drive you to the Fire Brigade Station."
Sophie Lawrence pursed her lips. In a trance, she seemed to see the old Henry Mitchell again.
He could not only detect the changes in her mood at any time but also take care of every aspect of her life.
When Henry Mitchell sent Sophie Lawrence to the Fire Brigade Station, Henry's family also just arrived.
"I'm here. You can go back," said Sophie Lawrence.
Then she unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car, walking towards Henry's father and mother.
At this time, Mark and Frank Richardson, who were standing at the entrance dressed in the formal flame - blue uniforms, also came forward to greet them: "Uncle, Auntie."
The journey from the entrance of the brigade to the playground in the camp area was especially difficult for Henry's father and mother.
Henry Mitchell didn't leave immediately. Looking at the figures of Henry's father and mother, at that moment, he thought of himself.
Before long, a passionate and grief - stricken shout suddenly came from the air.
"Salute to the families!"
Memories from the depths of his soul suddenly flooded into his mind, and Henry Mitchell felt as if his heart had been suddenly stabbed by something and jerked violently.
Not long after the burial ceremony in the afternoon, it was already Sophie Lawrence's quitting time.
In the past, she always went home in the evening, but now it was so early.
The moment she walked out of the fire station gate, Sophie Lawrence still felt very unreal.
She had just walked a short distance when Jason Lu's car suddenly stopped in front of her.
"Why are you here?" Sophie Lawrence exclaimed in surprise.
Jason Lu unlocked the car: "Get in the car and we'll talk."
Sophie Lawrence opened the door and got in, completely unaware that not far behind Jason Lu's car, Henry Mitchell's car was parked there.
