Chapter 24 Fire and Blood Chapter 24 Fire and Blood It hurt so much . +10 Free Coins The burning heat seared her skin until she bit through her own lip , crushed her molars , and still couldn't bear it . In that moment , she would have rather died instantly than suffer this slow , torturous death by fire . As Natalie's life flashed before her eyes- twenty - three years of helplessness and frustration she could only close them with a bitter heart , powerless to change her fate . Then , from somewhere within the inferno , a familiar voice rang out . " Natalie ! Can you hear me ? Where are you ?
" " Natalie ! You slept with me , you can't just walk away ! Do you hear me ?! " " I haven't even told you my name yet ! Natalie ! " Baron's voice hit her ears like a hallucination . Was she imagining things ? She had loved Jensen for five years , given him everything she had , and yet he never came to save her . How could a man she'd only spent one night with risk death to come charging through the flames ? She thought maybe she'd lost her mind . Baron's face flashed through her thoughts - that kind , stubborn man - and she realized she still didn't know his name .
Maybe that was for the best . If she died , at least she wouldn't leave any burdens behind . It hurts so much ... She thought she'd finally regained her voice , but it was already too late to cry out for help . Just when she believed death was certain , a tall figure appeared in the blaze before her .

She set in just to kill Ms. Summers . I ... I have a portable fire extinguisher .
Just go ." Baron hesitated . He'd been in such a rush that he forgot to bring an extinguisher . Hearing Phantom had one was a godsend . He crouched and took it from her side . Phantom was a mess her body broken , her leg crushed . There was no way he could carry both of them out . And he resented her for failing Natalie .. She failed her duty . Death is the price . " I'll take care of your family . Rest easy . " The words were calm , almost cold . Phantom managed a faint smile before closing her ey for good . Her breathing stopped . The fire roared louder , hotter .
Baron wasted no more time . He activated the extinguisher and charged through the flames with Natalie in his arms . Outside , people rushed toward him . " Mr. Baron ! You're hurt ! Why did you go " Are you okay ? " " Shut up . " in ? " He was burned , filthy , bleeding - but the moment he spoke , the aura of command returned . He was still their king . " Call our people . Prep an OR . I'm performing the surgery myself . " The crowd panicked . " Mr. Baron , you barely escaped from Murica with your life . You can't risk any more injuries .
