The Foreign Softness

##Chapter 86 Fire

After Candra held Denis for a long time, she just walked in. The little boy smiled very sweetly, he returned to his cheerful appearance again.

After breakfast, Candra invites Denis to play in the backyard. Maybe because the backyard faces the mountains and is not easy to find. When I first came here, Candra also accompanied Denis to play in the backyard.

There was a small trench in the backyard, Candra barefoot and stepped on the water in the trench. He took Denis to catch a little fish. I watched quietly on the stone steps from a distance. I hope Denis can continue to live these quiet and happy times forever.

However, all of this is just my wishful thinking. Aunt Siti ran over here holding Candra's phone in a hurry, "Sir, Miss Julia fell down the stairs."

Candra's face, which was still full of smiles, immediately changed.

He carried Denis out of the river, then walked to my side and lowered Denis in front of me. Then, he picked up the phone that Aunt Siti gave him and hurried away.

"When did you come back? Denis will be looking for you."

I was a little nervous for a while and couldn't bear to ask questions.

"I don't know, you take care of Denis first." Candra no longer cares about us.

Suddenly I feel ridiculous. What a quiet and happy time, all because there was no Julia.

"Auntie, is Uncle coming back?"

Denis' star-like eyes were filled with a sense of loneliness.

"Yes, don't worry."

I pulled Denis' little hand, "Auntie will take you to catch a little fish."

We held hands and came to the trench with bare feet. In a small basin on the edge of the trench, the little fish that Candra caught were swimming agilely.

Denis crouched down on the edge of the trench while watching me bend over to catch a fish.

I held a net that was as big as a bowl with a long handle. When I saw some fish swimming, I took advantage of this situation to catch it. After some failure, I finally got some fish.

Denis clapped his hands and shouted, "Great mom!"

This little boy did not realize he had misnamed, he was already immersed in this simple excitement, his little face was filled with brilliant sunlight.

I looked at my son with a sweet smile at my aunt's corner. I'm so excited for this mother call she didn't realize.

'Son, I look forward to the day when you really think of me as a mother, '" I thought.

It didn't feel like the whole day had passed. The sun has sunk to the west and Candra is still not back.

Denis began to be displeased, he sat on a small bench with his small head bowed and his lonely face, "Why has uncle not returned yet? Denis misses Uncle."

These few days, Candra had been taking care of this little boy. This little boy had gotten used to living together with Candra. Under his subconscious, he probably already considered Candra a father.

But what about Candra? He was on his daughter's side.

I touched Denis' head and said gently, "Denis, uncle has something to deal with, he misses Denis too, but he has to solve this problem and come back, okay?"

"I know, Julian's brother is hurt. Uncle is taking care of him. I'll wait for Uncle to come back."

This little boy remembered he had an older sister named Julia and he called her big sister. My heart felt sad for a while. This innocent little boy doesn't know his older brother Julian probably won't acknowledge him as his younger brother.

It's dark and Candra's not back yet. I took Denis to bed early. When I fell asleep, I was still thinking how can Candra not come back tomorrow morning? How am I going to go to work? I can't leave Denis here alone.

Not knowing how long, the sleepy me felt suffocated like someone was strangling my neck. I couldn't breathe, so I pulled over with my hand. The thing I didn't expect was that I actually touched both people's hands. That hand was tightening my neck. Suddenly I opened my eyes and saw the sour face of Aunt Siti, her hands were suffocating my neck.

"You ... um...."

I don't know the reason why Aunt Siti wanted to kill me, my instincts wanted to scream for help and desperately tried to let go of Aunt Siti's hand with both hands. The woman who today still had her eyes and expression still friendly, also shed tears of sympathy for Denis even wanted to kill me.

"There is no need to fight anymore, today if you are not dead then my family will die. The man named Stella caught my son and daughter. I can't let my kids die, so I have to kill you!" bibi Siti muttered while choking my neck hard and gritting her teeth.

My heart was suddenly shocked, the mastermind was Stella. He started making trouble again, no wonder the lady who was still so good this afternoon was now about to kill me.

She looked at Aunt Siti's face that was filled with veins, with a terrible expression and her hands that were suffocating my neck. Denis immediately approached and tried to take off Aunt Siti's hand, "Don't kill my mother! Don't kill my mother!"

"Auntie!"

Aunt Siti raised her wrist and waved it loudly, "Side!"

By this time, the woman who used to be nice to Denis had completely lost her kindness. He just has the will to kill me.

Denis was pushed to the point of falling, his small body suddenly rolling onto the floor. Not knowing how Denis hit, Denis yelled loudly, then there was no sound anymore.

This scene was like ten thousand steel needles that suddenly pierced my heart. My eyes reddened, I tried to bring out my last energy and put my hand under the pillow. I hid a knife there. I held the knife and without hesitation stabbed into Aunt Siti's chest.

From that day on Joan suddenly came and I held Denis to hide in a dark room. I always worried Joan would come again. So, I went to the kitchen and took this knife, and put it under my pillow just in case. I didn't think today, it was this knife that saved my life and Denis.

The knife stabbed Aunt Siti in the chest. Aunt Siti took her hand off my laher while shouting and fell backwards.

I don't care if I've killed someone or not. I jumped out of bed and rolled to the other side of the bed. Denis was unconscious, there was a big lump on his forehead, but no bleeding.

I held Denis and found a cell phone. I quickly searched Candra's phone number.

No one answered the call.

I ran outside holding Denis. There was a shrill voice from Aunt Siti behind me, "You won't be able to escape. I burned this villa. I killed you and I won't be able to live anymore, so I lit a fire."

My head buzzed for a moment, my heart suddenly turned cold.

Siti's aunt has long been determined to die. He knew if he killed us, he would definitely not be able to survive anymore. So, he chose to burn himself to end his life.

At this moment, I was standing at the bedroom door, what I saw was a burning fire. All the wooden equipment in the outer hall had been burnt, flames were spreading everywhere and thick smoke was enveloping us.

I hugged Denis and coughed for a moment because of the thick smoke. I'll close the door immediately. The phone that I didn't close was suddenly connected and Candra's low voice came from inside, "Hello, talk."

I regained my senses from my daydream, then I turned to the phone and said in a sad voice, "Candra, today Denis and I are dead because of you!"

The phone fell to the floor. The fire had reached the bedroom door. I heard the sturdy wooden door burn and let out a crackling sound. I, uh, held Denis unconscious and put Denis in bed. Then, I tore while biting the sheets with my teeth. The sheets became hollow and I tore them into several long pieces.

I connected this piece of cloth from end to end, tied it with a dead knot, then tied one end to Denis' body. I took her to the window and lowered Denis with the cloth slowly.

From the top floor to the ground, the height was about five meters. I carefully lowered the cloth rope in my hand as I watched Denis descend to the ground frantically and carefully. Until Denis' small body landed smoothly on the ground, I removed the cloth. Then, I stepped on the window sill and jumped down.

With a creaking sound, as I landed, I heard a broken voice from my left leg. I have a broken bone. But I didn't care, I limped to Denis' side, then removed the cloth rope from his body and hugged the still unconscious little boy in my arms.

One by one the fire trucks rang and broke the silence of the night in the mountains. I don't know who called the fire department. There are not many long-term residents in this place except those who occasionally take a vacation. All the bodyguards Candra had sent to guard the villa were nowhere to be seen.

The whole villa building has been engulfed in flames, thick smoke coming out of the windows of my room and Denis. My tears streamed down my eyes while covering Denis' mouth and nose. I carried and limped towards the gate of the villa.

Police cars and fire trucks roared. When I saw a policeman approaching, I could no longer support my body. I fell to the ground hugging Denis.

I said, "There's still someone in the house."

After I finished speaking, I had already lost my strength. I let a policeman lift me up on his back and put me in a police car. Denis was carried by a policeman. I heard the policeman calling, "There's a wounded man here, send an ambulance!"

Ten minutes later, Denis and I were taken to the hospital. Denis's wound has been treated and he's still in a coma. My knee and left ankle are broken. My body was soaked in cold sweat from the pain, but I was very lucky, because neither Denis nor I died.

When Denis and I were pushed to the emergency department, Candra came in a hurry. His body was filled with a cold aura and his clear eyes were filled with deep worry. He held the doctor who was treating me at the door of the ward and said, "Doctor, what happened to my woman and child?"

"Your wife has a broken bone and your child has a mild concussion."

The doctor thinks I really am Candra's wife.

Candra looked relieved, then she stepped in.

At this moment, Denis was lying on the bed next to me. I begged the doctor to send her to another ward.

Candra came to check on me first, she walked up to me quickly, "Clara?"
