Chapter 66（The final chapter）

Frank Richardson, who had just been promoted to captain, also rushed over hurriedly: "Captain Sophie Lawrence."

Sophie Lawrence coldly swept her eyes over those who were unwilling to cooperate. There was already a tinge of anger in her brows and eyes. She thought to herself that at this critical moment of rescue, these people's non - cooperation was simply making a joke of lives. How could it not be infuriating?

"Those who don't cooperate will be dragged away directly." Sophie Lawrence's voice was firm and cold, without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes!" The team members replied in unison.

"Stop! If you dare to touch me again, I'll call the police!" A man in a suit who was unwilling to cooperate was full of rage and was struggling fiercely with the firefighters. His flushed face was full of unwillingness and anger, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Sophie Lawrence walked forward without hesitation, grabbed the man in the suit by the collar, and yanked him aside. With her eyes blazing, she stared straight into the man's eyes and said sternly, "If you obstruct the rescue again, I'll send you to the police station right now!"

After that, Sophie Lawrence cast her sharp eyes on the other people who were unwilling to cooperate. Her eyes seemed to be able to pierce through their hearts.

"Can you afford the consequences of hindering the firefighters from performing their tasks!" Her voice echoed in the air, carrying an indisputable majesty.

The few people were a little intimidated by Sophie Lawrence's roar, but when they saw that she was a woman, they were all unwilling to give in so easily. One of them stuck out his neck and said provocatively, "Do you know who I am? How dare you touch me?"

Sophie Lawrence didn't bother to waste more words with them. She looked at Mark and Frank Richardson and said in a decisive tone, "Just drag them away. I'll take the responsibility if anything happens."

With Sophie Lawrence's words, the team members became more efficient in their actions. In just two or three minutes, the fire lane had been completely cleared.

However, just these two or three minutes of delay were enough for the fire to spread rapidly...

Sophie Lawrence didn't carry any rescue equipment with her. She could only stand downstairs anxiously, watching helplessly as the team members rushed towards the 11th floor. At this time, all the residents in the community gathered downstairs. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the burning floor, and the atmosphere at the scene was tense. Sophie Lawrence's heart also tightened involuntarily. She prayed silently in her heart that the team members would be safe and rescue the trapped people smoothly.

There were two trapped people on the burning floor, an old man and a child. Frank Richardson made a prompt decision and immediately arranged for a fire ladder.

Just then, a child saw such an amazing fire engine and his eyes were full of curiosity and excitement. He couldn't help leaving his parents' side and ran towards the fire engine.

At that time, the teammates upstairs were breaking windows and removing anti - theft windows, and from time to time, tiles on the wall would fall. The sound of the falling tiles was particularly harsh in this tense atmosphere, and each fall seemed to hit people's hearts.

Seeing a falling tile about to hit the child, Sophie Lawrence's body reacted before her mind. Instinctively, she rushed towards the child, grabbed the child, and then quickly rolled aside twice before stopping.

"Bang - " The tile hit the ground heavily and instantly shattered into countless pieces. The clear and terrifying sound of shattering made the onlookers gasp in horror. Mrs. Sang was so frightened that her heart seemed to jump into her throat. Her hands were tightly clasped to her chest, and her eyes were full of horror.

The child's parents immediately rushed over and said guiltily, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

Sophie Lawrence handed the child back to the adults, gently rubbed her slightly sprained wrist, and said gently, "Watch the child carefully."

The child's parents nodded hurriedly and hugged the child tightly as they retreated to one side.

Sophie Lawrence looked at the child who was still a little惊魂未定 (shocked) in his parents' arms and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, showing a faint smile. She thought to herself that she couldn't stand by when she had the ability to help. Some things were like being engraved in her bones and had already become her instinct. For her, saving people was an instinct deep in her marrow.

If Henry Mitchell were here right now, he would probably think she was selfish again... This thought suddenly flashed through Sophie Lawrence's mind, and a tinge of bitterness welled up in her heart.

Ten minutes later, the trapped people safely reached the ground on the fire ladder. Seeing that the trapped people were safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour later, the fire was completely controlled and extinguished. Immediately, a chorus of cheers rang out at the scene. The sound filled the entire community, full of the joy of surviving a disaster.

Mark, Frank Richardson and the other teammates said goodbye to Sophie Lawrence in these cheers and then got into the car and left.

After they left, Sophie Lawrence and Mrs. Sang also returned home and continued to wrap the dumplings that they hadn't finished before.

After wrapping the dumplings, Sophie Lawrence casually took two pictures and posted them on WeChat Moments.

She captioned it: Mom - made dumplings are the best in the world.

Soon, Ethan replied below: "Sophie, I want to eat too!"

Then, Jason Lu also replied: "+1."

Before Sophie Lawrence had time to type a reply, Ethan's video call came in.

In the video, Ethan made a cute and coquettish expression, his eyes wide open, bright and full of expectation as he said, "Sophie, can I come and eat now?"

Sophie Lawrence looked at Mrs. Sang. Mrs. Sang smiled and said kindly, "Then let's wrap some more. Wait for your friends to come and eat together."

When Ethan heard Mrs. Sang's voice, he immediately said obediently, "Thank you, auntie!"

Half an hour later.

Jason Lu and Ethan arrived at the place to eat dumplings according to the address sent by Sophie Lawrence, and they also bought some gifts and fruits.

Ethan was a cute little elf wherever he went. As soon as he got on the dining table, in just a few minutes, he made Mrs. Sang laugh heartily.

As they were talking, Ethan brought the topic to Jason Lu.

"Auntie Sang, you don't know how wonderful my brother is. He not only cooks delicious food but is also very good at doing housework. My mother can't even compare with him."

"But it's just like this. I haven't seen him bring a sister - in - law home yet. It really worries me to death." As Ethan said this, he frowned. He really seemed to be extremely worried about his brother's marriage.

Looking at Ethan's pained expression, Mrs. Sang asked in surprise, "Really?"

Jason Lu tapped Ethan on the head lightly and pretended to be angry as he said, "Ethan, don't ruin my reputation."

Then, Jason Lu looked at Mrs. Sang and said earnestly, "Auntie, I think marriage is a major event in life. It must be treated with caution and not be sloppy."

He paused slightly, and there was a tinge of emotion in his eyes as he continued, "As long as you have truly loved, even if two people can't be together in the end for various reasons, it is also a fortunate thing to part on good terms."

After Jason Lu finished speaking, the air was unusually quiet for a moment, as if everyone was thinking about his words.

Ethan blinked his eyes, snorted disdainfully, and then turned to look at Sophie Lawrence.

"Sophie, if you were not married, would you marry someone like my brother?"
