Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 340

My eyes were glued to the screen, trying to catch Hazel's reaction. But in that instant, Evan's photo

tumbled down unexpectedly, causing Hazel to flinch instinctively.

The place was suddenly swept by an eerie gust, the flames leaping higher, sparks flying in all

directions.

The next second, the photo that had fallen stood upright again, as if by magic. The flickering light cast

Evan's face in the photo in a ghastly distortion, his pupils unsettling, floating as if alive. Hazel, terrified,

crashed onto the ground with a chilling scream.

Farley and Jaylan also shivered, eyes wide with horror as they stared at the photo.

Then, in a twist beyond belief, the photo caught fire as it floated away, burning rapidly. The face in the

photo grinned more grotesquely as the photo, carried by a gust of fiery sparks, flew towards Hazel and

set her clothes ablaze with a whoosh.

The fire in the dark, isolated space burned brightly and ominously. The person filming the video

exclaimed, "Holy smokes! Her clothes are on fire!"

Hannah responded sharply, "Quiet!"

The voice whispered urgently, "It's lit, you see that?"

Hazel, sitting on the ground, was screaming continuously, rolling and crawling backwards in a dreadful

panic. Her cries were bone-chilling.

It was only then that Jaylan, previously stunned into inaction, sprang into motion, rushing to his

mother's side. But even as Hazel's screams intensified, he seemed clueless about how to extinguish

the flames, pacing wildly in desperation.

Farley was the quicker thinker. He ran over and began stomping on the flames engulfing Hazel's

clothes.

Jaylan finally snapped out of it, grabbed some grass by the roadside, and started beating the flames on

his mother, all the while crying out for her.

Hazel screamed in agony. as she rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire.

Soon, the fire was out, but Hazel lay motionless.

Hannah and I were speechless, staring at the screen, goosebumps prickling our skin, hands rubbing

our arms in disbelief.

Hannah kept muttering, "Holy hell... Holy hell..."

I was too shocked to even close my gaping mouth.

Jaylan was shouting for his mother, his voice hoarse and barely recognizable. He tried to lift her, but it

was impossible.

Then he roared at Farley, "Dad, help me out! Quick!"

Farley, as if finally grasping the situation, trembled over and together with Jaylan, they managed to get

Hazel into the car. Not even bothering with the still-burning fire, they drove off in haste.

Hannah burst into laughter, "Karma's a bitch, isn't it? Evan's spirit must be making a statement."

I glanced at her and said, "Cut the crap. It was just the air currents from the fire that set the photo on

fire. Didn't you see it was mounted on foam board? That stuff's flammable."

I explained with my know-how, "Still, Hazel's lucky if she doesn't end up dead or seriously burnt!"

The person filming it chimed in, "She's burnt, and it looks bad... They let the kid drown, and now the

kid's getting back at them with fire!"

The person on the screen replied, "Look, the fire's not out yet."

The camera panned back to the burning area, the embers still glowing red and spreading.

"No worries! I didn't harm that kid, so he wouldn't hurt me!" the person filming quipped. "I'm off to check

it out." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The sounds of the car door closing and his grumbling followed, "Man, how am I supposed to put this

out? I might as well let it burn itself out." Drąмanоvels.com

Hannah growled, "Stop dawdling! End it now!" With that, she turned off the video.

I said to Hannah teasingly, "So... am I supposed to go to the hospital to check on them?"

I couldn't resist a wicked chuckle but said nothing more.
