Desire Me If You Can-Chapter 34
“Hey, Ezra... ... This won’t work. Dian... ... Is she already in? Then... ... .”
Wilkins, who had been calling out several names in a row, grabbed his head. Oh no, there’s no one!
“If there’s no one to go in with me, I’ll go.”
Just as he was about to give up, a voice of salvation was heard from behind him. Wilkins, who had turned around with a smile, was startled and froze. Grayson was looking at him with the same smiling face as before.
“Oh, no, it’s okay. You have no experience... ... .”
Wilkins had been trying to ignore Grayson’s suspicions since earlier. Naturally, he turned his head away in a hurry this time too. However, Grayson answered naturally.
“I’ve trained enough over the past month, so I can do it. And isn’t this something that needs to be done someday? You always say that there aren’t enough people to deploy to the field. That’s what everyone says.”
He wasn’t wrong. But sending Ace and a rookie alone? The fire had spread a lot, and since they had to go inside directly, the risk was high. I don’t want to imagine it, but a rookie is no help in an emergency. When faced with a situation they’ve never seen before, their bodies just freeze. Then Dane... ... .
Wilkins, who had been imagining things for a long time, thought to himself, “As expected.” He couldn’t lose Ace like that.
“No, it’s really okay. There was no need to... ... .”
He kept refusing, but he couldn’t drag it out for too long. In the end, Dane, who had been watching him as he couldn’t come to a conclusion, adjusted his mask as if he didn’t care, and moved first behind Wilkins, who was embarrassed.
“I’ll go in.”
“Now, wait, wait! Dane!”
Wilkins stopped Dane, who was about to run into the house right away. There was nothing he could do in this urgent situation. He may be crazy, but he’s just crazy, so maybe he can do things better than expected. Unless you encounter an emergency, it’s just a matter of following Dane well.
Wilkins made up his mind and spoke to Grayson this time.
“Okay, if you want it that much, you go in. But don’t push yourself too hard, and just follow Dane. If something happens, never come out alone and always take care of Dane... ... Got it?” freeweɓnøvel.com
As Grayson said, it was something he had to do someday. Of course, even if it was only for a year, there was always a shortage of manpower. Even if it was Miller, if it could be of help, there was no reason to refuse, right?
Grayson answered with a smile as he continued to rationalize himself and repeat his words of advice.
“I understand. Then I’ll be off too... ... .”
For some reason, he hurriedly put on his mask and rushed into the house with his equipment. Dane had already entered with a hose.
“You can’t act on your own, you have to follow Dane’s instructions!”
Leaving Wilkins’s desperate cries behind, Grayson also disappeared inside.
The uneasy sound of burning furniture breaking and falling continued from all directions. The hot heat seemed to burn his skin. If it weren’t for the firefighting equipment, it would have been difficult to breathe. Even in such a situation, Grayson silently followed Dane, who steadily held the hose and sprayed water while moving forward. However, he was already regretting it after less than 5 minutes of entering.
It was too reckless of a decision to just want to see Wilkins’ flustered face.
That’s when he thought to himself. Suddenly, a part of the ceiling collapsed with a loud bang.
“Wow!”
Grayson, surprised, exclaimed and stepped back without realizing it. I almost got in trouble. He whistled briefly at the sight of the large lump that had fallen in front of him, then laughed and joked.
“Wow, I thought I would burn to death, but I almost died because my head was cracked.”

Hahaha, he burst into a cheerful laugh, but Dane didn’t even look at him and just kept moving forward. Grayson stopped laughing and tilted his head with a frown.
“This isn’t funny.”
He muttered as if talking to himself and started walking again, following Dane who was already blurred by the smoke. He was breathing oxygen, but it was still difficult to breathe. The heat felt outside of his fire suit was incredible, and he was nervous in the life-threatening flames. It was even more so because he had to maintain his breathing in the limited space of the mask. However, Dane didn’t stop, but rather went deeper inside.
Isn’t that kid hot?
Grayson frowned and looked at Dane’s back. Only when he felt the hose he was holding being dragged did he have no choice but to continue walking. The room was covered in thick smoke and filled with red flames, making it difficult to secure a view. But Dane continued to pour water as if he had been here many times before.
“Charles!”
For the first time since he had entered the house, Dane made a sound. It was only calling the dog’s name. He called the dog repeatedly with all his might, but it was easily drowned out by the noise of the buildings being destroyed here and there.
“It’s no use.”
Grayson yelled at Dane. For the first time, Dane looked back at him. Grayson grumbled, feeling a small sense of accomplishment.
“He’s dead anyway, so there’s no response.”
Dane stared at him without saying a word and kicked the door in front of him hard with one foot. The door, weakened by the fire, flew away miserably, and Dane went straight into the room.
“Huh.”
Grayson let out a sigh of shock. That bastard was ignoring me right now, right?
The veins in his temples swelled. Grayson quickly walked to the room Dane had entered. Just as he was about to go inside, he ran into Dane, who was coming out after finishing his search.
A loud noise like thunder rang out. It seemed like something had collapsed again. Dane looked like he was grimacing through his mask.
“What? Get out of the way.”
Without giving Grayson a chance to step back, Dane pushed him away as soon as he spoke.
“Hey, hey! Hey!”
Grayson, who was furious, called him again, but Dane ignored him and went into the next room this time.
“Charles! Charles, where are you? Charles!”
Grayson just looked at him with a cynical expression as he shouted for the dog again. He wondered when he would give up. Now, he was watching with a heart that was almost like a curse, but as he repeated this several times and came out empty-handed each time, his heart soon grew cold.
“Hey, let’s talk for a minute.”
When Grayson, who couldn’t stand it, spoke, Dane had just taken out a crowbar and broken the doorknob.
“What is it? Hurry up.”
He grabbed the dangling handle and threw it behind him, but contrary to his words, he immediately put his hand into the round hole and opened the door and went back inside. Grayson was shocked, but he followed him and poured out the story he had been holding back.
“How long do we have to keep doing this stupid thing? The dog is dead. It can’t be alive in this fire. It would have suffocated from the smoke before it even burned.”
It was foolish to come in and wander around the middle of the fire to save it. Isn’t this enough? How much more do you want to do?
Dane, who had been lifting and lowering the mattress inside and opening and closing the closet, came out while asking while hiding his numerous questions. He gave Grayson a brief glance without saying anything and headed to the second floor. Dane didn’t say a word, but it was as if he had already heard the answer.
“Wait, wait! Wait!”
Grayson shouted, but Dane still ignored him and quickly climbed the stairs. Grayson jumped up the stairs and grabbed Dane at the landing.
“It seems like you like repeating meaningless things, but I hate wasting my life on things like this. So let’s go now.”
Dane stared at him with a blank expression at Grayson’s request. The eyes behind his dusty mask ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) looked surprisingly boring. Haa, Dane, who seemed to be sighing, opened his mouth.
“Isn’t that something you should be talking about, wasting your life chasing the love of your life?”
“What?”
