Chapter 168

Just at this moment, there was a commotion inside Hearth Home.

Bronya and Dark Seele frowned at the same time.

It wasn't just the two of them who were depressed because of Bai Ge's departure; everyone in Hearth Home was like this.

This morning, Rozaliya and Lilia even packed their bags and said they were going to find Bai Ge.

Although they were stopped by the others together, no one could deny that they had also had such an impulse in their hearts, wanting to pick up their bags immediately and find that person.

"These guys, what are they making a fuss about again."

"Understand it, Papa Bai Ge is not at home, everyone is in a bad mood, it's estimated that it will last for a while."

"Ha? Who can stand this."

Just as the two got up and intended to see what happened, they saw Lilia running out of the house in a panic, her expression terrified and anxious as if she had seen a ghost.

"N, not good, something big is not good!"

"What's wrong, Lilia? What happened? It's not like someone got hurt by accident, right?"

"No, no, it's the fire!"

"Fire? What fire?"

Bronya and Dark Seele's brows furrowed even deeper, thinking, don't let it be that a fire started somewhere. It's only been two days and so many problems have occurred. How are they going to explain it when Bai Mouren comes back.

However, just five seconds later, the two felt in their hearts that if it were just a fire, that would be fine. At the very least, it would be a thousand times better than that ball of flame being extinguished.

"The fire in the fireplace, it suddenly went out just now!" Lilia said panting.

"What did you say?!!" x2

The two were shocked. Subsequently, they ran towards the house regardless of everything. A few seconds later, when Bronya and Dark Seele arrived at the hall, a circle of people had already gathered in front of the fireplace.

The girls collectively looked at the fireplace in panic and daze.

That fire, which had been burning eternally since they came to this home, had actually gone out at this moment. This fireplace was colder than ever before, just like their mood at this moment.

The girls only felt that a piece was missing in their hearts.

Sad and uneasy feelings surged uncontrollably.

"Something happened, Papa Bai Ge had an accident..."

Bronya only felt her limbs cold as if falling into an ice cellar.

She knew that this fire in the house was extraordinary.

After all, although Bai Ge hadn't said it directly, he didn't mean to hide it from them either.

Everyone knew that it was a fire that existed because of Father's power, so even if they didn't add firewood usually, or even poured water on it, it wouldn't go out.

Especially since Bai Ge went on a long trip, this fire had become their sustenance. The girls entrusted all their longing for Bai Ge to the fire.

However, now, this fire had gone out.

Something that had always existed in the past.

Suddenly lost.

The girls of Hearth Home simply didn't dare to think deeply about what this represented.

"Bronya, what should we do now!"

"... Find him, find Papa Bai Ge!"

Bronya knelt in front of the fireplace, her breathing carrying a thick tremor. At this moment, her reason and calmness had completely disappeared. She protected the remaining embers with both hands, on which there were still traces of sparks.

She swore in her heart that she would never let it go out completely.

Second update, a small cut, will reunite in the original timeline soon.
