Chapter 76
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 76<\/p>\n
Nicole Snow is my direct supervisor.<\/p>\n
I could buy these materials for her another day.<\/p>\n
I know she means to make it hard for me. It isn\u2019t anything very important, so I don\u2019t want to go against her. It’s also helpful for me to know more about materials.<\/p>\n
But I wish the wind could be gentle outside.<\/p>\n
I walk out of the door with the lists.<\/p>\n
As soon as I reach the door, I am stopped by the strong wind.<\/p>\n
My 100-pound body can\u2019t stand the gale like this.<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t a long distance but I couldn’t walk there, so I take a taxi.<\/p>\n
Three minutes later, the car stops in front of a shop selling accessories.<\/p>\n
I go in and get everything Nicole Snow needs.<\/p>\n
When I come out, I see Noah Jefferson walking toward me.<\/p>\n
We haven’t been in touch for days. In Santos, he called me once, but I misses it, then I forgot to call him back.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane Noyes, I recognize you from a distance. Why you come out in such a strong wind?\u201d He smiles at me, his warm smile melting me.<\/p>\n
To me, Noah Jefferson is like the sun on a winter day. No matter how cold the weather is, as long as he is here, the world is warm.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, he is not my sunshine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI come out to buy something, what are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too. I need some medicine for the experiment. There is a temporary shortage of supply. I come out to see if I can find some.\u201d He smiles at me.<\/p>\n
I remember he said earlier that the class he was teaching had to do with chemistry. It’s normal to do experiments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t watch a movie last time, so let’s go this time.\u201d He says to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I have to buy materials.\u201d<\/p>\n
Every time he asks me out, I would try my best to duck out. If we two go on like this, it won’t have a good result for him or me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s no rule about when you have to buy it back. The movie would only take two hours, and there is plenty of time left.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he takes out his phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right. I have bought the tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before I could say no, he has everything planned out.<\/p>\n
I have already been embarrassed to stand him up last time, and now I couldn\u2019t refuse him again. So, I can only go to the cinema with him.<\/p>\n
Because of the strong wind, the cinema doesn\u2019t have many people. We are the only two guests in the hall.<\/p>\n
It’s a romantic movie. I like the actors and actresses in it. We are absorbed in the movie.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane Noyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
His face is pale and he is clearly in great pain. Afterwards, he is so weak that he almost closes his eyes several times, but he holds on all the time.<\/p>\n
Theater officials rush over. They make emergency calls, and remove the board from his body.<\/p>\n
An ambulance come quickly and take him to the hospital.<\/p>\n
I followed him in the ambulance, watching Noah Jefferson anxiously.<\/p>\n
He keeps smiling at me, the smile that makes my heart ache. He is still trying to reassure me at this time.<\/p>\n
The result is comminuted fracture with blood clots in the brain, requiring immediate surgery.<\/p>\n
I look at him with horror as Noah Jefferson is pushed into the operating room. If Noah Jefferson hadn’t pushed me away, I can’t imagine what that board would have done to me. It would have blown my head off.<\/p>\n
The phone vibrates in my bag. I take it out. It is Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
My whole heart is worrying about Noah Jefferson, I don\u2019t want to answer any calls. But I can’t miss the call of Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will get home half an hour later.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m not at home.\u201d I say honestly.<\/p>\n
This is the first time Frances Louis has contacted me since the conflict that day. I should have abandoned my dignity to please him. After all, Frank Noyes’s life and my fate depends on him.<\/p>\n
But now, I couldn\u2019t leave.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis pauses and commands me in a deep voice, \u201cI don’t care where you are now. Go home now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-100","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
