Chapter 87
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 87<\/p>\n
Without asking for leave, I rush out of the office, stop a car on the road, and head for the hospital.<\/p>\n
I am so nervous and tears keep falling down for my face.<\/p>\n
How could that happen?<\/p>\n
I thought my mom was just bluffing me, but who knows, she actually jumped off from the balcony!<\/p>\n
They live on the third floor. It\u2019s not fatal, but my mother is still in coma. The doctor says the situation is not optimistic.<\/p>\n
I regret very much.<\/p>\n
If I hadn’t hung up, if I had brought the money back, this probably wouldn’t have happened.<\/p>\n
I rush to the ward and find my mother unconscious. My father sees me, he comes up and slaps me on the face.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you weren’t so heartless, your mother wouldn’t jump off!\u201d<\/p>\n
My father’s eyes are red with tears. He seems to have cried.<\/p>\n
I cover my cheek and ask my father worriedly, \u201cHow’s mom?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctors say there is congestion in her head and it is pressing on her main nerves. They can\u2019t do the operation. All we can do is resign herself to her fate. I’m also a doctor, and I know that means your mother may never wake up! We’ve worked so hard to raise you up, and now you won\u2019t give us a cent!\u201d<\/p>\n
My father says tremblingly. He is angry as well as being sad.<\/p>\n
I want to explain and I know he won\u2019t listen to me.<\/p>\n
In their eyes, no matter what I did is wrong. But now, we have no time to talk about who is right and who is wrong. I do have a responsibility for my mother\u2019s coma.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am sorry father. I am sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
I walk to the sickbed in tears. Even though she is in a coma, my mother still frowns.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I shouldn’t be so ruthless. If I could have the time back, I wouldn’t refuse her.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s too late now.<\/p>\n
I cry for a while, then I remember Frank Noyes\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is Frank Noyes?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt home, I tied him up with a rope. He couldn\u2019t run away. You stay here and watch your mother. I’ll go and see him.\u201d My father sighs, his face haggard.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go and see him.\u201d<\/p>\n
As soon as he sees me, Frank Noyes rushes over and grabs me by the neck.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoney! Give me money!\u201d<\/p>\n
He pinches me so hard that I almost pass out.<\/p>\n
A drug addict is so terrible.<\/p>\n
I remember I left my bag at the hospital and now I have no money. I paid the taxi with my phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026I don\u2019t take\u2026\u201d I choke.<\/p>\n
But Frank Noyes doesn\u2019t believe me. He looks around, finds a knife, and puts it on my neck.<\/p>\n
The cold blade presses against my neck, which makes my goose bumps grow.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a real sharp knife!<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no money, what about Frances Louis? He has a lot of money! Tell him to send money. Now! Or I’ll stab you!\u201d<\/p>\n
He takes my phone and dials Frances Louis\u2019s number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-111","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/111","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=111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
