Chapter 116
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 116<\/p>\n
\u201c4 million? Did you eat his one-thousand-year ginseng?\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven Song asks me surprisingly.<\/p>\n
He’s still in the mood to joke. I’m nervous to death!<\/p>\n
\u201cNever mind. Anyway, I can\u2019t pay it off for a while. So I’d better go out to relax and get some inspirations. When do we leave tomorrow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEight in the morning. I will pick you up at Louis\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pick me up?<\/p>\n
Forget it. It is difficult to figure out Frances Louis\u2019s minds. Steven Song is also a man. I am afraid that he will be unhappy and lose his temper.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the dock, right? I\u2019ll go there by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then I go back to my office.<\/p>\n
If I stayed here much longer, I’m afraid that people will think I’m doing something shady with Steven Song.<\/p>\n
This morning Frances Louis told me to go home early. So as soon as I get off work, I hurry home without stopping.<\/p>\n
When I get home, he hasn\u2019t gone home yet.<\/p>\n
Damn him! He asked me to come home early but he doesn\u2019t come back?<\/p>\n
Then why did he order me to come home early?<\/p>\n
I feel hungry, so I roll up my sleeves and go into the kitchen. I let Betty sit down on the couch to watch TV.<\/p>\n
Betty bought the spareribs. I’m going to make sweet and sour spareribs.<\/p>\n
I pour oil into the pot, and smokes rise up. I hold the ribs and stand a little further, afraid to be splashed by the hot oil.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have told you not to go into the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances Louis\u2019s voice comes behind me.<\/p>\n
I am so startled that the ribs I am carrying drop into the pot. The oil spatter out and burn my hands.<\/p>\n
The pain is sharp.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis rushes over. He quickly turns off the fire, and takes my hand to flush under the water for a long time.<\/p>\n
I feel comfortable when the cold water flushing my hand, but after the flush, it is still burning pain.<\/p>\n
There are many red spots on my hand, someone is big and someone is small, and the biggest one is probably as big as a coin. I’ve burned myself before, but not as bad as this time.<\/p>\n
What a bloody year!<\/p>\n
I just cut my face and now my hand is burned. Now these are only red spots, but it’ll probably be blisters later.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have told you not to go into the kitchen. You treat it as nonsense?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you know the pain?\u201d<\/p>\n
He says in a cold voice, but his movements become gentler and softer. After applying the burn cream, my hands feel much better. I hope they don’t get blisters.<\/p>\n
After it, Frances Louis turns to Betty and says, \u201cBetty, you’d better go back home. In the future, the kitchen shall be blocked off. We won\u2019t cook at home. You can take care of your grandson and have a rest at home. It\u2019s okay that you just come over and do the cleaning from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Betty goes home and there are only Frances Louis and me in the big house.<\/p>\n
He sits on the couch, and he hasn’t said a word since Betty left.<\/p>\n
I am hungry.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t be in the kitchen if I weren’t so hungry and Betty’s cooking was so unappetizing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am hungry.\u201d I look piteously at Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
My stomach will ache again if I keep on being so hungry.<\/p>\n
\u201cStay hungry, or you won\u2019t learn your lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances Louis says and goes upstairs. I sit there, not daring to cook. I can only drink a glass of milk, but still feel hungry.<\/p>\n
I am about to go upstairs when the doorbell rings.<\/p>\n
