Chapter 123
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 123<\/p>\n
Oh, no!<\/p>\n
Is it another round of storm?<\/p>\n
Frances Louis can\u2019t go on the ship now, that\u2019s so dangerous!<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t give much thought and shout at the place he jumped off, “Frances Louis, come back! It\u2019s too dangerous! Frances Louis!”<\/p>\n
No response comes from the sea. I am so worried, afraid that something would happen to him.<\/p>\n
“Jane Noyes.”<\/p>\n
Steven Song tugs at my clothes and whispers my name.<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t pull me.” I say impatiently, and continue to call Frances Louis\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t be reassured as long as he doesn\u2019t answer me.<\/p>\n
“Fran\u2026”<\/p>\n
“Frances!” Whitney\u2019s anxious shouts come from beside and I freeze.<\/p>\n
What did I do?<\/p>\n
I called Frances Louis\u2019s name in front of Whitney so worriedly. What was I doing? What if she found out?<\/p>\n
I finally realize why Steven Song pulled me just now.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Whitney doesn\u2019t notice me because she is so worried about Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
“Frances, Frances, come back! The storm is coming! Come back!”<\/p>\n
I dare not call his name again, but stare in the sea anxiously.<\/p>\n
A faint sound of crashing waves comes from the distance.<\/p>\n
“I am fine.”<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Frances Louis\u2019s voice comes and I am relieved.<\/p>\n
I look down and he has already come out from the sea.<\/p>\n
“Thank god you are fine. You really scared me!”<\/p>\n
Even though he is wet, Whitney rushes over and hugs him, her body couldn’t stop shaking.<\/p>\n
“I hear someone was calling my name.”<\/p>\n
Frances Louis says lightly and looks at me.<\/p>\n
“You can\u2019t hold out like this. I don\u2019t know when can we leave here. We have to find something to eat before the storm.”<\/p>\n
Steven Song says and stands up. My body, which leaned on his shoulder, involuntarily falls towards Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
“I need a helper, but we can’t have two women here. How about Frances Louis staying and watching Jane Noyes, and Miss Jordan will go with me to get something to eat.”<\/p>\n
No one objects Steven Song’s proposal. Whitney follows him, leaving me leaning on Frances Louis’s shoulder. I want to get up but I was too weak to do so.<\/p>\n
I may have a fever. The alternately hot and cold feeling makes me sick. The state of being half asleep lasts for a long time.<\/p>\n
“Frances Louis.”<\/p>\n
I call his name in a daze.<\/p>\n
“Yes.” The man answers lazily.<\/p>\n
“I feel so cold.” I say feebly, but my hand gripping his shirt.<\/p>\n
People are especially vulnerable when they are sick. And they always want to grip something when they are vulnerable.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what Frances Louis means to me, but just at this moment, I don\u2019t want to let him go.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis says nothing. The next second, his warm chests hug me tightly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-147","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/147","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=147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
