Chapter 149
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 149<\/p>\n
Let me go?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a big temptation for me.<\/p>\n
But Frances Louis\u2019s requirement is my Achilles\u2019 heel.<\/p>\n
I’m afraid of heights.<\/p>\n
I’m afraid of heights so much.<\/p>\n
It’s impossible for me to walk across this glass walkway.<\/p>\n
But Frances Louis has promised me. I would regret it if I didn’t give it a try.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d I look at him and say firmly.<\/p>\n
Then I take a deep breath and walk forward.<\/p>\n
As soon as I take a step, I hear a cry coming from the front.<\/p>\n
I look up and see a strong man sitting on the ground crying desperately, refusing to move a step forward.<\/p>\n
Next to him stands a petite girl with a funny look on her face.<\/p>\n
Even a strong man is afraid of it puts more pressure on me.<\/p>\n
After the first step, I couldn’t stop trembling, and I couldn’t get out of the second step.<\/p>\n
No, I can\u2019t waste this opportunity.<\/p>\n
Thinking about it, I move another step with great effort.<\/p>\n
Each step on this glass walkway is incredibly difficult for someone who has acrophobia.<\/p>\n
My back soaks with sweat, and my entire body is sore and tired.<\/p>\n
In the end, I am almost half crouched, struggling to move on the glass walkway.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t cry like others, but I am still terrified. But faith keeps me going forward.<\/p>\n
One is the fear of height, and the other is the determination to leave Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a rare chance to leave him without having to pay four million dollars, so why don\u2019t I take it? It’s just a few hundred meters up, I won’t fall, there is nothing scaring.<\/p>\n
It turns out that I am a lot more cowardly than I thought I was.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis stops in front of me, bends down and pulls me up off the ground. With a sneer, he says, \u201cJane Noyes, you don\u2019t even have the guts to walk through the glass walkway let alone leave me. You can’t overcome the fear in your heart, just as you can’t escape me.\u201d<\/p>\n
He is right, but I won\u2019t give up.<\/p>\n
I have lost such a great chance. I don’t know how long I have to wait for another chance. Suddenly, four million is out of reach for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease give me one more chance, I’m sure I can do it.\u201d I look at him, almost begging.<\/p>\n
I could succeed as long as I run as I did just now.<\/p>\n
He smiles, his hand slipping gently across my tightened brows, and says softly, \u201cA lost chance never returns.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances Louis holds me back to the hotel, the rain patters all the way as my crying heart.<\/p>\n
Nothing I could do but obey him after losing such a great chance.<\/p>\n
I wonder how Steven Song is checking the case. If the truth is found out that Nicole Snow copied my work, do I still have a chance to work with DS and possibly get the five million?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-173","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/173","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=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
