Chapter 159
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 159<\/p>\n
I pick up the phone at last.<\/p>\n
If I don\u2019t answer it, then I\u2019ll seem like the one with a guilty conscience, considering what happened just now.<\/p>\n
Whitney says nothing but apology first.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really sorry, Ms. Noyes. I was acting impassively last time. I forgot that Mr. Song and Frances were close friends. You and Mr. Song are so in love, it\u2019s impossible that you have a secret relationship with Frances. Since we\u2019re all women, I believe you understand why I did that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
This calm response doesn\u2019t show my mixed emotions.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s me that should be apologizing.<\/p>\n
I feel sorry for her that she still doesn\u2019t know the truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Song asked me to make this call. Later I\u2019ll go to DS and the Mangalore center to prove that design belongs to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m at the brink of tears after hearing her out.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t believe she\u2019s doing this for me.<\/p>\n
Thank god she\u2019s unaware of my relationship with Frances. Thank god.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, she\u2019s gonna push me into hell instead of pulling me out of the chaos.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, honestly, I really appreciate you can testify for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m so excited that I can\u2019t even find words to say.<\/p>\n
As long as she proves that I\u2019m innocent.<\/p>\n
Then, I still can hope for the good for my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing. I just want you to put an eye on him. I suspect that he has moved out from the original place for that\u2019s an empty house now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course I know where he lives, but I won\u2019t tell her. I can only say something at random.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m drenched in joy the moment she hangs up the phone, and the dopamine stays with me for a long time.<\/p>\n
Next morning, Steven calls me by saying everything is settled down, and he wants me back to the company.<\/p>\n
She hasn\u2019t showed up or called since she left Frances\u2019s place last time. She doesn\u2019t give up so easily, I knew it.<\/p>\n
Frank Noyes is the apple of her eyes, how can she stop spoiling him?<\/p>\n
\u201cMom.\u201d I stand up, trying to pull her out of the room.<\/p>\n
I know her so well. One more seconds she stays here, there\u2019s gonna be drama.<\/p>\n
My mom, however, gets rid of my hand and sits right down to the floor.<\/p>\n
Everyone on the first floor is gathering. It\u2019s too good a show to miss.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m completely embarrassed, and this is exactly what my mom wants to see.<\/p>\n
She screams and wipes out fake tears, \u201cCome and see, I have such a cruel daughter? She doesn\u2019t care about me and her dad, she even send her brother into jail. She pretended that I didn\u2019t exist when I was in hospital. You don\u2019t know how much I love her. If it hasn\u2019t for me, she\u2019ll never have the life she\u2019s having right now. She\u2019s with a rich man and thinking about ditching me. She even moved secretly\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough!\u201d<\/p>\n
I shush her at a hurry right before she spills the tea about me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-183","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/183","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=183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
