Chapter 221
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 221<\/p>\n
I panic and take a couple of steps back.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane, why didn\u2019t you turn on the phone? Do you know how worried I was trying to look for you over these days?\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances walks over and says sternly.<\/p>\n
I look up at him and only to realize that he is more haggard now after not seeing him for these few days. His dark eye bags are showing and his face is covered with stubble after not shaving for several days.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very busy and you should know that,\u201d I say calmly and walk past him.<\/p>\n
Frances strides over and says behind me, \u201cFrom how you look, you must have not been sleeping well for days. Why don\u2019t you hire a private nurse?\u201d<\/p>\n
Private nurse?<\/p>\n
After paying for the hospital bills and my father\u2019s funeral costs, I only have several hundred remaining in my account. How do I have the money to hire a private nurse?<\/p>\n
I scoff and do not say a word. There is a huge chasm between Frances\u2019 world of wealth and the poverty of mine. How can he ever understand my world?<\/p>\n
Frances begins to get upset when he sees that I am ignoring him. He grabs me and pushes me to the wall and says sternly, \u201cAt least tell me what is wrong. You should tell me even if something happened to your parents!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know that I was really worried that something happened to you!\u201d<\/p>\n
His eyes are red and throbbing with anxiety. In that trance, I realize that Frances is worried about me. But I quickly suppress this feeling. Perhaps I am in a daze due to my lack of sleep for so many days. How can Frances be worried about me?<\/p>\n
But from the looks of it, he doesn\u2019t know that I intend to leave after purchasing the air tickets. Otherwise, he will be squeezing the life out of me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever it is, we\u2019ll talk after I settle my mother\u2019s hospital discharge procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances is a person who does what he says. I don\u2019t know what methods he used but Frank was released without charges on the second day.<\/p>\n
He even hires a private nurse to take care of my mother. As for Frank, he even finds a rather decent job for him. As far as this is concerned, Frances did it almost perfectly in terms of duty and love. Frances doesn\u2019t want me to stay with my mother and I can only go back with him to the villa. But at least he is understanding and allows me to visit my mother every day.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead, what are your terms,\u201d I ask him calmly.<\/p>\n
I will agree with Frances\u2019 terms no matter what they are. I already resigned to the fact that I no longer have any choice.<\/p>\n
The worse that can happen is death and this man will not want my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarry me, Jane.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-245","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/245","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=245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
