Chapter 288
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 288<\/p>\n
The police needs evidence for everything. I keep on talking. \u201cShe pressed me on the ground. I was not as strong as her. I felt like I was about to be strangled to death. In a hurry, I grabbed something and stabbed her in the back. I did that for self-defense. I didn\u2019t know what I was grabbing. When I found out that Ms. Jordan was injured, I immediately called an ambulance. Whitney probably called you guys when I was distracted. And then you came.”<\/p>\n
After the explanation, the police officers start organizing the information. They look at Frances nervously, reckoning his thoughts.<\/p>\n
“Okay, you may leave. Don\u2019t bother us until there is evidence.”<\/p>\n
Frances waves to the police impatiently.<\/p>\n
The two officers glance at each other, then they nod and left.<\/p>\n
Lawrence stands at the door of the operating room, waiting anxiously.<\/p>\n
Frances walks over, reaches out to me while frowning.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what he is going to do, so I can only stare at him nervously.<\/p>\n
Until his hand gently lands on my neck.<\/p>\n
“Does it hurt?”<\/p>\n
I didn’t speak up. Instead, I feel my heart beating fast. Even my brain is blank.<\/p>\n
“No.” I swallow nervously and tell Frances.<\/p>\n
He looks upset and yells at me. “Are you stupid? Why did you open the door for Whitney? Wouldn\u2019t you check who the person is when they knock on the door?”<\/p>\n
His yelling makes me feel wronged.<\/p>\n
“Why would I know that your ex-wife is such a terrible person? Are you blaming me for hurting her? Why did you divorce her if you care about her so much?”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t be so unreasonable, Jane Noyes!” Frances interrupts me, and his eyes look fierce as if they are burning.<\/p>\n
I should be the one who is upset! Why is he upset?!<\/p>\n
I am speechless.<\/p>\n
Do I want him to go in?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
Frances takes me to the pharmacy to buy some medicine. After arriving home from the hospital, he remains silence.<\/p>\n
The vibes between us are too weird recently.<\/p>\n
As soon as I am home, I hear my phone ringing. I was in a hurry when I head out so I didn’t bring my phone.<\/p>\n
I walk over to see who is calling.<\/p>\n
Frances is one step ahead and picks up the phone on the sofa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-312","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/312","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=312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
