Impossible. You can&#8217;t leave me until you die!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I neither want to die nor stay with Frances.<\/p>\n<p>He is a nightmare to me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, you are insane. You must be punished for your tyrannies!&#8221; I shout at him with anger.<\/p>\n<p>Frances sneers, holding my chin with his hand. He whispers in my ear, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go to the hell together then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His words make me shudder.<\/p>\n<p>The man standing in front of me is horrible.<\/p>\n<p>In my mind, there is no difference between Frances and the murderous lunatic now.<\/p>\n<p>Our talk ends in discord. It not only doesn&#8217;t solve the misunderstanding between us but also makes our relation even more stained.<\/p>\n<p>Frances has been elusive for these days and I haven&#8217;t met him at all. I have no idea whether he doesn&#8217;t come back or he is avoiding me deliberately.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m happy that I don&#8217;t see him.<\/p>\n<p>The divorce I said seems to have no response as well.<\/p>\n<p>The days without Earl&#8217;s company are really hard for me.<\/p>\n<p>I miss Earl. I can&#8217;t help missing him everyday.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how he&#8217;s doing and if he misses me as well.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, I wonder whether Whitney Jordan continues to abuse him or not.<\/p>\n<p>But I know that it&#8217;s no use no matter how I worry about him.<\/p>\n<p>We did have a baby. But the baby has been killed by his own father. Such great hatred makes the huge estrangement between Frances and me even bigger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yep. In fact, I&#8217;ve been thinking if it&#8217;s a misunderstanding. Hamlin&#8217;s death is strange. Frances could have killed Hamlin earlier if he wants make himself innocent. Isn&#8217;t it too obvious that Frances killed him now? Why did Frances do so with his intelligence?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I actually have thought about what Mindy says.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just sometimes that I dare not think it over carefully.<\/p>\n<p>I bitterly laugh and say with desperation,&#8221; Mindy, it&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t believe it but I dare not think about it. I&#8217;m afraid that I&#8217;ll fall in love with Frances again once I believe him. However, I&#8217;ll feel so sorry for my dead kid if Frances has done everything and I believe him. I would like to believe him, while I have no courage. I&#8217;m afraid. I&#8217;m afraid that I&#8217;ll be deeply hurt again. Mindy, I can&#8217;t take the loss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Only when facing Mindy, I can talk about the worries kept in my heart for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to believe that Frances has never done those things. However, what if I am wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I won&#8217;t easily believe his words before there is convincing evidence.<\/p>\n<p>I might be considered to be stubborn and obdurate. Facing Frances, I can never relax myself.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy frowns. Suddenly, she looks up at me and says each word clearly, &#8220;Jane, what if it&#8217;s a trick? That is to make you and Frances incompatible as fire and water like now. Then, who is the one that can benefit the most from it?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-358","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/358","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=358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
