Chapter 439
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 439<\/p>\n
There would not be so many problems between Frances and me without Hilda.<\/p>\n
She’s the reason why Frances and I are growing apart.<\/p>\n
And she almost killed me yesterday.<\/p>\n
So, how could I not hate her?<\/p>\n
How would I keep such a big trouble beside me?<\/p>\n
Frances stares at me. It looks as if I’m putting him on the spot here.<\/p>\n
“You know, my grandpa doesn’t have much time left. I don’t want to upset him.”<\/p>\n
I can understand his worries.<\/p>\n
Frances looks cold and indifferent on the surface. But actually, he’s very filial to old Mr. Louis. He doesn’t want to upset his grandpa in his last days, and I don’t want that either.<\/p>\n
But why Hilda is the only one who can bring joy to old Mr. Louis?<\/p>\n
I just feel like I’m about to collapse.<\/p>\n
“There’s gotta be another way.”<\/p>\n
I grab Frances\u2019 hand and say anxiously.<\/p>\n
Old Mr. Louis is in the terminal stage of cancer, so his days are numbered. But every day I spend with Hilda is fatal to me.<\/p>\n
Frances frowns and shakes his head. “Jane, it’s not that I don’t want that. It’s just that there hasn’t been a proper way. Since this is the only way, you might have to endure it for now.”<\/p>\n
“But don’t worry. You are the only one I love. No matter how long Hilda stays at the house, I will never have any feelings for her.”<\/p>\n
“Don’t you believe me?”<\/p>\n
Frances looks extremely sincere, and his eyes were filled with love.<\/p>\n
However, I’m still worried and it has nothing to do with trust.<\/p>\n
Frances will never be able to understand how insecure I am because of Hilda.<\/p>\n
I sit beside him and couldn’t help but frown. Frances has to look at the data on the computer while flipping through the reports.<\/p>\n
He seems to be much busier recently.<\/p>\n
Is there something going on with the company?<\/p>\n
Although the data are displayed on the computer, I can understand nothing.<\/p>\n
“Frances, is there something wrong with the company?”<\/p>\n
I ask him.<\/p>\n
Frances looks surprised. Then his face changes and he smiles at me. “No. What makes you think that?”<\/p>\n
Frances’ relaxing tone makes me suspect that I have an illusion.<\/p>\n
However, is the company really alright?<\/p>\n
Why am I so unsettled?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-463","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/463","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=463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
