Chapter 445
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 445<\/p>\n
After picking up the child, I go back home with Frances.<\/p>\n
By the time we get home, it’s almost ten.<\/p>\n
Old Mr. Louis is usually asleep at this time.<\/p>\n
So I don’t expect to see him still awake and chat with Hilda on the sofa when I arrive at the door.<\/p>\n
Thinking of my promise to old Mr. Louis, I stand at the door and don’t know if I should go in or not.<\/p>\n
Old Mr. Louis doesn’t see me. But hearing the sound, he certainly knows that we are back.<\/p>\n
He sits up straight and says in a deep voice, “You have to do what you promised me. I’m still here, so you should know what to do.”<\/p>\n
Of course, these words are for me.<\/p>\n
I have nothing to retort, and I don’t intend to.<\/p>\n
“Grandpa.” Frances’ face darkened. He wants to say something, but I stop him.<\/p>\n
I hand Earl in my arms to Frances and whisper to him, “Go in. I’ll be there soon. I’m good.”<\/p>\n
Frances shakes his head and stands still at the door, resolutely disagreeing with me.<\/p>\n
It’s so windy tonight. Standing outside, I even feel my face hurt. Earl is still so young. How can he endure such a strong wind?<\/p>\n
I shake my head and say to Frances in a low voice, “Go in with Earl. I don’t want him to catch a cold. Give him a bath and I’ll be there soon.”<\/p>\n
Frances looks around at the swaying trees, then looks at Earl in his arms, and finally walks in helplessly.<\/p>\n
When he passes by Old Mr. Louis, he stops.<\/p>\n
“Grandpa, it’s already late. You should go to sleep.”<\/p>\n
“I know what I should do.”<\/p>\n
After Frances finishes speaking, he goes upstairs. Old Mr. Louis is still sitting there, chatting with Hilda.<\/p>\n
I don’t wear much and can only bear with the wind for a while. But it’s already midnight. After standing at the door for half an hour, I get Goosebumps all over my body.<\/p>\n
“You really should see how miserable you are now.”<\/p>\n
Well, I don’t need her to tell me.<\/p>\n
“So what? I’ll be warm after I go back to my room and hug Frances. I’m much happier than someone like you who is too lonely to sleep every night.”<\/p>\n
I hold my head high and quickly go upstairs after saying this.<\/p>\n
As soon as I arrive at the door, Frances comes out.<\/p>\n
When he sees me, he brings me into the room, frowning.<\/p>\n
“You didn’t come in all this time? You must be freezing. Go to take a shower now and don’t come out until you’re warm.”<\/p>\n
I nod, take my nightgown, and go to the bathroom.<\/p>\n
After washing for a long time, I finally feel warm. As soon as I climb into bed, Frances hugs me tightly.<\/p>\n
