Where did you take him?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I shout at the phone.<\/p>\n<p>If Hilda dares to do anything to Earl, I will not let her off!<\/p>\n<p>Even if I lose my life, I will make her pay!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, he&#8217;s still in the lobby. The babysitter is there. If you don&#8217;t believe me, you can ask Frances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I hurriedly hang up the phone and call Frances.<\/p>\n<p>The phone is quickly picked up. Frances\u2019 voice is cheerful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s wrong? You&#8217;ve missed me just for this while?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He is in a good mood because of today&#8217;s wedding.<\/p>\n<p>But now, I am anxious. I don&#8217;t want to joke with him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, have you seen Earl? Where is he?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looks like Earl is much more important to you than me. Have you forgotten that today is our wedding?&#8221; Frances becomes a little dissatisfied.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t know what has happened, so he is relax. But now, I&#8217;m with the deepest anxiety!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stop joking! I&#8217;m asking you where is Earl? Where is my Earl?&#8221; I shouted at him. My heart is in my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Frances is probably frightened by me. He pauses and says, &#8220;Alright, don&#8217;t worry. I&#8217;ll take a look.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t say anything and wait quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Every minute and every second feels like torture.<\/p>\n<p>Frances replies quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Earl is with his babysitter. He&#8217;s awake now. He seems to be happy and he is looking all around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I ask sharply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s no big deal. Today is the day you and Frances get married. As Frances\u2019 illegitimate wife, I have to give you a gift.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gift?<\/p>\n<p>It must be a Greek gift!<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t dare to accept that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Take back your gift. I don&#8217;t care. If there&#8217;s nothing else, I&#8217;ll go. I don&#8217;t want to be affected by you on my important day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After saying that coldly, I want to hang up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>But Hilda&#8217;s words make me restless.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My gift has been sent out, there is no reason to take it back. Furthermore, even if I want to, I may not be able to do that. Because I already gave my gift to your lovely son, Earl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you mean? What have you done?&#8221; My entire body trembles uncontrollably.
