Chapter 500
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 500<\/p>\n
When we arrive at the gate, we bump into a doctor leading an expert inside.<\/p>\n
I instantly kneel down on the ground and kowtow to the expert, crying.<\/p>\n
“Doctor, please save Frances. Please save him!”<\/p>\n
The expert glances at me and hurries inside.<\/p>\n
The officers take me into the car and says doubtfully, “How strange. Why did you shoot him if you don’t want to kill him?”<\/p>\n
I can’t say anything.<\/p>\n
I guess no one will understand why I did this, right?<\/p>\n
Apart from hatred, there is probably no other reason.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, that is what Frances may think, too.<\/p>\n
Hilda is really ruthless. In this case, there will be no chance for me to get back to Frances at all.<\/p>\n
After arriving at the police station comes a series of interrogation.<\/p>\n
Only this time, Frances will not show up.<\/p>\n
“Where did you get the gun?”<\/p>\n
Hilda’s threat reverberates in my mind.<\/p>\n
If I say anything I shouldn’t have said, will my child be in danger?<\/p>\n
Since Hilda is able to insert a chip into Earl’s mind secretly, I shouldn’t underestimate what she is capable of.<\/p>\n
So, I can’t tell the truth.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know either. I went into the room to take a break. When I opened the drawer, the gun was already inside.”<\/p>\n
The officers frown a bit. Apparently, they don’t buy my story.<\/p>\n
Neither do I.<\/p>\n
But I can’t make up a decent lie now.<\/p>\n
“Before the wedding, you received a call from Hilda. Does this have anything to do with the shooting?”<\/p>\n
“No.”<\/p>\n
I says resolutely, “She just called me to send blessings. That’s all.”<\/p>\n
“Then, why do you want to kill Frances? What’s your motive?”<\/p>\n
“I’m only with him for money. I want to reunite with my ex-husband when I got the money. But he killed my ex, so I have to make him pay for it.”<\/p>\n
I’m already numb when I repeat the same lie for a second time.<\/p>\n
“Are you sure you’re telling the truth? Right now, if Frances survived, you’ve committed an attempted murder. If he’s dead, then you’ve committed homicide. Neither of them was a light crime, and you can’t get away with it easily.”<\/p>\n
The officers look at me and warn me seriously.<\/p>\n
But, do I have a choice?<\/p>\n
I don’t care. I don’t care if I have the chance or not.<\/p>\n
“As long as he’s fine, it’s okay” I smile to her and feel relaxed.<\/p>\n
“He’s fine, but you may not be so lucky. I’m here to tell you that I will take good care of your child. Of course, on condition that you behave yourself.”<\/p>\n
Her smile is beaming, but the words she says make me shiver.<\/p>\n
I know very well that she is threatening me.<\/p>\n
If I dare to leak anything, she will definitely hurt Earl.<\/p>\n
I’m glad I didn’t tell the police about Hilda.<\/p>\n
Right now, she is a time bomb buried beside my child, which makes my tongue tied.<\/p>\n
In fact, I even suspect that I have fallen into her trap for listening to her orders and end up in jail now.<\/p>\n
But no matter what, there is no turning-back.<\/p>\n
“I know.”<\/p>\n
I bite my lips and reply softly.<\/p>\n
“Right, Frances is awake and he has a message for you.”<\/p>\n
Hilda stands up with a faint smile on her face.<\/p>\n
“He says he hopes that you can be locked up here for the rest of your life, or better, just die here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-524","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/524","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=524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
