Chapter 501
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 501<\/p>\n
Instantly…<\/p>\n
I seem to have heard that gunshot again.<\/p>\n
And this time, the bullet has shot right in my heart.<\/p>\n
Does he really hate me that much?<\/p>\n
Even though I’ve seen this coming, when I hear it, I still feel extremely painful.<\/p>\n
“OK. I see.”<\/p>\n
After saying that to Hilda, I walk towards the door.<\/p>\n
The moment the door is closed, tears fall down like beads from a broken thread.<\/p>\n
I slowly curl up with my arms tightly holding my legs, wailing.<\/p>\n
“Frances, Frances, Frances…”<\/p>\n
I mumble his name over and over again, as if it’ll never be enough.<\/p>\n
Despair floods me, and I’ve collapsed.<\/p>\n
Frances and I, we fail to make it to the end.<\/p>\n
After crying for a long time, I’m brought into the detention center by the prison guards.<\/p>\n
I’m still waiting for my trial. Before the trial, I need to stay in detention.<\/p>\n
In a corner of the dark and gloomy room sits a woman with an indifferent expression.<\/p>\n
Seeing me come in, she only glances at me lightly before closing her eyes.<\/p>\n
I look around at the surroundings and can’t help but frown.<\/p>\n
This is a six-person room with bunk beds, just like the dormitories in a university.<\/p>\n
There is nothing on the bed except blankets and pillows.<\/p>\n
I walk to sit down on the bed, which is so hard that it hurts me.<\/p>\n
Although I’m not a spoiled and picky lady, I still have a hard time adapting to it.<\/p>\n
Besides, I’m staying in a detention center.<\/p>\n
When the trial is over, I’ll be sent to the real jail.<\/p>\n
I don’t even dare to think about what kind of life it will be like.<\/p>\n
Even now, I feel like I’m dreaming.<\/p>\n
Prison life, which I’ve never thought of before, is now right in front of me.<\/p>\n
I feel panicky and helpless.<\/p>\n
I feel like there is no future for me.<\/p>\n
I answer with a grunt.<\/p>\n
It’s so hot. My entire body is burning.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, I should just die of fever.<\/p>\n
A slightly cold hand covers my forehead and someone says in my ear, “You’re burning!”<\/p>\n
Then, there seems to be a sound of the door opening.<\/p>\n
Here comes the rustling sound of footsteps. Some people are talking, but I can no longer make out what they say.<\/p>\n
My body temperature is so high that I start losing consciousness.<\/p>\n
My mind is occupied by a name that makes my heart hurt.<\/p>\n
Frances.<\/p>\n
I miss him. I miss him so much.<\/p>\n
This time, the fever has reached 40 degrees.<\/p>\n
After the doctor relieves my fever, I gradually wake up.<\/p>\n
When I open my eyes, the first thing I say is:<\/p>\n
