Chapter 502
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 502<\/p>\n
However, Frances doesn’t come as I expect.<\/p>\n
Instead, I meet the lawyer Steven has hired for me.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Noyes, I’m your lawyer. You have to tell me the truth. Only when you tell me the truth can I do my best to get your sentence reduced.”<\/p>\n
The truth?<\/p>\n
I smile bitterly and silently.<\/p>\n
At this point, does the truth still matter? Telling the truth won’t do me any good.<\/p>\n
I don’t know how long I’ll be in this cage. I don’t even know what is going on outside.<\/p>\n
The feeling of not knowing makes me panic, and I don’t dare to act rashly.<\/p>\n
“What is the truth? I did shoot Frances. This is an indisputable fact.” I look up at the lawyer. At this moment, I’m despondent.<\/p>\n
“How many years will I get for attempted murder? Life imprisonment? Right, there’s Whitney Jordan’s case. With two cases added together, I might die in prison.”<\/p>\n
Frances\u2019 words keep echoing in my ears, and every word is cutting my heart.<\/p>\n
He wants me to die in jail.<\/p>\n
Well, I’ll just die here.<\/p>\n
I’m so sad that I start to laugh out loud.<\/p>\n
The lawyer frowns and says, “There is a blurred boundary between attempted murder and intentional assault. As long as Frances and his people are willing to give you a way out, I can help you get out of prison in three years.”<\/p>\n
Frances now hates my guts. He can’t wait for me to die. Can I still count on him to have mercy on me?<\/p>\n
I’m not that na\u00efve. I don’t even dare to think about it in a daydream.<\/p>\n
The only thing in my mind is: if I go to the courthouse, will I be able to see him?<\/p>\n
Never have I been looking forward to that day so much.<\/p>\n
I lie in bed every day, counting the days left before the court day.<\/p>\n
I sit in the dock, while Frances sits coldly at the plaintiff table. He doesn’t give me even one look.<\/p>\n
No, I won’t accept this!<\/p>\n
Therefore, when the lawyer questions me, I change my statements.<\/p>\n
I don’t care about anything else now.<\/p>\n
I want to tell the truth. I want to return to Frances\u2019 side!<\/p>\n
“I didn’t mean to kill Frances. It was Hilda who forced me to do that. She told me that she had planted a miniature bomb in my son’s head, and that if I didn’t shoot Frances, she would detonate the bomb. I fired the gun because I had no choice.”<\/p>\n
When I’m talking, I stare at Frances without even blinking.<\/p>\n
However, he looks so calm, and even a little cold.<\/p>\n
As if I’m talking about something insignificant.<\/p>\n
Doesn’t he believe me?<\/p>\n
Or he just doesn’t care at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-526","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/526","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=526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
