You can&#8217;t be him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who tells you I am dead? Frances?&#8221; He says to me.<\/p>\n<p>Does he know about Frances?<\/p>\n<p>Does he really know Frances? Or has he checked up on us?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>He looks down, and he suddenly begins to take off his clothes.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m scared.<\/p>\n<p>As we, a man and a woman, are alone in the room, what does he want to do?<\/p>\n<p>I stand up in horror and take two steps back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With this, do you believe me?&#8221; He says indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>I look at him out of curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>What I see is a scar on his chest.<\/p>\n<p>The scar is obviously a wound that heals from gunshot.

He&#8217;s also a victim. He doesn&#8217;t even know the true Hilda. Please don&#8217;t hurt him!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I beg him softly.<\/p>\n<p>To me, Frances is more important than my life. How can I let others hurt him?<\/p>\n<p>He shakes his head and says to me in a deep voice, &#8220;Frances is my good friend who has gone through fire and water with me. I am well aware of his kindness for me. And I know that he is only kept in the dark by Hilda. I won&#8217;t take his life, but he has slept with Hilda, so I won&#8217;t let him go so easily.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After he says those words coldly, his gaze falls on me again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I suddenly remember that I have something important to tell you.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-553","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/553","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=553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
