Chapter 538
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 538<\/p>\n
It hurts.<\/p>\n
With my hand red and swollen, I gasp in pain.<\/p>\n
The plane clearly didn’t shake just now, so…<\/p>\n
The stewardess panics and keeps apologizing to me, “Sorry, I’m so sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. It was because of the lady behind me who accidentally touched my hand that I slipped.”<\/p>\n
Hilda touches the stewardess?<\/p>\n
Was that really an accident?<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter.” I force a smile and say to the stewardess through the pain.<\/p>\n
It’s obviously not her fault. If I blame her, it’ll definitely get her in trouble.<\/p>\n
The stewardess looks at me gratefully and apologizes to me again before continuing to serve other passengers.<\/p>\n
I turn to look at Hilda, who looks quite uninterested.<\/p>\n
I can pretend to be ignorant of her identity, but that doesn’t mean I can endure her harm to me at will again and again.<\/p>\n
Now, without Frances around me, I have to learn how to protect myself.<\/p>\n
“Hilda, don’t go too far,” I say to her coldly.<\/p>\n
“What? Don’t go too far? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”<\/p>\n
Hilda looks at me as if she knows nothing.<\/p>\n
Then she turns to look at Frances and says softly, “Darling, I didn’t touch the stewardess, but why did your ex-wife pin that on me?”<\/p>\n
Hearing how she calls me, I feel a great deal of heartache.<\/p>\n
At the thought of what happened between Frances and me that day, my mind wanders.<\/p>\n
Frances\u2019 eyes range over me and he says coldly, “I know. You don’t have to argue with someone unimportant.”<\/p>\n
Someone unimportant?<\/p>\n
Indeed.<\/p>\n
He was just consumed with lust that day, without having any feelings for me.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, I am clearly aware of this.<\/p>\n
With such a dangerous person as Hilda sitting beside me, I have to be under caution all the time.<\/p>\n
In the midway, Hilda goes to the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Frances suddenly looks at me.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what that gaze means, but I just feel uncomfortable all over.<\/p>\n
He looks at me and whispers a sentence.<\/p>\n
“Since you’re easily hurt, can’t you stay away from her?”<\/p>\n
Is he talking about Hilda?<\/p>\n
Can I regard it as his concern for me?<\/p>\n
But he’s obviously on Hilda’s side. Doesn’t he find it ridiculous to pretend to care about me?<\/p>\n
Or he thinks that this can make him noble?<\/p>\n
