Chapter 552
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 552<\/p>\n
Right after Penelope disappears, Mom calls the police.<\/p>\n
Because it is a disappearance of an infant, she doesn’t have to wait for 24 hours to report it.<\/p>\n
I also look anxiously at Frank, waiting for his reply.<\/p>\n
No matter what the news is, it is better than nothing.<\/p>\n
Frank shakes his head and sighs, “No news from the police. They said that they would keep tracking the case. If there’s any news, they will call us.”<\/p>\n
No news.<\/p>\n
I slump in my chair, dejected and worried sick. My eyes are empty as I look ahead.<\/p>\n
Penelope has been missing for almost 24 hours, and we hear nothing of her.<\/p>\n
I don’t even know if she is taken away by a child trafficker, or someone with some ulterior motive.<\/p>\n
Regardless of who it is, Penelope is in danger now.<\/p>\n
Or to put it more negatively, I don’t know if she’s alive.<\/p>\n
What should I do?<\/p>\n
What in the world should I do?<\/p>\n
I really want to cry, but I understand that tears are the most useless thing on earth.<\/p>\n
If crying helps, there won’t be so many troubles in the world.<\/p>\n
I don’t know how long I sit in the chair. My mind doesn’t stop wandering until my mother talks to me.<\/p>\n
“Jane, get some sleep. You must be exhausted after the long flight. Have a good rest.”<\/p>\n
I nod and go back to my room.<\/p>\n
Mom already feels guilty. My misery will add to the guilt in her heart.<\/p>\n
Lying on the bed, I can’t keep my eyes shut.<\/p>\n
How can I sleep?<\/p>\n
As soon as I close them, Penelope’s cute appearance comes back to me.<\/p>\n
And I fail to protect such a cute child.<\/p>\n
I’m questioning myself as a mother.<\/p>\n
She is so little. Besides suffering from the illness, she is faced with other threats.<\/p>\n
And I feel like dead.<\/p>\n
God, why are you so cruel to me?<\/p>\n
I have two children. One is with Hilda and he must suffer mistreatment a lot.<\/p>\n
The other, who endures thalassemia every day, is still missing.<\/p>\n
Am I a jinx and destined to die alone?<\/p>\n
A month passes, and Penelope is still nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
The police almost give up on searching.<\/p>\n
Without Penelope, I put all my focus on Earl.<\/p>\n
Every day, I wait outside the Louis’, hoping to see him.<\/p>\n
Even I feel like a lunatic. But there is nothing else I can do to relieve my pain.<\/p>\n
Today I’m waiting for Earl to appear at the gate of the Louis’ as usual.<\/p>\n
Unexpectedly, Frances’ indifferent face comes into my sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-576","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/576","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=576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
