Chapter 556
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 556<\/p>\n
“Return her to you? How much is Penelope’s monthly medical fee? Can you afford it? If she lives with you, can you guarantee her a healthy life?”<\/p>\n
Frances’ cold words strike me in the heart.<\/p>\n
He’s right.<\/p>\n
I have no money, so I can’t afford Penelope’s medical expenses at all.<\/p>\n
For me, it is an astronomical amount, but for Frances, it is nothing.<\/p>\n
By staying with him, at least, Penelope’s condition can be stabilized.<\/p>\n
I’m reluctant to part with Penelope, but I can’t bear to see her suffer.<\/p>\n
In the end, I bite my lips and say to Frances, “I can leave Penelope to you, but at least you have to tell me why you took her away. I can be at ease after knowing the reason, otherwise, I can’t give Penelope to you.”<\/p>\n
Frances glances at me and says casually, “You don’t need to know.”<\/p>\n
“Frances! I’ve been so humble to you. Will telling me the truth kill you? I came because I believed in you. If you don’t tell me, I’ll call the police!”<\/p>\n
My anger is out of control.<\/p>\n
Frances has gone too far! I can forgive him for taking Penelope away and covering her whereabouts, but he went further and didn’t tell me the reason.<\/p>\n
Perhaps my compromises are meaningless.<\/p>\n
It is precisely because he thought I was too weak that he took Penelope away presumptuously.<\/p>\n
“Call the police?” The man smiles, raises his eyebrows and looks at me. “At most, I will run a paternity test with Penelope. She’s my child. Even if I snatch her away, it’s not against the law, and she can get the best treatment if she stays with me.”<\/p>\n
Frances’ words push me into the abyss bit by bit.<\/p>\n
I can’t refute what he said.<\/p>\n
And he did it.<\/p>\n
What’s the point of living without my child?<\/p>\n
A wave of hot air rushes into my mind and washes away all my rationality.<\/p>\n
With a glance, I see the fruit knife on Frances’ table.<\/p>\n
Taking advantage of Frances’ absentmindedness. I rush over, hold the fruit knife in my hand, and aim it at my chest.<\/p>\n
“Frances, I know you hate me for shooting you. I can pay my debt back. But you can’t take away my children one after another. You don’t know how cruel this is to me. Without children, I don’t want to live at all! I’ll pay you back with my life!”<\/p>\n
Tears roll down my cheeks.<\/p>\n
I close my eyes and stab the knife hard into my chest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-580","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/580","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=580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
