Chapter 587
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 587<\/p>\n
I’m scared.<\/p>\n
I’m so scared of the drug, but I’m more scared that Frances will get addicted to it.<\/p>\n
If one of us must take it, then I’ll be the one.<\/p>\n
I take a deep breath and reach out to the bag of powder.<\/p>\n
My entire body trembles involuntarily. I have foreseen how disgusting and desperate I will be.<\/p>\n
But before my hand can touch it, Frances has clutched it. He smiles faintly and says, “Such a good opportunity, wouldn’t it be a pity if I give it away?”<\/p>\n
As he speaks, he opens it calmly.<\/p>\n
“No! You can’t do it!”<\/p>\n
I shout inwardly over and over again, but no one can hear it.<\/p>\n
“Good. I appreciate your bravery. It looks like Hilda has found a good husband.”<\/p>\n
Mike smiles and hands Frances a dollar bill.<\/p>\n
Taking it over, Frances pours the powder onto it, and glowers at it.<\/p>\n
Seems like a painful internal struggle is going on.<\/p>\n
Mike grows more and more impatient.<\/p>\n
Sensing his hesitancy, Hilda jabs him with her elbow, “Frances, hurry up. It’s just a little. You will be fine.”<\/p>\n
A little?<\/p>\n
I want to punch her right in the face.<\/p>\n
It is far from a little. It is a lot!<\/p>\n
Now, getting addicted or not is no longer the issue here. He can die from a drug overdose!<\/p>\n
What should I do? What should I do?<\/p>\n
Looking at Frances, I become more and more despairing.<\/p>\n
I don’t want this. But with my hands tied, I can’t do anything but watch.<\/p>\n
Eyes bloodshot, I bite my lips hard to utter no sound.<\/p>\n
The grief saps my heart so much that I can’t breathe.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, everyone’s attention is focused on Frances, and no one notices me.<\/p>\n
I fix my gaze at Frances, afraid that he will suddenly fall in front of me.<\/p>\n
But strangely, he doesn’t.<\/p>\n
Isn’t this heroin?<\/p>\n
Am I overthinking it?<\/p>\n
Without even looking at Frances, Hilda says to Mike, “Now, I get the deal, don’t I?”<\/p>\n
The urgency overflows from her voice.<\/p>\n
Does Frances matter even a little to her?<\/p>\n
Mike grins and looked at Frances. He nods, “You really have an excellent husband. It is yours.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-611","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/611","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=611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
