In My Desperate Time

To be exact, she is a little girl.

She is the little girl who saved me three days ago.

Why is she here?

I don't think Frances Louis would have received her here to thank her for saving my life.

Because he doesn’t even know I am hurt.

“Aunty, you come back.” The little girl sees me and runs to me happily.

I can’t stand her enthusiasm.

“Anny, don’t hurt her.” Frances Louis warns her.

The little girl stops pouncing on me.

She turns to Frances Louis in discontent and says, “Uncle, she has been discharged from the hospital. You are too melodramatic.”

Uncle?

It turns out that she is Frances Louis' niece, so she insists on calling me aunty that day. Did she know my relationship with Frances Louis? At her age, she must know what a mistress means.

For a moment, I feel a little embarrassed.

I feel like laughing. Did she just say Frances Louis melodramatic? This is the first time I've ever heard that word used to describe him. Thinking carefully, it is true.

“You know I am injured?” I walk over and ask Frances Louis in a low voice.

He raises his eyebrows. Yes, He does.

Knowing that Frances Louis and I have a shady relationship, he would definitely not come to see me when I am in hospital. But I still feel a trace of loss.

“Aunty I tell you; my uncle is so melodramatic. These days, he wants to see you in the hospital so much, but…”
