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.

“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.”

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.

Anny Louis's face suddenly changes and everything she wants to say was swallowed down her throat. Half of what she said really catches my attention. I wonder what she will say next. But looking at her like this, I should have no chance to listen.

The day I went into the hospital, Andrew Malan and his mother were gone. By Frances Louis’s temperament, I would estimate that Andrew Malan and his mother haven’t had something to eat for three days. No wonder their eyes glow when they see me.
