In My Desperate Time

“By the way, mom, about the car accident,”

“You haven’t told me what happened.”

She was heartbroken after my father died, so I didn’t ask her. And it’s been too long that I have almost forgotten about it.

My mother’s expression suddenly changes. She avoids my gaze and then says, “It’s all passed. You don’t need to know about it.”

Well, as long as she’s fine, I won’t interfere too much.

I help them to pack up the luggage. The next day is weekend, so I send them to the station.

Actually, their returning to the hometown will reduce Frances’ restriction on me. In that case, it might be easier for me to leave him.

At the station, my mother suddenly turns around and asks me, “Jane, do you want to go with us?”

All of a sudden, I shed tears.

I know she’s worried about me. I don’t know how long it has been since I’ve gotten her attention.
