In My Desperate Time

"Ask her here. She hasn't recovered yet, so she can't go to the police station with you."

Frances says in a low voice.

He immediately calls the higher-ups and they immediately agreed.

Afraid of disturbing the doctor's operation, I go back to the ward with the police.

"Ms. Noyes. Ms. Whitney reported that you tricked her out of her home and caused a car accident to try to kill her. Is this true?"

I am stunned and don't know how to answer.

If I admitted it, I would be convicted of a felony.

But if I don't admit it, this is the truth.

Frances who stands aside speaks up for me.

"It's not true. There's a child in Whitney's car. We are his parents. Jane is his mother. Do you think a mother would do this regardless of the safety of her own child?"
