In My Desperate Time

Mindy pauses in the middle of her words.

I look up, seeing her swallowing hard.

"What's wrong? Just tell me!" I urge.

I have a feeling that Mindy's next words will shock me.

I am so nervous that my heart jumps into my throat.

"Every time I think of Hilda, I'm frightened. When David told me this, I was really shocked." Mindy takes a deep breath, sits beside me, and tells me the details.

"Terence was a gang leader, right? Frances thought that after Terence died, those who had a grudge with Terence inside and outside the gang would hurt Hilda, so he tried to protect Hilda. However, according to what David found, Hilda took over the gang within a month of Terence's death and eliminated those who were against her. So, you can imagine how terrifying this woman is."

I'm really shocked at her words.

I know that Hilda is scary, but I don't expect her to be this scary.
