In My Desperate Time

"Do you think that telling Frances the truth will bring you and him together? You should be more careful. If Hilda finds out, you will be in danger. If you fall into her hands, we might not be able to do anything, not even David." Mindy tries to dissuade me.

"I’m not doing this to bring Frances back. Even if we won’t be together, I don't want him to be in danger. You know, I love him. I love him more than I can say. How can I watch bad things happen to him? Moreover, it’s not just for Frances, but also for Earl. Earl is my child, how can I let such a terrifying person as Hilda stay with him? How can I let Earl call her ‘mother’?"

Thinking of that the two most important men in my life could be in danger, I’m almost out of my mind.

Mindy purses her lips and finally lets go of me. She whispers, "If you insist on going, then go. Be careful not to risk your life. If anything happens, remember to call me."

I nod at her and leave the ward.

Walking out of the elevator, I dial Frances’ number.

After a long time, still no one answers.

Later, Frances just hang up the phone when I call again.

I am so anxious and I text him.

"Please, answer the phone. I really have something very important to tell you."

A minute after sending the message, I think he should have read it and call again.
