In My Desperate Time

"Even if you don't say anything, I will ask David to do so." Mindy says quietly, "By the way, didn't you go to find Frances yesterday? Did he believe you?"

"No."

I reply in a low voice and touch my left cheek, which is still swollen.

I didn't even dare to tell the truth when my mother asked me what was going on. Now when Mindy asks me, I naturally won't tell her.

She cares so much about me that I'm afraid that she will rush over to Frances and beat him up when she knows what's going on.

"He didn't believe my words. I have no choice."

"Oh, Jane, don't be too sad. There’s plenty of fish in the sea. Look at you, so outstanding and beautiful. As long as you're willing to start a new relationship, there will be lots of men chasing you."

"You're such a honey-lipped person. Alright, I'm going to bed. I won't disturb you anymore."

After putting down the phone, I sit in bed and stay up all night.

Even if I have Mindy arrange for someone to keep an eye on Hilda, I still feel worried.
