In My Desperate Time

"Where is Penelope? How is she? Is she alright?"

I ask Mindy hurriedly, with my heart in my mouth.

God knows how hard these days are.

I'm worried about Penelope every single day, afraid that something might happen to her, or perhaps something worse awaits me.

Now finally there is information about her, but I can't summon the courage hear it.

I'm scared.

I'm really frightened. I can't take another loss anymore.

Penelope, you must be fine.

"If David's investigation is on the right course, then Penelope was taken away by Frances."

Frances?

I breathe a sigh of relief.

At the very least, Penelope is not in danger, since she's in Frances' hands. Fierce as he is, he doesn't lay a hand on his child. I've misunderstood him about Earl. Now I know very well that he won't do anything to his children.

Our relationship ends, but he won't hurt Penelope for this.
