In My Desperate Time

"Return her to you? How much is Penelope's monthly medical fee? Can you afford it? If she lives with you, can you guarantee her a healthy life?"

Frances' cold words strike me in the heart.

He's right.

I have no money, so I can't afford Penelope's medical expenses at all.

For me, it is an astronomical amount, but for Frances, it is nothing.

By staying with him, at least, Penelope's condition can be stabilized.

I'm reluctant to part with Penelope, but I can't bear to see her suffer.

In the end, I bite my lips and say to Frances, "I can leave Penelope to you, but at least you have to tell me why you took her away. I can be at ease after knowing the reason, otherwise, I can't give Penelope to you."

Frances glances at me and says casually, "You don't need to know."
