In My Desperate Time

"Frances, how is your sweetheart?"

She asks me with her big bright eyes wide.

I've just come back from a business trip, so I'm too exhausted to tangle with this little hobgoblin.

I glance at her and say disapprovingly, "What sweetheart? I don't know what you're talking about. Your parents are coming back next month, so why don't you think about how to deal with them?"

Anny's small face immediately clouds over.

She curls her lips and says to me, "Frances, can't you just stop asking such a hurtful question? You know that when my parents come back, it will be an endless torture for me."

After a long sigh, she suddenly turns to me in confusion.

"Frances, Jane is injured. Why are you still so calm?"

Jane is injured?

What's going on?

"What's wrong with Jane? Tell me!" I snap at her, rising from my seat with my heart in my mouth.
