In My Desperate Time Chapter 519: How Have You Been?

"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.

This time, after the second ringing, he picks up the phone.

"So, what's the matter?"



His voice is so indifferent, as if I’m a stranger.

I can't help but wonder, is this really the man who once loved me and doted on me?

Why are we in such a state now? I hate Hilda, but more than that, I'm afraid of her.

"Is Hilda by your side?"

"No. Just go ahead." He says in a deep voice.

"Can we talk about this face to face?" I plead in a low voice.

Hilda is such a shrewd person, I'm afraid she will be eavesdropping or something.

Anyway, it's better to be careful.

After pondering for a while, just as I think he is going to refuse my request, he whispers, "Alright. I'll see
you tomorrow, nine a.m. at the company gate."

Then, he hangs up the phone.

I am finally relieved.

The next day, after I hand Penelope over to my mother, I head to the entrance of Frances’ company.

At nine o'clock, he appears on time.

He gets out of the car and walks against the morning sun, his slim figure shining in the light.

I remember that he had appeared like a god to save me when I was in danger several times.

From then on, this man’s figure has been an imprint in my heart, lingering until now.



However, his deep affection will never stay for me again.

Just as I think of this, he has already walked in front of me.

He is almost a head taller than me. He lowered his head and stared at me.

"What is it?"

His tone sounds as indifferent as ever.

My heart feels like being stabbed severely by his words.

I smile at him, concealing the disappointment in my eyes, and whisper, "How have you been recently?"

He seems to have lost weight.

His thin face had many edges and corners added to it.

I still think he looked better before.

He frowns and says in a deep voice, "Let's get down to business. I don't have much time."

His attitude is so cold.

My heart aches again.

I bite my lips and stare at him, saying in a serious tone, "I'm here to warn you something. Be careful of
Hilda."
