Chapter 609
The hotel manager didn’t dare to come and stop them.
All I could hear were gunshots ringing out..
Later, the police arrived.
“Everyone, put down your guns!”
The police separated the two groups, but Frank was already nowhere to be seen.
The next day was Christmas.
I finished breakfast early and sent a message to Frank, asking when he would arrive.
By the time he replied, it was already close to noon.
Confirming that he would arrive in the evening, I started preparing dinner with Julie.
During this time, my grandma gave me a video call.
“Look, I’m making Christmas puddings. Come pick them up this weekend.”
Seeing my grandma so happy lifted my spirits too.
“Okay.”
After watching me for a while, my grandma said, “Why does it look like you’re not well?”
I touched my face and smiled brightly. “No, it’s probably the lighting. I’m fine, don’t worry!”
My grandma asked, “Is Frank still not back from abroad?”
“He said he would arrive tonight.”
“Alright, then I’ll get back to work. Pay attention to your mood, and make sure to rest well. Don’t hide anything from me.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up the video call, I walked into the bathroom to take a look at my face.
Turning my head side to side, I noticed I really did look pale.
I placed my hand on my lower abdomen. “Sorry to make you upset as well, my child.”
“Can he understand what you’re saying?”
I suddenly looked up to see a man approaching, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Frank sighed and wiped my tears while saying, “Have you forgotten what Dr. Travis said?”
“I’m back now, why are you still crying?”
reached out to lift his shirt, but he sidestepped to avold me.
He pinched my face. “I’m really hungry, can we eat first?”

I thought my mood would improve with Frank’s return, and my appetite would follow, but after a few bites, I couldn’t eat anymore.
I really wanted to know what had happened and whether he was injured.
Seeing my unease, Frank said helplessly, “With you like this, I can hardly eat either.”
“Then eat later.”
I tried to lift his shirt again.
This time, Frank didn’t stop me, and I immediately saw the bandage wrapped around his abdomen.
