In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 219

I nod to show my consent.

I don’t know who else would do this except for Whitney.

However, none of these matter anymore.

I smile and say to Steven, “It doesn’t matter. I am leaving anyway. I hope things could stop here.”

Thinking of the possibility of not seeing Frances forever, my heart feels like being cut with a knife. It feels terrible.

If I have the chance, I will not want to leave. Still, my life seems not to give me the chance to choose.

“It’s not bad. Without Frances, I hope you can live the life you want.” Seven looks into my eyes tenderly.

I have the instinct that he seems to have something to say, but he never says it.

“Alright, not much time left. I am leaving.”

I bid Steven farewell, walking to the gate with the luggage.

While in the lounge waiting for departure, people look at me strangely, which makes me awkward. I can only lower my head and pretend not to see them.

I endure all the way until it is time to board. Everything seems to proceed perfectly.

As long as the plane takes off, I can leave this sad place without any relation with Frances.

At least that is what I think my heart.

Until I get a phone call.

“Hi, are you Mr. Noyes’ daughter?”

“Yes, I am.” I answer. My heart grows nervous for some reasons.

“Your parents ran into a car accident. Come to the hospital now. Your father’s situation is very bad and so is your mother’s. If you come here late, you might lose the last chance to see them.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, it is like a lightening bolt strikes on my heart.
