In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 28

The woman’s stomach is slightly bulging, and it looks like that she is three or four months pregnant.

Frances Louis holds her with great care.

What is the relationship of this woman to him? Is that the woman on the phone this morning?

I don’t expect to run into a scene like this. My whole head is in a mess

Instinctively, I don’t want Frances Louis to see me.

I can’t care so much to avoid him. I directly bury my head on Steven Song's shoulder and walk by him.

I walk along the porch, Frances Louis and the woman are on the other side. Although it is a face-to-face encounter, if I hide well enough, Frances Louis would not have find me out.

After all, we are not that familiar.

A short walk, for me, is like the long march. When I get to the ward, my legs have become soft.

Damn it, why am I acting like a coward? Why I hide from Frances Louis?! It is because I owe his money?

“I go to buy some porridge for you, you can drink a sip of water and lie down for a while. The nurse would come to give you infusion in a minute. If something happens, just call me.”

Steven Song says and goes out.

I have to say, Steven Song may look goofy on the surface, but he's actually quite sweet.

After drinking a cup of hot water, I feel more comfortable and take a nap in bed.

I didn't sleep well last night, and with the pain killing me, I'm so sleepy now.

There comes a steady, powerful sound of footsteps at the door. I don’t open my eyes, thinking it must be the nurse.

But after a while, I sense something is wrong. The nurse should have given me an infusion, and the nurse's footsteps shouldn't have been the sound of leather shoes kicking.

I open my eyes and see Frances Louis standing beside me.

There is no expression on his cool face, but I feel an invisible pressure.

“Why would you come?” I ask and move back instinctively.
