After Betty comes, Frances drives me out.
Frances heads straight towards the suburbs. Unexpectedly, he drives in the direction of my home.
In the end, he stops at my hometown.
"Frances, is your father buried here?"
I'm a little confused.
"Yes."
Frances nods lightly and walks towards a green grocery across the street to buy some fruit. He then goes to the funeral supplies shop next to him for some incense and joss paper.
I finally believe that Frances' father is really buried here.
No wonder Sabina can't find Fernando's grave for so many years. Perhaps she will never expect that the most dangerous place is the safest one.
No one will believe that the Louis have buried Fernando so close to where he had the car accident.
After getting things he wants, Frances drives me for a while before stopping in front of a cemetery.
The cemetery is well renovated, with the name of Fernando carved on it.
Looking at Fernando's photos, I find that he looks similar to Frances.
Taking advantage of the gap when Frances is displaying offerings, I take out my phone and secretly send Sabina the location.
"The grave is right here. You can come after we leave. I'll let you know when."
Sabina replies soon that she gets it.
When I put back my phone, Frances happens to turn around, which astonishes me.
He walks over and takes me up to the tombstone while holding my hand.
"Dad, this is Jane, my wife."
He gives me a meaningful look as he introduces.
As Frances' wife, I'm highly respected. When I go to the tearoom, many staffs offer to make coffee for me.
Frances goes to a meeting. I sit alone in the office, drinking coffee and watching TV shows.
After a while, I'm really bored and begin to browse the news of the latest fashion week.
After reading it for a while, I have an inspiration suddenly and I begin to design.
No matter what, it's always right to earn more money. Besides, design is something I like.
However, after drawing for a while, I feel some warm liquid flowing out of my body.
I should be having a period.
I heave a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I'm not pregnant, which means I didn't take that pill in vain.
Thinking of that pill, I suddenly remember Frances found out about it at that time.
