In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 432

Turning around, I see my dress burning.

It burns very quickly because it's made of silk.

Without any hesitation, I quickly take off the dress and jump to the side.

Frances and old Mr. Louis notice the sound and rush over. They see me standing there with a panicked expression.

I am wearing leggings inside, but I still feel a little embarrassed when old Mr. Louis comes over.

But right now, I'm not in the position to care about that.

If it weren't for my quick reaction, I probably would have died because of the fire.

The dress burns out quickly, and the entire room is filled with a pungent smell.

"What's going on? Are you alright, Jane?"

Frances walks over and looks at me anxiously.

I shake my head, but my gaze is locked onto Hilda.

I don't know how it happens, but it happens the moment I turn around.

I forget to turn off the gas when I pick up the pot. My dress is probably ignited by the flame.

However, I don't know how it touches the flame.

"I don't know. I didn't see anything. You should ask Hilda about this," I said coldly.

Hilda put on an innocent look. She shakes her head at me and says, "It's none of my business. I only noticed it when it began to burn. You dress probably got caught by the gas range."

"How could it possible?" I snort and snap at Hilda, "How could an ankle-length dress got caught by the gas range? Come up with a better excuse. Otherwise, nobody is going to believe you."

No one would have done this except Hilda.

She can even do such a terrible thing. I can't imagine what will happen if she continues to live here. I won't even be able to have a sound sleep.

"I really didn't do that. Frances, do you believe me?" While crying, Hilda runs to Frances and grabs his arm.

Frances purses his lips tightly without saying anything. He may be thinking about what is actually going on.
