In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 439

There would not be so many problems between Frances and me without Hilda.

She's the reason why Frances and I are growing apart.

And she almost killed me yesterday.

So, how could I not hate her?

How would I keep such a big trouble beside me?

Frances stares at me. It looks as if I'm putting him on the spot here.

"You know, my grandpa doesn't have much time left. I don't want to upset him."

I can understand his worries.

Frances looks cold and indifferent on the surface. But actually, he's very filial to old Mr. Louis. He doesn't want to upset his grandpa in his last days, and I don't want that either.

But why Hilda is the only one who can bring joy to old Mr. Louis?

I just feel like I'm about to collapse.

"There's gotta be another way."

I grab Frances’ hand and say anxiously.

Old Mr. Louis is in the terminal stage of cancer, so his days are numbered. But every day I spend with Hilda is fatal to me.

Frances frowns and shakes his head. "Jane, it's not that I don't want that. It's just that there hasn't been a proper way. Since this is the only way, you might have to endure it for now."

"But don't worry. You are the only one I love. No matter how long Hilda stays at the house, I will never have any feelings for her."

"Don't you believe me?"

Frances looks extremely sincere, and his eyes were filled with love.

However, I'm still worried and it has nothing to do with trust.

Frances will never be able to understand how insecure I am because of Hilda.
