I reckon it is probably because of what I said to Hilda that he thinks I was threatening her.
I really want Frances to know who Hilda really is, but I know that this is impossible.
I'm so grateful that Frances doesn't speak for Hilda in front of me.
The discharge procedures have been completed, and Frances brings me home.
Although I only have external injuries, they are actually quite serious.
The wounds cannot be wetted, nor can I exercise intensely. What I can do is recuperate.
Old Mr. Louis is not at home. I ask Frances and he says that he went to the company to deal with some business.
I know that the two things happened to me have a great impact on the Louis Group.
After sending me home, Frances also goes to the company for some business.
At home, there are only Hilda, the babysitter and me.
I don't have anything to say to Hilda, and I can't cradle the baby because of the injuries. I can do nothing but go upstairs.
As soon as I lie down, I hear the sound of the engine being turned off coming from downstairs
...
I think it is old Mr. Louis, so I don't care.
In any case, old Mr. Louis doesn't want to see me. With something like this happened, he definitely has more reasons for doing so.
However, just as I close my eyes, I hear an anxious shout from downstairs.
"Jane, Jane!"
It is Mindy.
I immediately regain my spirits and sit up from bed. Unexpectedly, I exert too much force and rip my wounds.
"That hurts."
