In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 498

I shoot.

I can't hear anything after that.

Hilda and old Mr. Louis rush to Frances. Behind me, the bustling crowd are fleeing.

I just stand there and watch Frances slowly fall to the ground.

Blood oozes from his chest and reflects my eyes scarlet.

His face is deathly pale, but he still tries to put on a smile.

I see his lips move. With all the strength left, he says three words to me.

I.

Love.

You.

I finally come back to my senses and run towards Frances like crazy.

Old Mr. Louis is so indignant that he pushes me away. He frowns and shouts to me sternly, "Go away, you bitch!"

The ambulance comes very fast, but Frances’ blood flows away even faster. I can feel his vitality losing.

Frances.

Frances, please be safe.

The ambulance takes him to the hospital. After some simple check-up, Frances is brought into the operating room.

Hilda, old Mr. Louis, Steven, Mom, Frank and me all stand outside, waiting for the results of the operation.

No one wants Frances to die, especially mom. She is so anxious that she keeps scolding me, "Jane, what the hell is wrong with you?! Why do you shoot him? You are killing him, and you're going to jail."

I just sit there with my hands clasped together, silent.

What can I say?

No one will believe me no matter what I say, right?

I have no choice. I must save Earl.

I stand up and look at Hilda sharply.

"Come here. I wanna talk to you."

Hilda follows me to the corner of the corridor. She has been quite down all this time for worrying about Frances.

Her gamble is so wild that one careless move may easily take Frances’ life.

She loves Frances, so of course, she doesn't want to see this happen.
