In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 500

When we arrive at the gate, we bump into a doctor leading an expert inside.

I instantly kneel down on the ground and kowtow to the expert, crying.

"Doctor, please save Frances. Please save him!"

The expert glances at me and hurries inside.

The officers take me into the car and says doubtfully, "How strange. Why did you shoot him if you don't want to kill him?"

I can't say anything.

I guess no one will understand why I did this, right?

Apart from hatred, there is probably no other reason.

Perhaps, that is what Frances may think, too.

Hilda is really ruthless. In this case, there will be no chance for me to get back to Frances at all.

After arriving at the police station comes a series of interrogation.

Only this time, Frances will not show up.

"Where did you get the gun?"

Hilda's threat reverberates in my mind.

If I say anything I shouldn't have said, will my child be in danger?

Since Hilda is able to insert a chip into Earl's mind secretly, I shouldn't underestimate what she is capable of.

So, I can't tell the truth.

"I don't know either. I went into the room to take a break. When I opened the drawer, the gun was already inside."

The officers frown a bit. Apparently, they don't buy my story.

Neither do I.

But I can't make up a decent lie now.

"Before the wedding, you received a call from Hilda. Does this have anything to do with the shooting?"

"No."

I says resolutely, "She just called me to send blessings. That's all."

"Then, why do you want to kill Frances? What's your motive?"

"I'm only with him for money. I want to reunite with my ex-husband when I got the money. But he killed my ex, so I have to make him pay for it."

I'm already numb when I repeat the same lie for a second time.

"Are you sure you're telling the truth? Right now, if Frances survived, you've committed an attempted murder. If he's dead, then you've committed homicide. Neither of them was a light crime, and you can't get away with it easily."

The officers look at me and warn me seriously.

But, do I have a choice?
