I go through a full checkup including a blood test and an ultrasound.
The blood test results won't come out until the afternoon. At first, I want to kill the time by chatting with Mindy, but no one answers when I call out.
Perhaps this is a good time for me to sneak out to see Frances and Earl.
I get up from the bed and stride out.
There are people guarding every door, but they don't stop me because they recognize I'm the one who just walked in.
When I walk out of David's house, I sigh with relief.
But I'm not sure if Frances and Earl are at home.
If not, where should I go to see him?
However, I don't expect to see Frances so soon.
Not the real person, but a giant picture on a bus.
It's a wedding photo of Frances and Hilda.
I stand there in a daze, feeling a fierce pain in my heart.
He and Hilda ... are actually getting married.
Why?
Didn't he say I'm the one he loves? Even if he misunderstands me and thinks that I wanted to kill him, he can't marry Hilda!
I have to ask him about this.
I take a taxi to the Louis', but the door is locked and no one comes to open it even though I knock on it for a long time.
What's going on?
Nobody's home?
Where's Earl? Where's Frances? Where's old Mr. Louis?
Where did they go?
I'm in a mess and take a taxi to Frances’ company.
When I arrive, I see his car.
I go straight and rush into the elevator. Even the security guard can't stop me.
The security guard is shouting in panic outside the elevator.
"Attention, everyone! A female outlaw just entered the elevator. Please guard each floor and make sure to catch her."
Outlaw?
