Without thinking, I directly say to David, "If we fight for probation, Frances will definitely know that I'm pregnant. I don't want him to know about the child. I want to keep the baby, but can you think of a way to keep Frances from knowing that I'm pregnant?"
Thinking that Frances’ going to marry Hilda soon, I'm so sad.
I love Frances, but what's the point?
The shot ends everything between Frances and me.
If Frances and I continue to tangle with each other, we will feel terrible pain.
"Are you not going to let Frances know? Do you mean that you want to stay in prison?" David frowns.
I nod.
Although there are things that scare me, the prison is the safest place for me.
At the very least, I won't know the news about Frances. And I won't know that he's going to marry another woman and that he no longer loves me.
As long as I can't hear it.
I can deceive myself that nothing has changed between Frances and me.
"When the doctor examined you, he said that you have bruises. They are from the people in the prison, aren't they? Those women are all criminals, so they're ruthless. If you insist on doing so, I can arrange a separate room for you. Then you don't need to do the labor activities in the prison. So no one will know that you're pregnant."
David makes good arrangements, so I nod.
Mindy walks over and pokes me hard in the head.
"Jane, are you stupid? You clearly have a chance to get out of jail and get back to Frances. Why do you give up and go back to prison to suffer that kind of torture yourself? Look at you! You're really out of your mind!"
I know Mindy takes pity on me.
Mindy won't understand my desire to escape.
