In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 557

However, my hand is suddenly grabbed by someone.

The knife is slapped off, and my hand feels numb.

Before I regain my senses, I am hugged by Frances.

He hugs so tightly that I can't even breathe.

I am dumbfounded. I have no idea what this embrace means.

After a while, I come to myself and try to push him away.

"Frances, what ... are you doing...?"

He doesn't know that his hug will rekindle my hopes.

And it is precisely because of the hope that I am left at the abyss.

But he hugs me even tighter.

I can feel his body trembling uncontrollably.

After a long while, he finally lets go of me and lets out a long sigh.

"Jane, what should I do with you?"

Jane.

My heart hurt badly.

How long has it been since he called me my name?

It's long enough that I almost don't remember that there was such happiness between us.

The tears that I've held back fall down again in an instant.

"Frances, can you not call me by my name like that? Can you ... not make me go mad again and again? Do you know that every time I see you and Hilda being so intimate, I feel like dying. So, please, let me go. I can't take it. I can't take it anymore. I've lost you and two children, and I don't want to live anymore. Let me die, let me die!"

I struggle in Frances’ arms.

I just want to end my life with the knife.

"No Hilda! In my heart, there has never been Hilda! I love you, I've always loved you!"

He lowers his head and kisses my lips and seals all my restlessness.

Did I ... hallucinate?
