"I'm more worried about you. Silvia's thing is over now. What I'm afraid of is that you will be in danger if Serena deals with you secretly. So, from now on, I will have people protect you 24 hours a day in case of any accidents. For your safety, you'd better stay at home all the time and don't go anywhere. So do Earl and Penelope. They can't leave home either."
Frances ponders for a moment and adds, "It's not enough. Serena used to be a legend of the Thai Special Forces. No one in the Special Forces could beat her, even if male soldiers couldn't beat her. Her skills and abilities can't be underestimated. Therefore, your mother and younger brother will be protected before Serena is captured."
I stare blankly at Frances without saying a word.
He frowns and says to me in a deep voice, "Did you hear what I just had said?"
His expression is very serious. He is probably angry at my distraction.
However, I have heard every word he has said in fact.
Noticing that he cares about me and my family like this, I'm really moved.
I nod and smile gently at him, "I see. I get it. I'll listen to you. I just need to hide behind you."
That's what Frances has said to me.
He has said he would protect me, and he has done his best.
If it weren't for him, I would have died countless times.
So, with him around, I'm relieved.
Frances sighs helplessly, rubs my tall nose and whispers, "OK. I'm not angry with you. I'm worried about you. I'm afraid of losing you. Jane, I can't bear the pain of losing you anymore. You're my soft spot, my Achilles heel. As long as it involves you, I'll be in complete chaos."
Frances hugs me in his arms tightly.
I lean against his shoulder and feel that the whole world is warm.
What he doesn't know is that I'm not afraid of any difficulties or dangers as long as he is by my side.
