In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 627

"Frances, how is your sweetheart?"

She asks me with her big bright eyes wide.

I've just come back from a business trip, so I'm too exhausted to tangle with this little hobgoblin.

I glance at her and say disapprovingly, "What sweetheart? I don't know what you're talking about. Your parents are coming back next month, so why don't you think about how to deal with them?"

Anny's small face immediately clouds over.

She curls her lips and says to me, "Frances, can't you just stop asking such a hurtful question? You know that when my parents come back, it will be an endless torture for me."

After a long sigh, she suddenly turns to me in confusion.

"Frances, Jane is injured. Why are you still so calm?"

Jane is injured?

What's going on?

"What's wrong with Jane? Tell me!" I snap at her, rising from my seat with my heart in my mouth.

I've been out on business these past few days, and I've barely had any rest. However, I get such worrying news as soon as I get home.

Looking at me, Anny becomes even more puzzled.

"Don't you know it? She was stabbed in the waist by a young man and a middle-aged woman. I don't know what kind of hatred there is."

A young man and a middle-aged woman?

Are they her ex-husband and his mother?

Right now, I'm too worried to think it through. I pull Anny out.

"Where is she? Take me there!"

I have no idea that something so big has happened. I have promised to protect her. Is that how I keep my promise?

My mind is in a mess.
