In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 71

“Come to room 306.”

What’s wrong with Frances Louis?

His wife’s here and he wants me to go to his room? Does he want his wife to slap me in the face?

Plus, I even don’t know where the hotel he lives is, how could I go?

“No.” I refuse him directly.

Soon, Frances Louis replies.

“If you don’t come, I will come to you.”

I ignore him and put my phone on the night table.

He doesn't know which hotel I'm staying in, I'm not afraid of him!

One minute later, there is a knock at the door.

I bounce out of bed and sit there quietly, not knowing what to do.

Damn it! Frances Louis must be staying in the same hotel with me. Or why he comes so fast?!

I dare not open the door.

No good could come of Frances Louis coming to see me himself. And he sounds angry in his previous messages, which makes me more flurried.

The phone vibrates on the night table. I look at it and the message contain only three words, simple as Frances Louis always does.

“Open the door.”

The bell rings only twice before it stops, but I know Frances Louis is still outside. I also know that if I didn't open the door tonight, I would die.

Of course, I may also die even if I open the door.

After a period of hesitation, I put on my slippers and open the door.

Frances Louis walks in directly and sits on the bed.

The bed is soon tinged with red blood. I look at the snow-white sheets, crying in my heart.

How am I going to explain the blood on this bed to the hotel tomorrow?

Looking up through the bloodstain, I see a cut on Frances Louis’s wrist.

Not deep, but not shallow.

The blood keeps running down, making my heart tremble.

Then I remember the night I went to him, and his wrist was also injured.

“Autotomy or suicide?” I ask, frowning at him.

His eyes glance coldly over me, and he says lightly, “Neither. Bind up my wound.”

I have no tools.

But I can't watch his blood drain away like this. I must stop the bleeding first.

Stop bleeding?

Something flashes across my mind.

My menstruation is coming and I prepared something.
