In My Desperate Time

Chapter 539: What Should I Do?

His concern makes it hard for me to give up on him.

I don't need this kind of concern at all.

He wants to say something, but he remains silent in the end.

Hilda returns from the bathroom and sits down, leaning on his shoulder.

"Frances, I'm so tired."

"Have a rest. I'll wake you up when we arrive."

Frances’ voice sounds gentle and affectionate, tearing my heart.

He used to be this gentle to me.

But now, that'll never happen again.

These ten hours of the flight are the most lasting torture for me.

I don't know how I survive this torment. When I get to the United States, I am more than exhausted.

I don't want to stay any longer and get off the plane.

I need to stay in the United States for a month. I have already asked Mindy to find a dwelling for me.

After arriving at my residence, I finally get a good night's sleep.

However, when I wake up the next morning, I realize that the scald on my hand seems to have gotten worse.

Yesterday, I was too tired to pay attention, but now I find it is red and swollen.

There are even a few blisters.

Being burned is really painful.

I suddenly think of old Mr. Louis. At that time, old Mr. Louis saved me, so that I dodged a calamity.

Unfortunately, before I can express my gratitude to him, he is already gone.

His death is definitely related to Hilda.

If I get the chance, I will definitely avenge him.

The scald on my hand affects my work very much. I can't help but go to the hospital.

In the public hospitals in the United States, I have to wait in a long queue, and I can only go to the expensive private hospitals.

Fortunately, the scald isn't so serious. The doctor prescribes some medicine for me, so I go back.

For the rest of the days, I spend almost every day wandering around the United States, looking for inspiration.

Soon, I discover something terrible.

I can't find any inspiration.

There is no one I can love.

What should I do?

What should I do?

If I can't get any inspiration, how can I draw the design I want? How can I win the competition?

Without the five million, how can I save Penelope?

I can't lose Penelope, absolutely not!

The phone suddenly rings. It is Mom. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Overseas calls are expensive. Mom doesn't usually call me. So, there must be something very important.

Just as I pick up the phone, I hear her crying.

"Jane, what should I do? Penelope has been suffering from fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. She is extremely weak."

"How did this happen?" I ask anxiously, my heart clench into a ball.

She is so little. Why should she suffer like this?

If only I could bear all of this for her! Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do but watch her suffer.

No, now that I'm overseas, even a glance at her becomes a luxury.

"Jane, the twenty thousand left has been ran out. The doctor said that Penelope's illness is very serious. If she doesn't receive another blood transfusion, maybe...."

Mom doesn't say anything else, but I get her.

I don't have any extra money. Right now, I can only borrow some money from Mindy for the time being.

I call Mindy, but no one answers.

Sitting in a quiet café, I finally burst into tears.

"Penelope, Penelope. What should I do? What should I do?"
