In My Desperate Time

Chapter 562 Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Weibo headlines are titled with “Frances and a famous Hollywood actor dating all night”.

And that famous actor soon after was missing.

Naturally, people fall their suspicious eyes on Hilda again.

The thing is that people think Hilda is a powerless and weak woman, so this matter is put to rest soon.

But I’m sure it was her who did it.

There is one thing I can’t understand is that the actor is a man!

She really has no idea how horrible she is to let jealousy rule her, does she?

She could go crazy to such a degree even her so-called love rival is a man?

The news was released a minute ago, which means Frances has gone to America again?

Hilda is together with him, so could it be that she’s plotting something?

As I’m thinking, my phone rings.

It’s a call from Frances.

He hasn’t contacted me since that day I went to his office.

Though I miss him and worry about him very much, I’ve tried very hard to do nothing.

And now it’s daytime over here and it should be late at night in the United States. He won’t call me if it’s not for important things.

I look around and find nobody noticing me, so I get up from my seat and answer the phone.

“Jane.”

At the other end of the phone comes Frances’ deep voice.

“What’s the matter? Why are you calling me? Is Hilda not with you now?”

I ask anxiously.

Hilda will throw a fit if she knows Frances and I are still in contact.

I’m not afraid of her tricks on me, but Frances is now with her in the United States, I have no way not to worry.

“I miss you.”

His gentle voice makes my heart pop.

He said he misses me, but who knows I also miss him badly?

But now it’s not time for something romantic.

Sighing slightly, I force a smile and reply to him, “I miss you too, but if this is the reason why you call, it’s not necessary at all. Frances, I’m really concerned about you. It’ll be terrible if Hilda finds you call me, so hang up quickly.”

“Jane, I have things to tell you.”

He suddenly sounds serious.

Across the sea, a sense of unease fills my heart.

I say nothing and hold my breath to listen.

“It might be my last time to be here with Hilda. The actor who is whirled in a scandal with me is the son of the head of a rival organization to Hilda. Hilda captures that man, which starts the war between two gangsters. The fight between them must reveal many unknown things. If it go smoothly, I can find out the evidences of Hilda’s crime this time and end the nightmare.”

Nevertheless, why am I not happy at all?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Frances will definitely be trapped in very dangerous situations if he tries to find out the evidences.

I’m so scared, really scared.

My heart races wildly, and after a long while, I mutter, “What if something bad happens? Frances, can you just not be involved in it? I would rather you stay with Hilda for the rest of your life than see you in danger.”

I certainly will be painful if he stays with Hilda.

But it’s nothing compared with losing him.

I don’t want him to be in danger, not at all!

“Even if there is danger waiting for me, I’ve already stepped out and arranged everything.” at the other end of the phone, Frances says calmly.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
