In My Desperate Time

Chapter 597 It Sounds Cheesy

I plug the USB flash disk into my computer and open the folder.

There is only a video.

I click the video open with a trembling hand.

It even takes several clicks before the folder is clicked on.

As the video is clicked open, Frances’ charming face appears.

In the video, he wears a faint smile.

He gazes at the screen silently, but I feel he is staring at me.

As he speaks out the first word, tears can’t help welling up my eyes.

Lately, it seems that I have cried a lot.

But the truth is that I’m not such a sentimental person.

The words he said is nearly the same as old Mr Louis wrote in the letter.

“Jane, if you’re watching this video, perhaps I have left the world already.”

I take a look at the man lying outside, which more or less gives me some consolation.

He is still there.

At least, he is with me now.

I wipe my blurred eyes and continue watching the video.

He always wears a calm expression but I can see the pain and tiredness in his eyes.

“I’m sorry, Jane. I’m going to make probably the hardest decision in my life. Hurting you is the last thing I want to do in the world. But now I have to do it for your safety. A quite long time ago, old Mr Louis told me that there was something wrong with Hilda. At that time, I already found something wrong with her, so I particularly investigated her. The truth really terrified me. It was the first time I felt so powerless and feared that I was unable to protect you.”

“So I didn’t believe any words you said at the wedding. I didn’t know what happened then, but I never doubt your love for me. And I will love you as I always do, until the end of my life. Even if I left the world, I would take my love for you to the tomb.”

He suddenly laughs shyly when he says it.

He put hands on the head embarrassedly. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Maybe it sounds too sappy and emotional.”

I also can’t help laughing when seeing his shy face.

But he immediately puts on a serious look and the smile disappears quickly on his face.

“But I’m so sorry. I love you so much but I have to put you into jail. There is no safer place than jail in the world. After that, I hurt you again by marring Hilda. Only when I became the closest person beside her can I have the greatest chance to destroy her. You know what? Every time I hurt you, I feel so bad and it seems going to kill me. I remembered one time you came to the company to tell me Hilda’s true face. At that moment, I was so eager to embrace you and told you everything, but unfortunately I saw Hilda’s men behind you rushing towards us, I had no choice but swallow great pain in my heart and slapped you. You felt pain in your face, but my heart was bleeding.”

“The similar things happened one after another. You would never know how painful and suffering it was for me. However, I stayed with Hilda so long but I still can’t know any secrets of hers. And you were reduced to dangerous situations again and again because of her. I suddenly felt afraid that Hilda might hurt you again, even more afraid she would hurt our child, so I took Penelope away and left all matters concerned with property transfer to my lawyer. I told him to give you all these stuff once I lost my consciousness. But I will pray it will not happen. I hope you will never see the video and I can stay with you forever.”

I turn my head and look fondly towards the bed where Frances lies.

But when I turn around I find that Frances is gone!

“Frances! Frances!”

I get up anxiously and look around in the room, even under the bed, but I can’t find him!

He was lying unconsciously on the bed just now, so where could he be?

Could it be that men from Hilda’s group came to take him away?

But why I didn’t notice it all along? Is it because that I was completely immersed in the video?

I rush out of the room frantically. As I open the door, I run into a familiar embrace.
