In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 480

Have the police arrived?

The men panic. But as well-trained ex-soldiers, they quickly take out their guns and get out after exchanging glances.

I breathe a sigh of relief and black out.

In a daze, I vaguely hear someone calling my name.

Is it Frances?

I am too dizzy to tell it.

I want to open my eyes, but I feel too tired, sleepy, and cold.

At last, I lose consciousness.

In my sleep, I am surrounded by a few men. They assault me one after another.

I cry and shout, but no one comes to save me. I could only endure the inhumane torture over and over again.

"Frances! Frances, save me!"

I wave my hands in the air. Suddenly, I grab a pair of warm hands.

I open my eyes.

And I meet Frances' sad gaze.

He reaches out and gently wipes the tears off my face.

I look at him blankly and cry.

"Am I dreaming? Frances, tell me, It's not a dream. You are really here, right?"

He nods and holds me in his arms, whispering, "It's me. Jane, I'm here."

He holds me so tight that my wounds hurt badly. And I almost lose my breath.

But right now, I need the pain to let me know that it is not a dream.

"You finally came. Frances, I'm so scared."

Fortunately, Frances has come. Otherwise, I don't know if I can survive their torture.

And even if I survive, I won't know how to face Frances.

"It's alright. I'm here. I am always by your side."

Hilda hinted that I should go find Whitney. She didn't say it directly. Even if I tell him that Hilda asked me to do so, Frances may not believe it.

It seems that I can't compete with Hilda.

I force a smile and say, "I want to help you. I don't want the company to have trouble because of me. I don’t want the Louis Group to go bankrupt because of me. And I don’t want you to lose everything."

As I finish, Frances kisses me.

It is a long and affectionate kiss.

I am immersed in his kiss. But tears drop down.

I thought that I would never have the chance to kiss him again.

After a long time, Frances let go of me and says fondly, "Stupid girl. Why would I lose everything? I don't care anything. I just want you to be with me. I just want you to be safe and sound."

I have been scared and anxious. What he says touches me. I can't help crying. Tears stream down my face.

At such a cozy moment, a cold male voice suddenly comes from outside.

"Mr. Frances, Whitney has been acquitted."
