In My Desperate Time

Chapter 319: I Don't Want to Pursue It Any Further

Can Frances speak a little more?

'I know your father died in a car accident, but can you tell me the specifics?'

Seeing that he has no intention of continuing, I have to ask again.

"Was it an accident or something? I heard from your mother that the hit-and-run driver was a doctor."

"It's all over. I don't want to pursue it any further. You should rest early. I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so we're leaving at seven o'clock to visit my father's tomb."

After Frances finishes, he walks out.

Frances' somewhat unreasonable reaction puzzles me.

Based on his personality, how can he give up pursuing this matter? Shouldn't he take revenge on the doctor harshly?

After confirming that Frances has already returned to his room and closed the door, I carefully go downstairs and knock on Sabina's room door.

Soon, Sabina opens the door. She still wears the same clothes as she does during the day. It seems that she hasn't taken a bath yet and isn't ready to go to bed. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

However, it is almost eleven o'clock.

"Mom, you haven't slept yet?"

"I can't sleep. I miss Fernando." She answers softly, her tone carrying a strong sense of sadness.

No wonder that she misses him. Tomorrow will be Fernando's death anniversary.

I nod and whisper to her, "Just now, Frances asked me to go to the tomb with him tomorrow morning. When I get there, I'll tell you the location."

Sabina's eyes light up.

She grabs my hand and says excitedly, "Thank you so much, Jane. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know it forever."

Judging from her excitement, I know that she loves Fernando deeply.

Perhaps I have suffered too much, so I can't bring myself to let down anyone who is affectionate.

I smile and continue, "I helped you ask about the car accident, but Frances told me that it was over and that he didn't want to pursue it. Although it sounds unimportant, I find it a bit strange. So, I come to tell you."

"He doesn't want to pursue it." Sabina murmurs with a frown. After pondering for a moment, she continues, "That means Frances knows who this person is. But why does he choose to let go of him? This is indeed very strange."

Sabina contemplates for a long time, but she fails to figure it out. Finally, she looks up at me and says, "If you can't find anything, I'll investigate it myself. Thank you for telling me this information."

She smiles at me gently, and I think it is worth it.

After talking to Sabina, I go upstairs.

When I arrive at Frances' door, his door suddenly opens, which startles me.

"What are you doing downstairs?"

"To have some water. I'm thirsty." I make up an excuse.

"I put a refrigerator in your room. Everything you need is inside." Frances easily sees through my lie.

To my surprise, I can be so brave and I patch up the lie.

"I want to have plain water. Is there anything wrong?"

After that, I hurriedly go back to my room and close the door.

If Frances finds out that I tell Sabina about this, he will not let go of me so easily.

I wake up the next morning at six o'clock. Of course, I won't pay my respect to Fernando at his tomb with Earl, who is only a few months old.

Sabina leaves home early for convenience.

Frances has to call Betty and asks her to take care of Earl at home.
