Although Whitney is injured and still remains in hospital, she may think of a way to deal with me.
If I don't let Frances protect me, I am not sure whether I can stay safe.
"How are you? Are you still having a fever? Is your fever getting worse?" Frances asks about my
condition anxiously.
My restless heart beats faster because of his sudden concern.
Seeing that I don't reply, Frances starts again.
"Why not speak? Are you very uncomfortable? I'll be right back."
His concern seems too good to be true.
Is this really Frances? If so, why does he care so much about me?
But now is not the time to think about it. I put on a bitter smile and say, "I'm fine. My fever is gone.
Someone dropped Whitney's child and I picked it up. I'm in the police station. Can you come over?"
"Alright. I'll be right over." Frances answers and hangs up.
The policeman calls Whitney and puts her on speaker, so I can hear Whitney very clearly.
The phone is picked up soon.
"Hello, is this Ms. Whitney?"
"Yes," Whitney answers in an indifferent voice.
"Two ladies sent your child to the police station." As the policeman speaks, he glances at us and asks,
"May I know your names?"
"My name is Jane Noyes." Since I am not afraid that Whitney will know I am here, I give my name to
the policeman.
I hear something fall to the floor from the other end of the phone. The following sound is a bit noisy. I
may scare Whitney just now. She might have dropped her phone.
"Ms. Noyes saw someone leave your child by the roadside. She picked up the child and sent him to the
police station. Could you please come here and tell us what happened?"
"I'm hospitalized. I have no time."
Beep.
Whitney hurriedly hangs up the phone, which makes me very uncomfortable.
I cannot deny that she is injured, but how can she abandon her own child?
I feel that she is guilty of it. I can't help but think that she has had her baby thrown away by others.
But why? Anyway, it is her child.
Frances arrives at the police station soon.
He goes straight to the leader's office. He finishes talking with the leader soon, comes out and takes
me away.
Of course, we leave with that baby.
Holding the sleeping child in my arms, I ask Frances in confusion, "What shall we do with this child?"
"Take it home and bring it up. You always want me to regain the custody, don't you? It's done," Frances
says indifferently and walks over to the car.
So soon?
He says that he will settle it within a week, but it only takes him three days. It is true that money talks.
"Thank you, Frances." I express my sincere gratitude after him.
I hate him, but he indeed does me a favor. Without him, this thing would not have been done so easily.
Frances pauses for a moment. Without saying anything, he opens the car door and gets into the car.
I am about to follow Frances, but Mindy pulls me aside and says to me with a serious expression.
"Jane, how badly do you want to start a family of three with Frances? You even plan to raise the child
of him and Whitney. To be frank, did you really marry Frances for revenge or you just want to be with
him?"
