“You’ve arranged everything? What’ve you arranged? I don’t care your arrangement! I want you to be
safe and sound! Frances, you can’t get involved in it. I don’t allow it! You’d better come back right now.
Please come back, will you?”
I think I’m already gone crazy now.
The mere thought of the possibility of losing him makes me completely unable to control my feelings.
For me, there is nothing in the world that scares me more than losing Frances.
“Jane, calm down and listen to me. If something bad happens to me, all the assets under my name will
be transferred to yours. I’ve prepared your passport and visa. As long as there is a bad message about
me, someone will pick you and children up and help you leave. And all evidences I collect of Hilda’s
crimes will be given to police stations of all places, so that they can provide a strong protection for you.
I’ll try my best to protect you and our children.”
I don’t know when tears have streamed down my face.
No! I refuse!
I don’t want a life without Frances. I don’t want a life he arranges for me.
“Frances, where are you? I’ll come to find you! I’ll come right away!”
I nearly shout at the phone.
But soon I realize that I’m still in the company, so I suppress my voice immediately.
“Jane, don’t be silly. You just stay where you are and wait for me coming back.”
He hangs up when he finishes.
As I call back, his phone has been switched off.
But how could I wait here in peace?
If something is wrong with him, what should I do? What about our children?
I have to come to find him! Whatever happened, I must face with him together!
I first make a call to Mindy and tell her the things, ask her to help me find out Frances and Hilda’s
address in the United States.
She didn’t know these things between me and Frances before. Surprised as she is, she gets on with it
quickly.
Soon, Mindy finds out the movement of Frances and calls me back.
“Frances is with Hilda now. I’ve let someone secretly observe what they’re up to, and until now, nothing
particular happened. I think you’d better not to wake a sleeping dog. Frances has planned for so long, if
you get involved now, maybe all the efforts he makes will be in vain. If you have faith in him, you should
wait for his returning without fear, but not go to find him.”
“Mindy, I understand. But I’m really worried about him. What if last call is our farewell? I just can’t lose
him. I’m anxious. I want to stay beside him. If……if something is wrong with him, at least I could……
could rush to see him. Perhaps……I could meet him for the last time.”
That’s the worst I could figure out.
Cruel as it is, I have to face it.
When thinking of this, I feel great pains in my heart.
In the end, Mindy has no choice but to compromise.
“You can go the United States, but you can’t go to find Frances. The only thing you should do is waiting
for news. Moreover, you can’t go without any reasons, or it will make Hilda suspicious.”
“Right. What should I do now?” hearing Mindy give way on this matter, I’m extraordinarily happy and I
ask her hurriedly.
