In My Desperate Time
Chapter 209 The Meaning of the Two Coloured Lines

I don't know why I have the guts to say such things to Frances.

But I am so angry that I can't help myself.

The man I love may really be a heartless monster.

He doesn't sympathize with others or care about other people's feelings. He may never fall in love with me.

My heart hurts so bad that it feels more painful than being stabbed.

"So what? Like you said, I can manipulate people's fate at will."

Just then, he glances up and down at me.

He means that he is manipulating me.

It hurts me like hell even though what he says is true.

I look at Frances angrily and roar, "You will be dying pointless, Frances!"

After that, I rush outside. The moment I walk out the door, tears fall.

Old Mr. Louis just comes back from outside. Seeing the tears on my face, he says in surprise. "What happened? Did that brat bully you again?"

I shake my head and go back to my room.

In the next few days, Frances and I are not on speaking terms. I don't even understand why this kind of situation can happen to us. I think it would only exist between young couples.

But he never comes to my room in the past few days.

Moreover, he is already gone when I get up every day. He isn't back yet when I go to bed. If it weren't for the coughing and the sound of water in the next room in the middle of the night, I would really doubt that Frances is never home. He is coughing, is he not feeling well?

I am a little worried, but I can't speak to him first.

Mindy sends me photos of her traveling abroad. Her belly looks a bit obvious, and her face is a lot rounder than before. But the happiness on her face can't be hidden. It seems like she's doing really well with David. Great, at least one of us is happy.

"Are you planning to settle down abroad?" I send her a message.

"No, I'll be back in two months. I have gained weight because I am not used to the climate and everything out here."

What does 'gaining weight' have to do with 'not used to the climate'? I can't help but want to laugh.

"Idiot, the reason you are gaining weight is because you're pregnant. The baby would be healthy only when you get enough nourishment."

"It's hard to get used to the days of not having period for ten months."

The word 'period' suddenly sounds alarming to me.

Today is the 20th, and my period is usually on time, around the 15th. At most it is early or late for a day.

Frances is not using condom for several times, and I am not on the pills. What if...

Thinking of this, I am not in the mood to do anything all morning.

At noon, I buy two pregnancy test sticks at a pharmacy nearby, ready to test.

And I also buy some cough syrup for Frances.

Although we are still in a fight, listening to him coughing so badly doesn't make me happy.

While everyone is out for lunch, I go to the bathroom for the pregnancy test. I follow the instructions for the test.

The few seconds waiting is extremely tormenting for me.

When I see a line appear in the color rendering area, I am obviously relieved.

To rest myself assured, I take another look.

But there is something very wrong after the second glance.

Below the red line, there is a light red line. It looks so light that I didn't notice the difference.

So the two lines mean, I am pregnant?☐☐
