In My Desperate Time
Chapter 495: I Want to Grow Old Together with Him

Shoot?

All of a sudden, I don't know if she means really "shoot" or just an exaggeration.

After hesitating for a while, I'm so stunned that I get dumbfounded.

"No, I won't."

No matter what she says, I can't do it.

"I know Frances takes you to learn how to use guns these days. Do you think that you still have some bargaining room?" Hilda's ice-cold voice freezes my heart.

However, can I shoot at Frances?

I love him too much to shoot at him.

I'd rather hurt myself than put him in any danger.

Moreover, doesn't Hilda like Frances? Why does she want me to do this?

I don't understand.

"You love Frances so much, why are you doing this? If you can't get him, you want to destroy him?"

"Humph," Hilda sneers and replies, "Don't overthink this. I want you to shoot him but not to die. I heard that your shooting is not bad. So, it's not difficult to miss a little. Well, if you kill him, I can only say that it just isn't meant to be." I don't expect Hilda to say such words so casually.

This woman is truly terrifying.

Moreover, she's far more terrifying than I have imagined.

I can't guarantee that I won't kill Frances. I don't dare to gamble with Frances' life.

"Of course, you can also choose to marry Frances. Since you are still young, you can have one or two kids easily." Seeing that I say nothing, Hilda begins to irritate me.

Yes.

Frances and I can still have other children. However, they won't be Earl.

And this will be the pain of my life.

In any case, Hilda doesn't want to kill Frances.

For the sake of Earl, I don't seem to have a choice but to agree.

"Alright, I agree. You can let Earl go now, right?" I ask in horror.

"Relax. I'll let him go when your work is done. Don't worry, I'm very trustworthy and won't act recklessly. Besides, it's a pity if something happens to such a cute boy. But..."

Before I can relax, things change again.

"But what?" I hurriedly ask.

"But just shooting him is not enough. You still need to say something to let Frances down completely. In a word, whatever you do, you have to hurt him. I don't have to show you how, do I?" At this time, I finally understand that I can never match the level Hilda plays at.

The reason she hides for so long before is for today.

Perhaps, I should have listened to her back then and left Frances earlier. Then all of these wouldn't have happened.

However, it is too late to repent.

Even if it hurts, I have to agree to her request.

"Alright. But you must keep your word. Don't hurt Earl. And promise me that Frances will be fine too."

"Of course. After all, I still want to grow old together with him."

Grow old together...

That is my dream.

But now, all is gone.

My heart aches.

I'm reluctant to part with Frances and don't want to leave him. Moreover, I don't want anything to happen to him.

But in the end, I still have to compromise.

"Where's the gun? I don't have a gun," I say in a deep voice.

Hilda is so well prepared that she will definitely give me a gun.

"It's in the second drawer on your left. Good luck."

After saying that, Hilda hangs up the phone.

I open the drawer tremblingly and see a black gun lying inside.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
