In My Desperate Time
Chapter 86 The unique

She is Frances Louis's sister.

I saw her once last time with Lawrence Jordan.

She is the same dress as last time, cheongsam with high heels. But she changes another cheongsam.

She really likes cheongsam.

"My sister-in-law, nice to see you!"

She calls me her sister-in-law, which scares me a lot!

Being afraid that others would know of my relationship with Frances Louis, I hastily put my hand over her mouth and pulls her into a corner.

"Please don't call me that! I am not your sister-in-law. My relationship with Frances Louis can't be exposed in public." I tell her.

Actually, I can accept this relationship calmly. But I still feel lost when I mention it to others.

"I say you are my sister-in-law, then you are my sister-in-law."

She takes my hand to go ahead liberally. She says casually, "Jane, you haven't had lunch, right? I got something and need your help. Let's talk about it over lunch."

In fact, when the front desk found me, I was eating. I put my fork aside and come down hearing someone is looking for me.

She is a rich lady, but not pursuing fancy restaurants blindly. She keeps asking me which restaurant is good nearby.

"Two hundred ahead, there is a tacos van, which tastes very good. It's just that the environment is a little..."

Messy...

Before I finish, she nods and says, "Yes, yes, I like tacos the most."

After ordering, she says, "Jane, I know you are a designer. Today I come to see you because I want you to design a pair of rings for me, a unique pair of rings." A pair of rings?

I am confused.

"You are with Lawrence Jordan?" I ask.

She purses her lips, "Not yet, but he won't get away from my hand."

Seeing her confident expression makes me want to laugh. The girl in front of me looks so full of energy, that's what a young girl should look like.

And my heart has grown old.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Silvia Louis." She says sweetly.

Her sweet smile brightens my heart. From the first moment I saw her, I thought she was cute.

"Why you keep looking at me?" She asks me with twinkles in her eyes.

"I am thinking that you are cuter than Frances Louis."

"Sure I am."

We have a long conversation, and she tells me a lot about she and Lawrence Jordan. I am deeply impressed by how much courage it takes for her to chase a man from her tens to her twenties. We finish our tacos. I promise her that I will try my best to design the rings, but I can't guarantee the result.

It's almost 2 o'clock. After saying goodbye to Silvia Louis, I am getting ready to go back to work when I get a call from my mother.

There are some calls you really don't want to take, but you have to take. My mother's phone is one of them.

I sigh and pick up the phone.

"Jane, come back now! Your brother is addicted to drugs, and neither I nor your father can control him."

My mother is almost crying. I am softhearted again.

But thinking of what happened several days ago, I still can't let it go. And Frances Louis helped me get away from that family, if I become softhearted again, everything would be back to square one. "I don't know what to do. You can send him to a rehab." I force myself to ignore them and say coldly.

"I can't watch Frank in so much pain. How about you bring some money and we can solve the immediate problem?" My mother says anxiously.

Suddenly I get her point.

She is crazy!

She makes me give Frank Noyes money to take drugs! Does she know what she's doing?

"I don't have money. All you can do is to send him to the rehab."

"If you don't bring money back, you will see my corpse!" My mother says toughly.

"Stop! Do as I say. I can't fill this bottomless hole." Then I hang up the phone.

I think my mother is just threatening me until I get a call from the hospital.
