In My Desperate Time

Chapter 470: I Am Worried About Him

On this day, I take Earl back to see my mother and Frank.

This is the first time Mom has seen Earl. She is overjoyed.

"Is this ... Earl?"

Mom hugs Earl and smiles. Even her voice trembles.

She really likes Earl.

Moreover, Earl is the first new member to our family for so many years. Therefore, everyone is very happy.

Mom hugs Earl for a while, and Frank, who has been standing beside and watching, can't hold back any longer.

"Mom, you've been hugging Earl for a while. It's my turn."

Frank speaks with anticipation. When he looks at Earl, his eyes are sparkling. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

If it were a year ago, I would not have imagined such a harmonious scene in our family.

But now, even though we have lost Dad, we do become closer.

I guess, sometimes, fortune and misfortune just depend on each other.

"Why don't you go and have your own child? I've got one grandson and I'm still expecting another one from you!"

Mom rolls her eyes at Frank and speaks angrily.

Frank sighs helplessly and says with a bitter smile, "Mom, I'm only 22. I've just reached the legal age for marriage. Could you please calm down?"

"Who cares about the legal age for marriage? In this county, there are so many guys who have had their own child before 20 years old. Look at you! You don't even have a girlfriend now, so hurry up!"

Although she says so, she still hands Earl over to Frank.

Frank carefully takes Earl over and gently pinches his little face. He smiles and says, "Little Earl, I'm your uncle. Do you like me? Your grandmother is really rude, isn't she? Let's not play with her in the future."

As he speaks, he takes Earl out.

"You brat!"

Mom is so angry that she motorizes the wheelchair to chase after Frank with a stick in hand.

I smile and continue to make dumplings.

After lunch, I text Frances and ask him when he will come.

He tells me that he is busy and asks me to take a taxi back.

These days, because of Lawrence, Frances has been very busy with the company's affairs. He only sleeps for two or three hours a day.

Actually, I'm worried about him and I don't want to bother him. But, this morning, it was him that has insisted on coming to pick me up.

Since he won't come, I can only take a taxi back.

Mom and Frank have packed some local specialties for me and come to see me off on the street.

While waiting for the taxi at the roadside, I suddenly see Master Lee from the cake shop.

Thinking about what Whitney has done, which almost killed my parents, I feel somewhat distressed.

However, hasn't he been locked up in the police station? How come he has been released so soon?

Moreover, he is taking a suitcase with him. Is he going to leave?

Confused, I hand Earl to my mother.

"Mom, I'll be right back. Take care of Earl."

Mom doesn't ask anything and continues to catch the taxi for me with Earl in her arms.

I follow up and see Master Lee on the phone.

"I know. I will leave here and will never come back. They will keep thinking that Whitney has done this. Don't worry."

What does he mean by that?

Does this mean that the person who has poisoned my mother and brother is not Whitney?
