In My Desperate Time

Chapter 493: I Have a Gift for You

Thinking that I haven't seen Earl today, I panicked.

"Where's Earl? Where did you take him?"

I shout at the phone.

If Hilda dares to do anything to Earl, I will not let her off!

Even if I lose my life, I will make her pay!

"Don't worry, he's still in the lobby. The babysitter is there. If you don't believe me, you can ask Frances."

I hurriedly hang up the phone and call Frances.

The phone is quickly picked up. Frances’ voice is cheerful.

"What's wrong? You've missed me just for this while?" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

He is in a good mood because of today's wedding.

But now, I am anxious. I don't want to joke with him.

"Frances, have you seen Earl? Where is he?"

"Looks like Earl is much more important to you than me. Have you forgotten that today is our wedding?" Frances becomes a little dissatisfied.

He doesn't know what has happened, so he is relax. But now, I'm with the deepest anxiety!

"Stop joking! I'm asking you where is Earl? Where is my Earl?" I shouted at him. My heart is in my mouth.

Frances is probably frightened by me. He pauses and says, "Alright, don't worry. I'll take a look."

I don't say anything and wait quietly.

Every minute and every second feels like torture.

Frances replies quickly.

"Earl is with his babysitter. He's awake now. He seems to be happy and he is looking all around."

I finally relax.

"What exactly happened?" Frances probably notices that something is wrong with me and asks.

"Nothing."

I whisper. Then I hang up the phone, and quickly call Hilda.

"My son is fine. Why did you call me?"

Just now I am very careful when I speak to Hilda. Now that I know Earl is fine, I feel relieve and my voice becomes louder.

The wedding is supposed to be perfect. Now Hilda almost ruins my mood.

I really don't want to be polite to her.

"He is fine now, but it doesn't mean he'll be fine later. Even if he'll be fine later, it doesn't mean he'll be fine forever."

Hilda's voice is never emotional, but what she says makes me shiver.

"Cut the cackle! Just tell me what you want!"

I ask sharply.

"It's no big deal. Today is the day you and Frances get married. As Frances’ illegitimate wife, I have to give you a gift."

Gift?

It must be a Greek gift!

I don't dare to accept that.

"Take back your gift. I don't care. If there's nothing else, I'll go. I don't want to be affected by you on my important day."

After saying that coldly, I want to hang up the phone.

But Hilda's words make me restless.

"My gift has been sent out, there is no reason to take it back. Furthermore, even if I want to, I may not be able to do that. Because I already gave my gift to your lovely son, Earl."

"What do you mean? What have you done?" My entire body trembles uncontrollably. I hold my breath, waiting for Hilda's reply.
