In My Desperate Time

Chapter 6 Women need to be nourished

I smile bitterly and sit down at the gate of the company. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mom, did Susan Felton tell you this?”

“You can't blame others judging you because of what you did! How could I have a daughter like you? What a shame! You go to the police station and explain right now. Then I will take you to Andrew Malan’s house begging for his forgiveness. Anyway, what would you do if you lost Andrew Malan such a good man!”

I don't want to explain to my mom how disgusting this good man in her eyes is. It is useless to explain this to a woman who has devoted her whole life for men.

“I have already said that I want to divorce. No matter what you say, I will divorce anyway.”

I hang up the phone and take a taxi to my best friend Mindy Sue's house. She is my best friend in college.

I knock at the door for a while. Mindy Sue comes out wearing a silky slip dress with blurred eyes and flushed face. Have her boyfriend David Gibbs come back from the business trip?

“Jane, you look not well. Who make trouble to you?”

I go into the house. David Gibbs is sitting on the couch with an unsatisfied look on his face. I definitely disturbed their love making.

“Let's go inside and talk.”

Mindy Sue and I go into the room. I tell her everything from last night to today.

After listening, she asks me curiously, “How does he look? The man you spent the night with. How is he?”

“Is your brain circuit different from the normal? Shouldn't you give me some advice now?”

“What else advice can there be? Of course, you should divorce that scum! The you can find that handsome man driving Maybach. Men are clothes. With so man men in this world, I can change clothes every day as long as I am happy.” Mindy Sue says indignantly.

Her words make me feel helpless and want to laugh.

“Jane, you can stay with me as long as you want.”

I close my eyes and lie on the bed. My heart is so exhausted, and I just leave the phone ring over and over again.

Mindy Sue's seductive moaning comes from the next room. It makes me feel horny. The sound quiets down after over an hour. Mindy Sue comes in with a flushed face, “Jane, David Gibbs and I are going out to buy some vegetables. We will come back soon.”

I nod and check lots of missed calls on my phone.

Shortly afterwards, someone is knocking at the door. I think that would be Mindy Sue forgetting the key.

I open the door and run into my parents’ sullen faces.

“Dad, mom, why do you come here?”

I am going to close the door subconsciously, but my dad blocks the door quickly.

“You think you can hide here and we can't find? Now! Go to the police station with us!”

“Do what I say. When Andrew Malan comes out, you come back with him and live obediently.” I am dragged into the car by my parents. She sees I don't speak and grinds her teeth in anger, “If you don't listen to me, I will just kill myself!” She leaves these words and runs into the middle of the road.

There is a car speeding fast toward us. I scream, run to my mum and hold her.

No pain as I expected there would be. The car stops about one meter away from us. My mother is scared and collapses on the ground.

Aman gets off from the car. I couldn't see his face because of the backlight.

“Do you need to go to hospital?” The man comes up and says in a deep voice. Such familiar.

I look up and try to look at his face. I am stunned.
