In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 154

I go back to Virginia with Frances the next day.

Steven calls and tells me that Mangalore had already asked Nicole Snow over to draw again and talk about her design inspiration.

To be honest, I don’t hold much hope. Nicole is not an untalented person. It is not difficult for her to do this. Stealing my drawings is perhaps only for revenge.

I can't go to the company, and I am too afraid to draw at home. All I can do is to sleep in the room.

The strange thing is that Frances hasn't been to work in the past two days. And I don’t know what he does in the room every day.

I can only see him at breakfast, lunch and dinner. After all, he is taking me out to eat.

On this day, when I come back from dinner, the car almost runs into two people as soon as it drives into the villa area.

I quickly get out of the car when I see their faces.

I should have seen that coming.

“Dad, mom, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?”

Mom and dad stop in front of the car, looking awe-inspiring.

“My son is dead. What am I going to live for!" Mom wipes her tears, looking stubborn.

Sure enough, they are here because of Frank Noyes.

“He is in jail, not dead!” I shout.

“You unfilial daughter, he is your brother! He hasn't had any hardship since he was a child. Putting him in jail is like killing him!”

Mom rushes over, pulls my hair and throws me to the ground.

I sit on the ground numbly, listening to my mother yelling at me.

“How did I raise a daughter like you? You only care about yourself, and never cared about our family! When I was hospitalized, you didn't even ask about it. I would’ve strangled you to death if I knew you were an ungrateful soul!”

Each word breaks my heart.

What am I to her? It's not that I don't love my parents, but they hurt me over and over again so that I don't even have the courage to get close to them.

All the beautiful illusions at the beginning are shattered, and I cannot even find the meaning of life.
