In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 384

"I know them."

I say calmly.

"Who are they?" The policeman immediately asks.

"My ex-husband, Andrew, and his mother, Susan." I say in a deep voice.

Frances looks at me in surprise.

"Are you sure? The camera didn't even take their faces. Have you mistaken?" The policeman asks doubtfully.

"No. I'm sure it's them."

Actually, I've always wanted to let go of those unpleasant memories. However, I can recognize the mother and son whatever they become.

I am also surprised to see them, but I am sure that my eyes don't deceive me.

Andrew comes to Frances' house to find me for money before. It's likely that he kidnaps old Mr. Louis for money too.

Frances' phone rings.

He quickly picks it up and turns on the speakerphone as instructed by the policeman.

The policemen sit in front of the computer and begin to locate Andrew.

"Hello. It's Mr. Frances, right?" Andrew laughs on the phone.

I feel uncomfortable with his laughter.

I still don't understand why I marry such a person before. If Frances hasn't taken me away from Andrew, I can't imagine what I would have suffered.

But it has been so long, why should I still live in his shadow?

"Give me a price." Frances says coldly. He knows Andrew's purpose.

"Mr. Frances is really straightforward. Well, I will go straight to the point. If you want this old man to be safe, give me 100 million!"

A hundred million? Is Andrew crazy?

Not only me, but all the policemen present gasp.

Everyone knows that it is a large sum. It's a goal that most people can't achieve even in ten lifetimes.

"I'll go take a look first."

As Frances speaks, he strides out.

Frances doesn't ask the police to follow him in case that it will alert Andrew and anger him.

I sit in the front passenger seat and look at Frances, who has a solemn expression on his face. I can't help but feel a little worried.

Although he doesn't say anything, I can tell that he is really nervous.

"Frances, old Mr. Louis will be fine."

I put my hand on his slightly cold hand and whisper.

He glances at me and nods. Then he drives a little faster.

Two hours later, we arrive at the fork in the southern mountainous area.

However, it's a meadow. There is no place to hide. Where could Andrew be?

Under the instructions of the police, we find the phone Andrew left behind in the bushes by the roadside.
