Chapter 49 Does it hurt?

I am afraid about his concern.

Every time he calls me over, I couldn't get out of bed the next day. Now my waist is not good, if he
tortures me again, I will lose half of my life.

Reluctantly, I go over and stand in front of him.

Without speaking, Frances Louis looks at me quietly, her eyes as gentle as water. His gentleness
makes me feel that he is not looking at me, but want to see someone's shadow from me.

I don’t ask. I don’t dare to, nor want to.

My 1.6-meter-figure is completely crushed in front of Frances Louis's 1.8 or higher height, and my neck
is a little sore.

I still have an injury on my waist. It hurts after standing for so long. I don't have such good spirit to
waste time with him here.

“What?” I can’t help asking.

My arm is seized by him and moved forward. I slip into his arms defenselessly.

He holds me in his arms, put his head on my head, rubbing my back, and finally his hand settle on the
right of my waist.

“Does it hurt?” He presses lightly, and I inhale deeply.

“You tell me.” I roll my eyes.

It hurts if you don't touch it, let alone when he presses it.



“You deserve it.” He says and then pushes me away. His face blackens again.

Damn him! Why? Why I deserve it? I am the victim.

I want to complain but do not dare to offend him. I can only swallow the complaints down.

But Frances Louis changes his face too quickly! Just know he was so gentle appearance, and after a
blink, he treats me like a stranger.

“You won't have to go to work this month.” He says.

“If I don't go to work, what shall I eat, and how to return your money?!” I roll my eyes and say coldly.

I have asked for three days' leave. Steven Song is kind to me. I am already grateful that he doesn’t
deduct my salary. If I continue don't going to work, it will make me like spoiled and arrogant.

Rich people like Frances Louis do not understand the sufferings of the poor. How am I going to get out
of this life if I don't make enough money soon?

“If you go to work, your brother will be in jail.” Frances Louis says coldly, and leaves the room.

I am so angry but can’t speak out. I can only call Steven Song and ask for a week's leave.

Frances Louis said this month, and today is the 23rd. I can go to work next month. I exploit the
advantage perfectly.

I cook the meal, and Frances Louis sits opposite me, eating slowly.

“It tastes not good.” He tastes the sweet and sour ribs and says with a frown.

I know he thinks I made it too sweet. When I put the sugar, I pull my waist and my hand shake a bit. So
I put all the sugar into the pot. I tried to take some sugar out, but I failed.



“Oh, I will be careful next time.” I answer him casually.

Frances Louis seems dissatisfied with my attitude and frowns. I am about to say something when my
cell phone rings.

Not many people would call me, so I can guess who it is.

Yes, as I expected.

“I heard you are in hospital.” My mother asks.

Then she changes the subject quickly.

“How is everything going with your brother? He dares not turn the phone on now, also dares not go out
of the house, how long will us suffer a day like this?”

I feel very tired, don't want to listen to my mother say one more word, and hang up the phone.

For those three days, only Mindy and David Gibbs came to the hospital to see me. My heart is very
lonely. I feel I am alone in this world, I only have myself to depend on.

And my mom didn't see me even if she knew I was in the hospital. Is there only my brother in her
mind?

Frances Louis heads up and looks at me, knowing everything.

I'm too upset to eat. Then the phone rings again

I pick up and prepare to roar.

“Enough! Would you…”



“Jane Noyes, what's the matter?” From the other end of the phone comes a gentle male voice.

This voice is a little familiar.

I look at the screen. My heart skips a beat.

Noah Jefferson.

He was my high school crush, and even now, seeing his name would make my heart race.

“Hey, what’s up?” My face is slightly hot and my voice softens.

“Tomorrow's class reunion, I'm afraid you forget, I call to remind you.” says Noah Jefferson.

It occurs to me that my high school classmates made an appointment for a class party tomorrow last
month. There has been so much going on lately that if Noah Jefferson hadn't called, I might have
forgotten.

“Ok, I see. Thank you.”

I am going to hang up, but Noah Jefferson suddenly adds.

“Jane, you must come.”
