In My Desperate Time

"I will shoulder all of your fears and uneasiness with you."
He looks at me with tenderness.
Again, my heart melts for this man.
The waiting is painful and long.
Frances has been holding my hand, making me feel at ease.
Fortunately, I can rely on him right now.
Half an hour later, Frances’ phone rings and I begin to feel nervous.
He turns on the speaker so that I can hear it, too.
"Mr. Frances, according to our investigation, it is two black men who has kidnapped Ms. Noyes’ mother. She might have been
hurt as there was blood on her head when she was carried out by the black men. But we have not found out about the two black
men."
Two black men?
It was supposed to be a woman. How come it turns out to be two black men?
Things have been even more complicated.
Moreover, it is said that mom has been injured, so how is she now?
Because of nervousness, I have been constantly sweating. Frances feels it and clutches to my hands even more tightly.
"What else? Before the accident, is there any strange things happening around their house?" Frances asks in a deep voice.
The person hesitates for a while before saying, "Yes, it's just..."
It seems that there is something that he can't say.
"Just what? Say it!"
"It's just that the person walking around at the door was Madame."

Madame?
Sabina?
Why would she hang out in front of my house? Did she have anything to do with my mom's disappearance?
Frances puts on a serious look as if thinking of something. He asks sternly, "Where is my mother now?"
"I don't know. I heard that Madam just canceled the concert in Vienna and said that she was going to travel. I'm not sure about
the exact destination."
"Check it up! Find out what my mother has been doing recently and report it to me as soon as possible."
I feel Frances’ nervousness. It is not like him.
He seems to know something.
Hanging up the phone, I ask Frances, "What's wrong? Aren't you looking for those two black men? Why do you begin to
investigate your mother?"
I find it strange about Sabina's showing up there. But I can't tell exactly what is wrong.
He turns around and looks at me, but insists, "Nothing. I'm just concerned about her. I'll have people investigate those two black
men. My men should be able to find them soon. Don't worry."
Frances gently kisses me on the forehead to calm me down.
However, I think he looks weird, as if he is hiding something from me.
I don't want him to hide anything from me. But it doesn't seem that he is going to tell me at all.
Now, I can only wait for the information.
"Take a shower and go ahead to sleep. I still have work to do, so I won't accompany you for now."
Then he gets up and goes into the study.
I hear Frances whispering on the phone for the whole night, but I can't hear what he is talking about.

I don't like it, but he has long been hiding things from me. I guess there are things that I can't force.
