In My Desperate Time

I panic and rush downstairs.
Hilda lives in Sabina's room downstairs. The door is held ajar, and there's light in the room.
I don't want to believe that Frances went to Hilda's room, but I still walk to her room.
I peek through the door, and I stiffen in shock.
Frances is lying on Hilda's laps and sleeping soundly.
Rage swells within me.
Isn't he supposed to just comfort Hilda? Why is he lying on her laps now?
I just want to rush in the room, but I can't.
If I went in and yelled at them, it would make me look awkward.
Perhaps, Frances was so sleepy that fell asleep and accidentally lay on Hilda's laps.
I bite my lips and go upstairs.
But I'm not that stupid to let Frances and Hilda spend the night together.
I pick up my phone and call Frances.
After the phone rings for a while, Hilda picks it up.
"Why aren't you coming up yet? I'm so sleepy."
I pretend to be sleepy and yawn widely.
"He's sleeping."
I could tell Hilda lowers her voice and says that complacently on the phone.
I'm a little surprised, but not very.
After all, I've seen Frances lying on her laps.

"Who is it?"
Then I hear Frances’ voice.
Now he's finally awake.
"Oh, it's Jane."
Hilda says plainly. She's no longer as arrogant as before.
I have to say that she's really good at disguising herself in front of Frances.
"I'll be right up."
After saying that, Frances hangs up the phone. Half a minute later, he appears at the door of our bedroom.
I smile at him and pretend to be coquettish. "You said it will only take a while. What took you so long?"
Frances takes off his coat and says without changing his expressions, "It took longer than I expected."
It seems that Frances wouldn't tell me that he fell asleep in Hilda's arms.
Since he doesn't want to say anything, I wouldn't ask any further.
Frances walks over and lies on the bed, hugging me in his arms. He smiles. "You can't sleep without my arms?"
But he smells of Hilda now, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
"You've been busy all day. Aren't you going to take a shower before sleeping?"
"I'm too tired. Let me lie down for a while."
Frances sounds very exhausted.
Normally, I would not force him to shower. But now, he smells of Hilda. How can I sleep with that?
"No, dirty boy. Just take a shower. You'll feel more comfortable that way."
Frances couldn't persuade me, so he gets up and goes to take a bath.

However, I feel more and more distressed.
Today, Frances falls asleep in Hilda's room. What about next time? Could they....
I don't know. I don't even dare to think about it.
The next morning, Earl wakes up very early. I don't want him to disturb Frances’ rest, so I carry him downstairs gently and go for
a walk in the garden.
But I don't expect that old Mr. Louis has also woken up. He looks very well these days. I wonder if it's because Hilda is here.
When old Mr. Louis sees me, his face darkened.
He really doesn't want to see me.
I don't want to annoy old Mr. Louis, so I turn around to walk back to the room.
However, old Mr. Louis says in a deep voice behind me.
"What did you think about the thing I told you last time?"
