Chapter 43 Avery’s Fear of Truth

Vivian walked into the living room and looked at Roselyn in disbelief.

“Roselyn, there’s no enmity between us. Why do you frame me?

“I know you are the servant of Mrs. Gallard and want to defend her. You can

say that I was going abroad on my own, but how can you misunderstand the

relationship between me and Mr. Bullock?

Avery looked over. “I asked my bodyguard to stay in the hospital. Why do you

come back so soon?”

Vivian walked to Avery’s side, looking depressed. “I saw you left in a hurry. I

was worried that something might have happened to you, so I followed you

back.”

Avery was not anxious to make a judgment. He pointed at the sofa beside

him. “Don’t worry. Let’s sit down and have a talk. Roselyn has served Mrs.

Gallard for twenty years. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding.”

He clearly did not believe that Roselyn would lie to frame Vivian.

It was not easy for Vivian to frame Roselyn like how she had dealt with Darlene previously.

Vivian was thinking about what she should do when Roselyn sneered and

said to her, “Now that you’re here, you can be confronted with me.

“As far as I know, three years ago, after Mr. Gallard was in a coma due to the

car accident, Mrs. Gallard told me with anger that you have said to her that you would not marry a cripple. The next day, you went to the airport with Mr.

Bullock and flew to London.”

These words were somewhat familiar. Avery remembered that when Darlene was forced to kneel in the heavy rain, she also said that.

She said that Vivian disliked him for being a cripple and that Vivian was in love with another man.

It was only at this moment that he could not help but be a little suspicious.

But he found that he did not even dare to doubt these things.

He was afraid of wronging Vivian. What’s worse, he could not imagine if Darlene was not the one to be blamed, how much harm he had done to her.

Vivian sobbed softly. “Roselyn, I would never have said such words. If I had not been forced to go abroad, I definitely could not abandon Avery after he had such a serious car accident. I have been abroad for the past few years, and I have been living in pain every day.”

She didn’t give Roselyn any chance to speak. “I know that you have taken care of Mrs. Gallard for so many years. You are a very good person and will

never deliberately frame me.

“But you or Mrs. Gallard must have heard wrong. Also, the person who

forced me to go abroad claimed to be Mrs. Gallard’s person. But now I don’t

think what he said is true, because he had no reason to tell me about his

identity.

“Perhaps there is also a misunderstanding between me and Mrs. Gallard.”

Roselyn said disdainfully, “Well, now you can’t cover it up, so you stop blaming Mrs. Gallard?”

Vivian said with a trembling voice, “I have never thought of blaming Mrs. Gallard. It’s just that the person who forced me to go abroad did say that he

followed Mrs. Gallard’s order.

“I also heard him talking on the phone. He said “Ms. Garcia” and told Ms. Garcia to tell Mrs. Gallard that the thing was done. That made me guess that

it was Mrs. Gallard and Ms. Garcia who asked me to go abroad.”

“Ms. Sheridan, you are good at acting. You know that you can’t frame Mrs.

Gallard, so you simply put all the blame on Ms. Garcia.

“How ungrateful you are! Mrs. Gallard should not have been soft–hearted

She looked at Vivian’s lower abdomen and sneered. “I heard that you came back to the country, and you’re pregnant, right?

“Jax is probably the baby’s father. Why are you so shameless? Mrs. Gallard has passed away, and why are you still slandering her?

Vivian’s tears dropped more. “Roselyn, I never wanted to slander Mrs.

Gallard. If it really had nothing to do with Mrs. Gallard, I was also tricked by

that person.

“As for Ms. Garcia, I did hear that man call her name on the phone. Perhaps I

misunderstood something and was fooled by someone.”

“Mrs. Gallard is not alive anyway. You can make up stories as you want,”

Roselyn said coldly.

“You hadn’t come back for three years. How can you come back so coincidentally after Mrs. Gallard passed away? How can you be so despicable

and shameless…”

Avery had gotten what he wanted to know and interrupted Roselyn. “Well, Roselyn, maybe Vivian wasn’t clear about what happened then. You must be tired after a long–time of travel. Cyrus will arrange a place for you to stay. Go

and relax.‘

Roselyn did not say much. “Thank you, Mr. Gallard. I’ve watched you grow up. I still want to remind you that you should be careful about the people

around you.”

Vivian sobbed on the side. Roselyn glanced at her in disgust and took her

luggage out with Cyrus.

Once Roselyn left, Avery stood up and looked at Vivian. “Have a good rest. I will go to the company.”

Vivian looked up at him. She looked sad. “Avery, the sun is rising. You haven’t slept all night. Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Avery seemed to not see the tears on her face. He took his suit jacket and

said, “No. I’m busy. I’ll go out. You can sleep for a while.”

Vivian still wanted to say something, but Avery had already left.

He did not go to the company but went to the hospital.

Nigel had left the emergency room and entered the ward. Darlene was with

him inside.

Avery went outside the ward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

The one who opened the door was Darlene, but she stood at the door and did

not allow him to enter.

Her eyes were cold, as if she wanted to dig a hole in his face. “What? Are you here to laugh at me?”

Avery was not sure what the truth was, but he felt as if he had already

confirmed it.

That sense of guilt surged up uncontrollably, and he said stiffly, “I have contacted the donator that Mr. Walpole found for you.

“He was given a notice of critical illness. Within the next three days, he will

donate his heart. Your brother still has the opportunity.”

Darlene looked at him with a colder gaze. “Stop faking it. Avery, Nigel is seriously injured. The doctor said he couldn’t undergo any surgery within a month, including the heart transplant.”

Avery stood outside the door and suddenly felt as if there was a thorn in his flesh. “How could this be? Why is he heavily injured?”

Darlene told him word by word, “Please tell Vivian that I will make her pay sooner or later. I want her to die.”

She stared at Avery. “Of course, I want you to die as well.”

When she finished speaking, she slammed the door shut.

Avery stood outside the door for a long time. Only when he sat down on the chair in the corridor and lit a cigarette did he realize that his hands were trembling.

He tried a few times. When he finally lit it up, a nurse warned him in disgust,

“Sir, this is the area of wards. Please do not smoke.‘

Avery frowned. In the end, he did not say a word and put out the cigarette on

the ground.

He got up and walked to the end of the corridor. He wanted to take a breath

of fresh air in front of the window. Cyrus followed behind him.

It was four or five o’clock in the morning. The chill wind blew on his face. He did not sleep all night, but he did not feel sleepy. At this moment, he

suddenly felt panicked.

He said, “Cyrus, do you think Roselyn might be lying?”

Cyrus used to be very cautious when speaking and would not say with

absoluteness. But this time, he said firmly, “No.”

Avery’s voice was a little hoarse. “But how could Vivian do that? She even

risked her life to save me.”

Cyrus was silent for a moment before asking a question that he had wanted to ask a long time ago. “Sir, why are you so sure that the one who saved is

Ms. Sheridan?”
