A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 47 I Will Give My Heart To Her

At the end of the corridor, Cyrus hurried over.

Avery stood up, his hands shaking. He clenched his hand, loosened it, and clenched it again, but he still could not calm down.

Without waiting for Cyrus to speak, Avery said, “Give me your phone.”

Cyrus was stunned for a moment before he handed over his phone and said worriedly, “Mr. Gallard, you…”

Avery did not reply. He took the phone and started dialing.

His face was darkened as he muttered to himself, “I’ll give her a call. It’s getting dark. It’s time to go back.”

Avery thought, Darlene did not have heart failure. She only had ordinary

heart disease, so she was not the one who the nurse said had been dead.

Avery dialed Darlene’s phone and secretly let out a sigh of relief, waiting for the familiar voice to come over.

However, after several calls, other than the beeping sound and the voice broadcast, there was no other response.

Avery continued to make calls with his shaking hands. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Cyrus. “She must have run away again. She still

doesn’t learn from the lesson.”

Avery thought, Darlene is under my control.

In the past, it was because Darlene loved me very much, but now it was

because I had a handle that could threaten her.

Thinking of this, Avery sent all the photos that Cyrus had on his phone.

There were the photos of Nigel when he was alive, as well as the photos of Darlene’s grandmother in the foreign ICU.

Then, he typed. “Don’t forget that Nigel is dead and his bone ashes are here and your grandma is alive. Come back quickly.”

All the messages that Avery sent out were like a stone sinking into the sea.

Avery stared at the phone’s screen and then staggered towards the end of the corridor. “I’ll go look around and see where she’s hiding.”

Avery thought, Darlene didn’t die.

She didn’t die when she suffered from a miscarriage. She didn’t die when she

was forced to kneel in the heavy rain and vomit blood. She didn’t die when

the hot water was poured into her body. She was alive even after being

tortured in the mental hospital.

She was in good health. She couldn’t die just because she spat out a mouthful

of blood.

It was completely dark. Ever since Avery could walk a year ago, he rarely had any pain in his legs during rainy days.

But now, he suddenly felt pain again, as if something sharp was stabbing into his leg.

His heart also began to hurt. Avery was unable to tell where the pain was.

He comforted himself that Darlene didn’t die, but he could not control that terrible premonition.

It was like a flood that suddenly broke the dam, and it poured down without warning. He tried to hide but found that he could not hide no matter how

hard he tried.

Avery entered the elevator. His hand was shaking when he prepared to press the elevator buttons. He did not know why he pressed the button to the first

floor of the basement.

Avery thought, I should not go there. The emergency room was on another

floor, and I should go to another floor to find Darlene.

He stared at the button which was light and did not reach out to press the other button again. With a ding sound, the elevator stopped on the first floor

of the basement.

When the elevator door opened, what appeared in front of him was a deserted corridor and the dim light in the basement.

There was no sound in all directions. Avery could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat. It was rapid and disordered as if it came from another person.

He stood in the elevator in a daze, then reached out to press the button to

close the elevator. Avery thought, no, I should not come here.

This is a place for the dead. I am looking for Darlene, who is still alive.

Avery reached out his hand, and a burst of rapid footsteps came. Then, a man

passed by the elevator door and noticed Avery in the elevator. He stopped.

Nathen pushed a medical cart covered with white cloth, his eyes were dull.

“Why are you here?”

Avery froze for a moment. He walked out and stared at the medical cart. “Where is Darlene? Where did you take her? Are you acting again?”

Nathen waited for him to come out and pushed the medical cart into the

elevator. His voice was hollow. “Yes, we are acting. Now, this act is over, you

can leave. Don’t be soft-hearted.”

Avery stretched out his hand and grabbed the medical cart. He could no

longer breathe. His throat seemed to be filled with lead, and only the smell of

blood was left.

He would not believe it. “What do you mean? Where is Darlene? Where did you hide her?”

Looking at Avery touching the medical cart, Nathen suddenly lost his

temper. “Let go, you don’t deserve to touch her.”

Avery was angry. He grabbed Nathen and pushed him to the side. “Where is she? Don’t cheat me. You have played many tricks in front of me.”

Avery used a lot of strength, and Nathen uncontrollably staggered back two

steps. Nathen pulled the corner of the white cloth in his hand, and as he

retreated, the white cloth was pulled away.

The white cloth covering the corpse fell to the ground lightly, revealing

Darlene’s deathly pale and cold face on the medical cart.

Nathen’s eyes were terrifyingly red. He crawled up from the ground and

pounced toward Avery, throwing punches at him.

“You bastard, Darlene has been dead. Why don’t you still let her go?”

Avery did not react at all, only staring fixedly at the person on the medical

cart.

Nathen’s fists fell on his face like raindrops. Avery did not resist at all. He

staggered to the ground, and only fear was left in his eyes.

The blood from his nose and the corner of his mouth was smeared all over

his face. Nathen beat him up ruthlessly, cursing.

Avery did not listen to anything, and with a buzzing sound in his ears, he

crawled towards the medical cart.

He reached out and touched the hand hanging by the medical cart, only to

find that Darlene’s arm was so thin that his index finger and thumb were

more than enough to wrap around it.

His stomach suddenly surged, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spat out,

splashing on the snow-white sheets and Darlene’s deathly pale arm.

Avery shook his hand and wiped the blood off her arm. A great fear came

over, and he reached out to pat her face. “Darlene, what are you doing? Why are you lying here?”

His words were incoherent. Avery had never imagined that he would face Darlene’s death without any warning.

“You’re scaring me, aren’t you? Alright, I’m scared. Get up. It’s too cold here.

Let’s go back.”

Avery got up in a flurry and picked Darlene up.

Nathen rushed over to stop him. “Don’t touch her. What right do you have to

do that? When she was dying in the ambulance and called you, where were

you?

“She was waiting for the rescue. But she only had 800 dollars. Where were you at that time? You were taking care of another woman. You left her behind. Avery, what right do you have?”

Avery protected Darlene in his arms tightly. His face was pale. “She is my

wife. I will treat her well. I will treat her well in the future.”

A doctor rushed over. He knew Avery and chose to stop Nathen.

Avery carried Darlene and left the hospital. When they reached the

underground garage, he placed her in the front passenger seat and carefully

fastened the seat belt.

Avery got into the car and held Darlene’s hand in his palm, but could warm

Avery said with a trembling voice, “Let’s go home. Darlene, there’s no one else there, only the two of us.”

As he spoke, he could no longer continue, and he sobbed, “Darlene, what should I do? I didn’t know that you were sick. I’ll give you my heart, and you can live well.’

The heavy rain hit the car window, and Avery couldn’t think clearly about anything, leaving only despair in his heart.

“I can’t accept it. I never imagined it.”

Chapter 48 Avery Harms Himself

By the time Avery arrived in Southwood Villa, it was already late at night.

It was raining more and more, and there was a very heavy white fog outside

the car window.

Avery’s eyes were dull. He leaned over to help Darlene unbuckle the seat belt.

Avery thought, this is the home that belonged to Darlene and me. I didn’t

treat her well in the past, but I will treat her very well in the future.

I hurt her too much in the past and I will make it up to her.

In Southwood Villa, Mary and a few servants came out to welcome him. The

servants helped Avery open the car door and then held the umbrella for him.

When Avery went to the front passenger seat and carried Darlene, who had

already passed away, the servants were so scared that they almost screamed

out, and their faces were pale.

Avery looked at them fiercely. The servants immediately lowered their

heads, trembling, and did not dare to reveal any fear.

The rainy night in late autumn was very cold. There was a lot of rain in

Baltimore, but it was very rare to see such heavy rain in autumn.

Avery covered Darlene with his coat and carefully carried her in. He went

upstairs step by step.

After Avery went upstairs, Mary was about to send a message to Vivian. Not long after, she saw that things began to be thrown down from upstairs one

after another.

First, Vivian’s clothes, slippers, skin care products, and cosmetics were
