A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 117 An Abrupt Deterioration
Avery said, “Darlene, just this once, I will be more careful.”
Avery could not control his emotions and was anxious to prove that he was different from Gustave.
Avery thought at least he could have sex with Darlene lawfully while Gustave could not.
When Avery’s voice fell into Darlene’s ears, Darlene shivered. A sudden chill rushed. from the soles of her feet to the top of her
head. She only felt cold.
Darlene thought, it is Avery after all. He has never truly been soft–hearted to me.
Even if Avery clearly knows my physical condition and that I’m about to die, he would still not let me go.
Fear overcame her anger. Darlene turned pale and reached back for the car door.
Thinking that the car door must have been locked, Darlene clutched the edge of the seat under her, trying to move up and free
herself.
Just as Darlene’s feet moved up, Avery’s knees pressed against her calf, and she could
not move.
Darlene was frozen and shivering with cold..
Darlene’s face turned pale, and she was so frightened that only her instinct to survive was left. Her voice was too quivering to
hear clearly. “Avery, I’m really dying. Just let
me go.”
Avery pressed his body down and leaned over to the side of Darlene’s face. “You forget. everything about Gustave, everything
before you turned 12, OK?
“You didn’t have a past until you were 12. You came to the Gallard family at the age of
need to twelve and we got married at the age of twenty. This is enough. That’s all you

remember.”
Darlene did not answer Avery. Her face was pale and her body could not bear it. She could only beg him, “I’m not a tool to vent
your anger. I’m really tired. Please go to someone else, and give me a break.”
Avery broke into laughter, and he unconsciously increased his strength. “You don’t
want to. Ten years have passed, and you are still thinking about that man.”
Avery stared at Darlene fiercely. “Then why have you been messing with me for all these years? Why have you been with me for
so many years, saying that you love me? Why didn’t you go to that man earlier? He is your savior. How deep your feeling for him
is! Why didn’t you go to him earlier?”
Darlene was trembling with the pain in her heart, and the top of her head fell against the door time and time again. She was
shaking more and more.
“It hurts, Avery. Why not hurry up and kill me?”
Avery pushed aside the messy hair on Darlene’s forehead. He felt that he could no longer see her eyes clearly. He could no
longer find his own shadow in those eyes.
Avery felt so annoyed and was unwilling to let go of Darlene. “So even in death, you still remember that man?
“You are in a hurry to divorce and go to him. After he manages to cure you, you two will be together in love. The next time I see
you, should I call you Mrs. Walpole?”
After Avery finished speaking, he remembered that Darlene and he had been married for two years, and he had never asked
anyone to call Darlene Mrs. Gallard.
All these years, Avery had always disdained revealing their marriage. Darlene was more
like his secret lover than his wife.
Now, Avery realized that their marriage was already one of the few things in his hands.
Cold sweat broke out on Darlene’s forehead. The fine sweat wet the hair on her
forehead. She closed her eyes and had no energy left to say another word.

Avery continued regardless of Darlene’s pain, “I’m telling you, no way.
“No matter how painful it is for you to stay with me, don’t even think about going to someone else and living happily. It’s in
everyone’s best interest for you to stay here and live your life.”
Darlene below Avery did not react at all. Darlene’s eyes were tightly closed and her lips
were pale.
Darlene looked as if she were asleep or unconscious, and the only evidence that she was alive and awake was the constant grip
and release of her fingers.
Everything was done and the car had already stopped outside the hospital.
Seeing Avery was still in the back seat with no intention of getting out of the car, Colin. got out of the car and left sensibly, waiting
in a place not far away.
Avery put on his clothes and helped Darlene tidy up. Seeing that she still had her eyes closed, he patted her side face a few
times with his palm.
“Here we are. Let’s get out.”
Darlene’s fingertips quivered, and for a moment there was no other response.
Avery wanted to push the door open and carry Darlene out. Just as he reached out to push the door open, his phone rang.
It was a call from the hospital. Avery guessed that it should be Giovanni. He had already made an appointment with Giovanni to
bring Darlene over to the hospital in the
afternoon.
However, Avery was a little late.
After answering the call, an anxious voice immediately came over, “Mr. Gallard, Reina’s condition has suddenly worsened. I’m
afraid her life is in danger. She has been taken to the emergency room and a critical condition notice was given. Please come
over immediately with your wife!”
It was very quiet in the car. The voice from Avery’s phone vaguely entered Darlene’s

ears.
Darlene did not really fall asleep. She was just too tired to move much.
Hearing the words from the other side of the line, Darlene suddenly opened her eyes, eagerly supported the back of her seat,
and sat up in a panic.
Avery’s voice was cold. “What’s going on? Didn’t you call this morning and say everything was fine?”
The nurse got flustered on the other side of the line and said in a panic, “When we took
Reina to the emergency room, she kept mumbling about the death of her precious
grandson.
“Perhaps, Reina suddenly heard some bad news, and what patients fear most is
irritation.”
Avery pushed open the door and got out of the car. Darlene, who was behind him, was already in a hurry to get out of the car.
Darlene bypassed him and directly ran into the hospital inpatient building.
Darlene was so tired that she staggered as she ran in, holding up against the wall
outside the elevator.
Darlene’s hair was unkempt and her dress, which on closer inspection could be seen to be a little crumpled. This caught others‘
attention.
A man looked over and took a second look then. The appearance of a beautiful woman in such a look was bound to draw
people’s attention, and there was a hint of ambiguity in
the gazes.
The man nearby was mesmerized when a voice sounded from behind him, “Does it look good? Do you want a closer look?”
Avery approached Darlene and wrapped a coat around her. He held her in his arms, blocking the gazes of the men who were
peeking at her.

The man glanced at Avery. When the man saw a pair of cold eyes, he immediately turned around and hurriedly left. The man
even forgot about entering the elevator and going
upstairs.
Darlene did not react. She did not feel what Avery said or did, nor did she notice the
gazes of those men.
Darlene only stared at the number outside the elevator, waiting for the elevator to come
down.
Darlene thought, how could Reina know that Nigel was dead? Someone must have secretly told her, just like how someone had
provoked Nigel in the past and caused Nigel to have a car accident.
Darlene clenched her fists tightly until the elevator door opened. A woman wearing a mask and sunglasses walked past Darlene
face to face.
The woman quickly lowered her head and hurried outside. She even accidentally bumped into someone.
Darlene recalled that glance and subconsciously said, “That person looks familiar.”
Avery immediately looked at Colin who followed in. “Go out and follow the woman in
the sunglasses, see if you recognize her.”
