A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 14 Darlene Stabs Herself
Vivian did not come in. Jax pressed Darlene down on the bed and took her phone.
On the phone screen, the recording was not over yet.
Jax deleted the recording, threw the phone aside, and directly pressed
Darlene’s shoulder.
He whispered, “Even if you tell Avery what happened between Vivian and me, he won’t believe you. Because I will fuck you
now.”
Darlene was still wrapped in bandages. With Jax pressing her down, her
hands could not move.
Darlene’s stomach churned violently, and she was filled with despair. She could only turn her head and bite Jax’s arm.
Jax groaned in pain. As soon as he let go, Darlene broke free and ran to the bottom of the bed in a panic. She screamed while
raising her hand to touch
the call button on the bed.
Jax grabbed Darlene’s hair and pushed her back onto the bed. “Stop
dreaming. Do you think you can run away? I haven’t had fun in the hospital, so I’ll fuck you today.”
Darlene couldn’t help but throw it out. Her mouth was covered by Jax, but she struggled with all her might.
The door was pushed open. Jax probably didn’t expect Avery to come so quickly. Before Jax could come around, his body had
been lifted.
Avery threw a punch straight at Jax’s face, but Jax was completely unprepared. He took a few steps back and crashed into the
wall.
Darlene’s clothes on the upper right shoulder were torn open. She stood up

with a pale face and pulled the blanket aside to cover her upper body tightly, shrinking to the corner of the bed.
If Avery hadn’t arrived in time, Jax would have fucked her.
Darlene felt so disgusted and fearful that her eyes turned frighteningly red as she stared at Jax, who was sitting on the ground.
When Jax saw Avery grab a fruit knife from the coffee table and approach
him without saying a word, he was truly flustered. He retreated while
explaining.
“Listen to me, she seduced me. I originally came to find you and thought that you were at Ms. Sheridan’s ward, but I happened to
see Darlene fall in the
corridor.
“She said that she could not move, so I helped her come in. But the moment she came in, she begged me to help her leave
here. She said she was willing
to do everything, so I...”
Without waiting for Jax to finish, Avery became angry. He directly grabbed
Jax’s collar and dragged him out.
Vivian immediately followed, wanting to stop Avery. “Avery, don’t be rash.
Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. Or perhaps, could it be that Mr. Bullock got drunk?”
As Avery walked out, he glanced at Vivian. “Don’t follow me.”
Vivian unconsciously stopped. Cold sweat seeped out of her hands.
This was the first time Avery had spoken to her so expressionlessly.
She had thought that by calling Avery over and making up a lie, she would be
able to easily push all the blame onto Darlene just as she did before. Then Jax could get away with it.

Avery dragged Jax all the way from the corridor to the fire exit. This was a
blind spot. No surveillance cameras could capture them. Almost no one
would come here.
Avery did not say a single word. He raised his hand to release his tie and threw it on the ground, punching at Jax again and
again.
Jax could not dodge in time and almost rolled down the pitch–black corridor. When he reached out to hold the handrail of the
corridor, his head was
sweating.
Avery’s hand was covered in blood. When he saw that Jax was covered in blood, he asked, “What? Don’t you dare to fight
back?”
Indeed, Jax did not dare to fight back, nor could he fight back.
However, Jax was still unwilling to give up. He mocked, “As your uncle, I won’t fight with my nephew.”
Avery kicked Jax in the chest with a black face. Jax recovered his breath and
spat out another mouthful of blood.
Avery let out a cold laugh, “You can try fighting back. I will let you and your
sister who seduced my father get out of the Gallard family together. Of
course, if my father has any objections, I can also let him fuck off.”
Jax was beaten hard. He wanted to retort, but he remained silent.
He knew that Avery was a man of words. Although Jax’s brother–in–law was the chairman of the Gallard Group, he didn’t have
real rights.
60% of the Gallard Group’s shares were in Avery’s hands. With the 20% that
Avery had gotten from Darlene, almost the entire Gallard Group was Avery’s.

If Avery wished, he would drive his father out of the company.
In the end, Avery did not beat Jax up again. He asked coldly, “Did you touch Darlene? Or did she seduce you?”
Jax immediately raised his hand and swore, “What kind of place is this hospital? Even if I can’t control myself anymore, I
wouldn’t come here at night to fuck a woman, right?
“Besides, it’s not like I can’t find a woman. Why would I force your woman? It was she who seduced me. She said that she
wasn’t happy and wanted me to help her leave.”
Seeing that Avery was silent, Jax resolutely continued, “I swear if there is even half a false statement...”
Before he finished speaking, Avery had already left with a sullen expression.
As soon as he left, Jax immediately stopped. “If I lie, just pretend that I didn’t
say anything.”
Darlene was still trembling on the bed when Avery came in.
The back of his hand was still stained with blood. He took a few steps forward
and pulled Darlene off the bed, throwing her onto the sofa.
He leaned down, his eyes bloodshot. “How many men are you planning to seduce in order to run away? How shameless can you
be?”
Darlene was pressed down by him. Her whole body trembled even more
violently.
Just now, Jax pressed her like this. That feeling quickly overcame her. The
fear in her eyes continued to expand. She lost control and pushed Avery with all her might.
Avery frowned. “Are you crazy? What? Do you want to act like a fool?”

Darlene’s vision became blurry. The face in front of her changed between Avery and Jax. No matter which one, it made her
shudder.
They were all demons. None of them were willing to let her go.
She struggled free from him with all her might and looked at him with red eyes. “What exactly do you want me to do so that you
can let me go? Could you please trust me once?”
Avery asked with a gloomy expression on his face. “I saw you flirting with a man. What do you want me to believe?
“The bell is right there. This is your ward. If you were forced, you would have pressed the bell the moment Jax came in, but you
allowed him to press you
on the bed.”
He approached Darlene step by step and said in a low voice, “I have warned you many times. I won’t touch dirty things. Don’t
always use your disgusting
methods to seduce men...”
Before he finished speaking, Darlene suddenly retreated all the way. She grabbed the fruit knife that Avery had thrown on the
ground and then
fiercely pressed it against her own neck.
Her eyes were red, but she laughed, “Avery, it’s been ten years. I’m tired. I’ll give my life to you. Let’s end this between us...‘
