A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 46 Darlene Dies
The phone in Darlene’s hand fell to the floor with a bang sound. She
suddenly had a sharp ringing in her ears which made her unable to hear the
voice on the other end of the line.
She got up with a pale face and was about to go out when the bedroom door
was pushed open from the outside.
Avery rushed over with an uneasy expression. Seeing the look on Darlene’s
face, he knew that it was already too late.
He had just received news that Nigel had fallen off the building and died. He
immediately came upstairs to stop Darlene from answering the phone, but in
the end, he was too late.
Darlene walked out in a daze. Avery almost lost the guts to stop her. “Calm
down. The police said that the face of the dead was beyond recognition. It
might not be your brother. Maybe...”
He reached out to grab Darlene’s arm, but Darlene shook his hand off and slapped him in the face.
Avery frowned and caught up with her. He didn’t think he deserved this slap.
Even though he made her brother stay at home, her brother didn’t fall off the building because of him.
No matter what, he couldn’t have jumped off the building just because he
couldn’t leave home.
Someone must be behind this. In addition, that neighborhood lacked safety

precautions. The houses didn’t even have window guards.
But Avery could only think about this in his heart to comfort himself. At this

time, he did not dare to say these things to Darlene.
When they arrived, the apartment building had been cordoned off.
There were police cars parked outside, and the residents were in a state of panic. There were many people from other
neighborhoods watching.
The police were inside investigating the scene, and the whole place was a little chaotic.
Darlene stumbled through the cordon and walked in. The body of the dead was under the white cloth, and the forensic doctor
was examining the body.
There were police officers searching for clues on the cement floor downstairs and the rented apartment upstairs.
It was just autumn. And there was light rain, so it wasn’t hot.
However, sweat kept falling down Darlene’s forehead. She couldn’t stop
sweating. Then she felt cold and trembled all over.
She walked nearer and squatted down next to the corpse. The face of the
dead was covered, but the body’s clothes, physique, and height all proved that it was Nigel.
Moreover, the police visited all the apartments and confirmed that the dead
could only have fallen off the building through the window in Darlene’s
apartment.

Darlene’s hand trembled more and more violently. She reached out to
remove the white cloth. She tried a few times but just couldn’t remove it.
The forensic doctor kindly warned her, “Madam, the face of the dead is
severely damaged. You’d better wait until you calm down before you look at it. Is this your husband? You can let him confirm the
identity of the dead.”

Avery came over and tried to comfort her. But Darlene suddenly went berserk, and her eyes were bloodshot.
The emotions that she had been suppressing all this time seemed to be released all at once. She roared, “He’s not! He’s not
worthy of it!”
She finally had enough strength to remove the white cloth on Nigel’s face.
What entered her eyes was a mangled face. Nigel’s facial features were
faintly discernible, and most of the details were ruined.
The police officer beside her said, “His face hit the ground first. Judging from
the information we’ve gathered so far; he didn’t want to jump out of the
window. He probably rushed toward the window and accidentally fell. Or he
has been pushed from behind, so he landed face first.”
Nigel was dead. Whether Darlene could accept it or not, his corpse was right before her eyes.
She carefully grabbed his hand. The little boy who would stand before her to
protect her and look at Avery and Vivian with hatred in his eyes was now a

cold corpse.
Darlene trembled as she used her hands to warm his, but his hands would
never be warm again.
He had such a handsome face. But he couldn’t even die with it intact.
Darlene knew very well that Nigel had always been sensible. No matter what, it was impossible for him to suddenly want to
commit suicide and jump off the building.
Before he died, someone must have entered the room and killed him.
She had no other enemies, and Nigel was even less likely to have enemies. It

couldn’t be anyone else but Vivian.
Darlene held Nigel’s hand tightly, and her voice trembled. “Nigel, it is my fault. I was useless and could not take you with me. It
was all my fault.”
Avery had never panicked like this before. He suddenly felt that things were truly over between Darlene and him.
He took a step closer and comforted her. “Darlene, he’s already dead. Don’t
worry, I will find out the truth and get your brother justice...”
“I have to see Vivian.” Darlene, who was squatting on the ground with a pale
face, suddenly stood up and interrupted him.
Without waiting for Avery to answer, she suddenly took out a knife and quickly pressed it against her neck.
Avery’s expression instantly sank. “You are crazy. Put down the knife. I

know that you are upset because of Nigel’s death, but the police will definitely give you an explanation. Don’t be impulsive.”
Darlene held the knife and took a step back. Her eyes were red and full of
despair. “I know you don’t care about my life. But there are so many police officers and people watching. I’m still your wife. You
wouldn’t want people to say that you are a heartless husband that turns down his wife’s request and just watches her kill herself.
And people will hate you more when you
marry Vivian.”
Avery stared intently at the knife in her hand. The policemen beside him did not expect the turn of events and did not dare to go
forward rashly.
Darlene’s hands trembled violently, and blood began to flow out of her neck.
In the end, Avery compromised. At this time, he did not dare to take any
risks.

He called Cyrus and told him to bring Vivian over immediately.
In less than half an hour, Vivian arrived.
When she arrived, her face was filled with worry. “What’s wrong with Nigel?
My goodness, Ms. Garcia, you need to calm down. Put down the knife. I’m
sorry for your loss.”
Darlene’s face was covered in tears. She sneered, “His face is beyond recognition. How do you know that he is Nigel? Sorry for
my loss? How do you know that he is dead?”

Vivian was stunned for a very short time and said uneasily, “The servant at Avery’s house told me about it. Ms. Garcia, the knife
is dangerous. Don’t do
this.”
Darlene stared fiercely at Vivian. “Avery will let you act. I won’t!”
She looked at Avery. “Tell her to go nearer. I know that she has ways to get whatever she wants from you. Today, either she dies
or I die!”
Vivian pretended that she was going over courageously. “Ms. Garcia, calm down. I will come over right now. You must not hurt
yourself!”
She was sure that Avery would not let her go over, not to mention that so
many policemen were there.
However, Avery only cared about the knife in Darlene’s hand at the moment. There was already a not shallow cut. Once the knife
went further in, Darlene’s life would be in danger.
Avery looked at Vivian. He knew that he should not put Vivian’s life at risk,
but he said stiffly, “Vivian, be careful. Although Darlene is very emotional, she won’t hurt you.”

The police wanted to intervene, but Avery spoke, “Darlene is my wife. I am
sure that she won’t hurt anyone.”
Vivian looked at Avery in disbelief. She had never imagined that Avery would actually tell her to go.
How could Darlene not hurt people when she was so emotional?

But what was said couldn’t be unsaid. Vivian could only bite the bullet and go over. As soon as she was near Darlene, Darlene
suddenly pressed the knife against Vivian’s neck.
Vivian could no longer remain calm and let out a terrified scream.
She screamed inwardly, men are all unreliable. He said he only loved me! Avery is such a bastard!
Darlene stared at Vivian with scarlet eyes. “Vivian, the law can’t find your fault. Avery can’t see your true colors. Then today, I will
die with you!”
Then she stabbed the knife into Vivian’s neck fiercely, and blood soon gushed out.
Darlene suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. Vivian pushed against Darlene to protect herself, and Darlene suddenly fell to the
ground and spat
blood.
She dropped the knife, and Vivian lost all her strength and fainted on the ground.
Things soon became chaotic. And Vivian stopped breathing. No one knew if
it was because she was scared or wounded.
Avery chose to take away Vivian, who was in a more critical condition, and let the ambulance that was the first to arrive take
Darlene away.

After Vivian was carried into the emergency room, she finally recovered her breath, though weak.
Just as Avery heaved a sigh of relief, he heard some nurses talking in the corridor. “I heard that she died of heart failure. Her
body went cold before she could enter the emergency room. And she was declared dead on the spot.

“When she died, no one in her family was there. Her husband did not answer the phone, so it was the director who pushed her to
the morgue.”
Avery’s hand suddenly trembled. He reached into the pocket of his suit jacket but didn’t feel his phone.
His forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
