A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 78 The Past
All these years, Darlene had been repeatedly dreaming about the fall ten years ago.
The orphanage organized the children to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. When she sat at the edge of the
mountain cliff, she was pushed down the top of the mountain and fell into the sea.
After that fall, she did not remember much about what happened before she was twelve years old, but she only remembered that
time she fell clearly.
She could still remember that when she suddenly fell from the top of the mountain, the children on the mountain and the leader
screamed in horror. The morning wind
whistled past her ears.
The sun popped out, the orange sunlight shone on the surface of the sea, and the waves roared endlessly.
All of that quickly enlarged in her eyes, and her mind was blank. After her body fell rapidly, she fell into the sea with a “bang”.
Before her body sank into the water, she heard people shouting on the surface of the sea, and several people stepped on the
surfboard to come over to her.
She saw the face of a big boy who looked like he was in his twenties. When he got close to her, he jumped directly from the
surfboard into the sea and swam to her.
Providing timely help would always leave a deep impression.
After he reached out and got Darlene up, a few men who came with him originally planned to help, but instead laughed and
jeered, probably believing that he could
successfully save her.
That place was not too far from the beach, and it was not too difficult for someone good at swimming to save her.
The boy held her and swam to the shore. He looked at her and said, “Aurora, it’s you.”

But soon, his expression changed. He obviously lost his strength. He could not hold her in his arms anymore, and his body
began to sink.
She heard him complain in a low voice, “I was unlucky.”
When the waves rolled over, it was very sudden. His body seemed to have a problem. He held her tightly and could not speak.
He turned around and looked at the other men who were surfing.
The waves rushed them into the middle of the sea. He lost his strength, and the waves took him under the water.
A man jumped down and swam over to grab her arm, and then the big boy’s hand let go
of her hand.
The big boy’s eyes disappeared, and she had never seen them again. She could not
remember them anymore.
Darlene’s forehead broke in a cold sweat. She lay on the bed and grabbed the blanket tightly. When she fell into the nightmare,
her entire body trembled violently.
Seth had already carried the medical kit over. He held the electronic thermometer and was about to measure Darlene’s body
temperature. Just as the thermometer in Seth’s hand reached Darlene’s forehead, the person on the bed seemed to feel it.
Darlene’s hand holding the quilt immediately tightened.
Avery stood to the side. Seeing Darlene’s sudden reaction, he immediately cast a questioning gaze on Seth.
Seth felt wronged. After testing Darlene’s body temperature, he threw the thermometer to the side and said with some
dissatisfaction, “It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t touch her. Can you two stop being surprised?”
Avery obviously felt that Darlene had just been sleeping well, and her sudden resistance was because Seth approached her with
the thermometer.
He naturally wanted to find fault with Seth. “I already said that her body temperature is
normal. You don’t have to test it.”
Seth was so angry that he laughed and directly quit. “She doesn’t seem to be sick. Don’t ask me to treat her. I’m leaving.”

As he spoke, he really reached out to pick up the medical kit on the bedside table and planned to leave directly.
He wanted to examine Darlene’s body temperature, and now it became his fault?
Avery had no choice right now. Seth had come all the way here, so Seth was the only one
who could examine Darlene.
It was rare for Avery to compromise. He turned around and sat down on the sofa. “Alright, I won’t say anything anymore. You can
check her up and prescribe some
medicine.”
Only then did Seth continue to examine Darlene with the stethoscope, while accusing Avery, “It has only been a few days since
she faked her death and came back.
“Let’s not talk about whether she is sick or not, normal people can’t stand your torment. She just woke up from her coma last
night, right?”
Avery shifted his gaze away from the bed. “It’s not my problem, at least not just my
problems.”
Seth turned around to look at Avery and gave Avery a sneer.
Avery guiltily changed his tone. “Alright, it’s my problem. You can prescribe her some medicine. If she doesn’t get better, I will
take her to the hospital later when she wakes
up.”
Seth sat down on the sofa opposite Avery. Seth placed the medical kit on the coffee table, opened it, and took out the medicine.
“No matter how I look at it, her condition is a little strange. Her vitality is so much worse than before. Do you have the medicine
she took before? How about I bring some to the hospital for a check-up? You should also take her to the hospital for a check-up.”
Avery replied, “She’s done a check-up. We went there two days ago, and it still turned out to be an ordinary heart disease.”

Seth was writing down his prescription with a pen. When he heard this, his hand paused for a moment, and he raised his head to
look at Avery. “Go to another hospital to have a
look.”
He didn’t want to say much, but he had heard that Vivian and Jax were caught having an
affair in the hotel by Sandra last night.
Sandra was angry. The hotel had spread the news to Andrew. If Andrew hadn’t managed to suppress public opinion, Vivian
would probably go viral now.
Seth always felt that Vivian was not a good person. As for Jax, he was not a good person
either.
As for the hospital that Avery had brought Darlene to, the person in temporary charge
was Jax.
Avery obviously understood as well. He frowned and said, “Jax doesn’t have the guts.”
Seth nodded. “I won’t judge. In any case, it’s best if you change to another hospital and personally watch over them to give
Darlene a check-up.
“Heart disease isn’t my research focus, but I’m not completely ignorant. It is not impossible to vomit blood when normal heart
disease occurs, but it won’t be so
serious.”
Avery recalled the diagnosis paper that Gustave had given him before. It said that Darlene was in the late stage of heart failure.
That was considered a terminal illness. He could not accept it, so he chose not to believe
1.
Avery could not face such a fact. He shook his head. “No, she has had a heart attack for so many years. It won’t suddenly
worsen. I know this.”

Seth left the prescription and medicine on the coffee table and stood up with the
medical kit in his hand.
“It’s just to change a hospital. It won’t take much time, and you won’t lose anything. This is all I have to say. It’s just my kind
reminder. In short, think about it yourself.”
He left the guest room and closed the door. The guest room returned to silence.
Avery sat silently on the sofa and did not get up for a long time. He stared at Darlene,
who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
After a long time, he still took out his phone and found Giovanni on his contact list.
Giovanni had recently returned to the US. He was an internationally renowned medical
expert.
Previously, Avery contacted him and asked him to treat Nigel, but then an accident. happened, and Nigel died.
His fingers lingered on the contact list for a while before he sent a message: “Giovanni,
I would like to ask for your help to do a checkup for my wife.”
