A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 135

Chapter 135 The Truth Comes Out

Gustave hung up the phone. When he rushed downstairs, he thought of the scene in the ward last night.

Back then, Darlene sat on the bed, looked at him imploringly, and said, “Help me.”

At that time, there were so many people in the ward, but he was sure that Darlene said. those words to him. She said so while looking at him.

He went downstairs to the psych room, where the shrink was already waiting for him.

The shrink handed him the results. “Ms. Bullock does have a brain injury from that car accident many years ago, which led to her mental illness. There is certainly no possibility of playing dumb as you call it.”

The shrink then added, “She’s got the IQ of a six or seven–year–old, but she’s not completely nuts. She won’t hurt others for no reason, except that she’s not very clever.”

Gustave recalled that night in the villa, Abigail threw the bowl with medicine onto

Reina.

He thought, even if she is stupid, she can’t be that stupid. Or was she acting on someone

else’s orders?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong. Are things that coincidental? Abigail is Aurora?

Moreover, Vivian’s bad deeds were exposed, and the Bullock family was about to be implicated at the same time I found out about this.

Speaking of which, it can be considered that I did the Bullock family a favor because of

Abigail.

He took the results and went out. Sandra, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, immediately pulled Abigail and retreated to the corner of the corridor not far away.

Seeing that Gustave came out, Abigail wanted to hand him the thermos that was filled

with soup, but Sandra dragged her away.

Abigail was unhappy. “Sandra, what are you dragging me away for? I made the soup

myself. I wanted Gustave to try it.”

Sandra looked at the pink thermos in Abigail’s hand with disgust and thought, seriously? Given your cooking skills, Thighly doubt whether the soup is eatable or not.

At first, I figured that since Gustave regarded Abigail as Aurora, as long as the soup was

made by Abigail, he would have it anyway no matter how horrible it was.

Yet after overhearing the conversation between Gustave and the shrink, I realize it’s not quite what I thought it would be.

Gustave became suspicious of Abigail so soon and even suspected that Abigail was playing dumb.

If he does find out something, I’m sure he will be after our family.

Thinking of this, she looked at Abigail with some disgust. “How has Mr. Walpole been treating you recently? I heard that he has stopped calling you Aurora. Instead, he has

started to address you as Ms. Bullock.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Sandra did not think that Gustave’s attitude changed overnight. That night, when Gustave went to the Bullock’s home and recognized Abigail as Aurora, he was so nice to

Abigail.

Abigail stuttered. She reluctantly told Sandra about the fact that when she went to

Gustave’s villa the first time, she scalded Reina with a bowl full of medicine.

Sandra was so angry that her face went sullen right away. “Why the heck would you do that?”

Gustave hated it the most when others played tricks on him. Even though Sandra was planning on using Abigail to plot against Darlene, Sandra would never make a move so

soon.

Abigail lowered her head in fear. “I just… don’t like that woman. Gustave treats her differently, so I hate her grandmother as well.

“Why did she get to live in Gustave’s place earlier than me? And I overheard her telling Gustave the other day that she was Aurora.”

Abigail did not know that she was not Aurora, so when she thought of the last time Gustave drank too much and addressed Darlene as Aurora, she hated Darlene’s guts.

The more Sandra thought about it, the more flustered she felt. She thought, now that

Gustave has doubts about Abigail, I’m afraid he will know about Darlene’s real identity before things between him and Abigail are brought to the next level.

Thinking of this, she became more determined. Not another second could be wasted.

She stroked Abigail’s head and put on a smile. She said, “Abigail, you are not getting younger. You are old enough to get married and have children. Do you want to have a baby with Gustave?”

Abigail was puzzled. “A baby? All he ever did was hold my arm. Is that enough for me to get pregnant?”

Sandra tried her best to be patient. “You don’t have to worry about that. You can have a baby as long as that’s what you want. I can help you.

“As long as you have a baby, Gustave will no longer neglect you. He will marry you, be very good to you, and be there for you every day.”

Abigail thought of that night. Back then, when Gustave first learned that she was Aurora, his eyes were filled with surprise. He was so good to her that she felt as if she was his treasure and was as delicate as a porcelain doll.

No one in Abigail’s memory had ever cared for or treated her as well as he did.

Unfortunately, it only lasted for a short time. The next day, Gustave took her to his villa, where she accidentally scalded Reina. Then he began to ignore her.

Sandra told her that as long as she had a baby, Gustave would treat her as nicely as that night. At the thought of that, she couldn’t help but start to look forward to it.

Abigail nodded seriously. “OK!”

Sandra secretly heaved a sigh of relief and thought, as expected, you are a fool indeed, and you know nothing. I can sway you easily.

When you are pregnant with Gustave’s kid, I can use the kid to threaten the Walpole family and make them compromise whether they acknowledge the kid or not.

Besides, Gustave’s father, Mr. Walpole, wants grandkids so badly. I’m sure he will be overjoyed. Maybe he will acknowledge Abigail as his daughter–in–law.

As long as I have the Walpole family’s support, even if I can no longer hold a place in the Gallard family, I won’t have to worry that something might happen to my own family.

Thinking of this, Sandra patted Abigail on the shoulder with a gentle expression. “Go ahead and bring the soup to Gustave before the soup gets cold. I’ve got something to do, and I’ll go back.”

Abigail happily nodded. “OK. Sandra, about the baby…”

Sandra immediately interrupted Abigail, “Don’t tell anyone else about this, including Gustave. I’m sure he will be very happy when you surprise him.‘

Sandra sneered in her heart and thought, surprise? More like a fright.

Abigail nodded repeatedly as if she understood and went towards Gustave briskly.

Sandra turned around and took the elevator down to leave.

When Abigail was walking towards Gustave, she saw him walking over.

Douglas had been pushed into the emergency room, and he might never recover from

the injuries caused by Avery. The minute Gustave went to Douglas‘ ward, Shannon burst

into tears and threw a tantrum at him.

Gustave persuaded Shannon, wanting her to give up on Douglas, but Shannon refused to listen. Gustave comforted her for a few more minutes and had a headache. He wanted to

go somewhere else before he got suffocated.

As he walked, he somehow entered the elevator and headed to Darlene’s ward upstairs.

He was thinking about something and was a little absent–minded. Only when he got out of the elevator did he realize that Abigail was following behind him.

He was a little surprised. “How long have you been following me?”

Abigail looked upset. “Gustave, are you going to Darlene again? Gustave, have you forgotten? I am Aurora! She is a fake!”

She sounded a bit agitated. Failing to control her volume, her voice was a bit loud.

A person walked over and stopped in front of her when he heard her.

Seeing that Darlene had been asleep for a long time, Nigel wanted to go downstairs to buy some fruits for her. And just as he reached here, he coincidentally heard someone scolding Darlene.

Yet the name Aurora stunned him a bit.

Nigel looked at Gustave with hostility. “Mr. Walpole, is that my sister you’re talking

about? How do you know that her name was Aurora before?”
