A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Let Her Go

Darlene’s hands trembled violently as she followed Gustave out.

Darlene could feel that Avery was keeping staring at her even if she did not turn around.

Avery would not let her go, nor would he let Gustave go.

But was Darlene going to compromise? Darlene struggled in her heart, but at this moment, she wanted to gamble.

Darlene knew that this would implicate Gustave, so she had lied to him back then and rejected his help.

But at that moment, when Avery’s palm was on her arm, Darlene suddenly wanted to be selfish and give it a try regardless of the cost.

For so many years, Darlene had always been overcautious and afraid of implicating others, but she had never been treated well because of this.

Her palm trembled violently until Avery’s cold voice rang out behind her, “Mr. Dorsey,

her?” she is my wife. Are you sure you won’t help me stop.

Avery did not dare to approach Darlene personally. Darlene’s mood was too unstable now. He was afraid that if he approached her in a hurry, he would really force her into

an accident again.

Tom looked embarrassed. Just now in the sick room, Nathen said that he should respect Darlene’s own choice. It could be considered that he had made a statement.

The Elicott family was famous in Baltimore. As for the Walpole family, its power and foundation were even larger.

Cassius has a lot of connections with the court and the prosecutor’s office. Gustave has a deep relationship with those younger influential people in Baltimore.

Now that Darlene was about to leave, unless Darlene and Gustave had some improper relationship and had an extramarital affair, otherwise, as a police officer, there was no reason for Tom to force Darlene to stay by Avery’s side.

Tom appeared to be reluctant, “Mr. Gallard, you have seen your wife’s condition. Why don’t you calm down first and wait for your wife’s emotions to stabilize first, in case something bad happens to your wife’s health? What do you think?”

Avery clenched his fists tightly, clenched his teeth, and smashed his fist against the

wall.

Tom did not want to get involved in this matter, so he immediately brought a few policemen to find an excuse to leave. “Then I will leave it to you. I still have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first.”

After Tom finished speaking, he took the police and left first. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

It was difficult for others to deal with one’s family affairs. As a police officer, Tom really could not make clear these internal conflicts.

Avery’s anger surged up. He walked over a few steps and coldly called out to Darlene, who was in front of him, “Are you sure you want to go with him? Darlene, think clearly. about what consequences Mr. Walpole will bear because of you. And what will his father do?”

Gustave stopped in his tracks and turned around to sneer at Avery. “I will wait and see the consequences that you say, Mr. Gallard.”

Blue veins bulged on the back of Avery’s hand because of anger. “Darlene, you don’t want your grandmother and brother anymore?”

Darlene turned to Avery. It was impossible that she had no concerns about them at all. “It has nothing to do with them. Even if you don’t want me to take them away, I will

never stay because of this.

“Avery, I’m going to die. In the last period of time, I don’t want to wait for death while. seeing your face.”

Avery’s face was extremely tense. He wanted to have a good talk with her, but because of his anger and unwillingness, every word he said was like a needle that fiercely pierced through.

“Darlene, is it so unbearable for you to stay with me? You want to go with another man, and you say it so plausibly.

lame on you!”

Gustave looked at Avery with some sympathy, “Mr. Gallard, if you have finished, excuse

1. us.

‘As for Nigel and Mrs. Garcia, since you insist on keeping them, thank you for taking care of them. Darlene will also be at case.

“However, since they will stay with you, if something really happens, you will not be able to evade the responsibility, right?”

Darlene couldn’t take Nigel and Reina away for now. With Darlene’s current situation, she could not raise Nigel independently and take care of Reina.

If Darlene wanted to take them away, he would most likely have to file a lawsuit with

Avery.

Only when they divorced, they would completely belong to Darlene. No matter whether Darlene had the ability to take care of them or not, it would not be Avery’s turn to be

their guardian.

The lawsuit would be a little troublesome, so now, Darlene could only leave first.

Nigel stood behind and raised his voice, “Darlene, you don’t have to worry about me and Grandma. Don’t worry, I will take good care of Grandma. And I can take care of myself when I grow up.”

“Darlene, take good care of yourself. Avery does not dare to do anything to Grandma

and me.”

Darlene clenched her fists tightly and said in a hoarse voice, “Nigel, sorry to make you suffer for a while. When I divorce him, I will come back to pick you and Grandma up.”

Nigel’s eyes were red and he nodded repeatedly. “Darlene, you have to be good. Take medicine and treat your illness on time. I will come to Mr. Walpole’s place to see you.

when I have the chance.”

Darlene hardened her heart and did not look at Nigel again. She followed Gustave and

left.

Many things had to be resolved decisively, and there was no way to escape.

Darlene’s figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. Avery’s eyes were red. In the

end, he could not control himself and wanted to chase after Darlene.

“Sir, why don’t you let Ms. Garcia go? She really can’t be stimulated in her current situation.” Cyrus could not bear to stop him.

“Perhaps she would be able to cooperate with Mr. Walpole’s treatment. If she could accept a heart transplant, it would be the best. If she couldn’t, she wouldn’t have to

suffer for the last period of time.”

Avery looked at Cyrus. His eyes were dazed. “Is she really in pain when she’s with me?” Cyrus softened his voice, “Sir, you know best how Ms. Garcia has been doing recently.”

“She had narrowly escaped death several times. Sir, there is only one life. Ms. Garcia does not have one more life than others. She is not so lucky to survive every time.”

If Avery forced Darlene to stay, the next time they had a conflict, with Darlene’s current situation, she might not be able to survive.

Avery looked at the long corridor. There was no longer Darlene’s figure in the empty

corridor.

Avery’s eyes dimmed. “But I already know everything. When I treated her like that all those years ago, she stayed. Why is it that when I plan to treat her well now, she is going

to leave?”

Avery really intended to compensate Darlene. He would treat her well and stay with her while she received treatment.

They had been together for ten years, so how could Gustave compare with him?

Avery was unwilling to admit that if he had been with Darlene, the only advantage he had was being with Darlene for ten years.

Nigel stood to the side and sneered, “It’s not that you have been with my sister for ten years, but my sister has devoted her sincere heart to a bastard for ten years.

“Mr. Gallard, my sister is about to be forced to death by you. If you really have any

conscience or regret, please let her leave.”

Avery did not say anything. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “Impossible. I will not let Gustave take her away. Cyrus. Call Markus and tell him to unilaterally terminate the cooperation with the Walpole Group.”
