Chapter 49 Vivian Jumps off The Building
When Avery woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day. He was lying on a hospital bed.
Seth sat by his bed. When he saw that Avery had woken up, he pointed at his
leg and said expressionlessly, “It’s crippled. Continue to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.”
To be able to cut his own leg like this, other than Avery, there was probably no other person.
Avery was anxious and wanted to get up from bed. “I want to go home.
Darlene is still in Southwood Villa. She’s alone.”
Seth said coldly, “She’s dead, Avery. Her body has started to smell. What’s
the use of keeping a piece of rotten meat? She’s already so dead. Why didn’t you do anything earlier?”
Avery shook his head, his eyes filled with fear. “No, she didn’t. She didn’t
die.”
He was about to get off the bed in a panic when Seth stood up and looked at
him indifferently. “Alright, you can go back as long as you can still walk. You
didn’t cherish her when she was alive. Now that she is dead, she will never
know how much you love her.”
Avery’s leg was heavily bandaged, and before he could get out of bed, he had already fallen to the floor.
He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. Cyrus walked in from outside the
ward, and when he saw Avery on the floor, his face darkened.
Cyrus immediately helped Avery onto the bed and blamed Seth, “Mr. Cannon, how could you just watch him fall?”

Seth sneered, “He was able to cripple his leg. What else can I do other than
watch him continue hurting himself?”
Avery was anxious to get out of bed. “I want to go home. She is alone at
home.”
Cyrus handed over the document bag in his hand. “Mr. Gallard, why don’t you take a look at this first? It was from Mr. Gustave Walpole.”
Avery looked at the document bag. It was a thick one.
His hunch told him that he should not take it. There must be something
inside that he could not face.
But in the end, Avery still reached out and took it. After opening it, he saw
some photos, investigation results, and a USB.
As for the letter paper, there was only one sentence on it. “Avery, you don’t
deserve to cry in front of her grave.”
The USB had a surveillance video of Darlene being hurt by Kynlee and other
prisoners in prison. It was shocking.
Avery only looked at half of it before he paused. He couldn’t take it anymore
as a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The thick stack of photos and files contained Kynlee’s personal information, photos of Mary and Kynlee meeting privately, and evidence suggesting that Mary was Vivian’s aunt.
It could be considered indirect proof that Kynlee and Mary were under
Vivian’s orders.
As for Vivian’s true colors, Gustave provided a photo of Vivian and Jax holding hands and entering the airport three years ago.

There was also a diagnosis of Darlene’s heart failure three months ago.
Avery recalled carefully. The time on the medical records was the day he punched and kicked Darlene.
At that time, Vivian had just returned to the country. After listening to Vivian’s words, Avery went back to Southwood Villa to yell at Darlene. It was in the bedroom that he kicked her hard to the floor and scolded her for being
vicious and cheap.
Avery slowly tightened his grip on the medical records. Blue veins stood out on the back of his hand, and his thin lips went pale and began to tremble.
Then, Avery started trembling all over.
He raised his eyes to look at Cyrus and said with difficulty, “Cyrus, it’s already too late, isn’t it?”
That document bag was like a heavy rock pressing down on Avery’s body, making him unable to breathe.
He clenched his teeth so hard that it looked like they were about to shatter, and his voice was so low like he was muttering to himself, “I believe everything. Now I know everything. How can I get her back?”
It was too late. Every bit of damage was caused by him.
Finally, Avery forced Darlene to death bit by bit.
He struggled to breathe, but he still couldn’t breathe. His throat and heart seemed to be stuffed with needles and blades. Every breath Avery took was
as painful as being cut.
The rusty taste of blood spread through his throat. His nails dug deeply into his palm, and there was a desperate look in his red eyes.

Mary ran in from outside in a panic. “Mr. Gallard, Ms. Sheridan is on the hospital rooftop and about to jump off the building. You should go and take a
look.”
Avery looked at her. For some reason, Mary felt that his gaze made her
shudder.
Avery said, enunciating, “Jumping off the building? Then I should go and
take a look.”
He sat in the wheelchair and took his phone to the rooftop.
Vivian was already standing on the edge of the rooftop. Her eyes were red
and she held a fruit knife in her hand.
She cried as she retreated. Seeing that Avery had finally arrived, Vivian did
not bother to wonder why he was in a wheelchair. She only cried harder.
“Avery, don’t worry about me. Let me jump. I don’t deserve you. I deserve to
be abandoned by you.”
Avery did not speak. Instead, he turned on his phone, clicked on the camera,
and pointed it at Vivian without saying a word.
Vivian did not understand his reaction. If she continued to retreat, she would
really reach the end. But she gritted her teeth and took another step back.
“Avery, you don’t have to talk me out of this. I have already thought it through. Take good care of yourself after I die.”
Avery moved his phone away impatiently and looked at Vivian. “Hurry up. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
You already sent a message last night saying that you wanted to jump off a building. How much longer do you still need?”
Vivian’s face immediately turned pale, and she did not come back to her

senses for a long time.
She asked Mary to send the message last night. Seeing that Avery did not. respond, Vivian thought that it was definitely because he had not seen the
message.
Later, when she found out that Avery had fallen ill, she deliberately waited
for him to wake up before threatening to kill herself.
Vivian stood at the end of the rooftop and glanced down. She was so scared
that her legs trembled.
Who said that she really wanted to jump? Not only was she afraid of death,
but she was also afraid of heights.
Avery reminded Vivian, “Don’t worry, there are so many people watching
from below. If you are lucky, you might not die. People are waiting. If you
want to jump, then jump. Don’t let everyone down.”
The police couldn’t stand it anymore. Was this man here to cause trouble and
abet suicide?
A police officer approached and stopped Avery. “Sir, please don’t speak like
this. It will boost that lady’s mood. If you don’t stop, we can only ask
leave.”
you to
Avery sneered and instructed Cyrus, “Make sure to film her jumping off.
When Darlene is buried, bury the video with her.”
When he finished speaking, Avery pushed the wheelchair and left.
The wheelchair entered the elevator, and Avery’s heart was filled with
despair.
Vivian deserved to die. She deserves it a thousand times over.

Avery leaned over and buried his face in his palms. Suddenly, he felt as if everything was empty. No matter what he did, it would be meaningless.
How did Darlene, who could not bear the slightest hardship before, endure the sharp pain of heart failure day and night?
Avery could not share any of her burdens but chose to ignore everything and even blame and torture her.
No matter how much pain Avery was in now, how could it be compared to the despair Darlene had experienced in the past few months?
Avery did not stay in the hospital for long. He directly returned to Southwood Villa, wanting to see Darlene in the bedroom.
But as he arrived at Southwood Villa, there were police cars parked outside.
Some police officers had already entered and carried the corpse out.
Avery sat in the back seat of the car. His face suddenly darkened. When he was about to get out of the car angrily, an officer had already walked over and explained.
“Mr. Gallard, the DNA result has come out. The DNA and fingerprint of the dead do not match your wife’s.
“We found a human–skinned mask on the dead person’s face. Someone must have deliberately changed it. Your wife might have been taken away.”
Avery was unable to come back to his senses for a long time until he watched
helplessly as the police tore off a layer of artificial skin that was exactly the
same as the real skin.
The officer continued, “Our country still doesn’t have such a technique. The
person responsible for this should not be someone ordinary.”

Avery stared at the face that had turned into that of a stranger. He thought of how he had carried the corpse back and placed it on the bed. He was there for so long and even lay next to the corpse.
Avery’s stomach suddenly churned. Because of his strong obsession with
cleanliness, he vomited hard.
He was already unable to tell whether he was angry, pleasantly surprised, or experiencing other emotions.
His hands clenched tightly. “Darlene, I can’t let you get what you want. Even if you die, you can only die beside me.”
