A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Blood

Avery completely lost his mind. He threw the shower head to the side and pulled away. Darlene’s hand that was covering her head.

“What are you pretending to be crazy for? When I was talking to you properly, did you listen to me? What kind of person is Gustave? Why do you trust him so much?”

There was only a buzzing sound in Darlene’s mind. Darlene was unable to hear Avery’s words. Darlene supported the edge of the bathtub and she wanted to get up. Her mind was filled with thoughts of escaping from this place.

The atmosphere made Darlene feel hard to breathe. Darlene could not even tell where

this place was.

Avery frowned. He thought, the water is warm. It is just a bath for her. Did she have to be like this?

Avery’s anger could not be suppressed. He reached out and wanted to push Darlene back into the bathtub. “OK, I won’t talk to you anymore. Sit down. You vomit and you are dirty. Can’t you see?”

When Avery reached out his hand, Darlene suddenly reacted fiercely. Darlene pushed Avery and said, “Get lost, don’t touch me!”

Pushing Avery’s hand away, Darlene anxiously wanted to get out of the bathtub. Her face was pale.

The more anxious Darlene was, Darlene felt that the more slippery the bathtub became.

Darlene wanted to get out of it.

Avery frowned. He reached out again. Seeing that Darlene’s mood had become too bad, Avery changed his attitude. His tone softened a little. “Alright, sit down. I’ll bring you a

towel first. Later, I’ll get someone to bring you clean clothes.”

The clothes on Darlene’s body had already been completely soaked in water. Together with her coat, they stuck to Darlene’s body like a cage.

Darlene pushed Avery away with all her might. “Get out of my way, get out!”

Avery felt that there was something wrong with Darlene’s mood. The bathtub was

extremely slippery. Avery was worried that Darlene would fall. Avery stretched out his

hand and he wanted to help Darlene go out and bring Darlene to the bedroom.

There was a carpet outside the bathroom. Avery thought, even if Darlene was in a bad mood and fell, she would not be hurt.

Avery reached out his hand and wanted to take Darlene out. Darlene pushed Avery hard.

Avery was a little upset. After thinking about it, Avery felt that he was not at fault. Avery thought, Darlene almost gave the copyright to Gustave. Darlene wanted to please

Gustave.

As Darlene’s husband, it is only natural for me to be angry and question Darlene.

Moreover, I took her to the bathroom. Although my actions were a little rude, my original intention was to wash her.

Thinking of this, Avery felt that there was nothing wrong with him. He used his hand to pull Darlene.

Darlene was suddenly agitated. She suddenly lowered her head and bit hard on the back. of Avery’s hand. When Avery was in pain, Darlene reached out to push Avery away.

Avery loosened his grip. Due to inertia, Darlene was unable to steady herself and fell back into the bathtub. Her forehead smashed fiercely against the edge of the bathtub.

This hit was so heavy that Darlene felt that something exploded in her mind in an instant. There was something warm flowing through her forehead, and Darlene was knocked out. Darlene slid down the edge of the bathtub and sank into the water.

When Avery quickly reached out to pull Darlene, it was already too late.

The blood on Darlene’s forehead quickly spread out on the surface of the bathtub water, and her face was so pale.

Avery suddenly came back to his senses at that moment, and he anxiously reached out

to scoop Darlene out of the water. Avery got a towel from the side and dried the water on

Darlene’s face.

Avery reached out and patted Darlene’s face. “Darlene, Darlene?”

Her whole body was as light as a feather without any reaction. Darlene’s hands fell on the two sides of the water, and even her fingertips seemed to have turned white.

Avery carried Darlene out of the water. Avery turned around and hurriedly walked out of the bathroom. Before Avery could take the towel, he directly placed Darlene on the quilt on the bed and wrapped her tightly with the quilt.

Avery took off Darlene’s wet clothes and brought the towel over. Avery wiped Darlene dry and covered her with the quilt. Then Darlene called the front desk and asked them to bring a quilt and clothes over.

The manager quickly sent all the things over. He did not know the size of Darlene’s clothes, so he simply sent several sets of clothes in all sizes.

When the manager knocked on the door and sent the clothes in, the manager asked politely, “Mr. Gallard, if your wife feels unwell, do you need me to call a doctor?”

Avery took the clothes and went in. He responded with no and closed the door.

Avery was a little flustered. He changed Darlene’s clothes and covered Darlene with a quilt. Then Avery remembered what the manager had just said.

Avery thought, at this time, I really should call a doctor over.

It was already noon, and Seth had always been very regular. At 12:30 pm, he started hist

lunch break on time.

Avery called. Seth was sleeping soundly, and he was rather reluctant.

After hanging up the phone, Avery stared at Darlene, who was lying on the bed.

Avery thought, how could a normal person be like this?

She wasn’t that delicate in the past, and it was rare for her to get sick a few times a year.

Avery still remembered that at that time, Teresa had said that Darlene was healthy and

obedient. Teresa said that Darlene was a little girl who was easy to raise.

Avery reached out and brushed away the hair on Darlene’s face. Avery leaned over to

take a closer look at Darlene.

Darlene’s skin was fair and pale, and it was different from the white skin of a healthy

person.

Avery thought, was it true?

Avery tried hard to recall. They had known each other for ten years. Now that Avery thought about it, he seemed to have no impression of Darlene from many years ago.

At that time, it was true. Avery had never looked Darlene in the eye. Avery could not even remember what Darlene looked like when Darlene entered the Gallard family when she was 12 years old and what Darlene looked like when she was 17 or 18.

In short, Avery only remembered that Darlene was a little fatter than she was now. Darlene probably had a sweet voice and probably liked to laugh.

Avery was not sure about all this, but at least Avery was sure that Darlene had him in her eyes at that time.

It was not like the way Darlene was now.

Avery thought that Darlene should be the same as she was in the past, and it would be better to be the same in the past. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Avery pressed his face against Darlene’s forehead. There was no fever and it was a little

cold.

Avery lay down beside Darlene and held her to warm her up. For some reason, Avery asked again, “Darlene, are you cold?”

Darlene had lived with the Gallard family for so many years. She depended on others

and got on with others carefully. Avery wondered whether Darlene was cold or not.

Darlene in Avery’s arms trembled a little as if she was somewhat repulsed by being approached like this, but Darlene did not wake up.

Darlene had a dream. There was still the pair of familiar eyes.

When the man followed Darlene into the water, he opened his mouth and vaguely said something to Darlene.

All these years, Darlene often had this dream, but she had never been able to hear that

sentence.

But this time, Darlene seemed to hear it. The man said, “Aurora, it’s you.”
