A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 29 Mr. Oliver Has Passed Away

Avery tightened his grip on his phone and couldn’t speak, as though something was stuck in his throat.

The director continued, “It would be best to donate his heart within twelve

hours after his death. But it’s too long now. We can’t catch the time.”

Avery glanced sideways and saw Darlene looking at him on the bed. A trace of anticipation flashed through her eyes.

He could not accept this fact. He really ruined the heart that was compatible with Nigel.

Avery did not know what to say for a moment, but he wanted to push the blame onto the hospital. “Even if he passes away, you can preserve his heart at a low temperature. Why didn’t you do that?”

The director was a little puzzled. What Avery meant was that he wanted the heart when it was gone.

The director could only explain to him, “Mr. Gallard, with the current medical treatment in the country, it is difficult to preserve the heart in a low temperature for a long time. It can’t be transplanted after twenty– four hours. Moreover, you personally called the donation party and said that you

didn’t need it.”

Since Avery said that he did not want it. The hospital wouldn’t make decisions on its own to deal with the heart of the donation party.

Avery suddenly felt that this matter would be very tricky. He looked at Darlene on the bed, worried that she would hear something, so he hung up the phone with a guilty conscience.

When Darlene saw that he had hung up the phone, she immediately sat up

and looked straight at him, waiting for his answer.

Avery found it hard to imagine what would happen to Darlene if she knew

that the heart was gone.

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, holding Darlene’s hand. “Don’t worry, we have already contacted Mr. Oliver. He has already been

issued a notice of critical illness.

“However, heart transplantation is different from another organ

transplanting. It can only be done after the donation party passes away. If it goes smoothly, we can get surgery these days. But if not, we might have to

wait.

Darlene resisted him and wanted to pull her hand away. But when she heard

him say that he had contacted Alonso, her eyes immediately lit up.

If that heart was still there, Nigel would be saved. As long as he had a healthy

heart, he would be a person who could live a normal life.

When Avery said this, he did not dare to look into her eyes. He lowered his

eyes and gently caressed the back of her hand. “You don’t have to worry

about Nigel anymore. You have to have a good rest and take good care of

yourself, understand?”

This was the first time in the past few days that her emotions were so stable.

Darlene did not resist his intimacy and nodded.

Avery thought to himself, I will have to find another suitable heart for Nigel.

As for the deceased donation party, I need to lie to Darlene, saying that he

has not passed away yet. Just delay the time.

When Avery found a suitable heart, this matter would be resolved without

anyone knowing, so Darlene would not know that he had lied to her.

Avery saw that her entire body was wrapped in gauze and bandages. When she smashed the mirror in the bathroom just now, she had even injured her hand. He asked tentatively, “Your arms are injured, and you can’t touch the water in many places. I’ll help you take a bath and change your clothes before you sleep, OK?”

Darlene looked at him warily and did not respond.

Avery raised his hand and touched her face. “Be good. When Nigel is done with the heart transplant and wants to see you, are you going to see him in

this state?”

She would only listen to him when Avery used Nigel as an excuse. Darlene

quickly acquiesced to his request.

Avery helped her wash up, changed her clothes, and then slept with her.

She suddenly became extremely obedient, making him even more uneasy

because he had lied to her.

Thinking of the injuries she had suffered in prison, Avery pulled her into his arms and said, “Although you have suffered, you still have to pay the price for making mistakes. You hurt Vivian, so you just suffered what she has

suffered.

In the future, you should be more obedient and don’t have any bad thoughts

about Vivian. I won’t torment you anymore, and I won’t send you to those

places anymore.”

Avery said so much, but he didn’t know if he was trying to persuade her or to

comfort himself so that he could feel more at ease.

But he didn’t receive any response from Darlene.

Avery lowered his eyes and looked over. He found that she was not unhappy

after listening to these things, but had already fallen asleep.

Those who suffered from depression were emotional, and the quality of their

sleep was poor. They always felt tired and sleepy.

Avery did not say anything else and hugged her in his arms, as if he had not

had a peaceful sleep like this for a long time.

When things quieted down these days, something was wrong with Vivian.

When Vivian returned, she found out that Avery did not even tell her before he brought Darlene back to Scenery Villa.

She was so angry that she smashed all the cups, but she still felt that she couldn’t vent her anger.

Ever since Darlene vomited blood a few days ago and was sent to the hospital from prison, Avery had always been by her side.

Originally, the moment Darlene woke up, she was going to be brought back to prison by the police.

Even if she suffered from psychological illness, according to the rules, as long as there was no danger to her life, Darlene should return to prison. At most, the prison would send a psychiatrist to check on her.

However, ever since Avery saw the injuries all over Darlene’s body, he was not willing to let her return to prison. He asked the doctor to diagnose her with psychological illness, saying that Darlene had injured Vivian back then because of psychological problems and should be exempted from punishment.

He also made Vivian forgive Darlene in front of the police and let Darlene be acquitted.

Vivian was going to go crazy with anger. Darlene had only been in jail for a

mere month. Vivian thought, she should suffer more!

According to her plan, Darlene should at least have her arms and legs broken

and would only be released after a year and a half.

Vivian could not swallow her anger. The next day, early in the morning, she

went to Scenery Villa.

Avery had a morning meeting at the company the next day, and he woke up

very early.

Knowing that Darlene was afraid of light, he specially instructed the servants not to disturb her in the bedroom except for delivering food and water.

He also specially contacted a psychologist abroad, who would come over in the afternoon. No matter what, Darlene’s depression had to be cured.

After settling these things and when he went out, Avery felt that he treated

Darlene well.

As soon as his car left, Vivian came over.

Darlene woke up early in the morning and was taken care of by Avery. After washing up and eating breakfast, she returned to the bedroom and stayed in

the wardrobe.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The wardrobe door was closed, leaving only a gap. She sat in the corner of

the wardrobe in a daze.

Suddenly, the wardrobe door was suddenly pushed open. Darlene shrunk back in fear. Vivian, who was standing outside, mocked.

“Hey, why are you sitting in the wardrobe? Avery’s clothes are inside. Don’t you know that he is a neat freak? What if his clothes get dirty?”

Darlene stared at her with hostility and vigilance, not saying a word.

Vivian leaned down and laughed softly, “How can you still sit still? Your brother is going to die.

“You know what? Mr. Oliver, who promised to donate his heart to your

brother, passed away three days ago.”
