A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 6 If You Dare To Go Abroad

Just as Darlene raised her hand, Darlene’s wrist was forcefully grabbed by

Avery.

Avery laughed coldly. “What? I got it right. Are you angry from embarrassment? I think it’s a lie for you to take Nigel abroad for treatment. Is it true that you’re going abroad with that doctor to live together?”

Nigel rushed over and was about to pull Avery’s hand away. “Let go of Darlene. I won’t allow you to bully her!”

Avery frowned. He grabbed Darlene’s wrist with one hand and threw Nigel to the ground with the other.

Nigel was already seriously ill and weak. After falling to the ground, his face became even paler.

Darlene anxiously said, “Nigel! Avery, you crossed the line!”

Avery sneered and loosened Darlene’s wrist. Seeing her rush over to support Nigel, Avery mocked, “You know how to pretend to be weak. Even the glass bottles are not as fragile as you, right?”

Darlene saw that Nigel was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. She was worried that Nigel would have a heart attack again, so Darlene hurriedly helped Nigel up while taking out medicine from his bag.

Darlene was too anxious. Four small medicine bottles fell out of the bag. Two were Nigel’s, and the other two were hers.

Darlene stuffed the two bottles back into her bag in a panic. She poured the pills out and handed them to Nigel. “Take two first. I will take you to the

doctor.”

There were many things that fell out of Darlene’s bag. Other than the medicine bottles, she had not picked up the rest.

Avery bent over and picked up the ID card and passport that she had dropped on the ground. He took it and looked at it carefully. “You are well prepared, but what should you do? I suddenly feel that you have played me. I don’t

want to divorce you.”

Avery took a few steps forward and blocked Darlene, preventing her from taking Nigel to the hospital.

Darlene could only call Nathen and trouble him to take Nigel up to the ward.

Avery looked at Nathen, who was in a white coat and rushing over from afar, and his gaze became even colder. “You really have deep feelings for each other. Just a phone call from you and he came over so quickly. It is indeed worth you to put in so much effort to get me to divorce you and make space for your new lover.”

Nathen hurried over, not knowing what had happened between them. He asked Darlene, “What is it? Did something happen?”

Nigel was a little afraid and immediately stood beside Nathen.

Nigel had been staying in the hospital for a long time. Nathen was his attending physician, and Nathen was like a big brother to Nigel.

Darlene did not say much, and only troubled Nathen to take Nigel to the ward

first.

Avery looked at Nigel who was holding Nathen’s sleeve, and the two of them left while talking. He only felt that it was particularly dazzling.

Even Nigel was so familiar with Nathen, so it could be seen that his relationship with Darlene was definitely not simple.

Thinking of this, Avery saw Darlene looking at the back of Nigel in the distance, and his anger rose again.

Avery put Darlene’s ID card and passport into his wallet and said coldly, “You haven’t divorced me yet, and you have already planned to be together with another man. Darlene, there is no such good thing in this world. Besides, you still can’t pay back what you owe Vivian, even if you work for Vivian for a lifetime!”

Darlene saw that her ID card had been taken away and angrily reached out to take it back. Darlene said, “Return the ID to me, even if you are my husband,

you can’t take my ID.

“Avery, I don’t owe you. If you are not willing to divorce, then I will sue you for divorce. As for you saying that I hurt Vivian, take out the evidence and

sue me!”

Avery did not expect that Darlene, who had been crying and saying that she loved him and was unwilling to divorce him just a moment ago, would actually say that she wanted to sue him for divorce.

Previously, Darlene had been so deeply in love with Avery, but now she was so eager to divorce him and go abroad. Even if Darlene said that she did not have a guilty conscience and hooked up with another man, who would

believe it?

Avery took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to Darlene. “As expected, with the support of another man, your tone has become much more arrogant. Take a good look. Let’s see how confident you are to go against me!”

Darlene looked over and her face froze.

The person in the video was Darlene’s grandmother, Reina Garcia. Reina was

lying in a strange ward. There were a few foreign doctors and a man in a suit standing beside the bed. Darlene was very familiar with him. He was Avery’s assistant, Markus Caston.

Avery smiled as he sized up the uneasiness on Darlene’s face. “Take a guess. Which country is this? Your grandmother is almost eighty years old. If she can’t take it, it can’t be considered a medical accident, right?”

Darlene clenched her fists tightly. “Avery, you are despicable! You are breaking the law. I can call the police!”

“Then go and report me. How can you testify against me without evidence? Go ahead and try. See if the police find out the truth first or your

grandmother’s death will come first.” Avery slowly deleted the video and put

away his phone.

Darlene’s voice finally softened. “Don’t hurt my grandmother. If there’s anything, come at me. She’s getting old and can’t take it.”

Avery raised his hand and pinched Darlene’s chin, forcing her to raise her head to look at him. “Why don’t you be this sensible earlier? Go back to Southwood Villa before six in the evening. Darlene, you have to pay the price for what you have done to Vivian.”

As soon as Avery finished speaking, the assistant behind him came over and whispered, “Mr. Gallard, the chairman is calling and urging you to go to the

company.”

Avery smiled as his gaze swept across Darlene’s face before passing by her

and leaving.

Darlene hurriedly went to the ward. Just as he arrived outside the ward, he saw Nigel lying on the bed and was hurriedly pushed out by a few doctors

and nurses.

As soon as Nathen saw Darlene coming over, he explained with a sullen face, “Nigel vomited blood again. He has to go into the operating room. Hurry up and pay the medical fees. Do you have enough money?”

As Nathen spoke, he was about to take the card from his wallet. Darlene quickly stopped him, “Thank you, Dr. Elicott. I have money on me. I will go and pay the fees first.”

Nathen did not say much. He nodded and pushed the bed and left quickly.

Darlene rushed downstairs to the payment window and handed over the

bank card in her bag.

The staff swiped the card and handed the card back to her impatiently. “Miss, you need to pay 3,400 dollars. The card only has about 1,700 dollars.”

Darlene frowned and took the card back. Only then did she realize that she

had left another bank card at home.

Darlene could only hand over a card from Avery in her bag. That card had no limit. There was a portion of the money in it. It was the dividend of the 20 shares she gave Avery. It should have belonged to her.

No matter what, saving Nigel was more important.

Just as the card was handed over, a hand reached over and snatched the bank

card from Darlene’s hand. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Vivian’s disdainful voice came. “Oh, what a coincidence. I remember that this card belongs to Avery, right? Aren’t you going to get a divorce? Why are you still using his card?”

Darlene frowned and extended her hand. “It’s none of your business. Give the card back.”

Vivian held the card tightly and took out a stack of cash from her bag, “Avery told me that all his things will be mine in the future. Why should I give it to you?

“You are in a hurry to save your brother. Why don’t you kneel down and beg me? I will give you this stack of cash.”

The people in the queue urged. Darlene could only leave the queue first and said coldly, “I’m going say it one last time. Give me the card.”

Vivian raised the card and looked at Darlene provocatively. “This is my thing. Why should I give it to you?”

When Vivian said this, Darlene suddenly saw Avery walk over with an ugly

expression not far away.

And the action of Vivian holding the bank card was caught in Avery’s eyes…
