Chapter 104 Find Ms. Garcia
As soon as Darlene brought her grandmother out of the bedroom, Darnell, who was standing outside the
door, immediately asked, âMs. Garcia, are you going out?â
Darlene nodded. âYes, I want to take my grandmother to the hospital to take a look and treat her wounds.
I can rest assured.â
Darnell immediately followed her downstairs. âThatâs good too. Thatâs what Mr. Walpole said.
Coincidentally, Mr. Walpole is also in the hospital. Iâll drive you and grandmother there.â
âNo need. Iâll just take a taxi there. Itâs not far from here to the hospital.â Darlene stopped and turned
around to refuse.
your
Darnell looked a little embarrassed. âMs. Garcia, this⦠Let me send you there. Itâs troublesome to take a
taxi. You donât know which hospital Mr. Walpole is in. Itâs better for you to go to his place.â
Darlene insisted. âYou can tell me the name of the hospital. Darnell, my grandmother and I are fine. I
really donât need to trouble you. We can get a car outside.â
Darnell felt that something was wrong with her expression, but Darlene managed to leave Averyâs place
with great difficulty. Now, it was not good for him to restrict her.
Moreover, Gustave did not tell Darlene not to go out alone, and Darnell was not qualified to stop Darlene.
Thinking of this, he could only tell Darlene the hospital where Gustave was and let Darlene leave with
her grandmother.
Not long after Darlene left, Darnell immediately called Gustave.
However, there was no way to get through. Darnell sighed. No matter how he thought about it, he felt
uneasy. In the end, he drove to the hospital to find Gustave.
Outside the villa, Darlene stopped a taxi and helped Reina into the car.
Only then did she remember that her phone had been changed. Before, she did not have much money in
her account, and now it was all gone.
She did not have much cash on her. She took it out and counted it. It was less than 34 dollars.
She was afraid that there would not be much money left after she paid for the taxi, and it would be
difficult for her to even have a meal, let alone pay the fees for going out of
town.
The taxi drove to the station. Because it required identity information to buy a plane ticket, Darlene was
worried that Avery would find her traces.
So she planned to go to the station first and take the shortâdistance bus to the city next to her. She could
buy bus tickets without identity information and directly pay the fare
in the car.
This way, at least she could leave Baltimore first, and then when she arrived in another city, she would
make plans to find a way to venture out of the country or continue to take a bus to a city further away.
She thought of a way and then considered what to do about the money.
There were only a few people whom she could ask for help, and her first thought was
Nathen.
But somehow, she thought that when she left with Gustave before, she just called. Nathen, and Avery
came to her that night.
She now felt that there was something wrong with Nathen, and there was no way to
completely trust him.
Thinking of this, she dialed Aleenaâs number on her phone.
There were only a few numbers that she could remember. Aleena had not changed her
number for many years, so she could barely remember it.
Because she was using an unfamiliar number now, she dialed several times in a row before Aleena
finally picked up the phone. Her tone was indifferent. âWho is it?â
Darlene breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately replied, âAleena, itâs me, Darlene. How much money do you have? Can you lend me a
little first? Iâm in big need of it.â
When Aleena heard her voice clearly, her tone suddenly became excited. âDarlene? You have no
conscience! You left without a word. Where are you? Your grandmother is already so old. Donât be
impulsive and run around with her.
âWhatâs more, whatâs the situation with your own health? Why are you not in the hospital? Donât you
know what condition you are in?â
Darlene was a little anxious. âAleena, I donât have time. Iâll talk to you when I settle down. Lend me some
money. I want to take my grandmother away.â
Aleena was worried and could only give up. âYou have to call me back later! I will
now?â transfer it to you now. Is the card you used before with you
Darlene took out her wallet and confirmed it. âYes, transfer to this card. A few hundred dollars is enough.
I can find ways to earn money by myself when I settle down.â
Aleena sighed. âYou have to be careful. I was wondering why you ran into a scumbag like Avery. Now,
you are running away like a refugee every day. Alright, you should hurry up and go as far as you can. Try
not to use your driverâs license,â
Aleena quickly hung up the phone and transferred 3,400 dollars to Darleneâs bank card.
Scenery Villa.
Avery was still on the phone with the police in the study. He had just returned from searching around
Baltimore, but he still had not found Darlene.
There was an urgent knock on the door outside the study, followed by Cyrusâ voice. âMr. Gallard, we got
news of Ms. Garcia from Ms. Spenceâs phone. Ms. Garcia called her to
borrow money. Ms. Garcia is probably on the way to leave.â
Averyâs face suddenly darkened, and he interrupted the policeman at the other end of the line. âLetâs talk
about it later.â
He quickly hung up the phone and rushed over to open the door. He looked at Cyrus who was outside
the door. âWhat did you say?â
Cyrus played the recording of the conversation between Darlene and Aleena that he had just heard.
âAbout three minutes ago. Mr. Gallard, Ms. Garcia has probably brought her
grandmother along with her and is on her way out. There is a taxi navigation sound in the recording.â
Avery took the recording and roughly listened to it once. He immediately loosened the
tie around his neck and threw it away. Then, he rushed out.
âGo to the airport now.â
Cyrus immediately drove to the airport.
Halfway there, Avery felt that something was wrong. âShe wonât go to the airport, and
she wonât use her ID. Cyrus, change the way to the shortâdistance bus station, and contact the people in
charge of other stations to keep watch.â
Cyrus looked at the location where Darlene and Aleena had just been located. He opened the navigation
to check the nearby station and then pointed to one. âLetâs go here first?â
Avery looked at it and nodded. âSure.â
The car ignored several red lights and stopped outside the station in less than twenty
minutes.
The traffic at the shortâdistance bus station was bad, and the station hall was crowded. with people, with
bags and luggage piled up everywhere.
Reina was very tired along the way. Darlene saw that Reina was panting heavily on the chair and had no
strength to get up. Darlene could only let Reina rest here for a while.
They had not eaten dinner yet. They would definitely not be able to endure hunger in the car later. At
least they had to buy some bread and water, and the money in Darleneâs
bank card had to be withdrawn.
Darlene looked around and saw a convenience store not far away with an ATM. She told her grandma to
sit properly and not move. She rushed to the convenience store and
went in to buy things.
In less than ten minutes, she withdrew money and bought things. Then she hurried to
the seat just now.
When she ran over with the shopping bag, Darleneâs heart sank. Her grandmother was
gone.
It was noisy everywhere. She looked over and saw that there was no trace of her grandmother except
the crowd.
It was impossible for grandma to leave on her own. She had just told Grandma to sit
here. Besides, Reina was exhausted and had no strength to run around.
Darlene had a bad feeling. She looked at a station security guard not far away and wanted to ask for
help.
A voice came from behind her. âDarlene.â
