Chapter 117 An Abrupt Deterioration
Avery said, âDarlene, just this once, I will be more careful.â
Avery could not control his emotions and was anxious to prove that he was different from Gustave.
Avery thought at least he could have sex with Darlene lawfully while Gustave could not.
When Averyâs voice fell into Darleneâs ears, Darlene shivered. A sudden chill rushed. from the soles of
her feet to the top of her head. She only felt cold.
Darlene thought, it is Avery after all. He has never truly been softâhearted to me.
Even if Avery clearly knows my physical condition and that Iâm about to die, he would still not let me go.
Fear overcame her anger. Darlene turned pale and reached back for the car door.
Thinking that the car door must have been locked, Darlene clutched the edge of the seat under her,
trying to move up and free herself.
Just as Darleneâs feet moved up, Averyâs knees pressed against her calf, and she could
not move.
Darlene was frozen and shivering with cold..
Darleneâs face turned pale, and she was so frightened that only her instinct to survive was left. Her voice
was too quivering to hear clearly. âAvery, Iâm really dying. Just let
me go.â
Avery pressed his body down and leaned over to the side of Darleneâs face. âYou forget. everything
about Gustave, everything before you turned 12, OK?
âYou didnât have a past until you were 12. You came to the Gallard family at the age of
need to twelve and we got married at the age of twenty. This is enough. Thatâs all you
remember.â
Darlene did not answer Avery. Her face was pale and her body could not bear it. She could only beg him,
âIâm not a tool to vent your anger. Iâm really tired. Please go to someone else, and give me a break.â
Avery broke into laughter, and he unconsciously increased his strength. âYou donât
want to. Ten years have passed, and you are still thinking about that man.â
Avery stared at Darlene fiercely. âThen why have you been messing with me for all these years? Why
have you been with me for so many years, saying that you love me? Why didnât you go to that man
earlier? He is your savior. How deep your feeling for him is! Why didnât you go to him earlier?â
Darlene was trembling with the pain in her heart, and the top of her head fell against the door time and
time again. She was shaking more and more.
âIt hurts, Avery. Why not hurry up and kill me?â
Avery pushed aside the messy hair on Darleneâs forehead. He felt that he could no longer see her eyes
clearly. He could no longer find his own shadow in those eyes.
Avery felt so annoyed and was unwilling to let go of Darlene. âSo even in death, you still remember that
man?
âYou are in a hurry to divorce and go to him. After he manages to cure you, you two will be together in
love. The next time I see you, should I call you Mrs. Walpole?â
After Avery finished speaking, he remembered that Darlene and he had been married for two years, and
he had never asked anyone to call Darlene Mrs. Gallard.
All these years, Avery had always disdained revealing their marriage. Darlene was more
like his secret lover than his wife.
Now, Avery realized that their marriage was already one of the few things in his hands.
Cold sweat broke out on Darleneâs forehead. The fine sweat wet the hair on her
forehead. She closed her eyes and had no energy left to say another word.
Avery continued regardless of Darleneâs pain, âIâm telling you, no way.
âNo matter how painful it is for you to stay with me, donât even think about going to someone else and
living happily. Itâs in everyoneâs best interest for you to stay here and live your life.â
Darlene below Avery did not react at all. Darleneâs eyes were tightly closed and her lips
were pale.
Darlene looked as if she were asleep or unconscious, and the only evidence that she was alive and
awake was the constant grip and release of her fingers.
Everything was done and the car had already stopped outside the hospital.
Seeing Avery was still in the back seat with no intention of getting out of the car, Colin. got out of the car
and left sensibly, waiting in a place not far away.
Avery put on his clothes and helped Darlene tidy up. Seeing that she still had her eyes closed, he patted
her side face a few times with his palm.
âHere we are. Letâs get out.â
Darleneâs fingertips quivered, and for a moment there was no other response.
Avery wanted to push the door open and carry Darlene out. Just as he reached out to push the door
open, his phone rang.
It was a call from the hospital. Avery guessed that it should be Giovanni. He had already made an
appointment with Giovanni to bring Darlene over to the hospital in the
afternoon.
However, Avery was a little late.
After answering the call, an anxious voice immediately came over, âMr. Gallard, Reinaâs condition has
suddenly worsened. Iâm afraid her life is in danger. She has been taken to the emergency room and a
critical condition notice was given. Please come over immediately with your wife!â
It was very quiet in the car. The voice from Averyâs phone vaguely entered Darleneâs
ears.
Darlene did not really fall asleep. She was just too tired to move much.
Hearing the words from the other side of the line, Darlene suddenly opened her eyes, eagerly supported
the back of her seat, and sat up in a panic.
Averyâs voice was cold. âWhatâs going on? Didnât you call this morning and say everything was fine?â
The nurse got flustered on the other side of the line and said in a panic, âWhen we took
Reina to the emergency room, she kept mumbling about the death of her precious
grandson.
âPerhaps, Reina suddenly heard some bad news, and what patients fear most is
irritation.â
Avery pushed open the door and got out of the car. Darlene, who was behind him, was already in a hurry
to get out of the car. Darlene bypassed him and directly ran into the hospital inpatient building.
Darlene was so tired that she staggered as she ran in, holding up against the wall
outside the elevator.
Darleneâs hair was unkempt and her dress, which on closer inspection could be seen to be a little
crumpled. This caught othersâ attention.
A man looked over and took a second look then. The appearance of a beautiful woman in such a look
was bound to draw peopleâs attention, and there was a hint of ambiguity in
the gazes.
The man nearby was mesmerized when a voice sounded from behind him, âDoes it look good? Do you
want a closer look?â
Avery approached Darlene and wrapped a coat around her. He held her in his arms, blocking the gazes
of the men who were peeking at her.
The man glanced at Avery. When the man saw a pair of cold eyes, he immediately turned around and
hurriedly left. The man even forgot about entering the elevator and going
upstairs.
Darlene did not react. She did not feel what Avery said or did, nor did she notice the
gazes of those men.
Darlene only stared at the number outside the elevator, waiting for the elevator to come
down.
Darlene thought, how could Reina know that Nigel was dead? Someone must have secretly told her, just
like how someone had provoked Nigel in the past and caused Nigel to have a car accident.
Darlene clenched her fists tightly until the elevator door opened. A woman wearing a mask and
sunglasses walked past Darlene face to face.
The woman quickly lowered her head and hurried outside. She even accidentally bumped into someone.
Darlene recalled that glance and subconsciously said, âThat person looks familiar.â
Avery immediately looked at Colin who followed in. âGo out and follow the woman in
the sunglasses, see if you recognize her.â
