Chapter 135 The Truth Comes Out
Gustave hung up the phone. When he rushed downstairs, he thought of the scene in the ward last night.
Back then, Darlene sat on the bed, looked at him imploringly, and said, âHelp me.â
At that time, there were so many people in the ward, but he was sure that Darlene said. those words to
him. She said so while looking at him.
He went downstairs to the psych room, where the shrink was already waiting for him.
The shrink handed him the results. âMs. Bullock does have a brain injury from that car accident many
years ago, which led to her mental illness. There is certainly no possibility of playing dumb as you call it.â
The shrink then added, âSheâs got the IQ of a six or sevenâyearâold, but sheâs not completely nuts. She
wonât hurt others for no reason, except that sheâs not very clever.â
Gustave recalled that night in the villa, Abigail threw the bowl with medicine onto
Reina.
He thought, even if she is stupid, she canât be that stupid. Or was she acting on someone
elseâs orders?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong. Are things that coincidental? Abigail is
Aurora?
Moreover, Vivianâs bad deeds were exposed, and the Bullock family was about to be implicated at the
same time I found out about this.
Speaking of which, it can be considered that I did the Bullock family a favor because of
Abigail.
He took the results and went out. Sandra, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, immediately
pulled Abigail and retreated to the corner of the corridor not far away.
Seeing that Gustave came out, Abigail wanted to hand him the thermos that was filled
with soup, but Sandra dragged her away.
Abigail was unhappy. âSandra, what are you dragging me away for? I made the soup
myself. I wanted Gustave to try it.â
Sandra looked at the pink thermos in Abigailâs hand with disgust and thought, seriously? Given your
cooking skills, Thighly doubt whether the soup is eatable or not.
At first, I figured that since Gustave regarded Abigail as Aurora, as long as the soup was
made by Abigail, he would have it anyway no matter how horrible it was.
Yet after overhearing the conversation between Gustave and the shrink, I realize itâs not quite what I
thought it would be.
Gustave became suspicious of Abigail so soon and even suspected that Abigail was playing dumb.
If he does find out something, Iâm sure he will be after our family.
Thinking of this, she looked at Abigail with some disgust. âHow has Mr. Walpole been treating you
recently? I heard that he has stopped calling you Aurora. Instead, he has
started to address you as Ms. Bullock.â
Sandra did not think that Gustaveâs attitude changed overnight. That night, when Gustave went to the
Bullockâs home and recognized Abigail as Aurora, he was so nice to
Abigail.
Abigail stuttered. She reluctantly told Sandra about the fact that when she went to
Gustaveâs villa the first time, she scalded Reina with a bowl full of medicine.
Sandra was so angry that her face went sullen right away. âWhy the heck would you do that?â
Gustave hated it the most when others played tricks on him. Even though Sandra was planning on using
Abigail to plot against Darlene, Sandra would never make a move so
soon.
Abigail lowered her head in fear. âI just⦠donât like that woman. Gustave treats her differently, so I hate
her grandmother as well.
âWhy did she get to live in Gustaveâs place earlier than me? And I overheard her telling Gustave the
other day that she was Aurora.â
Abigail did not know that she was not Aurora, so when she thought of the last time Gustave drank too
much and addressed Darlene as Aurora, she hated Darleneâs guts.
The more Sandra thought about it, the more flustered she felt. She thought, now that
Gustave has doubts about Abigail, Iâm afraid he will know about Darleneâs real identity before things
between him and Abigail are brought to the next level.
Thinking of this, she became more determined. Not another second could be wasted.
She stroked Abigailâs head and put on a smile. She said, âAbigail, you are not getting younger. You are
old enough to get married and have children. Do you want to have a baby with Gustave?â
Abigail was puzzled. âA baby? All he ever did was hold my arm. Is that enough for me to get pregnant?â
Sandra tried her best to be patient. âYou donât have to worry about that. You can have a baby as long as
thatâs what you want. I can help you.
âAs long as you have a baby, Gustave will no longer neglect you. He will marry you, be very good to you,
and be there for you every day.â
Abigail thought of that night. Back then, when Gustave first learned that she was Aurora, his eyes were
filled with surprise. He was so good to her that she felt as if she was his treasure and was as delicate as
a porcelain doll.
No one in Abigailâs memory had ever cared for or treated her as well as he did.
Unfortunately, it only lasted for a short time. The next day, Gustave took her to his villa, where she
accidentally scalded Reina. Then he began to ignore her.
Sandra told her that as long as she had a baby, Gustave would treat her as nicely as that night. At the
thought of that, she couldnât help but start to look forward to it.
Abigail nodded seriously. âOK!â
Sandra secretly heaved a sigh of relief and thought, as expected, you are a fool indeed, and you know
nothing. I can sway you easily.
When you are pregnant with Gustaveâs kid, I can use the kid to threaten the Walpole family and make
them compromise whether they acknowledge the kid or not.
Besides, Gustaveâs father, Mr. Walpole, wants grandkids so badly. Iâm sure he will be overjoyed. Maybe
he will acknowledge Abigail as his daughterâinâlaw.
As long as I have the Walpole familyâs support, even if I can no longer hold a place in the Gallard family, I
wonât have to worry that something might happen to my own family.
Thinking of this, Sandra patted Abigail on the shoulder with a gentle expression. âGo ahead and bring the
soup to Gustave before the soup gets cold. Iâve got something to do, and Iâll go back.â
Abigail happily nodded. âOK. Sandra, about the babyâ¦â
Sandra immediately interrupted Abigail, âDonât tell anyone else about this, including Gustave. Iâm sure he
will be very happy when you surprise him.â
Sandra sneered in her heart and thought, surprise? More like a fright.
Abigail nodded repeatedly as if she understood and went towards Gustave briskly.
Sandra turned around and took the elevator down to leave.
When Abigail was walking towards Gustave, she saw him walking over.
Douglas had been pushed into the emergency room, and he might never recover from
the injuries caused by Avery. The minute Gustave went to Douglasâ ward, Shannon burst
into tears and threw a tantrum at him.
Gustave persuaded Shannon, wanting her to give up on Douglas, but Shannon refused to listen.
Gustave comforted her for a few more minutes and had a headache. He wanted to
go somewhere else before he got suffocated.
As he walked, he somehow entered the elevator and headed to Darleneâs ward upstairs.
He was thinking about something and was a little absentâminded. Only when he got out of the elevator
did he realize that Abigail was following behind him.
He was a little surprised. âHow long have you been following me?â
Abigail looked upset. âGustave, are you going to Darlene again? Gustave, have you forgotten? I am
Aurora! She is a fake!â
She sounded a bit agitated. Failing to control her volume, her voice was a bit loud.
A person walked over and stopped in front of her when he heard her.
Seeing that Darlene had been asleep for a long time, Nigel wanted to go downstairs to buy some fruits
for her. And just as he reached here, he coincidentally heard someone scolding Darlene.
Yet the name Aurora stunned him a bit.
Nigel looked at Gustave with hostility. âMr. Walpole, is that my sister youâre talking
about? How do you know that her name was Aurora before?â
