Chapter 141 Aurora, Help Me
The sound of the bedroom door being closed could be clearly heard. Darlene realized what had
happened. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The door separated her from the outside world. At this moment, there were only her and Gustave in the
bedroom.
Darlene looked up and met Gustaveâs scarlet eyes.
His reaction and expression looked really abnormal.
When his heavy and hot breath gushed out, Darlene was so panicked that her fingers were clenched
tightly. She frantically tried to reach for the door handle and open it.
She could finally guess what was going on with Gustave. Using ice to cool down the fever? It was not
that simple.
However, she reacted a bit too late. The more anxious she was, the more her hand. trembled. Her back
was pressed against the door by Gustave. There was not enough
between her body and the door for her to open the door.
space
She was completely confused. The servants and Darnell were outside the door. They watched as
Gustave pulled her in.
Now they just watched and turned a blind eye to her suffering?
The door could not be opened, so she could only try to appease Gustave. âMr. Walpole, calm down. I just
heard someone talking downstairs. It seems that the doctor is coming. Why donât we let the doctor check
on you? Otherwiseâ¦â
Darlene moved to the side with difficulty, wanting to leave Gustave.
The bath towel was tied to his waist. He wasnât wearing anything. At such a close
distance, Darleneâs face was almost pressed against his chest.
Just as her body moved a little to the side, she seemed to be able to distance herself from Gustave.
Darlene held her breath. When she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief,
her shoulder was suddenly pulled, and she directly fell to the sofa.
Her back touched the switch on the wall, so the light was instantly turned off. The bedroom fell into
darkness.
Gustave pressed her shoulder and leaned down.
Darlene was so scared that her face turned completely pale. She almost screamed,
âHelp!â
However, Gustave said in a heavy voice, âAurora, help me.â
Darleneâs words choked at her throat. She leaned back on the sofa and clutched its edge,
trembling.
She didnât dare to move, but she dropped the idea of screaming for help.
Ten years ago in the deep sea, when Gustave helped her out of the water, she also said, âHelp me.â
Gustave saved her life once. That was something she would never be able to repay in her
life.
Her body was extremely tense. She did not move, except for a slight tremble.
Gustave leaned his head on her shoulder. He felt like losing control of himself, but he
seemed to still be conscious.
At least at this moment, he could still tell that Darlene was afraid.
His hand holding her loosened a little. âDonât be afraid. Just stay here for a moment. Iâll
just lean on you for a while. I wonât do anything.â
Although he just soaked in ice water, the coldness had dispersed. His body was
beginning to heat up again.
She carefully reminded him, âLet the doctor give you some medicine, right?â
Gustave did not answer. After a while, he suddenly asked, âDid you eat mint?â
Darlene replied, âNo.â Then she realized something and added, âI put some mint leaves when washing
my hair. I have had a headache recently. The taste of mint leaves makes
me more comfortable.â
Gustave loosened his grip a little and groped for the fruit knife on the side. The blade pierced through the
back of his hand.
Then, he got away from her body and leaned back to sit beside her.
âMint is not good for your health. You are seriously ill now. Try not to use it.â
Darlene subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. âI wonât anymore. I only add a few
pieces.â
She knew that mint was not good for her health, but her heart was weak and always had a burning
sensation. When her heart ached, her body became unbearably hot.
Mint smelled cool. Since she was about to die, she didnât care about her health at all.
Through the dark night, she couldnât see Gustaveâs face clearly. She only heard him sigh lightly. âHe is
my biological father, and I donât have any other family. My biological
mother canât recognize me now.
âThe people around me are all scheming against me. My relatives, partners, and friends. are all the
same, but I didnât expect that my father could scheme against me to this extent and use such dirty tricks.â
Darlene barely understood what he meant. Gustave got drugged probably ordered by his
father.
The dark night covered Gustaveâs face. Perhaps since she knew Gustave before, she let down her guard
and comforted Gustave.
âAt least, you have a mother. Although she canât recognize you, she still remembers
your name. She remembers that she has a son. That means she still misses you in her
heart.
âBut I havenât seen my biological parents since I could remember. I donât know what
they look like or what they do.â
For so many years, she hadnât felt much care from others.
Gustave kept silent for a long time. He looked at Darlene in the dark night, âAurora, let me help you find
your parents.â
âIf you can change your heart and find your biological parents, maybe you can live a good life. You are
still so young. It would be a pity to end your life like this.â
A glimmer of light appeared in Darleneâs eyes, but then it dimmed. âForget it. Itâs been so many years.
They probably didnât want to find me at all. Besides, Iâm dying. Thereâs no point in seeing them.â
Gustave interrupted her. âWho said that? You can last for more than two months.â
With the medicine and the artificial heart, her life would last longer. The possibility of finding a suitable
heart would be high.
Darlene lowered his eyes and didnât say anything else.
Gustave asked her in a deep voice, âNo one will choose to die if they arenât forced to. Aurora, donât be so
pessimistic. Donât you want to live well?â
Seeing that she was still silent, Gustave continued, âYou can get a new heart. Reina will come round.
Your brotherâs heart disease can also be cured.
âYou can be all healthy. When your birth parents are found, they may also take care of you. Donât you
want that kind of life? Isnât it much better than death?â
Darleneâs palm slowly tightened, and she was touched. The expectation made her heart
beat faster.
After a long time, her eyes were a little red as she nodded seriously. âYouâre right.â
She was in her twenties. If her life stopped here, she would have lived her entire life without properly
enjoying it.
When she clenched her fist, she felt something sticky in her hands. She looked at it under the moonlight
and realized something. She was shocked.
âAre you bleeding?â
