Chapter 160 His Breathing Is Weak
The two women in the elevator were originally nervous and scared because the elevator suddenly
malfunctioned.
Now, one of them suddenly felt a hand touching her. The woman screamed, âWhat are you doing?
Rogue, bastard, you look handsome. I didnât expect you to be such a person!â
Avery felt dizzy, and his consciousness became blurry. He forced himself to say, âDarlene, get closer to
me. Come to me.â
He was still squatting in the corner of the elevator. He vaguely felt that the person next to him was
Darlene, and he reached out to the womanâs arm again.
The woman next to Avery even forgot her fear. In the dark, she directly raised her high heels, kicked him,
and took a few steps away.
âDonât mess around. Weâre warning you! Although the elevator has malfunctioned, there are surveillance
cameras inside. The cameras are capturing your motions clearly.â
The two women were so obsessed with Avery just now. They didnât expect him to be this
kind of man.
They cursed at the same time, and suddenly, with a bang, someone fell to the ground.
The elevator fell into dead silence in an instant. After a long time, a woman said in terror, âIt seems that
someone fell to the ground. Could it be⦠something happened?â
The other woman calmed down a little and said with some doubt, âHis voice just now
sounded abnormal.
âI heard before that some people had claustrophobia. Being locked in such a dark and enclosed space,
they will be very emotional. They might even be suffocated to death in a short period.â
As soon as she finished her words, the woman next to her immediately took a step back in fear, her
voice shaking so much that it was almost impossible to hear clearly. âI said that we should not go out
today.
âWhat should we do? Itâs okay that we are trapped in the elevator. Yet if something happens to him, we
will be unable to get rid of the responsibility.
âIâm done for. I even kicked him just now. Iâm afraid thereâre surveillance cameras here.
If something really happens to this man, his family wonât sue me, will they?â
The more the woman spoke, the more terrified she felt. She recalled what Avery had looked like when
they had just entered the elevator.
He was wellâdressed and had an extraordinary air about him. It was likely that his background was not
simple. The woman thought, if something happens to this man here, will his powerful family blame me?
Her heart was in a mess. She did not have the courage to approach Avery. She could only use her elbow
to nudge her companion beside her. âElisa, you are bold. Why donât you.
check his breathing? I canât even hear his breathing. Is he dead?â
go
As she spoke, she was about to cry. âIâm screwed. Iâm not even thirty. I havenât even had a boyfriend yet.
I donât want to go to jail.â
Elisa interrupted her, âAlright, alright. Donât make it sound like youâre mourning. Maybe he just fainted
because he is too timid. Some men are so timid. Let me take a
look.â
As she spoke, Elisa moved closer and squatted down to touch Averyâs nose. After a
while, she did not say a word.
The woman behind Elisa was so anxious that she said in a broken voice, âIs he still breathing? Say
something.â
Elisa retracted her hand and stood up. Her voice was a little heavy. âThe situation is not good. His
breathing is a little weak. I think I guessed right. There must be someone outside trying to repair the
elevator. We can only wait.â
Outside the elevator, Andrew quickly rushed over with a cane. Beside him was Katrina.
Because Lucian was sick and the Gallard family had a good relationship with the Swale family, Andrew
came over to visit Lucian.
Andrew saw a commotion in the hospital. They said that the elevator had
malfunctioned. After checking the elevator, they found out that the people trapped inside were actually
Avery and two strange women.
Andrew was so worried that he couldnât even walk steadily. When he rushed outside the elevator, his
entire body was trembling because of anxiety. Andrew couldnât care about anything else. He urgently
ordered the maintenance workers and the hospital director,
âHurry up and think of a way. Avery has claustrophobia. If anything happens when he is trapped inside,
your hospital will have to bear all the responsibility.â
The director was scared to the point that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He wondered why Avery
had been trapped inside.
If something really happened, even though the boss behind the hospital was the Elicott family, it would
not be easy to deal with the aftermath.
More and more people gathered at the entrance of the elevator, and the hospital could only form a
cordon, keeping the unrelated people outside.
Besides them, Katrina looked at the elevator surveillance video and clearly saw the two women who had
entered the same elevator as Avery.
She took a closer look and said in surprise, âI know this person. Sheâs Elisa, right? Sheâs a photographer
of some renown and Darleneâs high school classmate. Why are she and Avery trapped?â
Katrina paused. âIâm sorry, Mr. Gallard. I shouldnât have said say such useless things at a critical
moment.â
Andrew originally did not think about it, but after hearing what Katrina said, he remembered that Darlene
had sued for divorce today.
Andrew had just received the news that Darlene had asked Gustave to prepare a large amount of
evidence. If the evidence was spread out, it would be enough to destroy Avery
and even the entire Gallard family.
Fortunately, Malcolm was experienced and denied all the evidence. In the end, Avery
won the lawsuit.
This was a coincidence. Darlene was also in the hospital now. Avery had not
encountered an elevator malfunction for so many years, and it just so happened that he encountered it
today.
This hospital was the Elicott familyâs property. The last time Nathen was at the Gallardâs home, it was
obvious that his relationship with Darlene was not simple.
Andrew was angry and anxious, he fiercely slammed his cane on the ground a few times. âThis
ungrateful woman! The Gallard family has really supported her for so many years. How could she do
that?
âIf something really happens to Avery, I will teach her a good lesson!â
Katrina pretended to be amazed. âMr. Gallard, what are you talking about? Avery is trapped in the
elevator because it malfunctioned. What does it have to do with Darlene?
âI just happened to see a familiar face in the surveillance video. It was someone I knew, so I casually
said that.â
Andrewâs expression was tense. âThe elevator malfunctioned? The elevators in this hospital have not
malfunctioned for many years. There are four elevators here, and this one just happened to have a
problem. I donât believe that there was such a coincidence in
this world.â
It took nearly twenty minutes for the maintenance worker to finally open the elevator
door.
One of the women inside was so scared that she crouched on the ground, unable to get up. Avery was
already unconscious on the ground.
Elisa was relatively calm. When the door opened, she immediately said in a low voice, âThis gentleman
is unconscious. His breathing is weak, and he needs urgent
treatment.â
The doctors and nurses immediately carried Avery to the wheeled bed and took him away. Andrew
followed them and glanced coldly at the two women who had come out of the elevator. He ordered the
bodyguards at the side, âTake them away.â
Elisaâs expression changed, and she said coldly, âWhat right do you have to take us away?â
Andrew sneered, âWhat right? I will tell you slowly later.â
He then followed the wheeled bed in front of him.
Avery, who was on the bed, was still struggling to speak. âDarlene, Darleneâ¦â
Andrewâs expression was sullen. âAt this time, you are still thinking about that heartless woman! Rachel,
bring Darlene here for me. I should settle scores with her
today.â
