Chapter 17 Dirty Girl
When Cyrus saw that Vivian had come over, he left the room first.
Just now, Vivian knocked over the soup bowl, and it splashed on her clothes
and arms.
Avery reached out and took her hand over to check. âWhy didnât you stay in your room? Did you hurt
yourself just now?â
Vivian shook her head with blushed eyes. âIâm fine. I thought that Ms. Garcia was injured, so I asked
Mary to make some good soup and send it over.â
Avery helped Vivian wipe the soup off her arm and ask her to sit down. âYou are not well right now. Just
take care of yourself and donât worry about the matter in the future.â
Vivian got more teary eyes. She looked at him and said in a low voice, âAvery, you still donât believe me,
right? You think that I lied to you and framed Ms. Garcia. Thatâs why you want to find Roselyn to check it.
Do you want Roselyn to argue with me and prove it?â
Avery did not expect Vivian to hear their conversation just now. In the end, he felt a little guilty. âVivian,
donât misunderstand it. Itâs impossible for me
not to believe you.
âI was worried that you would have been used by someone on purpose, there might be others who
framed you back then, someone other than
Darlene.
and
âYou have been hurt like that. The matter should be investigated carefully. Only then will I be able to give
you justice. Right?â
Vivian sobbed. âBack then when I survived those few years and finally
returned from abroad, I most worried that you would not believe me.
âI am so dirty now. If even you didnât want me or believe me, what else reason would I rely on to keep
alive?â
As Vivian spoke, she looked at the fruit knife on the bedside table. Avery
immediately walked to her and blocked the knife with his body. He comforted her in a deep voice.
âVivian, donât talk nonsense like this. All the injuries you suffered were
caused by me. I will always trust you. Donât worry, no matter how others try to frame you, I will be on
your side.â
Vivian stood up and failed to hold back her tears. She leaned on Avery emotionally. âAvery, I thought
even you would abandon me.â
Avery gently comforted her, âItâs impossible. Donât think too much of it. The most important thing right
now is to take care of yourselfâ¦â
Before he finished speaking, Darlene, who was on the bed, coughed hard for
a while and woke up.
After being unconscious for so long, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Avery and Vivian who
were hugging each other affectionately by her
bed.
Darlene felt quite unlucky at that moment. And then she pretended that she
saw nothing and continued to close her eyes.
She had just escaped from death, and now she had lost her strength. So she
had no words for them.
Avery subconsciously wanted to let go of Vivian, but he realized that the
person he loved should be Vivian. So he said gently, âGo back to your room
and take a good rest first. You canât stay up all night since you are not well. I
will come over to accompany you soon.â
Vivian listened to Avery obediently and left the room.
After walking out of the room, Vivian clenched her fists tightly. And then she became ruthless.
In the end, Avery still began to suspect her. It was nothing good.
Vivian thought secretly. Once Roselyn, who was loyal to Mrs. Gallard, was found, I would not be able to
hide the fact that I had abandoned Avery and went abroad back then, and even my affair with Jax would
be uncovered.
It seemed that Vivian had to give Darlene a fatal blow. She could not allow Avery to be warmâhearted to
Darlene. Vivian had to make him believe that Darlene was vicious and could do anything to achieve her
goals.
In the patientâs room, Avery sat down by Darleneâs bed. Darlene on the bed had her eyes closed and did
not look at him at all.
It seemed that it had been a long time since Avery had looked at Darlene so carefully. Only then did he
realize that she was indeed much worse than
before.
Avery suddenly remembered the bloodâstained tissue he saw in the trash can in the bedroom. At that
time, he thought that she was just injured.
But now, he could not help but think that it should have been the blood she threw up after coughing hard.
Darlene had been coughing more and more recently. Sometimes, when he came out of the study at night
and passed by her bedroom, he could often hear her coughing until midnight.
What was wrong with Darlene?
His face was slightly dark, and Avery said in a deep voice, âWhat exactly
happened to you? Why did Dr. Elicott say that you had to change your heart? Darlene, youâd better make
it clear. I donât want the person sleeping in my bed to be ill and dirty.â
Darlene opened her eyes and found it ridiculous. It was true. How could a ruthless person like him
indeed care about her?
In the end, Avery only cared about if the girl he had touched was dirty.
Darlene did not have the strength to argue with him. She said calmly, âIt is hereditary heart disease. I
have been like this since I was a child. You know it
well.â
Avery looked unhappy. âThe doctor said that your condition was not that
simple. Ordinary heart disease would not be like yours, and it would be even
less likely for others to change a new heart like you.â
Darlene chuckled, âThen what else could it be? Cancer, tumor, or other illnesses that canât make me live
for long? Then Iâm sorry, I donât have any of them. I may disappoint you.
âAs for changing a new heart, if a patient with an ordinary heart disease could do the same, wouldnât it be
his best choice if he can succeed?â
Darlene casually told him all that he was secretly worried about. She was so calm and peaceful, which
made Avery not doubt her anymore.
Avery thought about it and felt it right. For someone like Darlene, in the two years that she had been
married to him, she would always show any wound to him.
If Darlene indeed had a serious illness, she would probably come to him immediately and ask for his
comfort. So how could she hide it from him?
Recalling how Darlene had thrown up blood not long ago, Avery still felt
unhappy. He said indifferently, âDarlene, youâd better not lie to me. You owe Vivian, so you have to keep
yourself alive for Vivian.
âMoreover, your blood type is the same as Vivianâs. Your blood, including organs, should be left for
Vivian in case of emergencies. It can also be considered as you are paying back for what you have done
to Vivian.â
He looked at Darlene who cared little about it and felt even more displeased. âI warn you, donât expect
someone like you to end so easily. I wonât allow you to lose your life easily. You should pay back what
Vivian has suffered.â
Darlene put on a fake smile. âDonât worry. I will live well in case Vivian needs my life from time to time to
ensure that Vivian will live forever.â
However, his words reminded her that if she died half a year later, Avery would probably dig out all her
organs and freeze them, so that he could leave them to Vivian whom he loved most.
Thinking of it, Darlene felt that she had to at least think of a way to leave Avery before she died. It could
also be considered as ensuring that she would not be broken apart after she died.
Avery saw that Darlene was sneering at him, and he felt angry again.
Now that Darlene looked so desperate, Avery did not want to argue with her, so he simply got up and
went out to smoke at the end of the corridor.
After finishing half a box of cigarettes, he looked out of the window and found it was almost another
morning. And he felt more frustrated for no
reason.
Only then did Avery remember that he had promised Vivian to accompany
her. He put out the cigarette and stood by the window for a while to disperse
the smell of smoke on his body. Only then did he turn back to Vivianâs room.
A nurse rushed out of the patientâs room and shouted, âWhere is the family member of the patient of No.
Three? She is not well now, hurry up!â
Avery suddenly came to his senses. It was Vivian.
His face suddenly turned dark. When he rushed into the room, he saw that Vivian had been stabbed in
the lower belly and fell to the ground with a pale
face.
And beside her stood Nigel, Darleneâs younger brother. There was a bloody dagger next to his feetâ¦
